Accorso UE - USA sugli equipaggiamenti per l'industria navale
I prodotti che soddisfano i requisiti comunitari potranno essere venduti negli USA (e viceversa) senza nuovi test o certificazioni
1 marzo 2004
Il commissario europeo al Commercio, Pascal Lamy, l'US Trade Representative Robert B. Zoellick e l'ambasciatore dell'Irlanda negli Stati Uniti, Noel Fahey hanno siglato un accordo di mutuo riconoscimento tra l'Unione Europea e gli Stati Uniti relativo agli equipaggaimenti marittimi.

L'intesa - ha spiegato la Commissione Europea - faciliterà i commerci in questo settore: le attrezzature certificate per il mercato statunitense o europeo potranno circolare nell'altro mercato senza bisogno di sottostare a nuovi test o certificazioni.

"Con l'accordo di mutuo riconoscimento - ha detto Pascal Lamy - semplificheremo i commerci del settore, che rappresentano una quota pari ad un miliardo di euro dei traffici UE-USA". "Questo accordo - ha dichiarato Robert B. Zoellick - consente ai produttori statunitensi di risparmiare tempo e denaro in test aggiuntivi sui prodotti per il mercato europeo e inoltre promuove i nostri sforzi per migliorare la qualità delle normative internazionali sulla sicurezza marittima".

Inizialmente l'accordo riguarda 43 prodotti suddivisi in tre categorie principali. Secondo gli Stati Uniti i commerci di questi prodotti tra USA e UE ammontano attualmente a circa 150-200 milioni di dollari all'anno.

L'accordo entrerà in vigore nei prossimi mesi.

 

AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AND THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY
ON THE MUTUAL RECOGNITION OF CERTIFICATES OF CONFORMITY
FOR MARINE EQUIPMENT

 

PREAMBLE



The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the EUROPEAN COMMUNITY, hereinafter referred to as "the Parties",

CONSIDERING the traditional links of friendship that exist between the United States of America (US) and the European Community (EC);

DESIRING to facilitate bilateral trade in marine equipment and to increase the effectiveness of each Party's regulatory actions;

RECOGNISING the opportunities offered to regulators by the elimination of unnecessary duplication of their activities;

NOTING the shared commitment of the Parties to the work of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO);

CONSIDERING that the aim of the Parties is enhancing safety at sea and the prevention of marine pollution;

RECOGNISING, on the one hand, that mutual recognition agreements can positively contribute to greater international harmonisation of standards;

BEARING IN MIND, on the other hand, that the determination of equivalence must ensure that the fulfilment of the regulatory objectives of the Parties is fully respected and shall not lead to a lowering of their respective levels of safety and protection;

RECOGNISING that mutual recognition of certificates of conformity based on the equivalence of EC and US marine equipment regulations is an important means of enhancing market access between the Parties;

RECOGNISING that agreements providing for mutual recognition are of particular interest to small and medium-sized businesses in the US and the EC;

RECOGNISING that any mutual recognition also requires confidence in the continued reliability of the other Party's conformity assessments;

BEARING IN MIND that the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade, an agreement annexed to the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organisation (WTO), encourages WTO Members to enter into negotiations for the conclusion of agreements for the mutual recognition of results of each other's conformity assessment procedures, as well as to give positive consideration to accepting as equivalent the technical regulations of other Members, provided they are satisfied that these regulations adequately fulfil the objectives of their own regulations,

HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

 

 

CHAPTER 1

DEFINITIONS AND PURPOSE

 

ARTICLE 1

Definitions



1. The following terms and definitions shall apply to this Agreement:
  1. "Regulatory Authority" means a government agency or entity that has the authority to issue regulations regarding issues related to safety at sea and prevention of marine pollution, that exercises a legal right to control the use or sale of marine equipment within a Party's jurisdiction, and that may take enforcement action to ensure that products marketed within its jurisdiction comply with applicable legal requirements. The Parties' respective Regulatory Authorities are identified in Annex III.
  2. "Conformity Assessment Body" means a legal entity, whether a Regulatory Authority or another body, public or private, that has the authority to issue Certificates of Conformity under a Party's domestic laws and regulations. For purposes of this Agreement, the Parties' respective Conformity Assessment Bodies are those referred to in Article 6.
  3. "Technical regulations" comprise the mandatory product requirements, testing and performance standards and conformity assessment procedures laid down in the legislative, regulatory and administrative provisions of the Parties related to marine equipment, as well as any applicable guidelines for their application.
  4. "Certificate of Conformity" means the document or documents issued by a Conformity Assessment Body of a Party certifying that a product fulfils the relevant legislative, regulatory and administrative requirements of that Party. In the US, this is the Certificate of Type Approval issued by the United States Coast Guard. In the EC, they are the certificates, approvals and declarations provided for by Directive 96/98/EC.
  5. "Equivalence of technical regulations" means that the technical regulations of the Parties related to a specific product are sufficiently comparable to ensure that the objectives of each Party's respective regulations are fulfilled. Equivalence of technical regulations does not require that the respective technical regulations are identical.
  6. "International Instrument" means the relevant international conventions, resolutions, codes and circulars of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), and the relevant testing standards.


2. Other terms concerning conformity assessment used in this Agreement shall have the meaning given elsewhere in this Agreement or in the definitions contained in Guide 2 (1996 edition) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). In the event of an inconsistency between ISO/IEC Guide 2 and definitions in this Agreement, the definitions in this Agreement shall prevail.

 

ARTICLE 2

Purpose of the Agreement



1. This Agreement establishes the conditions under which the importing Party's Regulatory Authority shall accept the Certificates of Conformity issued by the exporting Party's Conformity Assessment Bodies in accordance with the technical regulations of the exporting Party, hereinafter referred to as "mutual recognition".

2. This Agreement also lays down a framework for regulatory cooperation with the objective of maintaining and furthering mutual recognition between the EC and the US of their respective regulatory requirements for marine equipment; of encouraging the improvement and evolution of regulatory requirements for the purpose of enhancing the safety at sea and the prevention of marine pollution; and ensuring a consistent application of this Agreement. This cooperation will take place fully respecting the Parties regulatory autonomy and their evolving policies and regulations as well as their shared commitment to the evolution of the relevant International Instruments.

3. This Agreement is intended to evolve as programs and policies of the Parties evolve. The Parties will review this Agreement periodically, in order to assess progress and identify potential enhancements to this Agreement as US and EC policies evolve over time. Particular attention will also be given to the evolution of the International Instruments.

1. When a Party introduces new technical regulations related to this Agreement, it shall do so on the basis of existing International Instruments, except when a Party considers the Instrument would be an ineffective or inappropriate means for fulfilment of its regulatory objectives.

2. Each Party shall notify the other Party of changes to technical regulations related to the subject matter of this Agreement at least 90 days before their entry into force. Where considerations of safety, health or environmental protection require more urgent action, a Party shall notify the other Party as soon as practicable.

3. The Parties and their Regulatory Authorities shall inform and consult with one another, as permitted by their respective laws and regulations, on:
  1. proposals to amend or introduce new technical regulations as laid down in their respective legislative, regulatory and administrative provisions referred in, or related to, provisions listed in Annexes I and II;
  2. timely incorporation of amended or new international instruments into their respective legislation, regulations and administrative provisions; and
  3. the renewal of existing and valid Certificates of Conformity when the renewal is required by amended or new legislative, regulatory and/or administrative provisions.


The Parties will provide each other the opportunity to comment on such proposals.

4. In the event of changes to the legislation, regulations, and administrative provisions referred to in Annex I and II, the Joint Committee shall consider whether or not the equivalence of the technical regulations with respect to products listed in Annex II has been maintained.

If it is agreed in the Joint Committee that equivalence is maintained, then the product shall be retained in Annex II.

If it is agreed in the Joint Committee that equivalence cannot be maintained, references to products and the relevant technical regulations for which equivalence cannot be maintained shall be removed from Annex II. The Joint Committee shall update Annex II by a decision to reflect the changes. Upon the discontinuance of mutual recognition, the Parties are no longer bound by the obligations referred to in Article 3 of this Agreement for the specific product. However, the importing Party shall continue to recognize previously issued Certificates of Conformity for products that have been placed on the market of that Party prior to the discontinuance of mutual recognition, unless a Regulatory Authority in the Party decides otherwise based on health, safety or environmental considerations or failure to satisfy other requirements within the scope of this Agreement.

If the Parties, within the Joint Committee, cannot agree on whether or not equivalence of their technical regulations with respect to a product listed in Annex II is maintained, then mutual recognition with respect to that product shall be suspended according to the terms of Article 15.

5. The Parties shall make available on the World Wide Web an up-to-date version of Annex II.

 

ARTICLE 11

Regulatory Cooperation



1. The Parties agree to cooperate in the IMO and other relevant international organisation such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), with a view to establishing and improving international rules for enhancing the safety at sea and the prevention of marine pollution.

2. The Parties will consider what technical work, data and information exchange, scientific and technological cooperation or other cooperative activities can be pursued between them with a view to improving the quality and level of their technical regulations applicable to marine equipment and making efficient use of resources for regulatory development.

3. For products that are not included in Annex II upon entry into force of this Agreement or for which equivalence of technical regulations has been discontinued or suspended, the Parties undertake to examine their respective technical regulations with a view to establishing, to the extent possible, mutual recognition. The Parties will set out a work program and time-table for alignment of their technical regulations, including the initiation of appropriate international standards work. The Parties shall endeavour to align their technical regulations to the extent possible on the basis of existing International Instruments in pursuit of the objective of their domestic legislation to enhance safety at sea and improve the prevention of marine pollution.

4. When the Parties have determined that equivalence can be established for a product and associated legislative, regulatory and administrative provisions, the Joint Committee shall take a decision to amend Annex II accordingly.

 

ARTICLE 12

Cooperation on Conformity Assessment



1. The Parties and their authorities responsible for conformity assessment issues shall consult as necessary to ensure the maintenance of confidence in conformity assessment procedures and Conformity Assessment Bodies. This can take the form of, for example, comparison of methods to verify and monitor the technical competence and ability of Conformity Assessment Bodies, and, with the consent of both Parties, joint participation in audits/inspections related to conformity assessment activities or other assessment of Conformity Assessment Bodies.

2. The Parties shall encourage their Conformity Assessment Bodies to take part in coordination and cooperation activities organised by the Parties either separately or jointly.

 

CHAPTER 5

SURVEILLANCE AND SAFEGUARD MEASURES

ARTICLE 13

Surveillance of Conformity Assessment Bodies



1. The Parties shall ensure that their Conformity Assessment Bodies are capable and remain capable of properly assessing conformity of products or processes, according to the applicable legislation, regulations and administrative provisions. In this regard, the Parties shall maintain, or cause to maintain, ongoing surveillance, as applicable, over their conformity assessment bodies and/or recognised laboratories, by means of regular audit or assessment.

2. In case a Party has objective reasons for contesting the technical competence of a Conformity Assessment Body of the other Party, it shall inform the other Party thereof. Such contestation shall be exercised when justified in an objective and reasoned manner. The other Party shall in a timely manner present information in order to refute the contestation or to correct the deficiencies which form the basis of the contestation. If necessary the matter shall be discussed in the Joint Committee. If agreement cannot be reached on the competency of the Conformity Body, the contesting Party may refuse to grant its marking and/or numbering to the contested Conformity Assessment Body and refuse to recognise the Certificates of Conformity issued by the contested Conformity Assessment Body.

 

ARTICLE 14

Market Surveillance



1. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the authority of a Regulatory Authority to take all appropriate and immediate measures whenever it ascertains that a product may:
  1. although correctly installed, maintained and used for its intended purpose, compromise the health and/or safety of the crew, the passengers or, where applicable, other persons, or adversely affect the marine environment;
  2. not meet the legislative, regulatory, or administrative provisions within the scope of the Agreement; or
  3. otherwise fail to satisfy a requirement within the scope of the Agreement.


Such measures may include withdrawing the products from the market, prohibiting their placement on the market, restricting their free movement, initiating a product recall, and preventing the recurrence of such problems, including through a prohibition on imports. If the Regulatory Authority takes such action, it shall inform the other Party no later than fifteen days after taking such action, providing its reasons for such action.

2. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Parties from removing products from the market that do not in fact conform to a Party's technical regulations.

3. The Parties agree that any applicable border inspections and checks of products which have been certified, labelled or marked as conforming with the importing Party's requirements specified in Annex I shall be completed as expeditiously as possible. With regard to any inspections related to internal movement within their respective territories, the Parties agree that these shall be completed in no less a favourable manner than for like domestic products.

 

ARTICLE 15

Suspending Mutual Recognition



1. In case a Party considers that equivalence of technical regulations with respect to one or more products listed in Annex II is not being or cannot be maintained, it shall inform the other Party thereof and give the objective reasons for this. Any contestation of equivalence shall be discussed in the Joint Committee. If no decision is reached by the Joint Committee within 60 days of the referral to it the mutual recognition obligation with respect to such products shall be suspended by one or both Parties. The suspension shall remain in effect until agreement has been reached by the Joint Committee.

2. The Joint Committee shall update Annex II by a decision to reflect the suspension of mutual recognition for the products in question. The Parties agree to cooperate according to the terms of Article 11 in view of establishing equivalence again, to the extent possible.

3. Upon suspension of mutual recognition of technical regulations referred to in Annex II the Parties are no longer bound by the obligations referred to in Article 3 of this Agreement for the specific product. However, the importing Party shall continue to recognize previously issued certificates of conformity for products that have been placed on the market of that Party prior to the suspension of mutual recognition, unless a Regulatory Authority in the Party decides otherwise based on health, safety or environmental considerations or failure to satisfy other requirements within the scope of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 16

Alert System



The Parties will put into place a two-way alert system between their Regulatory Authorities in order to inform each other of products that have been found not to comply with applicable technical regulations or can pose an imminent danger to health, safety or the environment.

 

CHAPTER 6

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

ARTICLE 17

2. Without prejudice to paragraph 1, this Agreement applies to ships entitled to fly the flag of either Party, or one of the Parties' Member States, operating in international voyages.

 

ARTICLE 20

Agreements with other Countries



1. Except where there is written agreement between the Parties, obligations contained in mutual recognition agreements concluded by either Party with a party not a signatory to this Agreement (a third party) shall have no force and effect with regard to the other Party in terms of acceptance of the results of conformity assessment procedures in the third party.

2. In view of furthering trade facilitation in marine equipment with other countries, the EC and the US undertake to examine the possibility of establishing a multilateral agreement on the subject matter covered by this Agreement with other interested countries.
