The European Commission has published a notice on the application of the transitional rules of origin concerning diagonal cumulation between those Contracting Parties to the PEM Convention that incorporate the PEM transitional rules of origin in their bilateral preferential trade agreements with each other (so-called applying Contracting Parties) in the pan-Euro-Mediterranean zone.
Table 1 contains the "Simplified overview of cumulation possibilities as of 1 January 2022" and Table 2 shows the "Date of application of transitional rules of origin provising for diagonal cumulation".
Diagonal cumulation (of working or processing and/or materials) is only allowed if the applying Contracting Parties of final manufacture and the applying Contracting Parties of final destination have concluded free trade agreements containing the same rules of origin with all the applying Contracting Parties involved in the acquisition of originating status.
Products originating in an applying Contracting Party which has not concluded an agreement with the applying Contracting Parties of final manufacture and/or the applying Contracting Parties of final destination shall be treated as non-originating.
