AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE REPUBLIC OF LATVIA AND THE REPUBLIC OF HUNGARY

on Amendments to the Protocol 3 on Rules of Origin to the

FREE TRADE AGREEMENT BETWEEN

THE REPUBLIC OF LATVIA

AND

THE REPUBLIC OF HUNGARY

The Republic of Latvia (hereinafter called Latvia) and Republic of Hungary (hereinafter called Hungary),

Having regard to the Free Trade Agreement between the Republic of Latvia, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part, signed in Budapest on 10 June 1999,

Whereas the definition of the term "originating products" needs to be amended to ensure the proper operation of the extended system of cumulation which permits the use of materials originating in the European Community, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, Turkey, the European Economic Area (hereinafter referred to as the EEA), Iceland, Norway and Switzerland;

Whereas it would seem advisable to revise the Articles concerning the amounts in order to fully take into consideration the entry into force of the euro;

Whereas, to take account of changes in processing techniques and shortages of certain raw materials, some corrections must be made to the list of working and processing requirements which non-originating materials have to fulfil to qualify for originating status,

Likumprojekta

Par Latvijas Republikas un Ungārijas Republikas līgumu

“Par izmaiņām Latvijas Republikas un Ungārijas Republikas brīvās tirdzniecības līguma 3. Protokolā”

ANOTĀCIJA

Jautājums

Iesniedzēja iesniegtā informācija
  1. Kādēļ normatīvais akts ir vajadzīgs:
  1. pašreizējā situācija – jāpamato, kādēļ neapmierina spēkā esošais tiesiskais regulējums,
  2. normatīvā akta koncepcija – jāpaskaidro, kāpēc šīs normatīvais akts nepieciešams.

 

ES Komisija ir pieņēmusi lēmumu ieviest no 2000. gada 1. janvāra grozījumus preču izcelsmes noteikumos. Šīs izmaiņas tiek veiktas sakarā ar Eiro (EUR) ieviešanu, kā arī sakarā ar paplašinātās kumulācijas sistēmas ieviešanu starp ES, EBTA valstīm un ES asociētajām valstīm. Sakarā ar to, likumprojekts paredz izmainīt spēkā esošos preču izcelsmes noteikumus Latvijas Republikas un Ungārijas Republikas brīvās tirdzniecības līguma 3. Protokolā par preču izcelsmi.
  1. Kāda var būt normatīvā akta iespējamā ietekme uz tautsaimniecības attīstību:
  1. tautsaimniecības konkurētspēju,
  2. eksporta attīstību.

 

 

Likumprojektā paredzēto grozījumu pieņemšanas rezultātā Latvijas ražotājiem un eksportētājiem netiktu liegta ieeja Ungārijas Republikas tirgū, tiktu veicināta Latvijas integrācija Eiropas brīvās tirdzniecības sistēmā, kas pozitīvi ietekmētu Latvijas tautsaimniecības konkurētspēju un eksporta attīstību.
  1. Kāda var būt normatīvā akta iespējamā ietekme uz valsts budžetu?

Likumprojekts šo jautājumu neskar.
  • Kāda var būt normatīvā akta iespējamā ietekme uz spēkā esošo tiesību normu sistēmu un vai nepieciešami grozījumi citos normatīvajos aktos?
    		•

    Likumprojekts neietekmēs spēkā esošo tiesību normu sistēmu, nav nepieciešami grozījumi esošajos normatīvajos aktos.

     

     

  • Vai tiesību akta projekts atbilst Latvijas starptautiskajām saistībām?
    		•

    Likumprojekts izstrādāts pamatojoties uz Eiropas komisijas 1999. gada 14. septembra lēmuma projektu 99/0186 COM (1999) 423 par grozījumiem Eiropas līguma starp Eiropas Kopienas valstīm un Latvijas Republiku B Protokolā par preču izcelsmi Noteikumu projektā tiek ievērotas arī saistības brīvās tirdzniecības nodrošināšanā saskaņā ar Pasaules tirdzniecības organizācijas prasībām.
  • Kā tiks nodrošināta normatīvā akta izpilde?

    • Preču izcelsmes noteikumu izpildi nodrošina Valsts ieņēmumu dienesta Muitas pārvalde, kas veic nepieciešamos grozījumus instrukcijās muitas dienestam.
