EUROPEAN UNION PREFERENCES FOR PAKISTAN 
 
Waiver Decision of 14 February 2012
1 
 
 
 The General Council, 
  Conducting  the function of the Ministerial Conference in the interval between meetings 
pursuant to paragraph 2 of Article IV of the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade 
Organization (the "WTO Agreement"); 
 
 Having regard  to paragraphs 1 and 3 of Article IX  of the WTO Agreement, the Guiding 
Principles to Be Followed in Considering App lications for Waivers adopted on 1 November 1956
2, 
and the Understanding in Respect of Waivers of Obligations under the General Agreement on Tariffs 
and Trade 1994;  
 Taking note  of the request of the European Union, pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article IX of 
the WTO Agreement, for a waiver of its obligat ions under paragraph 1 of Article I and under  
Article XIII of the GATT 1994 to the extent n ecessary to permit the European Union to afford 
unlimited duty-free or other preferential tariff treatmen t to certain products originating in Pakistan as 
defined in the Annexes to this Decision, without be ing required to extend the same treatment to like 
products of any other Member; 
  Taking note  that the European Union requests the waiv er for a period of two years and that it 
reserves the right to request an extens ion of this duration by another year; 
  Considering  the dramatic social and economic situat ion as a consequence of the floods which 
affected extensive regions of Pakistan during th e months of July and August 2010, as well as the 
efforts made by the Members to foster economic development in developing countries such as Pakistan;   Considering  that the time-limited preferential trea tment the European Union envisages to 
afford to Pakistan is intended, as an emergency r esponse, to promote Pakistan's economic recovery in 
a manner consistent with the objectives of GATT 1994 and not to raise new barriers to the trade of 
other Members;   Considering  that these exceptional autonomous prefer ences respond to a unique situation and 
that it is in the very nature of a waiver to allo w for measures that should not be viewed as setting any 
precedent in the legal system of the WTO and in the practice of its Members; 
 
                                                      
1 Adopted in accordance with the Decision-Making Procedures under  Articles IX and XII of the 
WTO Agreement agreed by the General Council on 15 November 1995 (WT/L/93).

   Noting  that, in light of the foregoing, the exceptiona l circumstances justifying the waiver from 
paragraph 1 of Article I and from Article XIII of the GATT 1994 exist; 
 
Decides as follows:  
 
1. Subject to the conditions set out in this Decisi on, the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article I 
and the provisions of Article XIII of the GA TT 1994 shall be waived from 1 January 2012 until 
31 December 2013 to the extent necessary to permit the European Union to afford unlimited duty-free 
or other preferential tariff treatment to products orig inating in Pakistan, as defined in the Annexes to 
this Decision, without being required to extend th e same treatment to like products of any other 
Member.  
2. The European Union shall consult promptly  with any Member on the operation of its 
preferential tariff treatment in respect of Pakistan, as defined in the Annexes to this Decision, or on 
any other matter arising in respect of this Decisi on. Where a Member considers that its benefits under 
the GATT 1994 are or may be impaired unduly as a result of measures put in place by the European 
Union and covered by this Decision, the Eur opean Union shall examine the possibility of a 
satisfactory adjustment of the matter. 
3. This Decision does not affect Members' rights as set out in the Understanding in Respect of 
Waivers of Obligations under the Genera l Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994. 
4. The European Union shall report annually to the General Council on the preferential tariff 
treatment afforded to eligible products originating in Pakistan, as defined in the Annexes to this 
Decision, including the extent to which such trea tment is different from the European Union's MFN 
and GSP concessions, with a view to facilitating th e annual review provided for in paragraph 4 of 
Article IX of the WTO Agreement.
