- The revised PEM rules of origin will fully apply from January 1, 2026, ending the transition period with the old rules.
- Several contracting parties have not yet ratified or adapted their agreements to the revised PEM Convention, leading to a fragmented legal situation from 2026.
- This fragmentation will hinder the use of uniform rules of origin and the functioning of diagonal cumulation in the PEM zone.
- From January 1, 2026, diagonal cumulation will no longer be possible between certain groups (EFTA–AGADIR–EU–Turkey, CEFTA–EFTA–Turkey, CEFTA–EU–Turkey) unless further developments occur.
- PEM parties are urged to ratify the revised convention and adapt their agreements by December 31, 2025, to maintain the integrity of the system.
