Article 4 Withdrawal from the Convention

Should either the EU or Norway give notice in writing to the depositary of the Convention of their intention to withdraw from the Convention according to its Article 9, the EU and Norway shall immediately enter into negotiations on rules of origin for the purpose of implementing this Agreement.

Until the entry into force of such newly negotiated rules of origin, the rules of origin contained in Appendix I and, where appropriate, the relevant provisions of Appendix II to the Convention, applicable at the moment of withdrawal, shall continue to apply to this Agreement. However, as of the moment of withdrawal, the rules of origin contained in Appendix I and, where appropriate, the relevant provisions of Appendix II to the Convention shall be construed so as to allow bilateral cumulation between the EU and Norway only.
