Article 19 Movement certificates EUR.1 issued retrospectively

Notwithstanding Article 18(7) of this Protocol, a movement certificate EUR.1 may exceptionally be issued after exportation of the products to which it relates if:

1. (a)

   it was not issued at the time of exportation because of errors or involuntary omissions or special circumstances; or

2. (b)

   it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that a movement certificate EUR.1 was issued but was not accepted at importation for technical reasons.

For the implementation of paragraph 1 of this Article, the exporter must indicate in his application the place and date of exportation of the products to which the movement certificate EUR.1 relates, and state the reasons for his request.

The customs authorities may issue a movement certificate EUR.1 retrospectively only after verifying that the information supplied in the exporter's application complies with that in the corresponding file.

Movement certificates EUR.1 issued retrospectively shall be endorsed with the following entry:

‘DÉLIVRÉ A POSTERIORI’.

The endorsement referred to in paragraph 4 of this Article shall be inserted in the ‘Remarks’ box of the movement certificate EUR.1.
