Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 i (new)
Paragraph 16 i (new)
16i. Supports the implementation of list rules in the area of non-preferential origin only for special cases, which should be regarded as exceptions; calls for the established rules as currently laid down in Annexes 10 and 11 to the Regulation implementating the Customs Code to be retained and for there not to be any further extension of list-based criteria to other products, so as to prevent the administrative burden on customs authorities and economic operators from being clearly added to without any compensating economic benefits;
Amendment 77 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 j (new)
Paragraph 16 j (new)
16j. Considers that complex list-based criteria cannot make up for the dropping of the current Article 25 of the Community Customs Code; does not agree with the Commission's assessment that there is a greater need for more legal certainty on the part of economic operators, which the introduction of list-based criteria would address; advocates, therefore, a reference to the respective regulation establishing a commercial policy measure, in which rules on determining origin in special cases, for example anti-dumping, can be laid down in line with requirements;

Paragraph 21 a (new)
Paragraph 21 a (new)
21a. Calls for the first sale rule to be retained and for the recording of costs in connection with the risk analysis, which entails significant costs for operators, to be dropped; is concerned about the proposals currently being discussed with regard to establishing a transaction value, which do not comply with the requirement relating to sale for export to the customs territory of the Community but. rather, represent a paradigm shift towards sale for import into the customs territory of the Community, which is not in accordance with the GATT Customs Valuation Code;
