For the purpose of the application of diagonal cumulation of origin among the applying Contracting Parties, the applying Contracting Parties concerned notify each other, through the European Commission, of the origin rules in force with the other applying Contracting Parties. It is recalled that diagonal cumulation can only be applied if the applying Contracting Parties of final manufacture and of final destination have concluded free trade agreements, containing identical rules of origin, with all the applying Contracting Parties participating in the acquisition of originating status, i.e. with all the applying Contracting Parties from which the materials used originate. Materials originating in an applying Contracting Party which has not concluded an agreement with the applying Contracting Parties of final manufacture and/or of final destination shall be treated as non-originating. Based on the notifications made by the applying Contracting Parties to the European Commission, the tables attached specify:
Table 1 – a simplified overview of cumulation possibilities on 1 September 2021.
Table 2 – the date from which diagonal cumulation becomes applicable.
In Table 1, an X marks the existence between 2 partners of a free trade agreement containing rules of origin allowing cumulation based on the transitional rules of origin. To use diagonal cumulation with a third partner, an X should be present in all the intersection of the table between the 3 partners. In Table 2, the dates mentioned refer to the date of application of diagonal cumulation on the basis of Article 8 of Appendix A to each protocol on rules of origin between the applying Contracting Parties. In that case the date is preceded by (T). The codes for the applying Contracting Parties listed in the tables are given here below.
