Statute overview

About this statute

This provision sets transitional customs and origin rules for the Albania–EU enlargement protocol, including limits on Albania’s WTO claims, conditions for accepting origin proofs, treatment of goods in transit, and the protocol’s approval and entry-into-force steps. Tariff concessions for listed agricultural primary products are phased down from 80% of the basic duty in 2007 to zero by 2010. Products are treated as originating in the Community if they are obtained there and contain qualifying materials from listed places, subject to Article 2(1) and the further processing wording that is cut off in the source. This provision sets rules for when goods count as originating in the Community or Albania, how cumulation works, and what proof of origin is needed. Exporters or their authorised representatives must note “Albania” and “Ceuta and Melilla” on certain movement certificates or invoice declarations, and Ceuta and Melilla products need an additional box entry.
