Consequently, in application of its Article 10(3), the Convention entered into force in relation to the EU and Norway on 1 May 2012 and 1 January 2012, respectively.\n(6)\nThe Convention has included the participants in the Stabilisation and Association Process in the pan-Euro-Mediterranean zone of cumulation of origin.\n(7)\nWhere the transition towards the Convention is not simultaneous for all Contracting Parties within the cumulation zone, it should not lead to any less favourable situation than previously under the Protocol.\n(8)\nProtocol 3 to the Agreement should therefore be amended so as to make reference to the Convention,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:\nDone at\nFor the Joint Committee\nThe President\n…",
