Enforce an intra-regional supply chain
Each Party shall provide that production undertaken on a non-originating material in the
territory of one or more of the Parties by one or more producers may contribute toward
the originating content of a good for the purpose of determining its origin, regardless of
whether that production was sufficient to confer originating status to the material
itself.
