Za 18. členom se doda naslednji člen in se ustrezno navede v seznamu vsebine protokola:

“18.a člen

Ločeno knjigovodsko izkazovanje

1. Če pri ločenem skladiščenju zalog izdelkov s poreklom in izdelkov brez porekla, ki so enaki ali med seboj zamenljivi, nastanejo težave zaradi stroškov ali dejanske izvedbene težave, lahko carinski organi na pisno zahtevo prizadetih strank za vodenje teh zalog dovolijo tako imenovano metodo “ločenega knjigovodskega izkazovanja”.

2. Ta metoda mora zagotoviti, da je število pridobljenih izdelkov v določenem referenčnem obdobju, ki se lahko štejejo za izdelke s poreklom, enako, kot bi ga dobili, če bi bile zaloge fizično ločene.

3. Carinski organi lahko tako dovoljenje izdajo pod katerimi koli pogoji, za katere menijo, da so ustrezni.

4. Ta metoda se evidentira in uporablja na podlagi splošnih računovodskih načel, ki veljajo v državi, v kateri je bil izdelek narejen.

5. Koristnik te poenostavitve lahko izda oziroma zaprosi za dokazilo o poreklu za tiste količine izdelkov, ki se lahko štejejo za izdelke s poreklom. Na zahtevo carinskega organa koristnik da izjavo o načinu vodenja izdelkov.

6. Carinski organi nadzorujejo uporabo dovoljenja in lahko dovoljenje kadar koli odvzamejo, če ga koristnik kakor koli nepravilno uporablja ali ne izpolnjuje katerega koli od pogojev, določenega v tem protokolu. “

V prvem stavku prvega odstavka 20. člena se za besedo “izvoznika” doda naslednje: »v nadaljevanju ‚pooblaščenega izvoznika’«.

28. člen se nadomesti s tem besedilom:

"28. člen

Zneski, izraženi v evrih

1. Za uporabo določb iz točke b) prvega odstavka 19. člena in tretjega odstavka 24. člena v primerih, ko se izda račun v drugi valuti kot evro, vsako leto vsaka od pogodbenic določi zneske v domači valuti te pogodbenice, ki ustrezajo zneskom, izraženim v evrih.

2. Za pošiljko se lahko uveljavljajo ugodnosti v skladu s točko b) prvega odstavka 19. člena ali s tretjim odstavkom 24. člena s sklicevanjem na valuto, v kateri se izda račun, glede na znesek, ki ga je določila ta država.

3. Zneski, ki jih je treba uporabiti v kateri koli dani nacionalni valuti, so protivrednosti v tisti nacionalni valuti, enaki zneskom, izraženim v evrih, po tečaju na prvi delovni dan v oktobru in se uporabljajo od 1. januarja naslednje leto. Zaradi izvajanja določb drugega odstavka tega člena pogodbenici ob uvozu priznavata ustrezne zneske, ki jih je notificirala določena država ali Evropska komisija.

4. Pogodbenica lahko znesek, ki ga dobi pri preračunu zneska, izraženega v evrih, v nacionalno valuto, zaokroži navzgor ali navzdol. Zaokroženi znesek se od zneska, ki se dobi pri preračunu, ne sme razlikovati za več kot 5%. Pogodbenica lahko obdrži nespremenjeno protivrednost v nacionalni valuti za znesek, izražen v evrih, če je ob letni uskladitvi iz tretjega odstavka pri zamenjavi tega zneska preračunana protivrednost v nacionalni valuti kakršno koli zaokrožitvijo večja za manj kot 15%. Protivrednost v nacionalni valuti lahko ostane nespremenjena, če bi se zaradi preračuna zmanjšala protivrednost v tej nacionalni valuti.

5. Skupni odbor na zahtevo ene od pogodbenic pregleda v evrih izražene zneske. Pri tem pregledu Skupni odbor upošteva zaželeno ohranjanje realnih učinkov zadevnih vrednostnih omejitev. V ta namen se lahko odloči za spremembo zneskov, izraženih v evrih.”

“ Article 18a

Accounting segregation

1. Where considerable cost or material difficulties arise in keeping separate stocks of originating and non-originating materials which are identical and interchangeable, the customs authorities may, at the written request of those concerned, authorise the so-called “accounting segregation” method to be used for managing such stocks.
    2. This method must be able to ensure that, for a specific reference-period, the number of products obtained which could be considered as originating is the same as that which would have been obtained if there had been physical segregation of the stocks.
    3. The customs authorities may grant such authorisation, subject to any conditions deemed appropriate.
    4. This method is recorded and applied on the basis of the general accounting principles applicable in the country where the product was manufactured.
    5. The beneficiary of this facilitation may issue or apply for proofs of origin, as the case may be, for the quantity of products which may be considered as originating. At the request of the customs authorities, the beneficiary shall provide a statement of how the quantities have been managed.
    6. The customs authorities shall monitor the use made of the authorisation and may withdraw it at any time whenever the beneficiary makes improper use of the authorisation in any manner whatsoever or fails to fulfil any of the other conditions laid down in this Protocol.”
    4. In Article 20, paragraph 1, first sentence, the following shall be inserted after ‘exporter’: »hereinafter referred to as “approved exporter”,«
    5. Article 28 shall be replaced by:

“Article 28

Amounts expressed in euro

1. For the application of the provisions of Article 19(1)(b) and Article 24(3) in cases where products are invoiced in a currency other than euro, amounts in the national currencies of the contracting Parties equivalent to the amounts expressed in euro shall be fixed annually by each of the contracting Parties concerned.
    2. A consignment shall benefit from the provisions of Article 19(1)(b) or Article 24(3) by reference to the currency in which the invoice is drawn up, according to the amount fixed by the country concerned.
    3. The amounts to be used in any given national currency shall be the equivalent in that currency of the amounts expressed in euro as at the first working day of October and shall apply from 1 January the following year. For the purposes of implementing the provisions of paragraph 2 on importation the contracting Parties shall recognize the relevant amounts notified by the country concerned or the European Commission.
    4. A contracting Party may round up or down the amount resulting from the conversion into its national currency of an amount expressed in euro. The rounded-off amount may not differ from the amount resulting from the conversion by more than 5 per cent. A contracting Party may retain unchanged its national currency equivalent of an amount expressed in euro if, at the time of the annual adjustment provided for in paragraph 3, the conversion of that amount, prior to any rounding-off, results in an increase of less that 15 per cent in the national currency equivalent. The national currency equivalent may be retained unchanged if the conversion would result in a decrease in that equivalent value.
    5. The amounts expressed in euro shall be reviewed by the Joint Committee at the request of any of the contracting Parties. When carrying out this review, the Joint Committee shall consider the desirability of preserving the effects of the limits concerned in real terms. For this purpose, it may decide to modify the amounts expressed in euro.”
    6. Annex II shall be amended as follows:
