30According to that system, traders wishing to benefit from preferential customs arrangements are required to show to the competent authorities that their goods are, by reason of their origin, entitled to be imported into the European Community exempt from customs duties. As Article 6(1) of Annex II provides, evidence of products' originating status is supplied by an EUR.1 certificate. The main purpose of the subsequent verification procedure is to check whether the statement of origin in a certificate which has been issued is correct (Huygen, cited above, paragraph 16).
