THE EU-CHILE ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other partf1, and in particular Article 38 of Annex III thereto;
Whereas:
(1)
Amendments were introduced on 1 January 2007 and on 1 January 2012 into the Nomenclature governed by the Convention on the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System (‘the Harmonised System’).
(2)
As the amendments to the Harmonised System were not intended to change the rules of origin, they do not make substantive changes to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part (‘the Agreement’).
(3)
In order to reflect those amendments in the Agreement, Appendix II to Annex III to the Agreement needs to be amended.
(4)
In view of the number of amendments to be made in Appendix II to Annex III, clarity requires it to be replaced in its entirety.
(5)
It has been recognised as necessary to amend the rules of origin for a number of products of Chapter 72 of the Harmonized System to reflect developments in the technological process of production of steel,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Done at …,
For the EU-Chile Association Committee
The President
