concerned shall issue a new movement certificate EUR .1 at the exporter’s request if the treatment or processing undergone
complies with the provisions of this Protocol .
Article 40
Derogations
1 . Derogations from this Protocol may be adopted by the Committee where the development of existing industries or
the creation of new industries in Côte d’Ivoire justifies them . To that end, Côte d’Ivoire shall, before or when it submits the
matter to the Committee, notify the European Union of its request together with the reasons for the request in accordance
with paragraph 2 of this Article . The European Union shall respond positively to all requests by Côte d’Ivoire which are duly
justified in accordance with this Article and which cannot cause serious injury to an established EU industry .
2 . In order to facilitate the examination by the Committee of requests for derogation, Côte d’Ivoire shall, by means of the
form set out in Annex VII to this Protocol, furnish in support of its request the fullest possible information covering in
particular the points listed below:
(a) description of the finished product;
(b) nature and quantity of materials originating in a third country;
(c) nature and quantity of materials originating in Côte d’Ivoire or in the States or territories referred to in Article 7 of this
Protocol or the materials which have been processed there;
(d) manufacturing processes;
(e) value added;L 49/26 EN Official Journal of the European Union 21 .2 .2020
(f) number of employees in the undertaking concerned;
(g) anticipated volume of exports to the European Union;
(h) other possible sources of supply for raw materials;
(i) reasons for the duration requested in the light of efforts made to find new sources of supply;
(j) other observations .
The same rules shall apply to any requests for extension .
The Committee may modify the form .
3 . The examination of requests shall in particular take into account:
(a) the level of development or the geographical situation of Côte d’Ivoire;
(b) cases where the application of the existing rules of origin would significantly affect the ability of an existing industry in
Côte d’Ivoire to continue exporting to the European Union, with particular reference to cases where this could lead to
cessation of its activities;
(c) specific cases where it can be clearly demonstrated that significant investment in an industry could be deterred by the
rules of origin and where a derogation favouring the implementation of an investment programme would enable these
rules to be complied with in stages .
4 . In all cases, an examination shall be carried out to ascertain whether the rules relating to cumulation of origin do not
provide a solution to the problem .
5 . In the examination of requests, special account shall be taken, on a case-by-case basis, of the possibility of conferring
originating status on products which include in their composition materials originating in neighbouring developing countries,
least-developed countries or developing countries with which Côte d’Ivoire has special relations, provided that administrative
cooperation can be established .
6 . The Committee shall take all the necessary steps to ensure that a decision is reached as soon as possible and in any
case not later than seventy five (75) working days after the request is received by the EU Co-Chair of the Committee . If the
European Union does not inform Côte d’Ivoire of its position on the request within this period, the request shall be deemed
to have been accepted .
7 . (a) Derogations shall be valid for a period, generally of five (5) years, to be determined by the Committee .
(b) The derogation decision may provide for renewals without a new decision of the Committee being necessary,
provided that Côte d’Ivoire submits, three (3) months before the end of each period, proof that it is still unable to
meet the conditions of this Protocol which have been derogated from .
If any objection is made to the extension, the Committee shall examine it as soon as possible and decide whether
to extend the derogation . The Committee shall proceed as provided for in paragraph 7 of this Article . All necessary
measures shall be taken to avoid interruptions in the application of the derogation .21 .2 .2020 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 49/27
(c) In the periods referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (b), the Committee may review the terms for implementing
the derogation should a significant change be found to have taken place in the substantive factors governing the
decision to grant the derogation . On conclusion of its review the Committee may decide to amend the terms of its
decision as regards the scope of the derogation or any other condition previously laid down .
8 . Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 to 7 of this Article, the automatic derogations for canned tuna and tuna loins of HS
heading 1604 shall be granted only for a period of two (2) years from the date of entry into force of this Protocol, within the
limits of an annual degressive quota of 2 000 tonnes in the first year and 1 000 in the second year for canned products and
an annual quota of 200 tonnes for tuna loins .

ANNEX I
INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO THE LIST IN ANNEX II TO THE PROTOCOL
Note 1:
The list in Annex II to this Protocol sets out, for all products, the requisite conditions for the products to be considered as
sufficiently worked or processed within the meaning of Article 4 of the Protocol .
Note 2:
1 . The first two columns in the list describe the product obtained . The first column gives the heading number or
chapter number used in the Harmonised System and the second column gives the description of goods used in that
system for that heading or chapter . For each entry in the first two columns, a rule is specified in columns 3 or 4 . Where,
in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an ‘ex’, this signifies that the rules in columns 3 or 4 apply
only to the part of that heading as described in column 2 .
2 . Where several heading numbers are grouped together in column 1 or a chapter number is given and the description of
products in column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the adjacent rules in column 3 or 4 apply to all products which,
under the Harmonised System, are classified in headings of the chapter or in any of the headings grouped together in
column 1 .
3 . Where there are different rules in the list applying to different products within a heading, each indent contains the
description of that part of the heading covered by the adjacent rules in columns 3 or 4 .
4 . Where, for an entry in the first two columns, a rule is specified in both columns 3 and 4, the exporter may opt to apply
either the rule set out in column 3 or that set out in column 4 . If no origin rule is given in column 4, the rule set out
in column 3 has to be applied .
Note 3:
1 . The provisions of Article 4 of this Protocol, concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in
the manufacture of other products, apply regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where
these products are used or in another factory in the European Union or in Côte d’Ivoire .
For example:
An engine of heading 8407, for which the rule states that the value of the non-originating materials which may be
incorporated may not exceed 40 % of the ex-works price, is made from ‘other alloy steel roughly shaped by forging’ of
heading ex 7224 .
If that forging has been forged in the European Union from a non-originating ingot, it has already acquired originating
status by virtue of the rule for heading ex 7224 in the list . The forging can then count as originating in the value calculation
for the engine, regardless of whether it was produced in the same factory or in another factory in the European Union .
The value of the non-originating ingot is thus not taken into account when adding up the value of the non-originating
materials used .
2 . The rule in the list represents the minimum amount of working or processing required, and the carrying out of more
working or processing also confers originating status; conversely, the carrying out of less working or processing cannot
confer originating status . In other words, if a rule provides that non-originating material, at a certain level of manufacture,
may be used, the use of such material at an earlier stage of manufacture is allowed, and the use of such material at a later
stage is not .21 .2 .2020 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 49/31
3 . Without prejudice to Note 3 .2, where a rule states that ‘materials of any heading’ may be used, materials of the same
heading as the product may also be used, subject, however, to any specific limitations which may also be contained in
the rule . However, the expression ‘manufacture from materials of any heading, including other materials of heading …’
means that only materials classified in the same heading as the product of a description other than that of the product
as given in column 2 of the list may be used .
4 . When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material, this means that one
or more materials may be used . It does not require that all be used .
For example:
The rule for fabrics of headings 5208 to 5212 indicates that natural fibres may be used and that chemical materials,
among other materials, may also be used . This does not mean that both have to be used; it is possible to use one or the
other or both .
5 . Where a rule in the list specifies that a product must be manufactured from a particular material, the condition obviously
does not prevent the use of other materials which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satisfy the rule (see also
Note 6 .3 below in relation to textiles) .
For example:
The rule for prepared foods of heading 1904, which specifically excludes the use of cereals and their derivatives, does
not prevent the use of mineral salts, chemicals and other additives which are not produced from cereals .
However, this does not apply to products which, although they cannot be manufactured from the particular materials
specified in the list, can be produced from a material of the same nature at an earlier stage of manufacture .
For example:
In the case of an article of apparel of ex Chapter 62 of the Harmonised System made from non-woven materials, if the
use of only non-originating yarn is allowed for this class of article, it is not possible to start from non-woven cloth – even
if non-woven cloths cannot normally be made from yarn . In such cases, the starting material would normally be at the
stage before yarn — that is the fibre stage .
6 . Where, in a rule in the list, two percentages are given for the maximum value of non-originating materials that can be
used, then those percentages may not be added together . In other words, the maximum value of all the non-originating
materials used may never exceed the higher of the percentages given . Furthermore, the individual percentages must not
be exceeded in relation to the particular materials to which they apply .
Note 4:
1 . The term ‘natural fibres’ is used in the list to refer to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres . It is restricted to the
stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and, unless otherwise specified, includes fibres which have been
carded, combed or otherwise processed, but not spun .
2 . The term ‘natural fibres’ includes horsehair of heading 0511, silk of headings 5002 and 5003 as well as wool fibres and
fine or coarse animal hair of headings 5101 to 5105, cotton fibres of headings 5201 to 5203 and other vegetable fibres
of headings 5301 to 5305 .L 49/32 EN Official Journal of the European Union 21 .2 .2020
3 . The terms ‘textile pulp’, ‘chemical materials’ and ‘paper-making materials’ are used in the list to describe the materials
not classified in Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonised System which can be used to manufacture artificial, synthetic or
paper fibres or yarns .
4 . The term ‘man-made staple fibres’ is used in the list to refer to synthetic or artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste,
of headings 5501 to 5507 .
Note 5:
1 . Where, for a given product in the list, reference is made to this Note, the conditions set out in column 3 shall not be
applied to any basic textile materials used in the manufacture of this product, which, taken together, represent 10 % or
less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used (see also Notes 5 .3 and 5 .4 below .)
2 . However, the tolerance mentioned in Note 5 .1 may only be applied to mixed products which have been made from two
or more basic textile materials .
The following are the basic textile materials:
— silk,
— wool,
— coarse animal hair,
— fine animal hair,
— horsehair,
— cotton,
— paper-making materials and paper,
— flax,
— true hemp,
— jute and other textile bast fibres,
— sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave,
— coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres,
— synthetic man-made filaments,
— artificial man-made filaments,
— current conducting filaments,
— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene,
— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester,
— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide,
— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile,21 .2 .2020 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 49/33
— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide,
— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene,
— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyphenylene sulphide,
— synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyvinyl chloride,
— other synthetic man-made staple fibres,
— artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose,
— other artificial man-made staple fibres,
— yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether whether or not gimped,
— yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester whether or not gimped,
— products of heading 5605 (metallised yarn) incorporating strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core
of plastic film whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by
means of a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film,
— other products of heading 5605 .
For example:
A yarn of heading 5205 made from cotton fibres of heading 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading 5506 is a mixed
yarn . Therefore, non-originating synthetic staple fibres that do not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture
from chemical materials or textile pulp) may be used up to a weight of 10 % of the yarn .
For example:
A woollen fabric of heading 5112 made from woollen yarn of heading 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading
5509 is a mixed fabric . Therefore, synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from
chemical materials or textile pulp) or woollen yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture
from natural fibres, not carded or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning) or a combination of the two may be
used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10 % of the weight of the fabric .
For example:
Tufted textile fabric of heading 5802 made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and cotton fabric of heading 5210 is only
a mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric made from yarns classified in two separate headings or if the
cotton yarns used are themselves mixtures .
For example:
If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and synthetic fabric of heading
5407, then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tufted textile fabric is, accordingly,
a mixed product .
3 . In the case of products incorporating ‘yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether
or not gimped’, the tolerance is 20 % in respect of this yarn .L 49/34 EN Official Journal of the European Union 21 .2 .2020
4 . In the case of products incorporating ‘strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film whether
or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of an adhesive between
two layers of plastic film’, the tolerance is 30 % in respect of the strip .
Note 6:
1 . In the case of those textile products which are marked in the list by a footnote referring to this Introductory Note,
textile trimmings and accessories which do not satisfy the rule set out in the list in column 3 for the made up products
concerned may be used provided that their weight does not exceed 10 % of the total weight of all the textile materials
incorporated .
The textile trimmings and accessories concerned are those classified in Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonised System .
Linings and interlinings are not be regarded as trimmings or accessories .
2 . Any non-textile trimmings and accessories or other materials used which contain textiles do not have to satisfy the
conditions set out in column 3 even though they fall outside the scope of Note 3 .5 .
3 . In accordance with Note 3 .5, any non-originating non-textile trimmings and accessories or other product which do not
contain any textiles may, in all cases, be used freely where they cannot be made from the materials listed in column 3 .
For example (1), if a rule in the list says that for a particular textile item, such as a blouse, yarn must be used, this does
not prevent the use of metal items, such as buttons, because they cannot be made from textile materials .
4 . Where a percentage rule applies, the value of trimmings and accessories must be taken into account when calculating
the value of the non-originating materials incorporated .
Note 7:
1 . For the purposes of headings ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, the ‘specific processes’ are as
follows:
(a) vacuum distillation;
(b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process (2);
(c) cracking;
(d) reforming;
(e) extraction by means of selective solvents;
(f) the process comprising all the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric
anhydride, neutralisation with alkaline agents, decolourisation and purification with naturally active earth, activated
earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;
(g) polymerisation;
(h) alkylation;
(i) isomerisation .

(2) See Additional Explanatory Note 5(b) to Chapter 27 of the Combined Nomenclature .21 .2 .2020 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 49/35
2 . For the purposes of headings 2710 to 2712, the ‘specific processes’ are as follows:
(a) vacuum distillation;
(b) redistillation by a very thorough fractionation process (3);
(c) cracking;
(d) reforming;
(e) extraction by means of selective solvents;
(f) the process comprising all the following operations: processing with concentrated sulphuric acid, oleum or sulphuric
anhydride, neutralisation with alkaline agents, decolourisation and purification with naturally active earth, activated
earth, activated charcoal or bauxite;
(g) polymerisation;
(h) alkylation;
(i) isomerisation;
(j) in respect of heavy oils falling within heading ex 2710 only, desulphurisation with hydrogen resulting in a reduction
of at least 85 % of the sulphur content of the products processed (ASTM D 1266-59 T method);
(k) in respect of products falling within heading 2710 only, deparaffining by a process other than filtering;
(l) in respect of heavy oils falling within heading ex 2710 only, treatment with hydrogen at a pressure of more than
20 bar and a temperature of more than 250 °C with the use of a catalyst, other than to effect desulphurisation, when
the hydrogen constitutes an active element in a chemical reaction . Further treatment with hydrogen of lubricating
oils falling within heading ex 2710 (e .g . hydrofinishing or decolourisation) in order, more especially, to improve
colour or stability shall not, however, be deemed to be a specific process;
(m) in respect of fuel oils falling within heading ex 2710 only, atmospheric distillation, on condition that less than
30 % of these products distils, by volume, including losses, at 300 °C by the ASTM D 86 method;
(n) in respect of heavy oils other than gas oils and fuel oils falling within heading ex 2710 only, treatment by means
of a high-frequency electrical brush-discharge .
3 . For the purposes of headings ex 2707, 2713 to 2715, ex 2901, ex 2902 and ex 3403, simple operations such as cleaning,
decanting, desalting, water separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur content as a result of mixing
products with different sulphur contents, any combination of these operations or like operations do not confer origin .
