Decision (EU) 2019/41 on the position to be taken in the Association Committee established by the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement between the European Union and Jordan as regards an amendment to Protocol 3 to that Agreement

Summary:

On 14 June 2018 the European Commission presented a proposal for a Decision on the position to be taken on behalf of the Union in the EU-Jordan Association Committee concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation.

The Council of the European Union adopted the Decision on 3 December.

Further information:

The Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, of the other part entered into force in 2002. The Agreement aims to foster the establishment of bilateral free trade with Jordan – the first step towards creating a wider regional Euro-Mediterranean free trade area.

The proposed Decision establishes the position to be taken on the Union's behalf in connection with the envisaged amendment of the provisions of Protocol 3 to the Agreement concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for certain categories of products, manufactured in the territory of Jordan and connected with generating employment for Syrian refugees and Jordanians, to obtain originating status
