COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2018/1486
of 28 September 2018
on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Customs Sub-Committee established by the Association Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part, as regards the replacement of Protocol I to that Agreement, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation, by a new protocol which refers to the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
The Association Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part (1) (‘the Agreement’) was signed by the Union in accordance with Council Decision 2014/668/EU (2) and entered into force on 1 September 2017. |
(2) |
Pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 39 of Protocol I to the Agreement (‘Protocol I’), the Customs Sub-Committee established under Article 83 of Chapter 5 of Title IV of the Agreement (‘the Customs Sub-Committee’) may adopt amendments to the provisions of that Protocol. |
(3) |
Pursuant to paragraph 2 of Article 39 of Protocol I, the Customs Sub-Committee may also decide, following the accession of Ukraine to the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin (3) (‘the Convention’), to replace the rules of origin set out in that Protocol by those appended to the Convention. |
(4) |
The Convention lays down provisions on the origin of goods traded under relevant agreements concluded between the Contracting Parties and entered into force in relation to the Union on 1 May 2012 and in relation to Ukraine on 1 February 2018. |
(5) |
The Customs Sub-Committee is to adopt a Decision on the replacement of Protocol I, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation, by a new protocol which refers to the Convention. |
(6) |
It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union's behalf in the Customs Sub-Committee as the Decision of the Customs Sub-Committee will be binding on the Union. |
(7) |
Article 6 of the Convention provides that each Contracting Party is to take appropriate measures to ensure that the Convention is effectively applied. To that effect, Protocol I should be replaced by a new protocol which, with regard to the rules of origin, refers to the Convention. |
(8) |
The position to be taken on the Union's behalf within the Customs Sub-Committee should therefore be based on the draft Decision attached to this Decision. |
(9) |
As the Decision of the Customs Sub-Committee is to amend Protocol I, it should be published in the Official Journal of the European Union. |
(10) |
Within the Customs Sub-Committee, the Union is to be represented by the Commission in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 17 of the Treaty on European Union, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The position to be taken on the Union's behalf within the Customs Sub-Committee established under Article 83 of the Association Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part (‘the Customs Sub-Committee’) shall be based on the draft Decision attached to this Decision.
