COUNCIL DECISION
of 30 November 2011
on the position to be taken by the European Union within the General Council of the World Trade Organization on the extension of the WTO waiver in order to implement the EU autonomous preferential trade regime for the Western Balkans
(2011/809/EU)

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:

In the absence of a waiver from the Union’s obligations under paragraph 1 of Article I of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994), the treatment provided for in the autonomous preferential trade regime would need to be extended to all other Members of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

(2)

It is appropriate, therefore, to establish the position to be taken by the Union within the WTO General Council concerning that request,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The position to be taken by the European Union within the General Council of the World Trade Organization is to approve the extension of the WTO waiver for the Western Balkans until 31 December 2016.

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
