   This Annex is applicable to all cooperative activities undertaken under this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically agreed.
   II.   Ownership, Allocation and Exercise of Rights

               A.

               B.

               This Annex addresses the allocation of rights, interests and royalties between the Parties or their implementing agencies designated under the terms of Article 5. Each Party shall ensure that the other Party may obtain the rights to intellectual property allocated to it or to the implementing agencies designated under the terms of Article 5 in accordance with this Annex. This Annex does not otherwise alter or prejudice the allocation of such rights, interests and royalties between a Party and its nationals, which shall be determined by that Party’s laws and practices.

               C.

               The termination or expiry of this Agreement shall not affect the rights or obligations arising under this Annex.

               D.

                           (1)

                           In the case of cooperative activities between the Parties or between implementing agencies designated under the terms of Article 5, intellectual property arising from joint research, i.e., research supported by both Parties, shall be treated in a Technology Management Plan (TMP) according to the following principles:

                                       (a)

                                       the Parties or their implementing agencies designated under the terms of Article 5 shall notify each other within a reasonable time of any intellectual property rights arising under this Agreement;

                                       (b)

                                       (c)

                                       each Party or implementing agency designated under the terms of Article 5 shall seek protection for the intellectual property to which it obtains rights and interests under the TMP in a timely fashion;

                                       (d)

                                       each Party or implementing agency designated under the terms of Article 5 shall have a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use any intellectual property arising under this Agreement for research purposes only, in accordance with the respective applicable laws of the Parties;

                                       (e)

                                       visiting researchers having participated in the creation of intellectual property shall receive intellectual property rights and royalty shares earned by the host institutions from licensing of such intellectual property rights under the policies of the host institutions. Each Party shall accord to the visiting researchers no less favorable treatment than that it accords to its own nationals with regard to the grant of the aforementioned intellectual property rights and royalty shares. In addition, each visiting researcher named as an inventor shall be entitled to treatment as a national of the host Party with regard to awards, bonuses, benefits, or any other rewards, in accordance with the policy of the host institution and the respective laws of the Parties applicable thereto.

                           (2)

                           In the case of cooperative activities other than joint research which falls within the provisions of paragraph II.D.(1), to the extent required by its laws and regulations, each Party shall require all its participants to enter into specific agreements concerning the implementation of joint research activities and the respective rights and obligations of the participants. With respect to intellectual property, the agreements will normally address, among other things, ownership, protection, user rights for research purposes, exploitation and dissemination, including arrangements for joint publication, the rights and obligations of visiting researchers and dispute settlement procedures. The agreements may also address other issues such as access to foreground and background information, licensing and deliverables.

               E.

               While maintaining the conditions of competition in areas affected by this Agreement, each Party shall endeavour to ensure that rights acquired pursuant to this Agreement and arrangements made under it are exercised in such a way as to encourage, in particular, (i) the use of information created, or otherwise made available, under this Agreement and its dissemination insofar as this is in accordance both with the conditions set out in this Agreement, the provisions of Section IV hereof and any rules which may be in force under the applicable laws of the Parties governing the treatment of sensitive or confidential information in the nuclear field, and (ii) the adoption and implementation of international standards.

         III.   Copyright Works

   IV.   Scientific Literary Works

   Subject to the treatment provided for undisclosed information in Section V, the following procedures shall apply:

               A.

               Each Party or implementing agency designated under the terms of Article 5 shall be entitled to a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free license in all countries to translate, reproduce and publicly distribute information contained in scientific and technical journals, articles, reports, books, or other media, directly arising from joint research pursuant to this Agreement by or on behalf of the Parties.

               B.

               All copyrighted work prepared under this provision shall respect the author’s moral rights accordingly to Article 6bis of Berne Convention. They shall also bear a clearly visible acknowledgment of the cooperative support of the Parties.

         V.   Undisclosed Information

   A.   Documentary Undisclosed Information

               (1)

               Each Party shall identify at the earliest possible moment the information that they wish to remain undisclosed in relation to this Agreement, taking account, inter alia, of the following criteria:

                           (a)

                           the information is secret in the sense that it is not, as a body or in the precise configuration or assembly of its components, generally known or readily accessible by lawful means;

                           (b)

                           the information has actual or potential commercial value by virtue of its secrecy; and

                           (c)

                           the information has been subject to steps that were reasonable under the circumstances by the person lawfully in control, to maintain its secrecy. The Parties may in certain cases agree that, unless otherwise indicated, parts or all of the information provided, exchanged or created in the course of joint research pursuant to this Agreement may not be disclosed.

               (2)

               Each Party shall ensure that undisclosed information under this Agreement and its ensuing privileged nature is readily recognisable as such by the other Party, for example, by means of an appropriate marking or restrictive legend. This also applies to any reproduction of the said information, in whole or in part. A Party or participant receiving undisclosed information pursuant to this agreement shall respect the privileged nature thereof. These limitations shall automatically terminate when this information is disclosed by the owner without restriction.

               (3)

               Undisclosed information communicated under this Agreement may be disseminated by the receiving Party to persons employed by the receiving Party, including its contractors, and other concerned departments of the Party authorised for the specific purposes of the joint research underway, on a-need-to-know basis and provided that any undisclosed information so disseminated shall be protected in accordance with this Annex and to the extent provided by each Party’s laws and regulations, and shall be readily recognisable as such, as set out above.

         B.   Non-Documentary Undisclosed Information
   Non-documentary undisclosed or other confidential or privileged information provided in seminars and other meetings arranged under this Agreement, or information arising from the attachment of staff, use of facilities, or joint projects, shall be treated by the Parties or their designees according to the principles specified for documentary information in this Agreement, provided, however, that the recipient of such undisclosed or other confidential or privileged information has been made aware in writing of the confidential character of the information communicated not later than the time such a communication is made.
   C.   Control
   Each Party shall endeavor to ensure that undisclosed information received by it under this Agreement shall be controlled as provided herein. If one of the Parties becomes aware that it will be, or may be reasonably expected to become, unable to meet the non-dissemination provisions of paragraphs A and B above, it shall immediately inform the other Party. The Parties shall thereafter consult to define an appropriate course of action.
   VI.   Dispute Settlement and New or Unforeseen Types of Intellectual Property

               A.

               Disputes between the Parties concerning intellectual property shall be resolved in accordance with Article 10, paragraph 3 of this Agreement. However, upon mutual agreement of the Parties, such a dispute may be submitted to an international arbitral tribunal for binding arbitration in accordance with the applicable rules of international law. Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration rules of UNCITRAL shall govern.

               B.

               In the event either Party concludes that a new type of intellectual property not covered in a TMP or agreement between designated implementing agencies may result from a cooperative activity undertaken pursuant to this Agreement, or if other unforeseen difficulties arise, the Parties shall enter into immediate discussions in order to assure that the protection, exploitation and dissemination of the intellectual property in question are adequately provided for in their respective territories, in accordance with their national legislation.

         COUNCIL DECISION 2014/73/CFSP
   of 10 February 2014
   on a European Union military operation in the Central African Republic (EUFOR RCA)
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles 42(4) and 43(2) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In its Resolution 2127 (2013) on the situation in the Central African Republic (CAR), adopted on 5 December 2013, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) expressed deep concern about the continuing deterioration of the security situation and the multiple and increasing violations of international humanitarian law and human rights in the CAR. Furthermore, it authorised the deployment of the African-led International Support Mission in the CAR (AFISM-CAR) for a period of twelve months and authorized the deployment of French forces in the CAR, for a temporary period, to take all necessary measures to support AFISM-CAR in the discharge of its mandate.

               (2)

               Following the Council conclusions of 21 October 2013 and of 16 December 2013, the European Council, in its conclusions of 20 December 2013, expressed its concern about the continuously deteriorating crisis in the CAR and its severe humanitarian and human rights consequences. It welcomed the French military intervention in support of the African forces to help restore security as well as the consistent commitment of its African partners to stabilize the situation. As part of a comprehensive approach, it confirmed the Union's willingness to examine the use of relevant instruments to contribute towards the efforts under way to stabilise the country, including under the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), in both its military and civilian dimensions. It invited the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (HR) to present a proposal in this regard for a decision at the Council in January 2014.

               (3)

               On 20 January 2014, the Council approved a Crisis Management Concept for a military bridging CSDP operation in the CAR, (hereinafter referred to as ‘EUFOR RCA’), subject to a UNSC Resolution adopted under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. The Council stressed the importance of close cooperation with its partners, in particular the UN, the African Union (AU) and the CAR authorities, as well as with the French Operation Sangaris.

               (4)

               On 28 January 2014, the UNSC adopted Resolution 2134 (2014) authorising the establishment of an EU operation, EUFOR RCA.

               (5)

               On 23 January 2014, the Secretariat General of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) welcomed the establishment of an EU operation in the CAR.

               (6)

               On 24 January 2014, in a letter addressed to the HR, the interim President of the CAR welcomed the EU operation authorized by UNSC Resolution 2134 (2014).

               (7)

               EUFOR RCA should deploy as rapidly as possible to Full Operating Capability (FOC) in order to contribute to the stabilisation of the situation. It should conduct mandated tasks with a view to a handover to AFISM-CAR within four to six months from achieving FOC.

               (8)

               In accordance with Article 38 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), the Political and Security Committee (PSC) is to exercise, under the responsibility of the Council and of the HR, political control over the crisis management operation, provide it with strategic direction and take the relevant decisions in that regard.

               (9)

               It is necessary to negotiate and conclude international agreements relating to the status of Union units and personnel and to the participation of third States in Union operations.

               (10)

               Pursuant to Article 41(2) TEU and in accordance with Council Decision 2011/871/CFSP (1), the operational expenditure arising from this Decision, which has military or defence implications, is to be borne by the Member States.

               (11)

               In accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark does not participate in the elaboration and implementation of decisions and actions of the Union which have defence implications. Consequently, Denmark is not participating in the adoption of this Decision, is neither bound by it nor subject to its application and does not participate in the financing of this operation,

      COUNCIL DECISION

   of 10 November 2009
   on the procedure concerning derogations from the rules of origin set out in the Origin Protocols annexed to Economic Partnership Agreements with ACP States, and repealing Decision 2000/399/EC
   (2009/832/EC)
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133, in conjunction with the second paragraph of Article 300(2) and Article 300(4) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Annex V to the Partnership agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1) (ACP-EC Partnership Agreement) and its Protocols, among which the Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation, expired on 31 December 2007, according to Article 37(1) of that Agreement.

               (2)

               As provided for in Article 37(1) of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) were negotiated with regional groups of members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP States). Those EPAs are progressively being signed since 1 January 2008.

               (3)

               Article 39 of Protocol I concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation (Origin Protocol) of the Economic Partnership Agreement between the CARIFORUM States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part (2) — the first EPA signed with the ACP States — provides for a procedure for granting derogations from the rules of origin on request by an ACP State signatory to the EPA. Derogations should be adopted by a competent Committee. It is appropriate to provide for a procedure for establishing the Community position within that Committee in such a way that it can also apply to similar provisions of Origin Protocols to other EPAs to be signed with ACP States in the future.

               (4)

               Article 39(8) of the Origin Protocol provides that a decision should be reached as soon as possible and in any case not later than 75 working days after the request is received by the Community. If the Community does not inform the ACP State having submitted a request for derogation of its position within this period, the request will be deemed to have been accepted.

               (5)

               It is therefore necessary to adopt a procedure ensuring that the Community position can be adopted and communicated to the ACP States signatories to EPAs sufficiently in advance for ensuring that the relevant decision may be taken before the expiry of that deadline.

               (6)

               Council Decision 2000/399/EC of 16 June 2000 on the procedure concerning derogations from the rules of origin set out in Protocol No 1 to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement (3) provided for a delegation of powers to the Commission with regard to the adoption of a common position of the Community following a request by ACP States for derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Protocol 1 to Annex V to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement.

               (7)

               A similar delegation of powers to the Commission should now be provided for with regard to requests for derogations from the rules of origin laid down in the Origin Protocols of EPAs.

               (8)

               Decision 2000/399/EC should therefore be repealed,

         HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
   Article 1
   The Community position with regard to a request presented by ACP States signatory to Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) for derogation from the rules of origin laid down in the Origin Protocols to EPAs shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 2.
   Article 2
   1.   The Commission shall be assisted by the Customs Code Committee set up by Article 248a(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (4).
   2.   The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Customs Code Committee a draft Community position, within 25 working days from the receipt of a request for derogation by the Community. The Customs Code Committee shall deliver an opinion on the draft within a time limit determined by its Chairman according to the urgency of the matter concerned. The opinion shall be delivered by the majority laid down in Article 205(2) of the Treaty in the case of decisions which the Council is required to adopt on a proposal from the Commission. The votes of the representatives of the Member States shall be weighted in the manner set out in that Article. The Chairman shall not vote.
   3.   The Commission shall adopt the Community position and transmit it immediately to the competent Committee set up by the relevant EPA. However, if the Community position is not in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee, it shall be submitted by the Commission to the Council forthwith. In that event, the Commission shall defer its transmission to the competent Committee set up in the framework of the relevant EPA for a period of 25 working days from the date of the vote in the Customs Code Committee.
   4.   The Council, acting by a qualified majority, may adopt a different Community position within the period provided for in paragraph 3.
