The Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin (hereafter 'the Convention') lays down provisions on the origin of goods traded under relevant Agreements concluded between the Contracting Parties. Both the EU and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia signed the Convention on 15 June 2011. The EU and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia deposited their instruments of acceptance with the depositary of the Convention on 26 March 2012 and 14 June 2012, respectively. As a consequence, in application of its Article 10(3), the Convention entered into force in relation to the EU and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia on 1 May 2012 and on 1 August 2012, respectively. Article 6 of the Convention provides that each Contracting Party shall take appropriate measures to ensure that the Convention is effectively applied. To that effect, the Stabilisation and Association Council established by the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part, should adopt a Decision replacing Protocol 4 concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation by a new Protocol which, with regard to the rules of origin, refers to the Convention. The position to be taken by the EU within the Stabilisation and Association Council should be established by the Council. |
