EC NOTE ON THE APPLICATION OF THE RULES OF NATIONALITY AND ORIGIN WITHIN THE ENPI CBC PROJECTS (14.02.2013.)
Integral part of the Grancy contract is Annex IV – Procurement Procedures. Please take note of Rules of origin (point 2.2). It says “If the basic act or the other instruments applicable to the programme under which the grant is financed contain rules of origin for supplies acquired by the Beneficiary in the context of the grant, the tenderer must state the origin of supplies. For the purpose of this annex, the term "origin" is defined in articles 23 and 24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code and other Community legislation governing non-preferential origin. Contractors must present proof of origin to the Beneficiary no later than when the first invoice is presented, for equipments and vehicles of a unit cost on purchase of more than € 5 000. The certificate of origin must be made out by the competent authorities of the country of origin of the supplies and must comply with the rules laid down by the relevant Community legislation”.
Because of that it is necessary to inform contractors about requirement of rules of origin. Rules of origin must be attached to the request for payment.
