The Committee of Origin and Customs experts advised the Councils on matters concerning the origin rules in EFTA and the virtually identical rules int he free trade agreements. They often meet up six times a year. It considers all the origin and customs questions that should be included in the Association's work programme. It considers proposals suggested by individual EFTA countries or by the EC, for amendments to the specific rules for particular products to adapt the rules, when necessary, to changes in manufacturing processes.
