  "text": "1. Proofs of origin properly issued by either Jordan or a new Member State in the framework of preferential agreements or autonomous arrangements applied between them shall be accepted in the respective countries under this Protocol, provided that:\n(a) the acquisition of such origin confers preferential tariff treatment on the basis of either the preferential tariff measures contained in the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement or in the Community scheme of generalised tariff preferences;\n(b) the proof of origin and the transport documents were issued no later than the day before the date of accession;\n(c) the proof of origin is submitted to the customs authorities within the period of four months from the date of accession.\nWhere goods were declared for importation in either Jordan or a new Member State, prior to the date of accession, under preferential agreements or autonomous arrangements applied between Jordan and that new Member State at that time, proof of origin issued retrospectively under those agreements or arrangements may also be accepted provided that it is submitted to the customs authorities within the period of four months from the date of accession.\n2. Jordan and the new Member States are authorised to retain the authorisations with which the status of ‘approved exporters’ has been granted in the framework of preferential agreements or autonomous arrangements applied between them, provided that:\n(a) such a provision is also provided for in the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement concluded prior to the date of accession between Jordan and the Community;\nand\n(b) the approved exporters apply the rules of origin in force under that Agreement. These authorisations shall be replaced, no later than one year after the date of accession, by new authorisations issued under the conditions of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement.\n3. Requests for subsequent verification of proof of origin issued under the preferential agreements or autonomous arrangements referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be accepted by the competent customs authorities of either Jordan or the Member States for a period of three years after the issue of the proof of origin concerned and may be made by those authorities for a period of three years after acceptance of the proof of origin submitted to those authorities in support of an import declaration.",
