COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1927

of 19 November 2019

on the derogations from the ‘originating products’ rules laid down in the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore that apply within the limits of annual quotas for certain products from Singapore

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 58(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2018/1599 (2), the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore was signed on 19 October 2018. Conclusion of that Agreement (‘the Agreement’) was approved on behalf of the Union by Council Decision (EU) 2019/1875 (3).
(2) Protocol 1 of the Agreement concerns the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation. Annex B to that Protocol sets out a list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order that the product manufactured can obtain originating status. An addendum to that Annex (referred to as Annex B(a)) lays down alternative rules that may apply instead of the rules set out in Annex B for certain products to be considered as originating in Singapore, but the benefit of those alternative rules is limited by an annual quota.
(3) Products to which the alternative rules laid down in Annex B(a) apply can be imported into the Union provided they comply with the conditions set out in Annex B(a).
(4) The annual quotas set out in Annex B(a) should be managed on the basis of the chronological order of dates of acceptance of customs declarations for release for free circulation in accordance with the rules for the management of tariff quotas laid down in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (4).
(5) As provided in the relevant notice published in the
Official Journal of the European Union
 (5)
,
the Agreement is to enter into force on 21 November 2019. In order to ensure the effective management and timely application of the origin quotas set out in Annex B(a), this Regulation should apply from that date in order to give interested parties sufficient time to prepare for the application of this regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
