Propositionens huvudsakliga innehåll

I propositionen föreslås att riksdagen godkänner ett frihandelsavtal och ett
avtal om handeln med jordbruksvaror mellan Sverige och Estland. Frihan-
delsavtalets syfte är att avskaffa alla tullar och kvantitativa restriktioner för
handeln med industrivaror mellan Sverige och Estland. Vissa restriktioner -
främst vad avser export av råvaror från Estland - kommer dock att kvarstå
under en övergångsperiod. Avtalet om handeln med jordbruksvaror innebär
att visa tullar och kvantitativa restriktioner avskaffas för handeln med jord-
bruksprodukter, bearbetade jordbruksprodukter och fisk.

Proposition om godkännande av frihandelsavtal
mellan Sverige och Estland, m.m.

1 Inledning

Sverige inledde förhandlingar om frihandel med de baltiska staterna i de-
cember 1991. Förhandlingarna har förts bilateralt till skillnad från de frihan-
delsförhandlingar som förts inom Europeiska frihandelssammanslutningen
(EFTA) med Polen, Tjeckoslovakien och Ungern. Även Finland inledde un-
der hösten 1991 bilaterala förhandlingar med de tre baltiska staterna, och
Norge gjorde detsamma i böljan av år 1992. Finland undertecknade ett fri-
handelsavtal med Estland i januari 1992.

Frihandelsavtalet mellan Sverige och Estland undertecknades av de båda
ländernas regeringschefer i Stockholm den 31 mars 1992. Avtalet träder i
kraft först efter det att parterna notifierat varandra om att de konstitutio-
nella kraven för avtalets ikraftträdande uppfyllts. Under förhandlingarna
har parterna sagt sig sträva mot att avtalet skall träda i kraft under sommaren
1992.

Avtalet gäller i princip på obestämd tid. Det måste emellertid sägas upp
om Sverige blir medlem av de Europeiska gemenskaperna (EG), eftersom
Sverige då automatiskt övertar EG:s handelsregim gentemot länder utanför
gemenskapen. Att regeringen ändå beslutat ingå frihandelsavtal med de bal-
tiska staterna hänger samman med att marknadstillträde för dessa stater är
särskilt viktigt under de närmaste åren. Samtidigt etablerar Sverige redan
från början ett gott konkurrensläge i Baltikum. Förhoppningen är att även
EG skall hinna komma överens om frihandel med Baltikum innan Sverige
inträder i gemenskapen. EG har inledningsvis förhandlat om icke-preferen-
tiella handels- och samarbetsavtal, omfattande i första hand tillerkännande
av status som mest gynnad nation. Därtill har de baltiska staterna beviljats
speciella tullpreferenser inom GSP-systemet.

Frihandelsavtalet i engelsk originaltext och i svensk översättning bör fogas
till protokollet i detta ärende som bilaga 1. Vissa tillämpnings- och tolknings-
regler har avtalats och utgör en del av frihandelsavtalet. Dessa bör bifogas
som bilaga 2.

Parallella förhandlingar har förts om ett särskilt jordbruksavtal. Detta bör
fogas till protokollet som bilaga 3.

Under förberedelsearbetet har kommerskollegium utfört ett antal utred-

Prop. 1991/92:147
ningar och avgivit yttranden. Representanter för kommerskollegium och
statens jordbruksverk har deltagit i förhandlingarna. Kollegiet och jord-
bruksverket har i förekommande fall konsulterat berörda näringslivsorgani-
sationer.

Den bakgrund till förhandlingarna som jag tecknar i avsnitt 3 berör, i syfte
att ge en helhetsbild, förhandlingarna med alla tre baltiska stater.

2 Sveriges handelsförbindelser med Estland

Det finns fortfarande inga tillförlitliga siffror över den svensk-estniska han-
delns omfattning. Svårigheterna hänger bl.a. samman med att en betydande
del av handeln med Estland fortfarande torde registreras som handel med
Ryssland/Oberoende Staters Samvälde. Sveriges handelsförbindelser med
Estland är av betydligt större omfattning än med Lettland och Litauen. En-
ligt estnisk statistik är Sverige idag Estlands största exportmarknad utanför
f.d. Sovjetunionen, medan Sveriges andel av importen är mindre.

På kort sikt torde import från Baltikum vara av större intresse för svenska
företag än export, inte minst med tanke på svårigheterna att finansiera ex-
porten. Innan produktionen i de estniska företagen moderniseras kommer
importen sannolikt att domineras av varor som legotillverkas enligt svenska
specifikationer och av råvaror. Estlands viktigaste råvarutillgångar utgörs av
skog, oljeskiffer och torv. Estland kommer dock att behålla vissa restriktio-
ner på exporten av viktiga råvaror, åtminstone till dess prisnivån i landet an-
passats till världsmarknaden.

De svenska direktinvesteringarna i Estland är redan av betydande omfatt-
ning. Enligt estniska uppgifter står Sverige för omkring en tredjedel av det
utländska kapital som investerats i Estland. En stor del av de företag i vilka
investeringarna skett arbetar med legotillverkning för export till Sverige och
andra länder i väst. Legotillverkning har hittills främst förekommit inom tex-
tilindustrin, den lätta verkstadsindustrin samt byggnadsmateriel- och möbel-
industrin. Denna typ av verksamhet gynnas av att svenska tullar på import
från Estland avskaffas.

Möjligheterna för svensk export är beroende av den fortsatta ekonomiska
utvecklingen i Estland. Trots att köpkraften på den estniska marknaden och
finansieringsmöjligheterna utgör starkt begränsande faktorer är intresset
från svenskt näringsliv relativt starkt. Exportrådet har sedan ett par år till-
baka ett kontor i Tallinn.

Estland har i dag inga införseltullar som begränsar svenska företags till-
träde till den estniska marknaden. Frihandelsavtalet skyddar svenska ex-
portföretag för det fall sådana tullar skulle införas i framtiden.

3 Förhandlingarnas bakgrund

Estland återfick, i likhet med de övriga baltiska staterna, sin självständighet
i augusti 1991. Detta innebar samtidigt att man kunde bölja utveckla kontak-

ter västerut efter en 50-årig isolering från västvärlden. Estland befann sig i

Prop. 1991/92:147
detta avseende, liksom Lettland och Litauen, i en helt annan situation än de
centraleuropeiska staterna. Dels hade de baltiska republikernas handel med
västvärlden i stort sett upphört, dels fanns i dessa stater varken institutioner
eller kunskap inom handelsområdet.

Av dessa skäl stod det klart att det skulle bli svårare att länka in de baltiska
staterna än de centraleuropeiska i det internationella handelssystemet. Sam-
tidigt var behovet av en utvidgning av förbindelserna västerut större i de bal-
tiska staterna, både vad avser tekniskt bistånd och vad avser marknadstill-
träde. Det framstod som särskilt viktigt att se till att dessa stater inte skulle
komma att diskrimineras i förhållande till de centraleuropeiska länderna.

Den svenska regeringen inledde i ett tidigt skede efter de baltiska stater-
nas självständighet en dialog med de tre staternas regeringar om möjligheten
att etablera frihandel. De bilaterala handelsavtal, som undertecknades i slu-
tet av oktober 1991, pekade på frihandel som ett mål i de bilaterala handels-
förbindelserna. Dessa avtal innebar i övrigt att de baltiska staterna tillerkän-
des status som mest gynnad nation.

Förhandlingar om frihandelsavtal inleddes med de baltiska staterna i de-
cember 1991. Eftersom regeringen ansett det vara angeläget att snarast libe-
ralisera handeln med Baltikum har förhandlingarna förts bilateralt och i ett
högt tempo. Frihandelsavtal undertecknades med alla tre staterna under lop-
pet av mars månad 1992.

Den viktigaste utgångspunkten för förhandlingarna har varit att så snabbt
som möjligt erbjuda de baltiska staterna en liberal handelspolitisk regim som
så långt som möjligt överensstämmer med de avtal som varit föremål för för-
handlingar mellan EFTA och Polen, Tjeckoslovakien resp. Ungern. Av
denna anledning har avtalstexterna utarbetats med EFTA-avtalen som mo-
dell.

I några avseenden är avtalen med de baltiska staterna enklare än EFTA-
avtalen, främst vad avser regler om konkurrens, statsstöd och immaterial-
rätt. Orsaken till detta är att de baltiska staterna ännu saknar institutioner
för att tillämpa sådana regler. I andra avseenden går Sveriges avtal med de
baltiska staterna något längre än EFTA-avtalen, då avtalen med Baltikum i
princip innebär en omedelbar ömsesidig tullavveckling för alla industrivaror.

Vidare har en utgångspunkt varit att se till att Sveriges konkurrenssitua-
tion i Baltikum inte blir sämre än något annat lands. Detta är knappast något
problem på kort sikt, eftersom de baltiska staterna har ett mycket lågt tull-
skydd, men kan bli en viktig fråga i ett längre perspektiv. Avskaffandet av
svenska importtullar på varor från Baltikum medför också att klimatet för
svenska investeringar i Baltikum blir gynnsammare, eftersom legotillverk-
ning för export till Sverige och andra marknader i dag är den viktigaste typen
av direktinvestering i Baltikum.

Det har också varit en strävan av få de svensk-baltiska frihandelsavtalen
att sinsemellan överensstämma så långt som möjligt. Dels har det inte an-
setts möjligt att behandla något av länderna sämre än de andra, dels har det
i vissa fall - framför allt inom tullområdet - av praktiska skäl visat sig motive-
rat att sträva efter identiska bestämmelser.

Vid utarbetandet av avtalen har bestämmelserna i Allmänna tull- och han-

delsavtalet (GATT) beaktats. Ett frihandelsavtal (bildandet av ett frihan-

Prop. 1991/92:147
delsområde) förutsätter, enligt GATT:s artikel XXIV, att tullar och andra
handelshinder skall avskaffas på i stort sett all handel mellan de deltagande
områdena med varor som härrör från dessa områden. Handelshindren får
inte skärpas gentemot icke-medlemmar. Beslutet av ingå frihandelsavtal
med Estland - liksom med de övriga baltiska staterna - kommer att notifie-
ras i GATT.

4 Frihandelsavtalet mellan Sverige och Estland

Genom avtalet med Estland skapas ett frihandelsområde mellan Sverige och
Estland. I och med att liknande frihandelsavtal förutses träda i kraft med
Lettland och Litauen ungefär samtidigt och med tanke på att de baltiska sta-
terna sinsemellan kommit överens om frihandel kommer alla industrivaror -
med vissa undantag - att kunna röra sig fritt mellan Sverige och samtliga bal-
tiska stater. Detta förhållande förenklar ursprungsbevisningen.

Utöver avvecklingen av handelshinder innehåller avtalet bl.a. bestämmel-
ser om utarbetande av konkurrensregler, föreskrifter om statsstöd och im-
materialrättsliga bestämmelser. Skyddsklausulerna omfattar bl.a. dump-
ning, men också uppfostringstullar (skydd av “infant industries”), reexport
(transitering via en av avtalsparternas territorium), allvarliga bristsituationer
och betalningsbalanssvårigheter.

Frihandelsavtalet omfattar sammanlagt 25 artiklar, två bilagor och ett pro-
tokoll om ursprungsregler jämte underbilagor. Dessutom har vissa tillämp-
nings- och tolkningsregler (“Memorandum of Understanding”) avtalats och
bilagts avtalet. I dessa regler fastslås bl.a. att restriktioner i handeln mellan
parterna - även sådana som införs med hänvisning till skyddsklausulerna -
inte får tillämpas på ett diskriminerande sätt och att handelsregimen mellan
länderna måste anpassas till EG:s handelsregim vid Sveriges inträde i EG.
Dessutom anges här vissa övergångsbestämmelser i fråga om ursprungsreg-
lerna.

Avtalet kompletteras av det svensk-estniska handelsavtalet från oktober
1991, vilket förblir i kraft. Handelsavtalets bestämmelse om ömsesidigt till-
erkännande av status som mest gynnad nation är betydelsefull så länge Est-
land inte anslutit sig till GATT. Denna bestämmelse har ingen motsvarighet
i frihandelsavtalet.

Frihandelsavtalets innehåll sammanfattas i det följande:

Avtalets inledning (ingress)

I ingressen hänvisas bl.a. till den samarbetsdeklaration som undertecknades
med EFTA den 10 december 1991. Av de samarbetsområden som angavs där
har några - främst vad avser tullområdet - stor betydelse för tillämpningen
av avtalet. Vidare fastslås att ingen föreskrift i avtalet får tolkas så att någon
av parterna befrias från förpliktelser enligt andra internationella överens-
kommelser.

Syfte

Prop. 1991/92:147

Artikel 1. Avtalets syfte är att genom utvidgning av den ömsesidiga handeln
befordra en harmonisk utveckling av de ekonomiska förbindelserna mellan
Sverige och Estland. Rättvisa konkurrensvillkor skall eftersträvas.

Omfattning

Artikel 2. Avtalet omfattar samtliga industrivaror med ursprung i Sverige el-
ler Estland.

Ursprungsregler

Artikel 3. Som villkor för tullförmånerna gäller att varorna skall ha ursprung
i en av de avtalsslutande parternas territorium. Kumulation tillåts emellertid
även med varor från Estland och Litauen. Sverige har tecknat frihandelsav-
tal även med dessa stater, och de baltiska staterna har sinsemellan kommit
överens om frihandel.

Regler för ursprungsbestämningen fastställs i protokoll A. Dessa regler
överensstämmer i princip med de ursprungsregler som gäller i Sveriges och
övriga EFTA-länders frihandelsavtal med EG samt mellan EFTA-länderna
och andra länder med vilka dessa har frihandelsavtal.

Vissa övergångsregler ges i de tolknings- och tillämpningsbestämmelser
som bifogas avtalet. Eftersom estniska exportörer saknar erfarenhet av ur-
sprungsreglernas tillämpning kommer vissa förenklade procedurer inte att
tillämpas i ett inledningsskede. Vidare återstår det att fastställa vilken est-
nisk myndighet som skall ha ansvar för att utfärda ursprungsbevis (EUR.l-
certifikat). Enligt ursprungsreglerna i liknande frihandelsavtal är detta ett
åliggande för tullmyndigheten. Sverige kan dock acceptera den estniska han-
delskammaren som utfärdande myndighet, om detta är ett estniskt önske-
mål. Slutligen förutsätter reglerna om kumulation att de baltiska staterna i
handeln sinsemellan kommer överens om att tillämpa samma ursprungsreg-
ler som i handeln med Sverige. Vissa mindre tekniska problem återstår att
lösa och har delegerats till den undergrupp till den gemensamma kommittén,
som skall behandla tullfrågor.

Parterna är medvetna om att Estland inledningsvis kommer att stöta på
svårigheter vid tillämpningen av ursprungsreglerna. Av denna anledning har
Sverige förklarat sig redo att ge visst tekniskt bistånd inom tullområdet. I
första hand avses detta bistånd ske inom EFTA:s ram, eftersom tullfrågor
är ett av de prioriterade områdena för EFTA:s samarbete med de baltiska
staterna. Samtidigt torde flera bilaterala insatser av mera operativt slag bli
nödvändiga. Problemen består dels i ovana vid de nya tullprocedurerna, dels
i avsaknaden av en effektiv tullgräns gentemot övriga f.d. sovjetrepubliker,
vilket medför svårigheter att kontrollera varors ursprung.

Avveckling av handelshinder

Artikel 4. Ingen ny import- eller exporttull eller avgift med motsvarande ver-
kan får införas i handeln mellan parterna. Redan existerande tullar och av-

gifter med motsvarande verkan skall avskaffas vid avtalets ikraftträdande.

Prop. 1991/92:147
Dessa bestämmelser skall även gälla fiskaltullar.

Avtalet innehåller alltså ett krav på ömsesidig omedelbar avveckling av
tullar m.m. Att någon asymmetrisk avveckling inte diskuterats hänger sam-
man med att Estland ännu inte infört skyddstullar. Vad gäller importtullar
kommer således i praktiken endast svenska tullar för import från Estland att
avskaffas, medan läget förvaror som importeras till Estland från Sverige inte
förändras.

Estland tar idag ut en mindre administrativ avgift på all import och export.
Denna kommer att avskaffas när ett nytt tullsystem införs. Från svensk sida
har vid förhandlingarna framförts att avgiften kan få tillämpas under en kor-
tare tid om den ej avvecklats före avtalets ikraftträdande. Frågan skall i så
fall behandlas av den gemensamma kommittén.

Artikel 5. Inga nya kvantitativa restriktioner eller åtgärder med motsvarande
verkan får införas i handeln mellan parterna. Redan existerande kvantitativa
restriktioner skall avvecklas. Vissa undantag framgår av avtalets bilaga I.
Sverige bibehåller exportrestriktioner vad avser bl.a. järnskrot.

Från estnisk sida har aviserats att man under en övergångstid önskar bibe-
hålla kvantitativa begränsningar på en rad specificerade råvaror och andra
varor med ringa bearbetningsgrad: massaved, timmer, sågat virke, oljeskif-
fer, dolomit, torv och pälsar. Begränsningarna motiveras med behovet av att
skydda inhemska råvarutillgångar. Listan över varor som omfattas av be-
gränsningarna med avseende på export till Sverige skall granskas med ut-
gångspunkt från avtalets skyddsklausuler och fastställas vid det första mötet
med den gemensamma kommittén i samband med att avtalet träder i kraft.
Av tolknings- och tillämpningsbestämmelserna framgår att tillämpningen av
begränsningarna inte får innebära att Sverige diskrimineras i förhållande till
något annat land.

Artikel 8. Parterna förbinder sig att inte vidta någon åtgärd av intern fiskal
natur som innebär att varor med ursprung i en avtalsslutande part diskrimi-
neras vid import till den andra parten.

Regler avseende betalningar

Artikel 9. En förutsättning för att frihandelsavtalet skall vara meningsfullt är
att betalningar som avser varuutbytet kan ske utan hinder. I avtalet före-
skrivs att transaktioner av denna typ inte skall vara underkastade några re-
striktioner. Vidare skall parterna avhålla sig från restriktioner i fråga om kre-
diter för kommersiella transaktioner. Bestämmelserna ansluter sig till vad
som redan gäller i Sverige.

Handeln med jordbruksprodukter m.m.

Artikel 7. Frihandelsavtalet omfattar i princip endast industrivaror, men
samtidigt förklarar de avtalsslutande parterna att de skall främja en harmo-
nisk utveckling av handeln med jordbruksvaror. I syfte att åstadkomma detta
har parterna slutit ett särskilt avtal om handeln med jordbruksprodukter och
fisk. Detta avtal redovisas under avsnitt 5.

Konkurrensregler m.m.

Prop. 1991/92:147

Artikel 10. Ett frihandelsavtal förutsätter normalt att parterna åtar sig att
säkerställa konkurrens på lika villkor och att införa regler för statsstöd och
offentlig upphandling i syfte att förhindra diskriminering. Avsaknaden av
lagstiftning och institutioner i Estland har dock medfört att det inte varit
möjligt att i samband med avtalets ikraftträdande göra några specifika ömse-
sidiga åtaganden inom dessa områden. Parterna förbinder sig endast att söka
säkerställa konkurrens på lika villkor i handeln. Detaljerade regler skall ut-
arbetas och införas före den 31 december 1995.

Avtalet förbjuder redan från ikraftträdandet direkt exportstöd. En lista
över vilka typer av stöd som åsyftas återges i bilaga 2 till avtalet. Motsva-
rande lista finns även i EFTA-konventionen. Om någon av parterna anser
att den andra parten inte iakttar förbudet mot direkt exportstöd finns möjlig-
het att tillgripa skyddsåtgärder.

Artikel 11. Det är i dag vanligt att frihandelsavtal och andra avtal om handel
mellan stater innehåller bestämmelser om skydd för immateriella rättighe-
ter, bl.a. upphovsrätt. Även på denna punkt saknar Estland i dag de institu-
tionella förutsättningarna för att göra mera långtgående åtaganden. Parterna
skall istället samarbeta för att gradvis förbättra skyddet för sådana rättighe-
ter samt utarbeta och införa regler på området före den 31 december 1995.
Dessa regler skall då motsvara den skyddsnivå som gäller inom EG och
EFTA.

Frän\jande av handel och ekonomiskt samarbete samt utvecklingsklausul

Artikel 12. Parterna åtar sig att främja handel och ekonomiskt samarbete.
Häri innefattas explicit även förbättringar av investeringsklimatet.

Artikel 13. Parterna skall verka för att utvidga och fördjupa samarbetet till
områden som inte inledningsvis täcks av avtalet. Det ligger nära till hands
att tjänstehandel och investeringar blir föremål för diskussioner i framtiden.

Undantag och skyddsåtgärder

Artikel 6. Avtalets bestämmelser hindrar inte parterna att tillämpa sådana
förbud eller restriktioner i handeln som motiveras av bl.a. hänsyn till allmän
moral eller säkerhet, intresset att skydda människors och djurs liv och hälsa,
miljöskydd, skydd av nationella konstnärliga och historiska skatter, eller
regler avseende guld och silver. Sådana åtgärder får dock inte utgöra ett me-
del för godtycklig diskriminering eller förtäckt begränsning av handeln.

Artikel 20. Avtalet skall inte hindra en part från att vidta åtgärder som den
anser vara nödvändiga med hänsyn till väsentliga säkerhetsintressen. Detta
gäller även internationella förpliktelser eller nationell politik, som avser
handel med krigsmateriel eller icke-spridning av biologiska eller kemiska va-
pen eller kärnvapen, eller som tillkommer i krig eller internationella krissi-
tuationer.

Artikel 14. Vid dumpning kan lämpliga skyddsåtgärder vidtas i enlighet med

artikel VI i GATT och därtill knutna regler samt enligt procedurbestämmel-

Prop. 1991/92:147
serna i artikel 19. Vid förhandlingarna har överenskommits att GATT-be-
stämmelserna om dumpning skall tillämpas trots att Estland ännu inte är
medlem av GATT.

Artikel 15. Om en ökning av importen av en viss vara med ursprung i Sverige
eller Estland orsakar eller hotar att orsaka allvarlig skada för tillverkare av
liknande varor hos den importerande parten kan denna vidta lämpliga åtgär-
der i enlighet med procedurbestämmelserna i artikel 19. Detsamma gäller
om en ökning av importen av en viss vara orsakar allvarliga störningar i en
relaterad sektor av näringslivet eller en allvarlig försämring av det ekono-
miska läget i en region.

Artikel 16. Avtalet ger Estland möjlighet att införa temporära skyddstullar i
vissa fall. Detta gäller i synnerhet uppbyggnaden av nya industrigrenar (in-
fant Industries), men också i fall där industrigrenar drabbas av särskilda svå-
righeter, i synnerhet om svårigheterna medför sociala problem. Möjligheten
att införa sådana skyddstullar motiveras av av den omfattande strukturom-
vandling som Estland står inför. Tullar av detta slag får endast införas under
de första fem åren efter avtalets ikraftträdande, och de får inte tillämpas för
en längre tid än fem år. Avtalet anger även maximinivåer för tullarna, vilka
inte får tillämpas på ett för Sverige diskriminerande sätt. Införandet av
skyddstullar skall föregås av konsultationer i den gemensamma kommittén.

Artikel 17. Skulle avvecklingen av handelshindren leda till en allvarlig brist-
situation och detta orsakar betydande svårigheter för den exporterande par-
ten får denna vidta lämpliga skyddsåtgärder i enlighet med procedurbestäm-
melserna i artikel 19. Detsamma gäller vid betydande svårigheter som orsa-
kas av reexport av en vara från den importerande parten. Det senare fallet
kan bli aktuellt om varan i fråga röner efterfrågan i ett land mot vilket den
exporterande parten fortsätter att tillämpa exportrestriktioner.

Artikel 18.1 händelse av allvarliga betalningsbalanssvårigheter eller inför hot
om sådana svårigheter får lämpliga skyddsåtgärder vidtas i enlighet med pro-
cedurreglema i artikel 19. Åtgärderna skall vara av tillfälligt slag och skall
notifieras till den gemensamma kommittén.

Artikel 22. Om en part anser att den andra parten försummat att fullgöra
någon förpliktelse enligt avtalet kan lämpliga skyddsåtgärder vidtas i enlig-
het med förfarandet i artikel 19.

Artikel 19. Huvudregeln för tillgripande av skyddsåtgärder är att överlägg-
ningar först skall äga rum i den gemensamma kommittén. Om dessa över-
läggningar inte skulle leda till resultat kan skyddsåtgärder tillgripas efter 30
dagar vad avser artiklarna 14, 15 och 17, annars efter tre månader. I vissa
exceptionella fall har en part rätt att vidta skyddsåtgärder utan föregående
överläggningar. Skyddsåtgärderna skall begränsas till vad som är strikt nöd-
vändigt för att rätta till situationen, och de skall regelbundet granskas av den
gemensamma kommittén för att så småningom elimineras.

Avtalets förvaltning

Prop. 1991/92:147

Artikel 21. För att administrera och övervaka tillämpningen av avtalet upp-
rättas en gemensam kommitté med representanter för båda parterna. Kom-
mittén har rätt att besluta om ändringar i avtalets bilagor. I andra frågor får
den gemensamma kommittén göra rekommendationer. I syfte att behandla
särskilda frågor kan kommittén besluta om att bilda underkommittéer eller
arbetsgrupper. Parterna har redan kommit överens om att bilda en under-
kommitté för tull- och ursprungsfrågor. Den gemensamma kommittén skall
mötas minst en gång per år samt när någon av parterna begär ett möte. Dess
beslut skall vara enhälliga. Vid förhandlingarna har parterna underhand
kommit överens om att kommittén normalt skall sammanträda på tjänste-
mannanivå.

Det första mötet med den gemensamma kommittén kommer, enligt över-
enskommelse vid förhandlingarna om avtalet, att äga rum i samband med att
avtalet träder i kraft. Vid detta möte skall vissa utestående frågor lösas,
främst en specificering av de varor för vilka kvantitativa begränsningar fort-
farande kommer att gälla vid export från Estland.

Slutbestämmelser

Artikel 24-25. Avtalet gäller på obestämd tid och träder i kraft första dagen
i månaden efter det att parterna underrättat varandra om att de nationella
kraven för ikraftträdande uppfyllts. Parterna härvid förhandlingarna sagt sig
sträva mot ett ikraftträdande senast den 1 juli 1992, Avtalets uppsägningstid
är sex månader.

5 Jordbruksavtalet mellan Sverige och Estland

Jordbruksförhandlingarna har resulterat i en skriftväxling om en bilateral
överenskommelse om handeln med jordbruksvaror.

I det bilaterala jordbruksavtalet ger Sverige tullförmåner inom trädgårds-
området samt för vissa bearbetade livsmedelsprodukter och fiskprodukter.
Estland har i sin tur erbjudit Sverige att inte tillämpa några tullar eller lik-
nande avgifter för ett antal bearbetade livsmedelsprodukter, t.ex. margarin,
soppor, viss barnmat, knäckebröd, skorpor, konfekfyr och chokladproduk-
ter. I jordbruksavtalet ges även möjlighet till framtida tekniskt-vetenskapligt
samarbete.

Till jordbruksavtalet har fogats särskilda ursprungsregler. Beträffande gil-
tighetstid och ikraftträdande är jordbruksavtalet kopplat till bestämmel-
serna i frihandelsavtalet. Jordbruksavtalet kan dock sägas upp separat från
frihandelsavtalet.

10

6 Godkännande av överenskommelserna

Mitt förslag: Riksdagen bör godkänna frihandelsavtalet mellan Sve-
rige och Estland och avtalet om handeln med jordbruksprodukter
mellan Sverige och Estland.

Skälen för mitt förslag: Den estniska ekonomin befinner sig i ett omvand-
lingsskede. I många avseenden är den ekonomiska och institutionella basen
i Estland - liksom i de övriga baltiska staterna - svagare än i de centraleuro-
peiska staterna. Det är därför angeläget att snabbt erbjuda Estland och de
övriga baltiska staterna marknadstillträde och en handelspolitisk regim på
åtminstone samma villkor som de centraleuropeiska staterna.

På sikt är den estniska marknaden av betydelse för svenskt näringsliv. Det
är därför viktigt att se till att svenska exportörer inte i framtiden drabbas av
tullbarriärer på denna marknad samt att de inte kommer att behandlas sämre
än företag från andra länder. Det är dessutom angeläget att skapa gynn-
samma villkor för svenska investeringar och legotillverkning i Estland ge-
nom att avskaffa importtullar i Sverige för varor som tillverkas i Estland.
Ett främjande av investeringar på detta sätt kommer såväl Estland som de
svenska företagen till del.

Genom frihandelsavtalet mellan Sverige och Estland uppnås dessa mål.
Genom avtalet skapas ett frihandelsområde inom vilket i stort sett alla han-
delshinder omedelbart avskaffas för industrivaror. Jag förordar därför att av-
talet godkänns.

Genom jordbruksavtalet mellan Sverige och Estland uppnås vissa lättna-
der i handeln parterna emellan med jordbruksprodukter, bearbetade jord-
bruksprodukter och fisk. Efter samråd med jordbruksministern förordar jag
att jordbruksavtalet godkänns.

Enligt 5 § lagen (1987:1069) om tullfrihet m.m. får regeringen meddela
föreskrifter om tullfrihet, tullnedsättning och återbetalning av tull med an-
ledning av internationella handelsöverenskommelser som Sverige har ingått
eller anslutit sig till. Det ankommer därför på regeringen att med stöd av
detta bemyndigande införliva avtalen i därav berörda delar i svensk rätt.

7 Hemställan

Jag hemställer att regeringen föreslår riksdagen att

1. godkänna frihandelsavtalet mellan Sverige och Estland,

2. godkänna jordbruksavtalet mellan Sverige och Estland.

8 Beslut

Regeringen ansluter sig till föredragandens överväganden och beslutar att
genom proposition föreslå riksdagen att anta de förslag som föredraganden
har lagt fram.

Article 19

Artikel 19

Procedure for the Application of Safeguard
Measures

1. Before initiating the procedure for the
application of safeguard measures set out in
this Article, the Parties shall endeavour to
solve any differences between them through
direct consultations.

2. Without prejudice to paragraph 5 of this
Article, a Party which considers resorting to
safeguard measures shall promptly notify the
Joint Committee thereof and supply all
relevant information. Consultations shall take
place without delay in the Joint Committee
with a view to finding a mutually acceptable
solution.

(a) As regards Article 10 (State Aid, and
Rules of Competition and Public
Procurement), the Party concerned
shall give to the Joint Committee all the
assistance required for the examination
of the case and shall, where appropri-
ate, eliminate the practice objected to.
If the Party in question fails to put an
end to the practice objected to within
the period fixed by the Joint Committee
or if the Joint Committee fails to reach
an agreement within three months of
the matter being referred to it, the Party
concerned may adopt the appropriate
measures to deal with the difficulties
resulting from the practice in question.

(b) As regards Artides 14 (Dumping), 15
(Emergency Action on Imports of
Particular Products), and 17 (Re-export
and Serious Shortage), the Joint
Committee shall examine the situation

Förfarande för tillämpning av
skyddsåtgärder

1. Innan förfarandet för tillämpning av
skyddsåtgärder enligt denna artikel inleds,
skall parterna bemöda sig om att lösa alla tvis-
ter mellan sig genom direkt samråd.

2. Utan att detta inverkar på punkt 5 i
denna artikel skall en part som avser att till-
gripa skyddsåtgärder omedelbart underrätta
Gemensamma kommittén om detta samt till-
handahålla erforderligt underlag. Samråd
skall utan dröjsmål äga rum i Gemensamma
kommittén för att finna en ömsesidigt godtag-
bar lösning.

a) I fråga om artikel 10 (Statsstöd, kon-
kurrensregler och offentlig upphand-
ling) skall den berörda parten lämna
Gemensamma kommittén allt nödvän-
digt bistånd för en undersökning av fal-
let och, i förekommande fall, undanröja
det påtalade förfarandet. Om parten
inte undanröjt det påtalade förfarandet
inom den av Gemensamma kommittén
utsatta tidsfristen, eller om Gemen-
samma kommittén inte lyckas nå enig-
het inom tre månader från det att pro-
blemet hänskjutits till kommittén, får
den berörda parten vidta lämpliga åt-
gärder för att komma till rätta med de
svårigheter som uppstått till följd av det
påtalade förfarandet.

b) I fråga om artiklarna 14 (Dumpning),
15 (Nödåtgärder vid import av vissa va-
ror) och 17 (Reexport och allvarliga
bristsituationer) skall Gemensamma
kommittén undersöka situationen och

and may take any decision needed to
put an end to the difficulties notified by
the Party concerned. In the absence of
such decision within thirty days of the
matter being referred to the Joint
Committee, the Party concerned may
adopt the measures necessary in order
to remedy the situation.

(c) As regards Article 22 (Fulfillment of
Obligations), the Party concerned may
take appropriate measures after the
consultations have been concluded or a
period of three months has elapsed from
the date of notification.

3. The safeguard measures taken shall be
notified immediately to the Joint Committee.
They shall be restricted with regard to their
extent and to their duration to what is strictly
necessary in order to rectify the situation
giving rise to their application and shall not be
in excess of the injury caused by the practice
or the difficulty in question. Priority shall be
given to such measures as will least disturb the
functioning of the Agreement.

4. The safeguard measures taken shall be
the object of regular consultations within the
Joint Committee with a view to their relaxa-
tion, substitution, or abolition as soon as pos-
sible.

5. Where exceptional circumstances requir-
ing immediate action make prior examination
impossible, the Party concerned may, in the
cases of Articles 10 (State Aid, and Rules of
Competition and Public Procurement), 14
(Dumping), 15 (Emergency Action on
Imports of Particular Products), and 17 (Re-
export and Serious Shortage), apply forthwith
the precautionary measures strictly necessary
to remedy the situation. The measures shall be
notified without delay, and consultations
between the Parties shall take place as soon as
possible within the Joint Committee.

får fatta de beslut som erfordras för att
undanröja de svårigheter som den be-
rörda parten underrättat om. Om ett
beslut inte fattats av Gemensamma
kommittén inom trettio dagar från det
att problemet hän skjutits till denna, får
den berörda parten vidta nödvändiga
åtgärder för att rätta till situationen.

c) I fråga om artikel 22 (Fullgörande av
förpliktelser) får den berörda parten
vidta lämpliga åtgärder efter det att
samrådet avslutats eller en period om
tre månader förflutit från dagen för un-
derrättelsen.

3. Gemensamma kommittén skall omedel-
bart underrättas om de skyddsåtgärder som
vidtagits. Åtgärdernas omfattning och varak-
tighet skall begränsas till vad som är absolut
nödvändigt för att rätta till det förhållande
som motiverade deras tillämpning och skall
inte gå utöver den skada som orsakats av förfa-
randet eller svårigheten ifråga. I första hand
skall sådana åtgärder vidtas som medför den
minsta störningen i tillämpningen av avtalet

4. Vidtagna skyddsåtgärder skall bli före-
mål för regelbundna samråd i Gemensamma
kommittén, i syfte att åtgärderna skall mild-
ras, ersättas eller upphävas utan dröjsmål.

5. När exceptionella förhållanden, som krä-
ver omedelbart ingripande, gör en föregående
undersökning omöjlig, får den berörda parten
i de situationer som avses i artiklarna 10 (Stats-
stöd, konkurrensregler och offentlig upphand-
ling), 14 (Dumpning), 15 (Nödfallsåtgärder
vid import av vissa varor) och 17 (Reexport
och allvarliga bristsituationer) genast vidta de
provisoriska åtgärder som är absolut nödvän-
diga för att rätta till situationen. Underrättelse
om åtgärderna skall utan dröjsmål lämnas, och
samråd mellan parterna skall så snart som
möjligt äga rum i Gemensamma kommittén.

within the meaning of this Protocol, or that

(iii) such materials originate in Latvia or in Lithuania in application
of the origin rules in the Agreements establishing Free Trade
Areas between Sweden on the one side and Latvia or Lithuania
on the other, in so far as the said rules are identical to those of
this Protocol.

2. For products obtained in Estonia the provisions of paragraph 1 (b) (iii)

tion between Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for the implementation of these
provisions has been established in accordance with the provisions of this Pro-
tocol.

Article 2

1. Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-paragraphs (b) (ii) and (iii) of pa-
ragraph 1 of Article 1, products originating within the meaning of this Proto-

and exported from one State Party to this Agreement to the other in the same
State or having undergone in the exporting State no working or processing
going beyond that referred to in paragraph 5 of Article 5, retain their origin.

in Estonia and in Sweden or in one or both of these States and Latvia and/or
Lithuania are used and those products have undergone no working or pro-
cessing in the exporting State going beyond that referred to in paragraph 5
of Article 5, the origin is determined by the product with the highest customs

duplicate issued in this way must be endorsed with one of the following
words: “DUPLICATE”, “DUPLIKAT”, “DUPLIKAAT”, “DUBLI-
KÄTS”, “DUBLIKATAS”.

The duplicate, which must bear the date of issue of the original EUR.l certi-

must be given without leaving any blank lines. Where the box is not comple-
tely filled, a horizontal line must be drawn below the last line of the descrip-
tion, the empty space being crossed through.

Article 13

1. Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 to 7 of Article 9 and paragraphs 1, 4 and 5
of Article 10, a simplified procedure for the issue of the documentation rela-
ting to the evidence of origin shall be applicable under the terms of the provi-
sions set out below.

2. The customs authorities in the exporting State may authorize any expor-
ter, hereinafter referred to as “approved exporter”, who makes frequent
shipments for which EUR. 1 certificates may be issued, and who offers to the
satisfaction of the customs authorities all quarantees necessary to verify the

35

originating status of the goods, not to submit to the customs office in the
exporting State at the time of export either the goods or the application for
an EUR.l certificate relating to those goods, for the purpose of obtaining an
EUR.l certificate under the conditions laid down in paragraphs 1 to 4 of Ar-
ticle 9.

3. In addition, the customs authorities may authorize an approved exporter
to draw up EUR.l certificates, valid for a maximum period of one year from
the date of issue, hereinafter referred to as “LT certificates” (Long term cer-
tificates). The authorization shall be granted only where the originating sta-
tus of the goods to be exported is expected to remain unchanged for the pe-
riod of validity of the LT certificate. If any goods are no longer covered by
the LT certificate, the approved exporter shall immediately inform the cus-
toms authorities who gave the authorization.

Where the simplified procedure applies, the customs authorities of the ex-
porting State may prescribe the use of EUR.l certificates bearing a distinc-
tive sign by which they may be identified.

4. The authorization referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 shall stipulate, at the
choice of customs authorities, that Box 11, “Customs endorsement”, of the
EUR.l certificate must:

(a) either be endorsed beforehand with the stamp of the competent cus-
toms office of the exporting State and the handwritten or non-
handwritten signature of an official of that office; or

(b) be endorsed by the approved exporter with a special stamp which
has been approved by the customs authorities of the exporting State
and corresponds to the specimen given in Annex V to this Protocol;
this stamp may be preprinted on the form.

Box 11, “Customs endorsement”, of the EUR.l certificate shall be comple-
ted if necessary by the approved exporter.

5. In the cases referred to in paragraph 4 (a), one of the following phrases
shall be entered in box 7, “Remarks”, of the EUR.l certificate: “Simplified
procedure”, “Förenklad procedur”, “Lihtsustatud protseduur”, “Vienkär-
sotä procedura”, “Supaprastinta procedura”. The approved exporter shall if
necessary indicate in Box 13, “Request for verification”, the name and ad-
dress of the customs authority competent to verify the EUR. 1 certificate.

6. In the case referred to in paragraph 3, the approved exporter shall also
enter in box 7 of the EUR.l certificate one of the following phrases:

“LT certificate valid until...”,

“LT-certifikat giltigt till ...”,

“Pikaajaline sertifikaat kehtib kuni ...”,

“LT sertifikäts ir spékä lidz ...”,

“LT-sertificatas galioja iki ...”.

(date indicated in Arabic numerals),

and a reference to the authorization under which the relevant LT certificate
has been issued.

Prop. 1991/92:147

Bilaga 1 (Prot. A)

The approved exporter shall not be required to refer in Box 8 and Box 9 of
the LT certificate to the marks and numbers and number and kind of pack-
ages and the gross weight (kg) or other measure (litres, m 3 , etc.). Box 8
must, however, contain a description and designation of the goods which is
sufficiently precise to allow for their identification.

7. Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 to 3 of Article 12, the LT certificate must
be submitted to the customs office of import at or before the first importation
of any goods to which it relätes. When the importer carries out the customs
clearance at several customs offices in the State of importation, the customs
authorities may request him to produce a copy of the LT certificate to all of
those offices.

8. Where an LT certificate has been submitted to the customs authorities,
the evidence of the originating status of the imported goods shall, during the
validity of the LT certificate, be given by invoices which satisfy the following
conditions:

(a) when an invoice includes both goods originating in Estonia, Swe-
den, Latvia or Lithuania and non-originating goods, the exporter
shall distinguish clearly between these two categories;

(b) the exporter shall State on each invoice the number of the LT certifi-
cate which covers the goods and the date of expiry of the certificate
and the name(s) of the country or countries in which the goods origi-
nate.

The statement on the invoice made by the exporter of the number
of the LT certificate with the indication of the country of origin shall
constitute a declaration that the goods fulfil the conditions laid
down in this Protocol for the acquisition of preferential origin status
in trade between the States Parties to this Agreement.

The customs authorities of the exporting State may require that the
entries, which, under the above provisions, must appear on the in-
voice, be supported by the manuscript signature followed by the
name of the signatory in clear script;

(c) the description and the designation of the goods on the invoice shall
be in sufficient detail to show clearly that the goods are also listed
on the LT certificate to which the invoice refers;

(d) the invoices can be made out only for the goods exported during the
period of validity of the relevant LT certificate. They may, however,
be produced at the import customs office within four months of the
date of their being made out by the exporter.

9. In the framework of the simplified procedures, invoices which satisfy the
conditions of this Article may be made out and/or transmitted using telecom-
munications or electronic data processing methods. Such invoices shall be
accepted by the customs of the importing State as evidence of the originating
status of the goods imported in accordance with the procedures laid down by
the customs authorities there.

Prop. 1991/92:147

Bilaga 1 (Prot. A)

10. Should the customs authorities of the exporting State identify that a cer-

37

tificate and/or invoice issued under the provisions of this Article is invalid
in relation to any goods supplied, they shall immediately notify the customs
authorities of the importing State of the facts.

11. The customs authorities may authorize an approved exporter to make
out invoices bearing the declaration given in Annex IV to this Protocol in
place of EUR.l certificates.

The declaration made by the approved exporter on the invoice shall be made
out in one of the official languages of the Parties to this Agreement or in
English. It shall be signed in manuscript and must either:

(a) have a reference to the approved exporter’s authorization number,
or

(b) be endorsed by the approved exporter with the special stamp refer-
red to in paragraph 4 (b) which has been approved by the customs
authorities of the exporting State. This stamp may be preprinted on
the invoice.

12. However, the customs authorities in the exporting State may authorize
an approved exporter not to sign the statement in paragraph 8 (b) or the
declaration referred to in paragraph 11 given on the invoice, when such in-
voices are made out and/or transmitted using telecommunication or electro-
nic data processing methods.

The said customs authorities shall lay down conditions for the implementa-
tion of this paragraph, including, if they so require, a written undertaking
from the approved exporter, that he accepts full responsibility for such state-
ment and declaration as if they had in fact been signed in manuscript by him.

13. In the authorization referred to in paragraphs 2, 3 and 11 the customs
authorities shall specify in particular:

(a) the conditions under which the application for EUR.l certificates
or for LT certificates are made or under which the declaration con-
cerning the origin of goods is made on the invoice;

(b) the conditions under which these applications, as well as a copy of
the invoices referring to an LT certificate and of the invoices bearing
the exporter’s declaration, are kept for at least two years. In the case
of LT certificates or invoices referring to an LT certificate, this pe-
riod shall begin from the date of expiry of validity of the LT certifi-
cate. These provisions shall also apply to the EUR. 1 certificates or
LT certificates and the invoices referring to an LT certificate, as well
as to invoices bearing the exporter’s declaration, having served as
the basis for the issue of other evidence of origin, used under the
conditions laid down in the second sub-paragraph of paragraph 3 of
Article 9.

14. The customs authorities in the exporting State may declare certain cate-
gories of goods ineligible for the special treatment provided for in para-
graphs 2, 3 and 11.

Prop. 1991/92:147

Bilaga 1 (Prot. A)

15. The customs authorities shall refuse the authorization referred to in pa-

38

ragraphs 2, 3 and 11 to exporters who do not offer all the guarantees which
they consider necessary.

The customs authorities may withdraw the authorizations at any time. They
must do so where the conditions of approval are no longer satisfied or the
approved exporter no longer offers those guarantees.

16. The approved exporter may be required to inform the customs authori-
ties, in accordance with the rules which they lay down, of goods to be dis-
patched by him, so that the competent customs office may make any verifica-
tion it thinks necessary before the dispatch of the goods.

17. The provisions of this Article shall not prejudice application of the rules
of the States Parties to this Agreement on customs formalities and the use of
customs documents.

Article 14

The declaration referred to in paragraph 1 (c) of Article 8 shall be made out
by the exporter in the form given in Annex IV to this Protocol in one of the
official languages of the States Parties to this Agreement or in English. It
shall be typed or stamped and signed by hand. The exporter must keep a
copy of the invoice bearing the said declaration for at least two years.

Article 15

1. The exporter or his representative shall submit with his request for an
EUR.l certificate any appropriate supporting document proving that the
goods to be exported qualify for the issue of an EUR.l certificate.

He shall undertake to submit at the request of the appropriate authorities,
any supplementary evidence they may require for the purpose of establishing
the correctness of the originating status of the goods eligible for preferential
treatment and shall undertake to agree to any inspection of his accounts and
to any check on the processes of the obtaining of the above goods, carried
out by the said authorities.

2. Exporters must keep for at least two years the supporting documents re-
ferred to in paragraph 1.

3. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply mutatis mutandis in the
case of the use of the procedures laid down in paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article
13 and of the declarations referred to in paragraphs 1 (b) and 1 (c) of Article

8.

Article 16

1. Goods sent from Estonia or Sweden for exhibition in a country other than
Estonia, Sweden, Latvia or Lithuania and sold after the exhibition for im-
portation into Estonia or Sweden shall benefit on importation from the pro-
visions of this Agreement on condition that the goods meet the requirements

den to the country in which the exhibition is held and has exhibited
them there;

(b) the goods have been sold or otherwise disposed of by that exporter
to someone in Sweden or Estonia;

(c) the goods have been consigned during the exhibition or immediately
thereafter to Sweden or Estonia in the State in which they were sent
for exhibition;

(d) the goods have not, since they were consigned for exhibition, been
used for any purpose other than demonstration at the exhibition.

2. An EUR.l certificate must be produced to the customs authorities in the
normal manner. The name and address of the exhibition must be indicated
thereon. Where necessary, additional documentary evidence of the nature
of the goods and the conditions under which they have been exhibited may
be required.

3. Paragraph 1 shall apply to any trade, industrial, agricultural or crafts exhi-
bition, fair or similar public show or display which is not organized for pri-
vate purposes in shops or business premises with a view to the sale of foreign
goods, and during which the goods remain under customs control.

Article 17

1. In order to ensure the proper application of this Title, Estonia and Swe-

made on invoices.

and that they do not undergo handling other than normal operations design-
ed to prevent their deterioration.

Prop. 1991/92:147

Bilaga 1 (Prot. A)

6. When products originating in Estonia and Sweden and imported into a

40

free zone under cover of an EUR.l certificate undergo treatment or proces-

at the exporter’s request if the treatment or processing undergone is in con-
formity with the provisions of this Protocol.

Article 18

true origin of the goods in question.

2. For the purposes of implementing the provisions of paragraph 1, the cus-
toms authorities of the importing State shall return the EUR.l certificate
and the invoice, if it has been submitted, or the invoice referring to an LT
certificate, or the invoice bearing the exporter’s declaration or a copy of
those documents, to the customs authorities of the exporting State, giving
where appropriate, the reasons of substance or form for an inquiry.

The customs authorities shall forward, in support of the request for a poste-
riori verification, any documents and information that have been obtained
suggesting that the particulars given on the EUR.l certificate or the invoice
are inaccurate.

If the customs authorities of the importing State decide to suspend the provi-
sions of the Agreement while awaiting the results of the verification, they
shall offer to release the goods to the importer subject to any precautionary
measures judged necessary.

3. The customs authorities of the importing State shall be informed of the
results of the verification as soon as possible. These results must be such as
to make it possible to determine whether the documents returned under pa-
ragraph 2 apply to the goods actually exported, and whether these goods can,
in fact, qualify for application of the preferential arrangements.

Where such disputes cannot be settled between the customs authorities of
the importing State and those of the exporting State or where they raise a
question as to the interpretation of this Protocol they shall be submitted to
the Sub-Committee on customs and origin matters referred to in Article 26.
The decisions shall be taken by the Joint Committee.

For the purpose of the subsequent verification of EUR. 1 certificates, the cus-

Note 1 - Article 1

The term "State Party to this Agreement" shall also
cover the territorial waters of this State.

Vessels operating on the high seas, including factory
ships, on which the fish caught is worked or processed

Note 2 - Artides 1, 2 and 4

The conditions set out in Article 1 relative to the
acquisition of originating status must be fulfilled without
interruption in a State Party to this Agreement except as
provided for in Article 2.

If originating products exported from a State Party to
this Agreement to another country are returned, except so
far as provided for in Article 2, they must be considered
as non-originating unless it can be demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the customs authorities that:

the goods returned are the same goods as those
exported, and

they have not undergone any operations beyond
that necessary to preserve them in good condition
while in that country.

Note 3 - Artides 1 and 2

In order to determine whether goods are originating
products it shall not be necessary to establish whether the
power and fuel, plant and equipment, and machines and tools
used to obtain such goods originate in third countries or
not.

Note 5 - Artides 4 and 5

1. The unit of qualification for the application of the
origin rules shall be the particular product which is
considered as the basic unit when determining

classification using the Nomenclature of the Harmonized

classified by virtue of General Rule 3, the unit of
qualification shall be determined in respect of each item
in the set; this also applies to the sets of heading Nos
6306,8206 and 9605.

Accordingly, it follows that:

- when a product composed of a group or assembly of
artides is classified under the terms of the
Harmonized System within a single heading, the
whole constitutes the unit of qualification,
when a consignment consists of a number of
identical products classified within the same
heading of the harmonized system, each product
must be taken individually when applying the
origin rules.

2. Where, under General Rule 5 of the Harmonized System,
packing is included with the product for classification
purposes, it shall be included for purposes of determining
origin.

List of working or processing reguired to be carried out on ' (Prot. A)

non-originating materials in order that the product
manufactured can obtain originating status

INTRODUCTORY NOTES

General

*

Note 1

1.1 The first two columns in the List describe the
products obtained. The first column gives the
heading number, or the Chapter number, used in
the Harmonized 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 and 4. Where, in some cases, the entry in the
first column is preceded by an "ex", this
signifies that the rule in column 3 or column 4
only applies to the part of that heading or
Chapter as described in column 2.

1.2 Where several heading numbers are grouped
together in column 1 or a Chapter is given and
the description of product in column 2 is
therefore given in general terms, the adjacent
rule in column 3 or column 4 applies to all
products which, under the Harmonized System, are
classified within headings of the Chapter or
within any of the headings grouped together in
column 1.

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 rule in
column 3 or column 4.

1.4 For the products of Chapters 84 and 91 inclusive,
if no origin rule is given in column 4, the rule
set out in column 3 has to be applied.

Note 2

2.1 The term "manufacture" covers any kind of working
or processing including "assembly" or specific
operations. However, see paragraph 5 of Note 3.
below.

49

4 Riksdagen 1991192. 1 saml. Nr 147

2.2

The tem "material" covers any "ingredient", "raw
material", "component" or "part", etc., used in
the manufacture of the product.

Prop. 1991/92:147

Bilaga 1 (Prot. A)

2.3 The tem "product" refers to the product being
manufactured, even if it is intended for later
use in another manufacturing operation.

Kote 3

3.1 In the case of any heading not in the List or any
part of a heading that is not in the List, the
"change of heading" rule set out in paragraph 2
of Article 5 applies. If a "change of heading"
condition applies to any entry in the List, then
it is contained in the rule in column 3.

3.2 The working or processing required by a rule in
column 3 or column 4 has to be carried out only
in relation to the non-originating materials
used. The restrictions contained in a rule in
column 3 or column 4 likewise apply only to the
non-originating materials U6ed.

3.3 Where a rule 6tates 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
No..." means that only materials classified
within the same heading as the product of a
different description than that of the product as
given in column 2 of the List may be used.

3.4 If a product, made from non-originating materials
which has acquired originating status during
manufacture by virtue of the change of heading
rule or its own List rule, is used as a material
in the process of manufacture of another product,
then the rule applicable to the product in which
it is incorporated does not apply to it.

- For exaaple:
an engine of heading No. 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 No.
7224.

50

If this forging has been forged in the
country concerned tron a non-originating
ingot then the forging has already acquired
origin by virtue of the rule for heading No.
ex 7224 in the List. It can then count as
originating in the value calculation for the
engine regardless of whether it was produced
in the same factory or another. The value
of the non-originating ingot is thus not
taken into account when adding up the value
of the non-originating materials used.

3.5 Even if the change of heading rule or the rule
contained in the List are satisfied, a product
does not have origin if the processing carried
out, taken as a whole, is insufficient in the
sense of paragraph 5 of Article 5.

Prop. 1991/92:147

Bilaga 1 (Prot. A)

Note 4

4.1 The rule in the List represents the minimum
amount of working or processing required and the
carrying out or more working or processing also
confers originating status; conversely, the
carrying out of less working or processing cannot
confer origin. Thus if a rule says 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 later stage is not.

4.2 When a rule in the List specifies that a product
may be manufactured from more than one material,
this means that any one or more of the materials
may be used. It does not require that all be
used.

- For exaaple:

The rule for fabrics says 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, one can use one or the other or
both.

If, however, a restriction applies to one
material and other restrictions apply to other
materials in the same rule, then the restrictions
only apply to the materials actually used.

- For exaaple:

The rule for sewing machines specifies that
the thread tension mechanism used has to
originate and that the zigzag mechanism used

51

also has to originate; these two
restrictions only apply if the mechanisms
concerned are actually incorporated into the
sewing machine.

4.3 When 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.

For »xaaple:

The rule for heading No. 1904 which
specifically excludes the use of cereals or
their derivatives does not prevent the use
of mineral salts, Chemicals and other
additives which are not produced from
cereals.

For example:

In the case of an article 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-wovens 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.

See also paragraph 3 of Note 7 in relation to
textiles.

4.4 If in a rule in the List two or more percentages
are given for the maximum value of non-
originating materials that can be used, then
these percentages may not be added together. The
maximum value of all the non-originating
materials used may never exceed the highest of
the percentages given. Furthermore the
individual percentages must not be exceeded in
relation to the particular materials they apply
to.

Textiles

Note 5

5.1 The term "natural fibres" is used in the List to
refer to fibres other than artificial or
synthetic fibres and is restricted to the stages
before spinning takes place, including waste and
unless otherwise specified, the term "natural

52

fibres" includes fibres that have been carded,
combed or otherwise processed but not spun.

5.2 The term "natural fibres" includes horsehair of
heading No. 0503, silk of headings Nos. 5002 and
5003 as well as the wool fibres, fine or coarse
animal hair of headings Nos. 5101 to 5105, the
cotton fibres of headings Nos. 5201 to 5203 and
the other vegetable fibres of headings Nos. 5301
to 5305.

Prop. 1991/92:147

Bilaga 1 (Prot. A)

5.3 The teras "textile pulp", "Chemical materials"
and "paper-making materials" are used in the List
to describe the materials not classified within
Chapters 50 to 63 which can be used to
manufacture artificial, synthetic or paper fibres
or yarns.

5.4 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 Nos.
5501 to 5507.

Note 6

6.1 In the case of the products classified within
those headings in the List to which reference is
made to this Introductory Note, the conditions
set out in column 3 of the List shall not be
applied to any basic textile materials used in
their manufacture which, taken together,
represent 10 % or less of the total weight of all
the basic textile materials used (but see also
paragraphs 3 and 4 of Note 6 below).

6.2 However, this tolerance may only be applied to
mixed products which have been made from two or
more basic textile materials, irrespective of
their share of the product.

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
Agava,

53

coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable
textile fibres,
synthetic san-sade filaments,
artificial man-made filaments,
synthetic man-made staple fibres,
artificial man-made staple fibres.

Prop. 1991/92:147

Bilaga 1 (Prot. A)

For axanpla:

A yarn of heading No. 5205 made from cotton
fibres and synthetic staple fibres is a
mixed yarn. Therefore, non-originating
materials that do not satisfy the origin
rules may be used up to a weight of 10 % of
the yarn.

For example:

A woollen fabric of heading No. 5112 made
from woollen yarn and synthetic yarn of
staple fibres is a mixed fabric. Therefore,
either non-originating synthetic yarn or
woollen yarn or a combination thereof that
does not satisfy the origin rules may be
used up to a weight of 10 * of the fabric

For example:

Tufted textile of heading No. 5802 made from
cotton yarn and cotton fabric is only a
mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself
a mixed fabric being made from two or more
different basic textile materials or if the
cotton yarns used are themselves mixtures.

For example:

If the tufted textile concerned had been
made from cotton yarn and synthetic fabric,
then, obviously, two separate basic textile
materials would have been used.

For example:

A carpet with tufts made both from
artificial yarns and tufts made from cotton
yarns and with a jute backing is a mixed
product because three basic textile
materials are used. Thus, any non-
originating materials that are used at a
later stage of manufacture than the rule
•llows, may be used, provided their total
weight taken together does not exceed 10 %
of the weight of the textile materials in
the carpet. Thus, the jute backing, the
artificial yarns and/or the cotton yarns
could be imported at that stage of
manufacture, provided the weight conditions
are met.

54

6.3 In the case of products incorporating "yarn made
of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments
of polyether whether or not gimped" this
tolerance is 20 % in respect of this yarn.

6.4 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.,
•andwiched by means of an adhesive between two
films of plastic film, this tolerance is 30 * in
respect of this strip.

Prop. 1991/92:147

Bilaga 1 (Prot. A)

Note 7

7.1 In the case of those textile product6, which are
marked in the List by a footnote referring to
thi6 Introductory Note, textile materials, with
the exception of linings and interlinings, which
do not satisfy the rule set out in the List in
column 3 for the made-up product concerned may be
used provided that they are classified in a
heading other than that of the product and that
their value doe6 not exceed 8 % of the ex-works
price of the product.

7.2 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 paragraph 3 of Note 4.

7.3 In accordance with paragraph 3 of Note 4, any
non-originating non-textile trimmings and
accessories or other product, which do not
contain any textiles, may, anyway, be used freely
where they cannot be made from the materials
listed in column 3.

- For »xanpl»:
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.

7.4 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.
