(1)

Since 1971, the Community has granted trade preferences to developing countries, in the framework of its scheme of generalised tariff preferences.

| (2) | The Community’s common commercial policy is to be consistent with and to consolidate the objectives of development policy, in particular the eradication of poverty and the promotion of sustainable development and good governance in the developing countries. It is to comply with WTO requirements, and in particular with the GATT ‘enabling clause’ of 1979 according to which WTO Members may accord differential and more favourable treatment to developing countries. |

The Communication of 7 July 2004 from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament and the European Economic and Social Committee, entitled ‘Developing countries, international trade and sustainable development: the function of the Community’s generalised system of preferences (GSP) for the 10-year period from 2006 to 2015’, sets out the guidelines for the application of the scheme of generalised tariff preferences for the period 2006 to 2015.

| (4) | Council Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 (2) applies the scheme of generalised tariff preferences until 31 December 2008. Thereafter, the scheme should continue to apply until 31 December 2011, in accordance with the guidelines. |

(4)

Council Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 (2) applies the scheme of generalised tariff preferences until 31 December 2008. Thereafter, the scheme should continue to apply until 31 December 2011, in accordance with the guidelines.

| (5) | The scheme of generalised tariff preferences (hereinafter referred to as the scheme) should consist of a general arrangement, granted to all beneficiary countries and territories, and two special arrangements taking account of the various development needs of countries in similar economic situations. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

The scheme of generalised tariff preferences (hereinafter referred to as the scheme) should consist of a general arrangement, granted to all beneficiary countries and territories, and two special arrangements taking account of the various development needs of countries in similar economic situations.

| (6) | The general arrangement should be granted to all those beneficiary countries which are not classified by the World Bank as high-income countries and which are not sufficiently diversified in their exports. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

The general arrangement should be granted to all those beneficiary countries which are not classified by the World Bank as high-income countries and which are not sufficiently diversified in their exports.

| (7) | The special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance is based on the integral concept of sustainable development, as recognised by international conventions and instruments such as the 1986 UN Declaration on the Right to Development, the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, the 1998 ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the 2000 UN Millennium Declaration, and the 2002 Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development. |

| (8) | Consequently, additional tariff preferences should be granted to those developing countries which, due to a lack of diversification and insufficient integration into the international trading system, are vulnerable while assuming the special burdens and responsibilities resulting from the ratification and effective implementation of core international conventions on human and labour rights, environmental protection and good governance. |

(8)

Consequently, additional tariff preferences should be granted to those developing countries which, due to a lack of diversification and insufficient integration into the international trading system, are vulnerable while assuming the special burdens and responsibilities resulting from the ratification and effective implementation of core international conventions on human and labour rights, environmental protection and good governance.

| (9) | These preferences should be designed to promote further economic growth and, thereby, to respond positively to the need for sustainable development. Under this arrangement, the ad valorem tariffs should therefore be suspended for the beneficiary countries concerned, as well as the specific duties, unless combined with an ad valorem duty. |

| (10) | Developing countries which fulfil the criteria for being eligible for the special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance should be able to benefit from the additional tariff preferences if, upon their application, the Commission confirms their qualification by 15 December 2008. The countries which already benefit from the special arrangement for sustainable development and good governance should renew their applications. |

The Commission should monitor the effective implementation of the international conventions in accordance with their respective mechanisms and should assess the relationship between the additional tariff preferences and the promotion of sustainable development.

| (12) | The special arrangement for the least-developed countries should continue to grant duty-free access to the Community market for products originating in the least-developed countries, as recognised and classified by the UN. For a country no longer classified by the UN as a least-developed country, a transitional period should be established, to alleviate any adverse effects caused by removal of the tariff preferences granted under this arrangement. |

| (13) | To ensure coherence with the market access provisions for sugar in the Economic Partnership Agreements, the duty free access for sugar should apply from 1 October 2009 and the tariff quota for products under subheading 1701 11 10 as opened under the special arrangement for the least developed countries should be extended until 30 September 2009 with a pro rata increase in its volume. In addition, for the period between 1 October 2009 and 30 September 2012 the importer of products under heading 1701 should undertake to purchase such products at a price not lower than a minimum price. |

(14)

For the general arrangement, there should be continued differentiation of the preferences between ‘non-sensitive’ products and ‘sensitive’ products, to take account of the situation of the sectors manufacturing the same products in the Community.

Tariff duties on non-sensitive products should continue to be suspended, while duties on sensitive products should enjoy a tariff reduction, in order to ensure a satisfactory utilisation rate while at the same time taking account of the situation of the corresponding Community industries.

| (16) | Such a tariff reduction should be sufficiently attractive, in order to motivate traders to make use of the opportunities offered by the scheme. Therefore, as far as the ad valorem duties are concerned, the general reduction should be by a flat rate of 3,5 percentage points from the ‘most favoured nation’ duty-rate, while such duties for textiles and textile goods should be reduced by 20 %. Specific duties should be reduced by 30 %. Where a minimum duty is specified, that minimum duty should not apply. |

(1)  This list includes countries which may have been suspended temporarily from the Community’s GSP or which may not have complied with the requirements for administrative cooperation (a precondition for goods to be granted the benefit of tariff preferences). The Commission or the competent authorities of the country concerned will provide an updated list.

ANNEX II

List of products included in the arrangements referred to in Article 1(2)(a) and (b)

Notwithstanding the rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, the description of the products is to be considered as indicative, the tariff preferences being determined by the CN codes. Where ‘ex’ CN codes are indicated, the tariff preferences are to be determined by the CN code and the description, together.

Entry of products with a CN code marked with an asterisk is subject to the conditions laid down in the relevant Community provisions.

The column ‘Sensitive/non-sensitive’ refers to the products included in the general arrangement (Article 6) and in the special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance (Article 7). These products are listed as being either NS (non-sensitive, for the purposes of Article 6(1)) or S (sensitive, for the purposes of Article 6(2)).

For reasons of simplification, the products are listed in groups. These may include products for which Common Customs Tariff duties are exempted or suspended.
