GENERALIZED SYSTEM OF PREFERENCES
Notification by the European Communities
Addendum
The following documents were received from the European Communities on
24 September 2001.  The Community recalls that the information contained therein has already been
widely disseminated.
_______________
THE EU'S GENERALIZED SCHEME OF TARIFF PREFERENCES
AND THE "EVERYTHING BUT ARMS" INITIATIVE
Since 1971, the multilateral trading system provides special and more favorable treatment to
developing countries, and in particular to the least developed amongst them, the LDCs.  Classification
as LDC requires recognition by the United Nations that certain criteria are met.  At present,
49 developing countries belong to the category of LDCs.
At the Singapore Ministerial Conference in December 1996, World Trade Organization
(WTO) Members pledged to carry out an action plan to improve access to their markets for productsoriginating in LDCs.  In 1998, the Community st arted implementing the action plan by adopting
Council Regulation (EC) No. 602/98 which granted all LDCs tariff preferences similar to those
available under the Lomé Convention.  However, these preferential arrangements did not include
some 919 of the 10,500 tariff lines of the Community's tariff schedule.
At the Seattle Ministerial Conference in November 1999, the Community and Japan jointly
declared their intention to open their markets to essentially all LDC products.  Subsequently, the US
and Canada made similar declarations.  The Pa rtnership Agreement between the African Caribbean
and Pacific States and the European Community and its Member States, signed at Cotonou in
June 2000, endorsed the commitment to provide, at the latest by 2005, duty-free access for essentiallyall products from all LDCs.
However, the Community decided to go beyond these commitments.  On 26 February 2001,
the Council adopted Regulation (EC) 416/2001 – co mmonly referred to as the "EBA Regulation",
granting duty-free access to imports of all products from LDCs, except arms and munitions, withoutany quantitative restrictions.  At the LDC conference in Brussels in May 2001, agreement was
reached to work towards the objective of quota-free and duty-free market access for all LDC exports,
which, for the time being, only the Community has achieved.
The Community market uses to be the major destination for LDC exports.  In 1998, imports
from these countries amounted to 8,714 million Euro, which represents 56 per cent of their totalWT/COMTD/N/4/Add.2
Page 2
exports.  Imports were, of course, comparativ ely low where the Community market was highly
protected.  The benefit of EBA is likely to be particularly important in respect of those products.
The exception for arms is a traditional feature of the Community's scheme of generalized
tariff preferences and is not specific for trade with LDCs.  It has now become the only exception, asEBA covers all products, including even very sensitive agricultural products such as beef and other
meat, dairy products, fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, maize and other cereals, starch, oils,
processed sugar products, cocoa products, pasta, and alcoholic beverages.
Only imports of fresh bananas, rice and sugar are not fully liberalized immediately.  Duties on
those products will be gradually reduced until duty-free access will be granted for bananas in
January 2006, for sugar in July 2009 and for rice in September 2009.  In the meantime, there will beduty-free tariff quotas for rice and sugar.  These quotas will increase annually.
Certain provisions of the EBA regulation are meant to ensure that the benefits of EBA accrue
to LDCs.  The Commission thoroughly monitors imports  from those countries and verifies the respect
of the rules of origin.  Safeguard measures may be applied where imports cause serious difficulties toEU producers or serious disturbances on EU market s, in particular on those of rice, sugar and
bananas.  In 2005, the Commission will assess the benefit of EBA for LDCs and will examine
whether provisions on rules of origin, anti-fraud and safeguards are adequate.
The EBA Regulation foresees that the special arrangements for LDCs should be maintained
for an unlimited period of time and not be subject to the periodic renewal of the Community's scheme
of generalized preferences.  Therefore, the date of expiry of that scheme does not apply to EBA
provisions.WT/COMTD/N/4/Add.2

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) NO. 416/2001
OF 28 FEBRUARY 2001
Amending Regulation (EC) No. 2820/98 applying a multiannual scheme of generalized tariff
preferences for the period 1 July 1999 to 31 December 2001 so as to extend duty-free access
without any quantitative restrictions to produc ts originating in the least-developed countries
The Council of the European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular
Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas :
1. Article 6 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 2820/98 of 21 December 1998 applying a
multiannual scheme of generalized tariff preferences for the period 1 July 1999 to 31 December 20011
provides for more favourable tariff treatment for the least-developed countries.
2. The Community's multiannual scheme of generalized tariff preferences has to be reviewed
before the end of 2001 in order to decide what amendments are required for the last phase of the
ten-year period of the scheme up to 2004.
3. At the Singapore Ministerial Conference in  December 1996 the World Trade Organization
(WTO) Member countries pledged to carry out an action plan to improve access to their markets for
products originating in the least-developed countries.
4. On 2 June 1997 the Council, on the basis of a Commission communication of 16 April 1997,
adopted conclusions calling for the Singapore conclusions to be implemented by granting
least-developed countries not party to the Lomé C onvention preferences equivalent to those enjoyed
by signatories and, in the medium term, duty-free access for essentially all least-developed countryproducts.
5. Regulation (EC) No. 602/98
2 granted least-developed countries (LDCs) not party to the Lomé
Convention preferences equivalent to those enjoyed by signatories to the Convention.
6. Article 37(9) of the Partnership Agreement between the Members of the African, Caribbean
and Pacific States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other
part, signed at Cotonou (Benin) on 23 June 2000 and put into early application by Decision
No. 1/2000 of the ACP-EC Council of Ministers3, states that, by the year 2000, the Community will
start a process which, by the end of multilateral trade negotiations and at the latest 2005, will allowduty-free access for essentially all products from all LDCs, building on the level of the existing trade
provisions of the fourth ACP-EC Convention.
                                                     
1 OJ L 357, 30.12.1998, p.1.  Regulation as amended by Regulation (EC) No. 1763/1999 (OJ L 211,

3 OJ L 195, 1.8.2000, p.46.WT/COMTD/N/4/Add.2
Page 4
7. In the light of the real risk of the LDCs becoming increasingly marginalized in the world
economy, the Community must go even further than these undertakings and grant all products from
LDCs, except arms and munitions, duty-free access without quantitative restrictions immediately.
8. In the light of the fact that the arrangements for the common organization of the markets in
sugar, rice and bananas are currently being revised or are due to be revised, the Regulations regarding
these reforms will have to take account of duty-free access for the LDCs from the outset when they
establish new general import arrangements.
9. Provision should be made for free access for bananas through a process of progressive tariff
elimination starting on 1 January 2002 and which is to result in full liberalization on 1 January 2006,
which is the date envisaged for the entry into force of the rate of the common customs tariff for fresh
bananas established under the procedure provided for in Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade pursuant to Council Regula tion (EC) No. 216/2001 of 29 January 2001 amending
Regulation (EEC) No. 404/93 on the common organization of the market in bananas4.
10. Provisions should be made for free access for rice and sugar through a process of progressive
tariff elimination starting in 2006, when the current financial perspectives expire, and which is to
result in full liberalization in 2009.
In order to provide effective market access following the entry into force of this Regulation
and until full liberalization, duty-free tariff quotas should be opened for increasing quantities of riceand raw sugar originating in LDCs.  The initial qua ntities of these global tariff quotas for the LDCs
should be based on their best export levels to the Community in the recent past.  In addition, a
significant growth factor should be immediately applied and continue to be applied cumulatively
every year until full liberalization.  Therefore, the tariff quota for rice should be opened at a level of
2,517 tonnes (husked-rice equivalent), and the tariff quota for sugar shall be opened at a level of74,185 tonnes (white-sugar equivalent).  Imports of  sugar under the ACP-EC Sugar Protocol should
be excluded from the above calculations so as to uphold the viability of this protocol.
In order to ensure adequate management of the liberalization for sugar and rice, both the tariff
elimination and the tariff quotas should be applied on the basis of the respective marketing years.  The
detailed rules necessary for implementing the tariff quotas should be decided upon by the
Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 32 of Regulation (EC)No. 2820/98.
11. The special arrangements provided for in this Regulation with regard to market access for the
least-developed countries should be maintained for an unlimited period of time and not be subject to
the periodic renewal of the Community's scheme of generalized preferences.  Consequently, the dateof expiry of the Community's current scheme should not apply to those arrangements nor, to the
extent that they are applied in conjunction with them, to the other relevant provisions of Regulation
(EC) No. 2820/98.
12. Technical amendments are needed to define more closely the scope of the provisions on the
special drug prevention support measures in th e light of the changes relating to the LDCs.
13. It is necessary to add to the reasons for the possible provisional suspension of preferences,
allowing the Commission to react swiftly when the Community's financial interests are at stake,
massive increases in imports of products originating in the LDCs in relation to their usual levels ofproduction and export capacity.
