In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 978/2012, in order to benefit from the tariff preferences, the products for which the tariff preferences are claimed have to originate in a beneficiary country.\n(2)\nThe rules of origin on the basis of which the Union scheme of generalised tariff preferences (‘the scheme’) is implemented were adapted in 2010 and are laid down in Articles 66 to 97w of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. The changes provided for in Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 concern, inter alia, the country coverage of the scheme and have thus an impact on certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, especially those regarding regional cumulation. Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should reflect those changes.\n(3)\nIt is therefore necessary to provide that regional cumulation applies amongst countries in the same regional group only where they are, at the time of exportation of the product to the Union, beneficiaries of the scheme.\n(4)\nIt is also necessary to provide that where countries are no longer beneficiaries of the scheme, certain of their obligations continue to apply, in particular as regards administrative cooperation, for a period of three years from the date of the change of their status, with the aim to enable the subsequent verification of proofs of origin for the products exported from those countries.\n(5)\nRegulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
