- From January 1, 2026, Egypt and Morocco require proofs of origin for EU exports to explicitly include the wording “revised rules” due to updated Pan-Euro-Mediterranean (PEM) rules.
- This reference must be included in box 7 of the EUR.1 certificate or in the statement on origin for shipments to these countries, or customs may reject the proof, causing delays or extra costs.
- Egypt’s requirement is based on new national legislation; Morocco follows this approach through internal policy.
- As of February 11, 2026, Morocco clarified that origin proofs from the EU and Türkiye remain valid even without the “revised rules” mention, so the requirement now applies only to exports to Egypt.
