Appendix II to Annex III to Decision No 2/2000 is amended as follows:
- 1..
the following entry is inserted:
Applicable from 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2019.
A ‘chemical reaction’ is a process (including a biochemical process) which results in a molecule with a new structure by breaking intramolecular bonds and by forming new intramolecular bonds, or by altering the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule.
The following processes should not be considered for purposes of origin:
- (a)
dissolving in water or other solvents;
- (b)
the elimination of solvents including solvent water; or
- (c)
the addition or elimination of water of crystallization.’;
