Within CEFTA, Annex 4 to the Agreement on Amendment of and Accession to the Central European Free Trade Agreement (hereinafter, Annex 4 to the CEFTA 2006), lays down the applicable rules of origin for the application of the provisions of the CEFTA Agreement. The current rules of origin were adopted on 21 June 2021 by the CEFTA Joint Committee, which states in its decision that, pending the conclusion and entry into force of the revised PEM Convention, the CEFTA Parties would apply “alternative applicable rules of origin (hereinafter referred to as “Transitional rules”)”, that are a “set of rules of origin based on those of the amended Convention, which may be used as alternative rules of origin to those laid down” in the previous version of the PEM Convention.
Annex 4 to the CEFTA Agreementwas amended to incorporate the transitional rules. These transitional rule can be found in Appendix A to Annex 4 to the CEFTA 2006.
