The Union of Comoros joined the ESA states in January 2019 by ratifying the interim EPA.<\/p><p>Chapter II of the EPA covers trade in goods. The Agreement aims to provide full duty free and quota free market access into the EU for goods originating in the ESA States on a secure, long term and predictable basis. It also aims to promote trade between the parties and export led growth to enable the integration of the ESA economies into the global economy; to progressively and gradually liberalize the ESA goods market as established by the Agreement; and to preserve and improve market access conditions to ensure that all ESA States are better and not worse off.<\/p><p>The Interim Agreement establishing a framework for an Economic Partnership Agreement between the Eastern and Southern Africa States, on the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, on the other part can be downloaded by clicking\u00a0<a class=\"file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/interim-economic-partnership-agreement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"d6782f82-98fc-49dd-9dbe-024a9c829b48\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17296b62 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"17296b62\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-3881\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-3881\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Rules of Origin<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-3881\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-3881\"><p>The Rules of Origin under the interim EPA are product-wise and can either be one of the following criteria:<\/p><ul><li>Wholly Obtained<\/li><li>Change in Tariff Heading\u00a0<\/li><li>Value of Non-Originating materials<\/li><li>Product Specific Processes<\/li><\/ul><p>The Rules of Origin for exporting to the European Union on a duty-free basis can be downloaded by clicking on:\u00a0<a class=\"file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Annex-II-to-Protocol-1-List-of-working-or-processing-required-to-be-carried-on-non-originating-materials.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"6482bae3-197b-43bf-a736-5cadc6eecae7\">Annex II to Protocol 1: List of working or processing required to be carried on non-originating materials in order that the product manufactured can obtain originating status<\/a><\/p><p>The interim EPA also provides for more flexible rules for some products in the agro industrial sector.

The Alliance is based solely on the contract between the Parties. It is sometimes also called a contractual joint venture. Each contractual Alliance or collaboration is different. This Model Contract provides a series or a \u201cmenu\u201d of possibilities depending on the purpose of the Alliance.
