COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2016/1315

of 18 July 2016

on the position to be adopted, on behalf of the European Union, within the Association Committee established by the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, as regards a temporary amendment to Protocol 3 to that Agreement concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation as a response in favour of the refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 207(4), in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1) The Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part(1) (‘the Agreement’) entered into force on 1 May 2002. Pursuant to Article 89 of the Agreement, an Association Council was established to examine any major issues arising within the framework of the Agreement and any other bilateral or international issues of mutual interest.

(2) Pursuant to Article 92 of the Agreement, an Association Committee was established with responsibility for the implementation of the Agreement and to which the Association Council may delegate, in full or in part, any of its powers.

(3) Pursuant to Article 94(1) of the Agreement, the Association Committee is to have the power to take decisions for the management of the Agreement as well as in areas where the Association Council has delegated its powers to it.

(4) Pursuant to Article 2 of Council and Commission Decision 2002/357/EC,ECSC(2), the position to be taken by the Union within the Association Committee is to be laid down by the Council on a proposal by the Commission.

(5) Pursuant to Article 39 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement, as amended by Decision No 1/2006 of the EU Jordan Association Council(3), the Association Committee may decide to amend the provisions of that Protocol.

(6) The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (‘Jordan’) submitted proposals to the international community for a holistic approach for an economic response to the Syrian refugee crisis.

(7) In the framework of the International Conference on Supporting Syria and the Region, held in London on 4 February 2016, Jordan declared its intention to permit Syrian refugees to participate in the formal labour market in Jordan and set out a number of steps it would take towards that end, in particular with a view to creating approximately 200 000 job opportunities for Syrian refugees.

(8) In relation to that initiative, Jordan made a specific request on 12 December 2015 for a temporary relaxation of the rules of origin to be made available under the Agreement so as to enhance Jordan's exports to the Union and create additional employment opportunities, especially for Syrian refugees.

(9) As a result of the examination of Jordan's request, the Council, on behalf of the Union, considers it justified to agree to additional rules of origin that, under the conditions specified in the Annex to the draft Decision of the Association Committee attached to this Decision (‘the draft Decision of the Association Committee’), in particular as regards relevant products, production zones and the creation of additional employment for Syrian refugees, should be made available as an alternative to those laid down in Annex II to Protocol 3 of the Agreement for exports from Jordan and should be those applied by the Union to imports from least-developed countries under the Generalised Scheme of Preferences/Everything But Arms initiative.

(10) The Annex to the draft Decision of the Association Committee should apply until 31 December 2026 and a mid-term review should be undertaken allowing the parties to make adjustments through a decision of the Association Committee, if necessary.

(11) The achievement by Jordan of its objective of creating around 200 000 job opportunities for Syrian refugees would represent a significant milestone also in respect of the implementation of the draft Decision of the Association Committee. Accordingly, once that objective is achieved, the Union and Jordan will consider further simplifying the conditions for producers in Jordan to benefit from the Decision of the Association Committee.

(12) The application of the Annex to the Decision of the Association Committee should be accompanied by appropriate monitoring and reporting obligations and it should be possible to suspend the application of the Annex to the Decision of the Association Committee if the conditions for its application are no longer fulfilled or if the conditions for safeguard measures are met,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

1. The position to be adopted on behalf of the European Union in the EU-Jordan Association Committee established in accordance with Article 92 of the Agreement, as regards a temporary amendment to Protocol 3 to that Agreement concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation, shall be based on the draft Decision of that Association Committee, attached to this Decision.

2. Minor technical corrections to the draft Decision of the Association Committee may be agreed to by the representatives of the Union in the Association Committee without further decision of the Council.

DRAFT

DECISION No [1]/2016 OF THE EU-JORDAN ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE

of [x/x/]2016

amending the provisions of Protocol 3 to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for certain categories of products, manufactured in dedicated development zones and industrial areas, and connected with generating employment for Syrian refugees and Jordanians, to obtain originating status

THE EU-JORDAN ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part, (‘the Agreement’), and in particular Article 94 of the Agreement and Article 39 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement,

Whereas:

(1) The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (‘Jordan’) submitted proposals to the international community for a holistic approach for an economic response to the Syrian refugee crisis and, as part of this initiative, made a specific request on 12 December 2015 for a relaxation of the rules of origin applied under the Agreement so as to enhance Jordan's exports to the Union and create additional employment opportunities, especially for Syrian refugees as well as Jordanians.

(2) In the framework of the International Conference on Supporting Syria and the Region, held in London on 4 February 2016, Jordan declared its intention to promote the participation of Syrian refugees in the formal labour market in Jordan and, in that context, to provide 50,000 job opportunities for Syrian refugees within one year of the Conference and the overall objective to increase this level to approximately 200 000 job opportunities over the next years.

(3) A temporary relaxation of applicable rules of origin would allow for certain goods produced in Jordan to be subject to less stringent rules of origin for the purpose of determining preferential treatment on import into the Union than would otherwise apply. This temporary relaxation of applicable rules of origin would be part of the Union's support to Jordan in the context of the Syrian crisis and with the aim of mitigating the costs imposed by hosting a large number of Syrian refugees.

(4) The Union considers that the requested relaxation of the rules of origin would contribute to the overall objective of creating approximately 200 000 job opportunities for Syrian refugees.

(5) The relaxation of the rules of origin would be subject to certain conditions with a view to ensuring that the benefit goes to exporters that contribute to the Jordanian effort of employing Syrian refugees.

(6) The Annex to this Decision applies to goods produced in production facilities located in dedicated development zones and industrial areas within Jordan and contributing to the generation of employment for Syrian refugees and for the Jordanian population.

(7) The objective of this initiative is to stimulate trade and investment in those development zones and industrial areas and thereby contribute to improved economic and employment opportunities for Syrian refugees and for the Jordanian population.

(8) Annex II to Protocol 3 of the Agreement should therefore be complemented in order to specify the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for such products to obtain originating status. This complementary list of working or processing should be based on the origin rules applied by the Union for imports from least-developed countries under the Generalised Scheme of Preferences / Everything But Arms initiative.

(9) There should be a possibility to suspend temporarily the application of the Annex to this Decision, establishing a complementary list of working and processing in relation to a specific production facility if the conditions laid out in Article 1.1 of the Annex to this Decision are not met by that facility.

(10) There should also be a possibility to suspend temporarily the application of the Annex to this Decision with respect to any of the products listed in Article 2 of the Annex to this Decision imported in such increased quantities and under such conditions as to cause, or threaten to cause, serious injuries to Union producers of like or directly competing products in all or part of the territory of the Union or serious disturbances in any sector of the economy of the Union, in accordance with Articles 24 and 26 of the Agreement.

(11) This Decision should be valid for a limited period sufficient to provide an incentive for additional investment and employment generation and should therefore expire on 31 December 2026. The Union and Jordan will carry out a mid-term review pursuant to Article 1.7 of the Annex to this Decision, and may amend the Annex to this Decision through a decision of the Association Committee in the light of experience gained through the implementation of this Decision.

(12) The achievement by Jordan of its objective set in the framework of the International Conference of 4 February 2016 of creating approximately 200 000 job opportunities for Syrian refugees would represent a significant milestone also in respect of the implementation of this Decision, whereupon the Union and Jordan will consider further simplifying this support measure. This would require an amendment of the Annex to this Decision through a decision of the Association Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Annex II to Protocol 3 of the Agreement, containing the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for the product manufactured to obtain originating status, is amended and complemented by Annex II(a) to Protocol 3 of the Agreement, contained in the Annex of this Decision.

Article 2

Annex II(a) to Protocol 3 of the Agreement, contained in the Annex to this Decision, specifies the conditions for application and the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for the product manufactured in specific geographic areas connected with the additional employment of Syrian refugees to obtain originating status.

Article 3

The Annex shall form an integral part of this Decision.

Article 4

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption by the Association Committee.

It shall apply until 31 December 2026.

ANNEX

ANNEX II(a)

ADDENDUM TO THE LIST OF WORKING OR PROCESSING REQUIRED TO BE CARRIED OUT ON NON-ORIGINATING MATERIALS IN ORDER FOR THE PRODUCT MANUFACTURED TO OBTAIN ORIGINATING STATUS

Article 1

Common provisions

1. For the products listed in Article 2, the following rules may also apply instead of the rules set out in Annex II of Protocol 3 provided that such products respect the following conditions:

(a) the required working or processing to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for such products to obtain originating status takes place in production facilities located in one of the following Development Zones and Industrial Areas: Alhussein Bin Abdullah II Industrial City- Alkarak, Aljeeza Industrial Area- Amman, Alqastal Industrial Area- Amman, Al Quwayrah Industrial Area- Aqaba, Al Tajamuat Industrial City- Sahab, Dulail Industrial City- Zarqa, El-Hashmieh Industrial Area- Zarqa, El-Ressaiefeh Industrial Areas- Zarqa, El-Sukhneh Industrial Area- Zarqa, Irbid Development Zone and Irbid Alhassan Industrial City, King Abdullah II Bin Alhussein City- Sahab, King Hussein Bin Talal Development Zone- Mafraq (including Mafraq Industrial City), Ma'an Development Zone- Ma'an, Marka Industrial Area- Amman, Muwaqqar Industrial City- Amman, Wadi El-Eisheh Industrial Area- Zarqa; and

(b) the total work force of each production facility located in these Development Zones and Industrial Areas in which such products are worked or processed contains a proportion of Syrian refugees equivalent to at least 15 % during the first and second years after the entry into force of this Annex and to at least 25 % from the beginning of the third year after the entry into force of this Annex. The relevant proportion shall be calculated at any point after the entry into force of this Annex and on an annual basis thereafter taking into account the number of Syrian refugees that are employed in formal and decent jobs and on a Full-Time Equivalent basis, and that have received a work permit valid for a minimum period of twelve months under the applicable legislation of Jordan.

2. The competent authorities of Jordan shall monitor the respect of the conditions laid out in paragraph 1, shall grant to an exporter of products fulfilling such conditions an authorisation number and shall promptly withdraw such authorisation number when such conditions are no longer fulfilled.

3. A proof of origin made out pursuant to this Annex shall contain the following statement in English: ‘Derogation — Annex II(a) of Protocol 3 — name of the Development Zone or industrial area and authorisation number granted by the competent authorities of Jordan’.

4. When, in accordance with Article 33(5) of this Protocol, as amended by decision No 1/2006 of the EU-Jordan Association Council(1), the customs authorities of Jordan inform the European Commission or the requesting customs authorities of the Member States of the European Union (the ‘Member States’) of the results of the verification, they shall specify that the products listed in Article 2 fulfil the conditions laid out in paragraph 1.

5. Where the verification procedure or any other available information appears to indicate that the conditions laid out in paragraph 1 are not fulfilled, Jordan shall, on its own initiative or at the request of the European Commission or the customs authorities of the Member States, carry out appropriate inquiries or arrange for such inquiries to be carried out with due urgency to identify and prevent such contraventions. For this purpose, the European Commission or the customs authorities of the Member States may participate in the inquiries.

6. Each year after the entry into force of this Annex, Jordan shall submit a report to the European Commission on the operation and effects of this Annex, including production and export statistics at 8 digit level or the highest level of detail available, and a list identifying the companies producing in the Development Zones and Industrial Areas and specifying the percentage of Syrian refugees they each employed on a year-by-year basis. The Parties shall jointly review such reports and any issues relating to the implementation and monitoring of this Annex in the framework of the existing bodies created under the Association Agreement and in particular in the Sub-Committee on Industry, Trade and Services. The Parties shall also consider the involvement of relevant international organisations such as the International Labour Organisation and the World Bank in the monitoring process.

7. Four years after the entry into force of this Annex, the Parties shall carry out a mid-term review to determine if any modifications should be made in light of experience of the implementation of this Annex and the evolution of the conflict in Syria. Based on this mid-term review, the Association Committee may consider possible amendments to this Annex.

8. Once Jordan achieves its target of facilitating a greater participation of Syrian refugees in the formal labour market by issuing a total number of around 200,000 work permits to Syrian refugees, the Parties will consider further simplifying the provisions of this Annex taking into consideration the developments in the Syrian refugee crisis. The Association Committee may amend this Annex to this effect.

(a) The Union may refer the matter to the Association Committee where the Union considers that there is insufficient evidence of Jordan or any specific production facility complying with the conditions laid out in paragraph 1. The referral shall identify whether the failure to comply with the conditions laid out in paragraph 1 is attributable to Jordan or any specific production facility.

(b) If within 90 days of the matter being referred to it, the Association Committee fails to declare that the respect of the conditions laid out in paragraph 1 is ensured, or if it fails to amend this Annex, the application of this Annex shall be suspended. The extent of the suspension shall be that identified in the referral of the Union to the Association Committee.

(c) The Association Committee may also decide to extend the 90-day period in which case the suspension shall take effect where the Association Council has failed to take any of the actions identified in point (b) within the extended period of time.

(d) The application of this Annex may resume if the Association Committee so decides.

(e) In the event of a suspension, this Annex shall continue to apply for a period of 4 months in relation to goods which are either in transit, or in temporary storage in customs warehouses or in free zones in the Union, on the date of temporary suspension of the Annex and for which a proof of origin was properly made out in accordance with the provisions of this Annex prior to the date of temporary suspension.

10. Where a product listed in Article 2 benefiting from the application of this Annex is imported in such increased quantities and under such conditions as to cause, or threaten to cause, serious injury to Union producers of like or directly competitive products in all or part of the territory of the Union or serious disturbances in any sector of the economy of the Union, in accordance with Articles 24 and 26 of the Agreement, the Union may refer the matter for examination to the Association Committee. If within 90 days of the matter being referred to it, the Association Committee fails to adopt a decision putting an end to such serious injury or threat thereof or serious disturbances or if no other satisfactory solution has been reached, the application of this Annex shall be suspended with respect to that product, until the Association Committee adopts a decision declaring that they have ended or until a satisfactory solution has been reached by the Parties and is notified to the Association Committee.

11. This Annex shall apply from the day of entry into force of the Association Committee decision to which it is attached and until 31 December 2026.
