The extension provided for in Decision No 1/2017 applies until 31 December 2019.\n(6)\nIt is appropriate to extend the application of the rules of origin established in Notes 2 and 3 on a permanent basis, because they are in line with the principles of the modernisation of the Agreement.\n(7)\nAnnex III should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:\nDone at …,\nFor the Joint Committee",
