(7a) The excellence craft and industrial SME and their satellite industries in the Member States of the Union is suffering ever increasing economic damage because of the lack of clear and transparent indication of the origin of products and the non-traceability of production processes.

(10) The European Community’s non- preferential rules of origin aredrawing up of European rules on origin marking is even more vital in the case of composite products and manufacturing processes where citizens and consumers are entitled to be clearly informed of the origin of individual materials used in the product and the locations where the individual production stages have been carried out. An effective and clearly defined legal standard needs to be established for identifying the country of origin in the case of composite products and materials used in manufacturing processes. The non- preferential rules of origin laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code1 and its implementing provisions in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisiondetailed rules for the implementapplication of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code. It is preferable to rely on these rules of origin to2 are insufficient for determineing the actual origin of imported goods for the purpose of this regulation. Using a concept with which trade operators and administrations are well acquainted should ease its introduction and implementation. Non-preferential rules of origin should be applied for all non- preferential commproducts in the light of developments in commercial processes for obtaining and processing matercial policy purposes. The duplication of declarations and documentation should avoideds. __________ 1 OJ L 302, 19.1.1992, p. 1. 2 OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 1.
