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. The EU and Serbia signed the Convention on 15 June 2011 and 12 November 2012, respectively. The EU and Serbia deposited their instruments of acceptance with the depositary of the Convention on 26 March 2012 and 1 July 2013, respectively. As a consequence, in application of its Article 10(3), the Convention entered into force in relation to the EU and Serbia on 1 May 2012 and on 1 September 2013, 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 Republic of Serbia, of the other part , should adopt a Decision replacing Protocol 3 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. |
