The following shall be considered as wholly obtained in an ESA State or in the Community:\n(a) mineral products extracted from their soil or from their seabed;\n(b) fruit and vegetable products harvested there;\n(c) live animals born and raised there;\n(d) products from live animals raised there;\n(e) (i) products obtained by hunting or fishing conducted there;\n(ii) products of aquaculture, including mariculture, where the fish are born and raised there;\n(f) products of sea fishing and other products taken from the sea outside the territorial waters of the Community or of an ESA State by their vessels;\n(g) products made aboard their factory ships exclusively from products referred to in (f);\n(h) used articles collected there which are fit only for the recovery of raw materials, including used tyres fit only for retreading or for use as waste;\n(i) waste and scrap resulting from manufacturing operations conducted there;\n(j) products extracted from marine soil or subsoil outside their territorial waters provided that they have sole rights to work that soil or subsoil;\n(k) goods produced there exclusively from the products specified in (a) to (j).\n2. The terms ‘their vessels’ and ‘their factory ships’ in paragraph 1(f) and (g) shall apply only to vessels and factory ships:\n(a) which are registered in an EC Member State or in an ESA State;\n(b) which sail under the flag of an EC Member State or of an ESA State;\n(c) which meet one of the following conditions:\n(i) they are at least 50 per cent owned by nationals of an EC Member State or of an ESA State; or\n(ii) they are owned by companies\nwhich have their head office and their main place of business in an EC Member State or in an ESA State; and\nwhich are at least 50 per cent owned by an EC Member State or by an ESA State, public entities or nationals of that State.\n3. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2, the Community shall recognise, upon request of an ESA State, that vessels chartered or leased by the ESA State be treated as ‘their vessels’ to undertake fisheries activities in its exclusive economic zone provided that the charter or lease agreement, for which the Community has been offered the right of first refusal, has been accepted by the Customs Cooperation Committee as providing adequate opportunities for developing the capacity of the ESA State to fish on its own account and in particular, as conferring on the ESA State the responsibility for the nautical and commercial management of the vessel at its disposal for a significant period of time.\n4. The conditions of paragraph 2 can be fulfilled in different States insofar as they belong to ESA States. In this case, products shall be deemed to have the origin of the State of the nationals or of companies to which the vessel or factory ship belongs in accordance with paragraph 2(c). In the event of a vessel or factory ship owned by nationals or companies of States belonging to different Economic Partnership Agreements, the products shall be deemed to have the origin of the State whose nationals or companies contribute to the highest share in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2(c).",
