         COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2019/41
         of 3 December 2018
         on the position to be taken, on behalf of the European Union, within the Association Committee established by 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, as regards an amendment to Protocol 3 to that Agreement concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation
         THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 207(4), in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
         Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     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 (1) (‘the Agreement’) entered into force on 1 May 2002. Pursuant to Article 89 of the Agreement, an Association Council was established to examine any major issues arising within the framework of this Agreement and any other bilateral or international issues of mutual interest.

                     (2)

                     Pursuant to Article 92 of the Agreement, an Association Committee was established which shall be responsible for the implementation of the Agreement and to which the Association Council may delegate, in full or in part, any of its powers.

                     (3)

                     Pursuant to Article 94(1) of the Agreement, the Association Committee is to have the power to take decisions for the management of the Agreement as well as in areas where the Association Council has delegated its powers to it.

                     (4)

                     Pursuant to Article 2 of Council and Commission Decision 2002/357/EC, ECSC (2), the position to be taken by the Union within the Association Committee shall be laid down by the Council, on a proposal by the Commission.

                     (5)

                     It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union's behalf in the EU-Jordan Association Committee, as the Decision of the Association Committee amending 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 the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (‘Jordan’), and connected with generating employment for Syrian refugees and Jordanians, to obtain originating status, will be binding on the Union.

                     (6)

                     Pursuant to Article 39 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement, as amended by Decision No 1/2006 of the EU-Jordan Association Council (3), the Association Committee may decide to amend the provisions of that Protocol.

                     (7)

                     Pursuant to the Protocol 3 to the Agreement, as amended by Decision No 1/2016 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, Jordan submitted proposals for further relaxation of the scheme introduced by Decision No 1/2016.

                     (8)

                     As a result of the examination of Jordan's request, the Council, on behalf of the Union, considers it justified to agree on additional flexibilities of the rules of origin scheme, notably as concerns abandoning the zone requirement, setting a requirement for the Syrian workforce at the level of 15 % of total workforce throughout the scheme for each production facility, and extending the validity of the scheme until 31 December 2030.

                     (9)

                     The Annex to the Decision of the Association Committee attached to this Decision (‘the Decision of the Association Committee’) should apply until 31 December 2030.

                     (10)

                     The achievement by Jordan of its objective of creating at least 60 000 legal and active job opportunities, in particular corresponding to active work permits or other measurable means corresponding to legal and active employment determined by the Association Committee, for Syrian refugees would also represent a significant milestone in respect of the implementation of the Decision of the Association Committee. Accordingly, when this objective is achieved, the Union and Jordan should, also taking into account the modernisation of the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean Preferential Rules of Origin, extend the coverage of the Decision of the Association Committee to include all production in Jordan of products covered by that Decision without the requirement to satisfy the specific conditions set out in Article 1(1)(b) of the Annex to the Decision of the Association Committee.

                     (11)

                     If the objective of creating a total number of at least 60 000 legal and active job opportunities, in particular corresponding to active work permits or other measurable means corresponding to legal and active employment determined by the Association Committee, for Syrian refugees is not achieved, the specific conditions set out in Article 1(1)(b) of the Annex to the Decision of the Association Committee should apply.

                     (12)

                     The application of the Annex to the Decision of the Association Committee should be accompanied by appropriate monitoring and reporting obligations and may be suspended if the conditions for its application are no longer fulfilled or if the conditions for safeguard measures are met,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

            Article 1
            The position to be adopted on behalf of the Union within the EU-Jordan Association Committee established by Article 92 of the Agreement, as regards the amendment of Protocol 3 to that Agreement concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation, shall be based on the draft Decision of the Association Committee, attached to this Decision.

            Article 2
            After its adoption, the Decision of the Association Committee shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

            Article 3
            This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

            Done at Brussels, 3 December 2018.

            DECISION No …/… OF THE EU-JORDAN ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE
            of …
            amending the provisions of Protocol 3 to 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, 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 the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and connected with generating employment for Syrian refugees and Jordanians, to obtain originating status
            THE EU-JORDAN ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE,
            Having regard to 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, (the ‘Agreement’), and in particular Article 94 of the Agreement and Article 39 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement,
            Whereas:

                        (1)

                        Since the entry into force of Decision No 1/2016 of the EU-Jordan Association Committee (1) until March 2018, eleven companies registered to benefit from the relaxed rules of origin scheme.

                        (2)

                        Between January 2016 and October 2018, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (‘Jordan’) issued over 120 000 work permits to Syrian refugees, of which approximately 42 000 were active work permits during the third quarter of 2018.

                        (3)

                        In December 2017, Jordan presented the first annual report on the implementation of Decision No 1/2016, 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.

                        (4)

                        Following the findings of the report, Jordan made a request to review Decision No 1/2016 and to introduce additional flexibilities. The Union considered that certain improvements of the scheme shall further contribute to a higher employment of Syrian refugees, as well as of Jordanians.

                        (5)

                        The further revision of requirements applicable to economic operators that wish to benefit from the rules of origin scheme would be subject to certain conditions with a view to ensuring that the benefits go hand in hand with the Jordanian efforts of employing Syrian refugees.

                        (6)

                        The Annex to this Decision applies to goods produced in production facilities located in Jordan and aims at contributing to the generation of employment for Syrian refugees and for the Jordanian population.

                        (7)

                        The objective of this amendment is to improve the original initiative in order to improve the effects of the scheme on the Jordanian economy and to contribute to increasing the number of Syrian refugees legally employed in Jordan, as well as Jordanians.

                        (8)

                        There should be a possibility of temporarily suspending the application of the Annex to this Decision, if the conditions set out in Article 1(1), (2) and (3) of the Annex to this Decision are not met.

                        (9)

                        There should also be a possibility of temporarily suspending the application of the Annex to this Decision with respect to any of the products listed in Article 2 of the Annex to this Decision imported in such increased quantities and under such conditions as to cause, or threaten to cause, serious injuries to Union producers of like or directly competing products in all or part of the territory of the Union or serious disturbances in any sector of the economy of the Union, in accordance with Articles 24 and 26 of the Agreement.

                        (10)

                        This Decision should be valid for a limited period sufficient to provide an incentive for additional investment and employment generation and should therefore expire on 31 December 2030.

                        (11)

                        The achievement by Jordan of its objective of creating at least 60 000 legal and active job opportunities, in particular corresponding to active work permits or other measurable means corresponding to legal and active employment determined by the Association Committee, for Syrian refugees would also represent a significant milestone. Accordingly, when this objective is achieved, the Union and Jordan should, also taking into account the modernisation of the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean Preferential Rules of Origin, extend the coverage of this Decision to include all production in Jordan of products covered by this Decision without the need to satisfy the specific conditions set out in Article 1(1)(b) of the Annex to this Decision.

                        (12)

                        If the objective of creating at least 60 000 legal and active job opportunities, in particular corresponding to active work permits or other measurable means corresponding to legal and active employment determined by the Association Committee, for Syrian refugees is not achieved, the specific conditions set out in Article 1(1)(b) of the Annex to this Decision should apply.

                        (13)

                        Jordan will develop a clear and stable legal framework for decent employment of Syrian refugees. Specifically, Jordan will continue to expand the sectors and occupations open to refugees, mainly at technical level, with a particular focus on women's participation. In implementing the National Empowerment and Employment Programme (NEEP) and in calculating the participation of non-Jordanians working across multiple sectors, Jordan will exempt refugees from possible reductions in the percentage of non-Jordanians. Jordan will also ensure that the cost of obtaining the right to work for Syrian refugees is permanently waived.

                        (14)

                        Jordan will, with assistance from the EU where appropriate, ensure a clear framework for the set-up of joint ventures between Jordanians and third-country nationals, including Syrian refugees, focusing particularly on women, ensuring that the rights of both parties are upheld, that ownership is clarified and that access to finance is facilitated.

                        (15)

                        Jordan will take necessary steps towards facilitating investment and improving the overall business climate. To that end, Jordan will adopt and implement an action plan in close consultation with the European Union. In particular, Jordan will create stronger synergies between public sector entities, the private sector and donors, in an effort to improve the business environment and attract investment. To complement this action, the international community will provide firm-level assistance and programmes, aimed at increasing the export capability of Jordanian firms in sectors where the country has a competitive advantage in the global market.

                        (16)

                        Jordan will ensure regulatory predictability, with the aim of reducing red tape and costs for investors. This includes the development of incentives for business formalisation, streamlining the process for company registration, adopting a stable legal infrastructure for insolvency, corporate taxation, bank lending, as well as developing non-bank financial institutions, and reducing the administrative burden for companies requiring an export license.

                        (17)

                        Jordan will organise a Business and Investors' Conference in Jordan in due time to showcase the reformed scheme that was initially supposed to take place in autumn 2017 in Jordan.

                        (18)

                        Jordan supports the modernisation of the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean Preferential Rules of Origin with the aim of improving market access conditions for Jordanian exports in the European Union and to expand regional trade and economic integration,

                  HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

               Article 1

                  1.   Annex II(a) to Protocol 3 to the Agreement, containing the conditions for application and the list of working or processing required to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for the product manufactured in Jordan connected with the additional employment of Syrian refugees to obtain originating status, is hereby replaced by a new version of Annex II(a) to Protocol 3 to the Agreement, contained in the Annex to this Decision.

                  2.   Annex II(a) to Protocol 3 to the Agreement shall apply until 31 December 2030.

                     ‘ANNEX II(a)
                     ADDENDUM TO THE LIST OF WORKING OR PROCESSING REQUIRED TO BE CARRIED OUT ON NON-ORIGINATING MATERIALS IN ORDER FOR THE PRODUCT MANUFACTURED TO OBTAIN ORIGINATING STATUS

                        Article 1

                        Common provisions

                     A.   Definition of origin

                                 1.

                                 For the products listed in Article 2, the following rules may also apply instead of the rules set out in Annex II of Protocol 3 provided that such products respect the following conditions:

                                             (a)

                                             the required working or processing to be carried out on non-originating materials in order for such products to obtain originating status takes place in production facilities located in the territory of Jordan; and

                                             (b)

                                             the total work force of each production facility located in the territory of Jordan where such products are worked or processed contains a proportion of Syrian refugees equivalent to at least 15 % (calculated individually for each production facility).

                                 2.

                                 The relevant proportion pursuant to subparagraph 1(b) shall be calculated at any point after the entry into force of this Annex and on an annual basis thereafter taking into account the number of Syrian refugees who are employed in formal and decent jobs and on a Full-Time Equivalent basis, and who have received a work permit valid for a minimum period of 12 months under the applicable legislation of Jordan.

                                 3.

                                 The competent authorities of Jordan shall monitor that the eligible production facilities comply with the conditions set out in paragraph 1, shall grant to production facilities fulfilling such conditions an authorisation number and shall promptly withdraw such authorisation number where the production facilities no longer fulfil such conditions.

                           B.   Proof of origin

                                 4.

                                 A proof of origin made out pursuant to this Annex shall contain the following statement in English: ‘Derogation – Annex II(a) of Protocol 3 – authorisation number granted by the competent authorities of Jordan’.

                           C.   Administrative cooperation

                                 5.

                                 When, in accordance with Article 33(5) of this Protocol, as amended by Decision No 1/2006 of the EU-Jordan Association Council (1), the customs authorities of Jordan inform the European Commission or the requesting customs authorities of the Member States of the European Union (the ‘Member States’) of the results of the verification, they shall specify that the products listed in Article 2 fulfil the conditions set out in paragraph 1.

                                 6.

                                 Where the verification procedure or any other available information appears to indicate that the conditions set out in paragraph 1 are not fulfilled, Jordan shall, on its own initiative or at the request of the European Commission or the customs authorities of the Member States, carry out appropriate inquiries or arrange for such inquiries to be carried out with due urgency to identify and prevent such violations. For that purpose, the European Commission or the customs authorities of the Member States may participate in the inquiries.

                           D.   Report, monitoring and review

                                 7.

                                 Each year after the entry into force of this Annex, Jordan shall submit a report to the European Commission on the operation and effects of this Annex, including production and export statistics at 8 digit level or the highest level of detail available for the products covered by the scheme. Jordan shall also submit a list identifying the production facilities in Jordan and specifying the percentage of Syrian refugees employed in each individual production facility on a year-by-year basis. Jordan shall also report, on a quarterly basis, on the overall number of active work permits or other measurable means corresponding to legal and active employment determined by the Association Committee. The Parties shall jointly review such reports and any issues relating to the implementation and monitoring of this Annex within the bodies established by the Association Agreement and in particular in the Sub-Committee on Industry, Trade and Services. The Parties shall also ensure the involvement of relevant international organisations, such as the International Labour Organisation and the World Bank, in the monitoring process.

                                 8.

                                 Once Jordan achieves its target of facilitating a greater participation of Syrian refugees in the formal labour market by issuing at least 60 000 active work permits, or other measurable means corresponding to legal and active employment determined by the Association Committee, to Syrian refugees, the Parties shall apply the provisions of this Annex to all products covered by this Annex without the requirement to comply with the specific conditions set out in subparagraph 1(b).

                                 9.

                                 If the Union considers that there is insufficient evidence of Jordan complying with the conditions set out in paragraph 8, the Union may refer the matter to the Association Committee. If the Association Committee fails to declare within 90 days of the referral of the matter that the conditions set out in paragraph 8 are met or to amend this Annex, the Union may decide that the specific conditions set out in subparagraph 1(b) shall apply.

                           E.   Temporary suspension

                                 10.

                                                (a)

                                                Without prejudice to paragraphs 8 and 9, the Union may, if it considers that there is insufficient evidence of Jordan or any specific production facility complying with the conditions set out in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, refer the matter to the Association Committee. That referral shall identify whether the failure to comply with the conditions set out in paragraph 1 is attributable to Jordan or any specific production facility.

                                                (b)

                                                If the Association Committee fails to declare within 90 days of the referral of the matter that the conditions set out in paragraph 1 are met or to amend this Annex, the application of this Annex shall be suspended. The extent of the suspension shall be that identified in the referral of the Union to the Association Committee.

                                                (c)
