EINIGUNG MIT SUDAFRIKA
AUFGRUND DER VERHANDLUNGEN
GEMÄSS ARTIKEL XXVIII DES
GATT
(Mitteilung derKommission andenRat)
DieKommission legt dem Rat folgende Dokumente vor :

lungen mit SUdafrika Uber dieÄnderung oder Zurücknahme vonZugeständ­
nissen inderListe XVIII-SÜdafrika (Anhang I);
-denEntwurf der indenVerhandlungen zwischen SUdafrika undderGemein­
schaft erzielten Einigung (Anhang II);
-denEntwurf eines Beschlusses Uber dieAnnahme dieser Einigung (Anhang III).
Am8.Oktober 1981 hat der besondere Ausschuss nach Artikel 113 eine befür­
wortende Stellungnahme zumErgebnis dieser Verhandlungen abgegeben (Protokoll
des Rates Nr .9832 /81vom 9.10.1981 ).
DieKommission empfiehlt demRat ,dieam13.Oktober 1981 paraphierte

ANHANG I
BERICHT DER KOMMISSION ANDEN RAT
Uber diegemäss Artikel XXVTII
desGATT gefllhrten Verhandlungen
mit Südafrika Uber dieÄnderung
oder ZurUcknahme vonZugeständnissen
inder Liste XVIII -SUdafrika
1.Durch eine Reihe vonNotifizierungen andasGATT (geheime Dokumente Nr.
200 ,222 ,223 ,233 ,234 ,235 ,236 ,239 ,240 ,241 ,248 ,252und 253 )
hatte SUdafrika dieVertragsparteien Uber seine Absicht unterrichtet ,
einige Zugeständnisse inseiner Liste XVIII zuändern oder zurückzu­
nehmen .
2.DieGemeinschaft hatte zujeder dieser Notifizierungen Verhandlungs -
rechte geltend zumachen (alsVertragspartei ,mitderdasZugeständnis
ursprUnglich vereinbart worden war ,alsHauptlieferant oder alsLiefe­
rant mitwesentlichem Interesse ).Siehat folglich beantragt ,Uber die
Gewährung eines derentstandenen Schmälerung derVorteile angemessenen
Ausgleichs zuverhandeln ,und diesem Antrag iststattgegeben worden .
3.Dervondensüdafrikanischen Behörden angebotene Ausgleich warzunächst
sowohl qualitativ (zugeringe Zollsenkungen beialten oder neuen Zuge­
ständnissen bzw .wenig reizvolle Konsolidierungsangebote )alsauch nach
Handelsvolumen (lediglich partielle Anerkennung unseres Handelsvolumens
als Lieferant mit wesentlichem Interesse bzw .demHandelsvolumen nach
zuknapp bemessene neue Angebote )völlig unzureichend .Eine bedeutende
Schwierigkeit ergab sich daraus ,dass beidiesem Angebot bis zueinem
gewissen Grad die injedem einzelnen Mitgliedstaat verursachte
Schmälerung derVorteile berücksichtigt werden musste .
4.SUdafrika hat imVerlauf jahrelanger Verhandlungen ,dieüberdies durch
dieparallel dazu geführten multilateralen Handelsverhandlungen derso­
genannten Tokio-Punde verzögert wurden ,nach undnach zahlreiche Ver­
besserungen angeboten ,dieschliesslich zueinem vonderGemeinschaft
fürannehmbar erachteten endgültigen Angebot geführt haben .

DerAusschuss nach Artikel 113 ,der imVerlauf dieser Verhandlungen
regelmässig unterrichtet undkonsultiert wurde ,hat sich am8.Oktober
1981 fürdieerzielte Finigung ausgesprochen .
f*ie indiesen Verhandlungen erzielte Einigung istam13.Oktober 1981
paraphiert worden .

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 inLo full conformity with its GATT
obligations .
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 beappreciated 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 .
