COUNCILREGULATION(EC)No2501/2001
of10December 2001
applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences for the period
from1January2002to31December 2004
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, andin particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (
1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee (3),
Whereas:
(1)Since 1971, the Community has granted trade preferences to
developing countries, in the framework of its scheme of general-ised tariff preferences.
(2)The Community's common commercial policy must be consis-
tent with and consolidate the objectives of development policy,
in particular the eradication of poverty and the promotion ofsustainable development in the developing countries.
(3)A communication from the Commission to the Council of 1 June
1994 sets out the guidelines for the application of the scheme of
generalised tariff preferences for the period 1995 to 2004.
(4)Regulation (EC) No 2820/98(4) implements the scheme of
generalised tariff preferences until 31 December 2001. There-after, the scheme should continue to apply until 31 December
2004, in accordance with the guidelines.
(5)The scheme should incorporate the provisions of Regulation
(EC) No 416/2001 extending duty-free access without any quan-titative restrictions to products originating in the least developed
countries. The benefit of this arrangement should be granted to
all countries recognized and classified by the United Nations asleast developed countries.
(6)The special arrangements to combat drug production and traf-
ficking should be closely monitored.
(7)Preferences should be differentiated according to the sensitivity
of products. It would be sufficient to differentiate between twoproduct categories, non-sensitive and sensitive products.
(8)Tariff duties on non-sensitive products should continue to besuspended, while duties on sensitive products should enjoy atariff reduction.
(9)Such reduction should be sufficiently attractive in order to moti-vate traders to use the opportunities offered by the scheme. Asfar asad valorem duties are concerned, the reduction should
therefore be a flat rate of 3,5 percentage points of the mostfavoured nation (MFN) duty rate. Specific duties should bereduced by 30 %. Where duties specify a minimum duty, that
minimum duty should not apply.
(10)Where preferential duty rates, calculated in accordance with
Regulation (EC) 2820/98, provide a higher tariff reduction, theyshould continue to apply.2001R2501 — EN — 22.12.2003 — 002.001 — 2

No 416/2001 (OJ L 60, 1.3.2001, p. 43).
▼B
(11)Duties should be totally suspended where preferential treatment
results in ad valorem duties of 1 % or less or in specific duties
of EUR 2 or less.
(12)The provisions on the exclusion of beneficiary countries on
grounds of the degree of their development should be applied
once a year. However, countries should be excluded only wherethey meet the criteria for exclusion during three consecutiveyears, and they should be readmitted where they do not meetthose criteria during three consecutive years.
(13)During the first year of application of this Regulation, the coun-tries previously excluded should remain excluded.
(14)The provisions on graduation of sectors should be applied once ayear. However, sectors should be graduated only where theymeet the criteria for graduation during three consecutive years,and they should be readmitted where they do not meet those
criteria during three consecutive years.
(15)During the first year of application of this Regulation, the sectors
previously graduated should remain graduated.
(16)The tariff preferences under the special incentive arrangementsshould be as high as the preferences offered under the general
arrangements, thus doubling the latter.
(17)The special incentive arrangements should grant tariff prefer-
ences in all sectors that had been graduated, equivalent to the
preferences available under the general arrangements.
(18)The special incentive arrangements for the protection of labour
rights should require effective application of all standards
referred to in the International Labour Organisation (ILO)
Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
(19)The available assessments, comments, decisions, recommenda-tions and conclusions of the various supervisory bodies of theILO, including in particular Article 33 procedures should, serveas the point of departure for the examination of requests for thespecial incentive arrangements for the protection of labourrights, as well as for the investigation as to whether temporary
withdrawal is justified on the grounds of violations of ILO
Conventions.
(20)The general rules concerning proof of origin and methods of
administrative cooperation laid down in Commission Regulation
(EEC) No 2454/93 (1) and the rules concerning the customs debt,
in particular Article 220(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92(
2), apply to tariff preferences, including those granted under
the special incentive arrangements for the protection of labour
rights.
(21)The special incentive arrangements for the protection of the
environment should take into account new developments
concerning internationally agreed standards and certification
schemes.
(22)The reasons for temporary withdrawal should include serious
and systematic violation of any standards referred to in the ILO
Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
(23)Temporary withdrawal of all tariff preferences in respect ofimports of products originating in Myanmar should remain inforce.
(24)The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regula-tion should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for2001R2501 — EN — 22.12.2003 — 002.001 — 3

ANNEX II
1.Developmentindex
The development index refers to a country's level of industrial development. It
compares that level to the one of the European Union, using the following
formula:
{log[Yi/Yue]+log[Xi/Xue]}/2
where:
Yi= the beneficiary country's gross national product per capita,
Yue= the European Union's gross national product per capita,
Xi= the value of the beneficiary country's manufactured exports,
Xue= the value of the European Union's manufactured exports.
Manufactured exports are those of Standard International Trade Classification
(SITC) 5 to 8 less 68.
2.Specialisationindex
The specialisation index refers to the importance of a sector in the Community
imports from a beneficiary country. It is based on the ratio between that coun-
try's share in imports from all countries, of all products of the sector concerned,
whether included in the preferential arrangements or not, and its share in all
imports from all countries.
3.Thresholds
Development index Threshold for the Specialisation index

ment Report, for quarterly gross domestic product the IMF International
Financial Statistics, for manufactured exports the UN Comtrade statistics, and
for Community imports the Comext statistics.2001R2501 — EN — 22.12.2003 — 002.001 — 29
