BILAG I
BERETNING FRA KOMMISSIONEN TIL RftDET
omforhandlingerne med Sydafrika ihenhold
tilartikel XXVIII iGATT vedrørende ændring
eller tilbagetrdcning aftoldindrømmelser
indeholdt iliste XVIII til denne overenskomst
1.Vedenrække notifikationer tilGATT (dehemmelige dokumenter nr.200 ,222 ,
233 ,234 ,235 ,236 ,239 ,240 ,241 ,248,252og253)gavSydafrika dekon­
traherende parter meddelelse om,atlandet havde tilhensigt atændre eller
tilbagetrække visse afdetoldindrømmelser ,der erindeholdt iliste
XVIII til GATT .
2.Iforbindelse medhver afdisse notifikationer kunne Fællesskabet gøre
forhandlingsrettigheder gældende (rettigheder somdenpart ,medhvilken
deroprindeligt blev forhandlet omdepågældende indrømmelser ,rettigheder
somhovedleverandør eller væsentlig leverandør ).Fællesskabet anmodede
derfor omogopnåede forhandlinger medhenblik påatfåtilstrækkelig
kompensation forden lidte skade .
3.Detilbud ,omkompensation ,somblev fremsat afdesydafrikanske myndighe­
derover forFællesskabet varførst utilstrækkelige ,både rent kvalitativt
(ubetydelige nedsættelser aftold iforbindelse medældre eller nyeindrøm­
melser ,eller nyetilbud omkonsolidering aftold forpositioner uden
større interesse ),ogkvantitativt (kundelvis anerkendelse af,atomfanget
afFællesskabets handel berettiger til ,atdetkanbetegnes somleverandør
medenvæsentlig interesse ,eller nyetilbud omsamhandel afutilstrækkeligt
omfang ).Deropstod betydelige vanskeligheder pågrund af,atdetvarnød­
vendigt atnåfrem tilettilbud ,som ienvisgrad toghøjde fordeskader ,
derblev påført hver afdeberørte medlemsstater .
4.Efter langvarige forhandlinger ,somblev yderligere forsinket af,atder
sideløbende blev afholdt multilaterale handelsforhandlinger inden forden
såkaldte Tokyo-runde ,foreslog Sydafrika enlang ra&ke forbedringer ,som
resulterede ietendeligt tilbud ,somFællesskabet harfundet acceptabelt .

NOTE
The South African Government has taken note ofthe importance
the European Communities attach toappropriate and prompt
action bythe Government ofSouth Africa tobring its current
import control measures into full conformity with its GATT
obi igations .
Inthis regard ,the South African Government wishes toconfirm
its policy toliberalise its quantitative restrictions
progressively as itsucceeds with its negotiations under
Article XXVIII ,which are aimed atsecuring the necessary
freedom togrant areasonable measure oftariff protection
onaselective basis todeserving South African industries .
Asthe European Communities are aware ,South Africa 'spolicy
ofselective tariff protection isbased solely onthe
recommendations of the South African Board ofTrade and
Industries .The granting ofprotection ,therefore ,only
takes place after the Board ofTrade and Industries has
examined the industry concerned and recommended the level
oftariff protection itconsiders sufficient and necessary
inthe circumstances pertaining tothat particular industry .
Itwill boappreciated that the handling ofalarge number
ofapplications ofthis nature isatime-consuming exercise .
Bearing inmind therefore ,the time element that might be
involved infinalising the applications received bythe
Board ofTrade and Industries ,the South African Government
undertakes toguarantee the free issuance ofimport licences -
a.with respect tonew concessions ,upon the application
oftariff changes resulting from the conclusion of
the Article XXVIII :5negotiations which are the
subject ofthe attached report ;and
b.with respect toconcessions which have been modified ,
aswell asthe concessions which are tobewithdrawn
from Schedule XVIII ,upon the application ofatariff
change inrespect ofeach individual item .
It isunderstood that this isaninterim arrangement until
the necessary domestic requirements toadd the items tothe
free list can bemet .It isthe intention ofSouth Africa
toexpedite the approval ofthese requirements .
This undertaking isgiven without ,prejudice toSouth Africa 's
future rights under the General Agreement .Itisunderstood
that the European Communities reserve their rights under the
General Agreement with respect toquantitative restrictions
not specifically covered bythis undertaking .
