Revision of Pan-Euro-Med Rules of Origin in Textile and Clothing Industry
The revision in Pan-Euro-Med rules of origin in the textile and clothing sector aims to enhance the ennoblement and finishing sector, increase availability of finished fabrics locally, and support industry competitiveness. Findings indicate the importance of ennoblement - a process involving preparation, dyeing, and finishing, with significant value addition. Dyeing on woven fabrics, along with making-up, plays a crucial role in determining origin. The proposal also suggests considering dyeing on made-up garments to confer origin.

TEXTILE & CLOTHING Revision of Pan-Euro-Med rules of origin CURRENT RULES: Dyeing is not considered as a transformation in the current rules of list, which are as follows: For the Woven Fabrics : (5007, 5111 to 5113, 5208 to 5212, etc.) : Manufacture from single Yarn OR Printing accompanied by at least two preparatory or finishing operations For the Chapter 62 : Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted : Manufacture from Yarn OR (in some cases) Manufacture from unembroidered / uncoated fabric 1
TEXTILE & CLOTHING Revision of Pan-Euro-Med rules of origin CURRENT RULES Translation of the current rules in processing operations : For Woven Fabrics : Spinning + Weaving OR Printing + 2 operations For the Woven Garments : Weaving + Making-up 2
TEXTILE & CLOTHING Revision of Pan-Euro-Med rules of origin OBJECTIVES : Expand the ennoblement and finishing sector. Increase the availability of finished fabrics locally to support the competitiveness of the industry (time optimization, simplification of sourcing, improved reliability and flexibility, ...). FINDINGS : The largest share of fabrics need is satisfied by imports. The limited production of Woven fabrics mainly concerns small orders. The spinning industry as well as the weaving industry were deployed to countries with raw materials (cotton and wool). Asian producers produce huge quantities of fabrics and have, moreover, a local production of fibers and yarns. Knitting is a much lighter industry than the weaving. This activity may continue to grow in Tunisia. 3

TEXTILE & CLOTHING Revision of Pan-Euro-Med rules of origin FINDINGS : Important value added of Ennoblement (Preparation + Dyeing + Finishing) Synthesis of the collected examples : 5
TEXTILE & CLOTHING Revision of Pan-Euro-Med rules of origin FINDINGS : Important value added of Ennoblement : Preparing + Dyeing + Finishing : Added value of 58 to 82% Dyeing Starting greige fabrics is necessarily associated with operations of Preparation and Finishing RESULTS : Taken together, these findings converge on the consideration of dyeing on Woven fabrics as substantial operation, combined with making-up confer origin. The second proposal concerns the dyeing on made-up garments, which in combination with making-up confer origin. In this case it is proposed the following path: import greige fabrics, fabric preparation in Tunisia, making-up in Tunisia, Dyeing & Finishing on made-up garments in Tunisia. 6
