EUROPEAN UNION PREFERENCES FOR ALBANIA, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA,  
KOSOVO*, MONTENEGRO, NORTH MACEDONIA, AND SERBIA  
REPORT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION UNDER THE DECISION OF 7 DECEMBER 20161 
COVERING THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY -31 DECEMBER 2020  
The following communication, dated 13 October 2021, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of the European Union.  
 
_______________  
 
 
1  INTRODUCTION  
1.1.  On 8 December 2000, the European Union (EU) was granted a waiver (WT/L/380) from its 
obligations und er paragraph 1 of Article I of the GATT 1994 to the extent necessary to permit the 
European Union to afford duty -free or preferential treatment to eligible products originating in the 
Western Balkans, without being required to extend the same duty -free or preferential treatment to 
like products of any other Member. This waiver was granted by the WTO General Council for the 
period through 31 December 2006.  
1.2.  With a view to maintaining the current system in place, the EU requested three extensions of 
the Wester n Balkans Waiver, which were adopted by the WTO General Council at its meetings on 
27-28 July 2006 (WT/L/654), on 30 November 2011 (WT/L/836) and on 7 December 2016 
(WT/L/1002) respectively. The waiver will expire on 31  December 2021 and covers products 
originating in the Republic of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, the Republic 
of North Macedonia and the Republic of Serbia.  
1.3.  Under the terms of this waiver, the EU is required to submit to the General Council an annual 
report on the preferences and duty -free treatment afforded to products from the partners listed in 
paragraph 1, including the extent to which such preferences and duty -free treatment differ from the 
EU's MFN and GSP concessions, with a view to facilitating the annual re view provided for in paragraph 
4 of Article IX of the WTO Agreement. This report covers the calendar year 2020.  
1.4.  The EU also requested a fourth extension of the Western Balkans Waiver, which was adopted 
by the WTO General Council at its meeting on 29  July 2 021 (WT/L/1114).  
1.5.  The EU trade regime vis-à-vis these partners is currently regulated by the granting of 
autonomous trade preferences and by the conclusion of Stabilization and Association Agreements.  
2  AUTONOMOUS TRADE PREFERENCES  
2.1.  Before 2000, the EU alread y had a liberal trade regime towards the Western Balkans, allowing 
more than 80% of regional exports to enter the European Union duty -free. On 1  December 2000 
the EU Council of Ministers extended the duty -free access to the EU market for products originati ng 
from this area even further.  
 
* This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244/1999 and 
the International Court of Justice Opinion on the Kosovo declaration.

  2.2.  The reason for such an extension was that the general level of imports from the Western Balkan 
partners remained very low, being less than one per cent of all EU imports. It was, therefore, 
considered appropriate to further improve the EU's autonomous trade preferences by removing all 
remaining tariff ceilings for industrial and agricultural products and by further improving access to 
the EU market for agricultural and fishery products.  
2.3.  Further market opening also accompanied  the enhanced process of political and economic 
stabilization in the region into which the European Union engaged following the end of the Balkan 
wars in the 1990s.  Fully liberalized access to the markets of the EU is also foreseen as part of the 
Stabiliz ation and Association Process. In addition to the autonomous trade preferences, the 
Stabilization and Association Agreements facilitate this liberalization.  
3  THE STABILIZATION AND ASSOCIATION AGREEMENTS  
3.1.  The Stabilization and Association Agreements are tools  which provide for the economic 
development and political stabilization of the partners in the region, and establish a close, long -term 
association between the EU and the Western Balkans.  
3.2.  The Stabilization and Association Agreement with North Macedonia ent ered into force on 1  April 
2004, the one with Albania on 1  April 2009, the one with Montenegro on 1  May 2010, the one with 
the Republic of Serbia on 1 September 2013, the one with Bosnia and Herzegovina on 1 June 2015 
and the one with Kosovo on 1 April 201 6.  
3.3.  These Stabilization and Association Agreements aim at creating a free trade area for goods 
among the parties over a transitional period in line with Article XXIV of the GATT 1994 and envisage 
a progressive and reciprocal liberalization of trade in serv ices. Associated disciplines in areas such 
as competition and state aid rules, intellectual property, public procurement, etc. are also envisaged.  
3.4.  All the agreements establish a free trade area with the concerned partner in line with the 
obligations forese en in Article XXIV of the GATT  1994 and in Article V of the GATS. At the same time 
they also allow the continuation of the autonomous preferences where these provide more 
favourable conditions for the export of the goods originating in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 
Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia.  
4  TRADE WITH THE PARTNERS OF THE WESTERN BALKANS  
4.1.   In the year 2020 EU imports from the Western Balkans concentrated primarily on machinery 
and transport equipment, miscellaneous manufactured artic les and manufactured goods classified 
chiefly by material.  
4.2.  Statistical annexes are provided to present a detailed description of the EU trade relations with 
the partners of the Western Balkans for the year 2020. The first annex describes the trade relation s 
with the partners of the Western Balkans as a whole, while the remaining annexes describe in detail 
the trade relations with each partner of the region.
