derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 in respect of the
definition of the concept of originating products used for thepurposes of the scheme of generalised preferences to take accountof the special situation of Cambodia regarding certain exports of
textilestotheCommunity
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October
1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(1), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 955/1999 of the European Parliament and of
the Council(2), and in particular Article 249 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July
1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regu-lation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs
Code(
3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/1999(4), and in
particular Article 76 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)By Council Regulation (EC) No 2820/98 of 21 December 1998
applying a multiannual scheme of generalised tariff preferencesfor the period 1 July 1999 to 31 December 2001(
5), as last
amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1310/2000(6), the
Community gave such preferences to Cambodia.
(2)Articles 67 to 97 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 establish the
definition of the concept of originating products to be used for
the purposes of generalised tariff preferences. Article 76 of that
Regulation provides, however, for derogations to those provi-sions in favour of least-developed GSP-beneficiary countrieswhich submit an appropriate request to that effect to theCommunity.
(3)By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1538/1999(7), Cambodia
obtained such a derogation for certain textiles, for the periodfrom 15 July 1999 to 14 July 2000.
(4)The request submitted by Cambodia satisfies the requirements ofArticle 76 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. ►
C1In particular,
the introduction ◄of quantitative conditions (on an annual
basis) reflecting the Community market's capacity to absorb theCambodian products, Cambodia's export-capacity and actualrecorded trade flows, is such as to prevent injury to the corre-sponding branches of Community industry. The derogation
should be adapted, however, with reference to the economic
needs.
(5)In order to encourage regional cooperation among beneficiary
countries, it is desirable to provide that the raw materials to be
used in Cambodia in the context of this derogation should origi-nate in countries belonging to the Association of South-EastAsian Nations (ASEAN) (except Myanmar), to the South AsianAssociation for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) or to the ACP-
EC PartnershipAgreement.
(6)The open and effective administration of these measures should
be ensured by applying the relevant provisions, for the manage-2000R1614 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 001.001 — 2
