Overview

Determination of preferential origin means a determination as to whether a product qualifies as an originating product in accordance with the Protocol on Rules of Origin to a Free Trade Agreement or the provisions of the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP).

In the process of determining the preferential origin, you will have to answer these main questions:

What is the HS code of your product?
Is the product wholly obtained in the country or not?
Do these rules provide origin to the product: minimal operations, list rules, cumulation, tolerance?
Are the principles of territoriality, “no drawback”, and direct transport (non-manipulation) respected?

In the video, some of the points are explained.

Rejoining PEM is indeed one of the steps that could improve market access for products from all industries that could be done within the current format of the TCA. It could also be done without changing the essential character of the relationships, i.e. one based on a simple and fairly basic trade agreement.

Pan-European-Mediterranean (PEM) Zone

The Pan-European-Mediterranean Zone was implemented in 2005. The idea was to create a cumulation zone between Europe and its neighbours and to encourage intra-regional integration by promoting … trade and cooperation. The PEM Convention allows for the cumulation of origin between different countries within the zone. Cumulation of origin is one of the ways to allow for greater flexibility when it comes to using raw and semi-manufactured materials in the production process. It allows a member of a trade agreement to use originating products from other members.
