A. GENERAL PROVISIONS U.K.
This Annex deals on the one hand with the detailed criteria for economic conditions applicable to the inward processing arrangements and on the other hand with information to be exchanged in the framework of the administrative cooperation.
The cases, the format and the time limit within which information must be provided in accordance with Article 522 are indicated for each of the arrangements concerned. Information must also be communicated where the information concerning authorisations granted is modified.
B. DETAILED CRITERIA FOR ECONOMIC CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE INWARD PROCESSING ARRANGEMENTS U.K.
Codes and detailed criteria
:
Unavailability of goods produced in the Community falling within the same eight-digit CN code, which are of the same commercial quality and which have the same technical characteristics (comparable goods) as the import goods referred to in the application.
The unavailability covers the total absence of Community production of comparable goods, the unavailability of a sufficient quantity of those goods in order to carry out the processing operations envisaged or the fact that comparable Community goods cannot be made available to the applicant in time for the proposed commercial operation to be carried out, despite a request having been made in good time.
:
Although available, comparable goods cannot be used because their price would make the proposed commercial operation economically unviable.
In deciding whether the price of comparable goods produced in the Community would make the proposed commercial operation economically unviable, it shall be necessary to take account, inter alia of the impact that the use of Community-produced goods would have on the cost price of the compensating product and hence on the disposal of the product on the third-country market, having regard to:
the price before duty of the goods for processing and the price of comparable goods produced in the Community less domestic taxes refunded or refundable on export, taking into account the conditions of sale and any refunds or other amounts applying under the common agricultural policy,
the price obtainable for the compensating products on the third-country market, as ascertained from commercial correspondence or other information.
:
Comparable goods which do not conform to the expressly stated requirements of the third-country purchaser of the compensating products or the compensating products must be obtained from import goods in order to comply with provisions concerning the protection of industrial or commercial property rights (contractual obligations).
:
The following are concerned:
operations involving import goods of a non-commercial nature;
operations carried out under a job-processing contract;
usual forms of handling referred to in Article 531;
repair;
processing operations on compensating products obtained under a previous inward processing authorisation the granting of which was subject to an examination of the economic conditions;
processing of durum wheat falling within CN code 1001 10 00 to produce pasta falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 ;
operations in which the value (1) of the import goods, by eight-digit CN code, does not exceed EUR 150 000 for goods listed in Annex 73 or EUR 500 000 for other goods, per applicant and per calendar year ( de minimis value); [F2or]
[F3building, modification or conversion of civil aircraft or satellites or parts of them.]
[F4. . . . .]
:
Where, according to Article 11 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93, import goods referred to under part A of Annex 73 are concerned and the applicant presents a document issued by a competent authority permitting the entry for the arrangements for those goods, in the limits of a quantity determined with the aid of a supply balance.]
:
The applicant considers the economic conditions to be fulfilled for reasons other than those corresponding to the previous codes. The reasons are indicated in his application.
