The Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin ('the Convention') lays down provisions on the origin of goods traded under relevant Agreements concluded between the Contracting Parties. The EU and the Kingdom of Denmark in respect of the Faroe Islands signed the Convention on 15 June 2011. The EU and the Kingdom of Denmark in respect of the Faroe Islands deposited their instrument of acceptance with the depositary of the Convention on 26 March 2012 and 9 September 2013 respectively. As a consequence, the Convention entered into force in relation to the EU and the Faroe Islands on 1 May 2012 and on 1 November 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 Joint Committee established by the Agreement between the European Community, of the one part, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faroe Islands, 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 Joint Committee should be established by the Council. |
