COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2820/98
of 21 December 1998
applying a multiannual scheme of generalised tariff preferences for
the period 1 July 1999 to 31 December 2001
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and
in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
(1) Whereas, in accordance with its offer made within the context of
the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
(Unctad), the European Community opened generalised tariff
preferences, commencing in 1971, in respect of certain agricul-
tural and industrial products from developing countries; whereas
the initial 10-year period of application of the system of
preferences ended on 31 December 1980; whereas a second
10-year period ended on 31 December 1990; whereas the scheme
was kept in being, unchanged, until 31 December 1994 when the
Community made a new 10-year offer (1995-2004);
(2) Whereas the positive role played by the system in the past in
improving access for the developing countries to the markets of
preference-giving countries is accepted and justifies its continued
existence for a time, in step with other priority measures,
including the multilateral liberalisation of trade;
(3) Whereas in a communication to the Council dated 1 June 1994 the
Commission set out its recommendations for guidelines for a
further 10-year period of application of its scheme of generalised
preferences for the period 1995-2004;
(4) Whereas these ten-year guidelines were confirmed in 1995 by the
adoption of the first scheme for the 10-year period, opened by
Council Regulation (EC) No 3281/94 of 19 December 1994
applying a four-year scheme of generalised tariff preferences
(1995-1998) in respect of certain industrial products originating in
developing countries (2) and Council Regulation (EC) No 1256/96
of 20 June 1996 applying multiannual schemes of generalised
tariff preferences from 1 July 1996 to 30 June 1999 in respect of
certain agricultural products originating in developing coun-
tries (3);
(5) Whereas the Treaty on European Union has lent a fresh impetus to
Community development policy as an aspect of the Union’ s
external policy, by setting a priority objective to the sustainable
economic and social development of the developing countries and
their smooth and gradual integration into the world economy;
(6) Whereas the Community scheme of generalised preferences
should therefore continue in its development-oriented approach,
focusing in priority on the countries which have most need of it, i.
e. the poorest countries; whereas the scheme should be
complementary to World Trade Organisation (WTO) instruments
and should foster the integration of developing countries into the
world economy and the multilateral trading system; whereas the
giving of preferences should accordingly be seen as a transitional
measure, to be used as needed and phased out when the need is
considered no longer to exist;!B

(7) Whereas the Community scheme of generalised tariff preferences
must continue to aim at a level of liberalisation at which the
impact of the preferential margin on the potential volume of
preferential trade is neutral overall compared with the previous
schemes, without prejudice to special incentive arrangements;
(8) Whereas the Community scheme of generalised tariff preferences
must also take account of certain sectors or products which are
sensitive for Community industry and agriculture; whereas
sensitive sectors should continue to be protected against import
surges by beans of a dual mechanism involving a modulation of
preferential tariff margins coupled with an emergency safeguard
clause;
(9) Whereas in order to improve access to the Community market and
increase the actual take-up preferences by moderately developed
or less-developed countries, the system of graduation should
continue in being;
(10) Whereas sector/country graduation combines a development
criterion, expressed as a development index reflecting a country’ s
per capita income and the level of its manufactured exports as
compared with those of the Community, with a measurement of
relative specialisation expressed as a specialisation index based on
the ratio of the beneficiary country’ s share of total Community
imports in general to its share of total Community imports in a
given sector; whereas combined application of these two criteria
should make it possible to adjust the crude results of the
specialisation index, in terms of the sectors to be excluded, in line
with the level of development;
(11) Whereas the Community may review the results of the graduation
mechanism before the end of 1999 in the light of changes in the
world trade and investment climate;
(12) Whereas the sector/country graduation system should also
continue to apply to beneficiary countries whose exports of
products covered by the generalised system of preferences (GSP)
in a given sector exceeded 25 % of all beneficiaries’ exports of
those products in that sector in the statistical reference year of the
previous scheme, irrespective of their level of development;
(13) Whereas countries whose exports to the Community of products
covered by the GSP in a given sector did not exceed 2 % of all
beneficiary countries’ exports to the Community in that sector in
the statistical reference year of the previous scheme should remain
exempt from the graduation system;
(14) Whereas countries and territories whose per capita income is
higher than that of a Member State of the Community and whose
development index is higher than −1 should continue to be
excluded from the scheme;
(15) Whereas at the Singapore ministerial conference in December
1996 the WTO member countries pledged to carry out an action
plan to improve access to their markets for products originating in
the least-developed countries;
(16) Whereas, on the basis of a Commission communication of 16
April 1997 and the Council conclusions of 2 June 1997, Council
Regulation (EC) No 602/98 (1) granted least-developed countries
not party to the Lomé Convention preferences equivalent to those
enjoyed by signatories;
(17) Whereas countries undertaking effective programmes to combat
drug production and trafficking should remain entitled to the more
favourable treatment granted them under the previous scheme;
whereas the countries concerned will therefore continue to enjoy
duty-free access for industrial and agricultural products provided
they continue their efforts to combat drugs; whereas the above!B
(1) OJ L 80, 18.3.1998, p. 1.1998R2820 — EN — 01.01.1999 — 000.001 — 3
treatment should be extended to industrial products from the
Central American Common Market countries and Panama;
(18) Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 1154/98 (1) implemented
the special incentive arrangements concerning labour rights and
environmental protection provided for in Articles 7 and 8 of
Regulations (EC) No 3281/94 and (EC) No 1256/96;
(19) Whereas the special incentive arrangements should be available to
countries which are beneficiaries of the general scheme, even in
sectors where they may be subject to the graduation mechanism
but not in those subject to the clause in Article 5(1) of Regulation
(EC) No 3281/94 and (EC) No 1256/96, as these are excluded for
reasons of competitive capacity irrespective of the level of
development of the country concerned;
(20) Whereas the incentives for labour rights may be granted only to
countries which request them in writing and provide proof that
they apply legislation incorporating the substance of the standards
laid down in ILO Conventions No 87 and No 98 concerning the
application of the principles of the right to organise and to bargain
collectively and ILO convention No 138 concerning the minimum
age for admission to employment;
(21) Whereas the incentives for labour rights should be confined to
countries, or in certain cases, to production sectors that have
actually taken steps to comply with the ILO Conventions in
question; whereas provision must therefore be made for the
incentives to apply to certain sectors but not to others;
(22) Whereas the incentives for environmental protection may be
granted only to countries that request them and provide proof that
they apply legislation incorporating the substance of the standards
of the International Tropical Timber Organisation;
(23) Whereas requests for application of the social and environmental
incentives must be subject to a publication procedure enabling
interested parties to make their views known; whereas the
decision on whether to grant this treatment must be taken after
the Commission has examined the requests closely and the
Generalised Preferences Committee has delivered a favourable
opinion;
(24) Whereas operation of the incentive arrangements for labour rights
is contingent on certification by the authorities of the beneficiary
countries of product conformity with the abovementioned
standards and on the application of administrative cooperation
procedures similar to those used to verify the origin of goods;
(25) Whereas for the purposes of certification and administrative
cooperation procedures, the relevant provisions of Council
Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down
provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC)
No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the community
Customs Code (2) should be applied; whereas, however, special
procedures should be provided in order to safeguard the legitimate
interests of importers using the special incentive arrangements;
(26) Whereas if the incentives are to be fully effective the additional
preferential margin must be attractive; whereas the margins
specified in Regulation (EC) No 1154/98 should accordingly
continue to apply;
(27) Whereas the international criteria for the preservation of tropical
forests cannot for the time being be used to monitor logging
operations; whereas at this stage it is preferable for the purposes
of the environmental incentives to vet countries thoroughly in
advance, without prejudice to subsequent use of ex post verifi-
cation as soon as conditions permit; whereas the additional!B

(2) OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC)
No 1427/97 (ET L 196, 24.7.1997, p. 31).1998R2820 — EN — 01.01.1999 — 000.001 — 4
preferential margins available should be the same as those adopted
in the social field;
(28) Whereas, however, owing to the great sensitivity of the products
referred to in Part 1 of Annex I to this Regulation, the further
reduction in duty which may be applied to these products under
the special incentive arrangements should be limited to 40 %;
(29) Whereas in certain circumstances it may be appropriate to
withdraw temporarily all or part of a country’ s entitlement under
the special incentive arrangements for instance where beneficiary
states fail to honour their commitments;
(30) Whereas in certain circumstances it may be appropriate to
withdraw temporarily some or all of a country’ s preferential
entitlement; whereas such circumstances include any form of
forced labour, exports of goods made by prison labour, inadequate
controls on the export or transit of drugs or on money laundering,
legislation discriminating against the Community, failure to apply
the administrative cooperation methods necessary for the scheme
to function properly, failure to comply with obligations entered
into in the Uruguay Round to meet agreed market-access
objectives, or failure to comply with certain international
conventions concerning the conservation and management of
fishery resources;
(31) Whereas temporary withdrawal of entitlement must be the
culmination of a procedure which gives all interested parties an
opportunity to state their views;
(32) Whereas the Community must e able to act swiftly against third
countries when its financial interests are damaged as a result of
fraud, serious and repeated irregularities or a manifest lack of
administrative cooperation in such countries; whereas having
notified the Member States and the operators concerned of its
reasonable doubts, the Commission should be able to suspend
certain preferences provisionally on the basis of sufficient
evidence;
(33) Whereas at the end of that procedure the decision on temporary
withdrawal as defined above should be taken in the context of
overall relations with the beneficiary country concerned; whereas
the Community interest may in some cases be better served by
having the Council discuss that context, which is likely to include
aspects unrelated to trade; whereas the power to decide on the
withdrawal of some or all of a country’ s preferential entitlement
should therefore lie with the Council;
(34) Whereas the temporary withdrawal of all tariff preferences in
respect of industrial and agricultural products originating in
Myanmar should remain in force in accordance with the
conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 552/97 (1), on
account of the use of forced labour there;
(35) Whereas it would be illogical to accord preferences in respect of
products subject to anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures unless
such measures reflected the impact of the preferential arrange-
ments;
(36) Whereas the preferential rates of duty to be applied under this
Regulation should normally be calculated on the basis of the
conventional rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff for the
products concerned; whereas they should, however, be calculated
from the autonomous rate of duty where no conventional rate is
given for the products concerned or where the autonomous rate is
lower than the conventional rate; whereas it is unnecessary to
include in the coverage of this Regulation products for which the
Common Customs Tariff duty is free; whereas the calculation
must in no case be based on duties applied under conventional or
autonomous tariff quotas;!B
(1) OJ L 85, 27.3.1997, p. 8.1998R2820 — EN — 01.01.1999 — 000.001 — 5
(37) Whereas the same methods of calculation should apply to ad
valorem rates of duty as well as to the treatment of minimum and
maximum duties provided in the Common Customs Tariff;
whereas this reduction of duties does not, as a general rule, affect
the collection of specific duties added to ad valorem duties;
(38) Whereas the current scheme for agricultural products as set out in
Regulation (EC) No 1256/96 should be applied until its due expiry
date, that is to say 30 June 1999,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1

Article 11
1. Without prejudice to the following Articles, the reductions specified
in Article 10 shall apply to products originating in the beneficiary
countries listed in Annex III on condition that the authorities of those
countries have applied to the Commission in writing to take advantage of
the special arrangements for their originating products, giving details of:
— their domestic legislation incorporating the substance of the
standards laid down in ILO Conventions No 87 and No 98
concerning application of the principles of the right to organise
and to bargain collectively and Convention No 138 concerning the
minimum age of admission to employment; the full text of such
legislation must be attached, together with an official translation into
one of the Community languages,
— the measures taken to apply and monitor these provisions effectively,
any sectoral restrictions on their application, any breaches observed
and a breakdown of such breaches by production sector,
— a commitment by the government of the country in question to take
full responsibility for monitoring application of the special
arrangements and the relevant administrative cooperation pro-
cedures.
2. The Commission shall publish a notice in the Official Journal of the
European Communities , announcing that such a request has been made
by a beneficiary country and stating that any relevant information
concerning the request may be sent to the Commission by any interested
natural or legal person; it shall specify the period within which interested
parties may make known their views.
Article 12
1. The Commission shall examine the requests submitted by the
beneficiary countries and, depending on the content, may put any further
questions which it considers relevant.
2. The Commission shall seek whatever information it considers
necessary and may check this information where appropriate with the
persons referred to in Article 11(2) or any other natural or legal person.
3. The Commission may carry out checks in requesting beneficiary
countries, and in cooperation with them, to verify all or part of the
information gathered. The Commission shall invite the authorities of
such beneficiary countries to cooperate in these investigations. The
Commission may be assisted in this task by the Member States.
4. The Commission shall complete the examination of a request within
a year of the date of receipt. It may extend this deadline if necessary
informing the Committee referred to in Article 31.
5. The Commission shall submit the finding of its examination of the
Committee referred to in Article 31.!B1998R2820 — EN — 01.01.1999 — 000.001 — 9
Article 13
1. The Commission shall decide, in accordance with the procedure laid
down in Article 32, either to grant the special incentive arrangements to
products originating in the requesting country on condition that the
monitoring and administrative cooperation arrangements defined in the
following Articles of this Title are observed or, if it considers that the
requesting country’ s legislative, implementing and monitoring provisions
do not ensure effective application of ILO Conventions No 87, No 98 and
No 138, not to grant them.
2. Where the special arrangements cannot be applied in accordance
with the procedure laid down in paragraph 1, the Commission may
decide in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 32 that the
special arrangements be granted to some sectors if, after the examination
provided for in Article 12, it considers that ILO Conventions No 87,
No 98 and No 138 are effectively applied only in those sectors.
3. Applicant countries shall be notified by the Commission of decisions
taken pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2 and of the date on which they enter

Section 3
Monitoring procedure and administrative cooperation methods for
the special incentive arrangements concerning labour rights
Article 14
1. Products referred to in Article 10 originating in countries which have
been notified of a decision granting them entitlement to the special
incentive arrangements shall be admitted under the arrangements
provided for in Article 10 from the date of entry into force of that
decision on presentation of a statement by the beneficiary country’ s
competent authorities, duly identified during appraisal of the request,
certifying that the products in question and their components have been
manufactured in that country, or in a country entitled to regional
cumulation within the meaning of Article 72 of Regulation (EEC)
No 2454/93, under conditions complying with the domestic legislation
referred to in the first indent of Article 11(1) and are therefore eligible
for the special incentive arrangements.
2. The statement referred to in paragraph 1 shall take the following
form, as appropriate:‘ILO Conventions No 87, No 98, No 138 — Title II
of Regulation (EC) No 2820/98’,
and shall be entered in box 4 of the certificate of origin form A or on the
invoice declaration provided for in Article 90 of Regulation (EEC)
No 2454/93. This statement shall be validated by a stamp of the
beneficiary country authority referred to in paragraph 1, in accordance
with the provisions of Article 93 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

origin form A or the invoice declaration shall be valid solely in respect of
the special incentive arrangements and not for any other preferential
treatment.
Article 15
1. The provisions of Article 81(3) to (6), Article 84 and Articles 93 to
95 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the
statements referred to in Article 14.
2. The issuing authorities for the statements referred to in Article 14
may be different from those for certificates of origin form A.!B1998R2820 — EN — 01.01.1999 — 000.001 — 10
3. Having regard to Article 94(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, the
Commission, in cooperation with the Committee referred to in Article
31, shall draw up a non-exhaustive list of criteria specifying cases of
reasonable doubt which may arise for these incentives, at the latest by the
time a request for special preferences is granted. The Commission shall
publish this list in the Official Journal of the European Communities .
4. (a) The customs authorities in the Community shall inform the
Commission, which shall immediately publish a notification in
theOfficial Journal of the European Communities :
— that reasonable doubt exists about the entitlement to the
special incentives, making clear the products, producers and
exporters to which it applies, when a second communication
is sent under Article 94(5) of Commission Regulation (EEC)
No 2454/93 which relates to the benefits granted in this
Regulation, or
— that a particular product from particular producers and
exporters is not entitled to the special incentives, when it has
been so established using the procedure in Article 94 of
Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
(b) The part of any customs debt which corresponds to the benefits
granted under this Title shall be considered not to be incurred
unless it is incurred after the date of publication of the
notification referred to in subparagraph (a) and the debt
concerns a product, producer and exporter specially mentioned
therein, or unless the conditions justifying the application of the
second sentence of Article 221(3) of Regulation (EEC)
No 2913/92 exist.
Section 4
Procedure for granting the special incentive arrangements concern-
ing environmental protection
Article 16
1. Without prejudice to the following Articles, the reductions specified
in Article 10 shall apply to products originating in the beneficiary
countries listed in Annex III on condition that the authorities of those
countries have applied to the Commission in writing to take advantage of
the special incentive scheme for their originating products, giving details
of:
— their domestic legislation incorporating the substance of the ITTO
standards; the full text of such legislation must be attached, together
with an authentic translation into one of the Community languages,
— the measures taken to implement that legislation,— their commitment to maintain that legislation and the implementing
measures.
2. The Commission shall publish a notice in the Official Journal of the
European Communities announcing that such a request has been made by
a beneficiary country and stating that any rel evant information
concerning the request may be sent to the Commission by any interested
natural or legal person; it shall specify the period within which interested
parties may make known their views.
Article 17
1. The Commission shall examine the requests submitted by the
beneficiary countries and, depending on the content, may put any further
questions which it considers relevant.
2. The Commission shall seek whatever information it considers
necessary and may check this information where appropriate with the

Article 24
1. Where the Commission finds that there is sufficient evidence to
establish that a beneficiary country meets the conditions laid down in
Article 22(1)(d), it may take action against that country to suspend in
whole or in part the arrangements provided for in this Regulation for a
period of three months, renewable once only, provided that is has first:
— informed the Committee referred to in Article 31 of its intentions,— called on the Member States to take such precautionary measures as
are necessary in order to safeguard the Community’s financial
interests,
— published a notice in the Official Journal of the European
Communities stating that there are grounds for reasonable doubts

beneficiary country concerned which may call into question its
right to continue enjoying the benefits granted by this Regulation.
2. A Member State may refer the Commission’ s decision to the Council
within 10 days. The Council, acting by qualified majority, may adopt a
different decision within 30 days.
3. On conclusion of the period of suspension, the Commission shall
decide either to:

of the Committee referred to in Article 31, or
— initiate the consultations referred to in Article 23(2) with a view to
temporary withdrawal of the preferences provided for in Article
22(2). Pending the outcome of such consultations and of any
investigation initiated pursuant to Article 25, the Commission may
decide to extend the suspension measure in accordance with the
procedure provided for in Article 32.
Article 25
1. Where the Commission finds, following the consultations referred to
in Article 23, that there is sufficient evidence to justify initiation of an
investigation, it shall:
(a) announce the initiation of an investigation in the Official Journal of
the European Communities and notify the country concerned
thereof; such announcement shall give a summary of the information
received and state that all relevant information is to be communi-

Committee referred to in Article 31, verify the information with
economic operators and the competent authorities of the beneficiary
country concerned. For this purpose the Commission may dispatch its
own experts to establish on the spot the truth of the allegations made by
the persons referred to in Article 23(1). The Commission shall provide
the competent authorities of the beneficiary country concerned with
every opportunity to cooperate as necessary in the conduct of these
enquiries.
3. The Commission may also be assisted by officials of the Member
State on whose territory verification might be sought, if the said Member
State so requests.!B1998R2820 — EN — 01.01.1999 — 000.001 — 14
4. The Commission may hear the interested parties. It shall so hear
them if they have, within the period prescribed in the notice published in

3. If the Commission considers temporary withdrawal of preference to
be necessary, it shall submit an appropriate proposal to the Council,

Preferences shall normally be granted to products which are subject to
anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures under Regulation (EC)
No 384/96 (1) and (EC) No 2026/97 (2) as amended, unless it can be
shown that those measures were based on injury caused and on prices
which did not reflect the preferential tariff arrangements granted to the
country concerned. To that end, the Commission shall publish in the
Official Journal of the European Communities a list of products and
countries to which preference is not granted.
Section 3
Safeguard clause
Article 28
1. Where a product originating in one of the countries or territories
listed in Annex III is imported on terms which cause or threaten to cause
serious difficulties to a Community producer of like or directly
competing products, Common Customs Tariff duties on that product
may be reintroduced at any time at the request of a Member State or on
the Commission’ s own initiative.

consulting the Committee referred to in Article 31. A Member State may
refer the Commission’ s decision to the Council within 10 days. The
Council, acting by a qualified majority, shall have 30 days within which
to adopt a different decision.
5. The beneficiary countries concerned shall be informed of such
measures before the said measures become effective.

either notification or examination impossible, the Commission may, after
so informing the Member States, implement any preventive measure
which is strictly necessary and which satisfies the conditions laid down
in paragraph 1 to deal with the situation.
7. Nothing in this Article shall affect the application of safeguard
clauses adopted as part of the common agricultural policy under Article
43 of the Treaty, or as part of the common commercial policy under

PART 2
Identification of countries and sectors referred to in Article 3
I. Classification of beneficiary countries by development index
The development index represents each country’s overall level of industrial
development compared with that of the European Union. It is based on thefollowing formula, which combines per capita income with the level of
manufactured exports:
log Y i=POP i ðÞ =Yue=POP ue ðÞ ½/C138 þ log X i=Xue ½/C138 fg
2
in which:
Y = the beneficiary country’s income,Y
ue = the European Union’ s income,
POP i = the beneficiary country’s population,
POP ue = the population of the European Union,
Xi = the value of the beneficiary country’s manufactured exports,
Xue = the value of the European Union’ s manufactured exports.
Using this formula, an index of 0 means the beneficiary’ s level of industrial
developments is equal to that of the European Union.
Figures for income and population are taken from World Bank statistics
(World Development Report 1993) and those for manufactured exports fromthe Unctad Handbook of International Trade and Development Statistics
(1992).
II. Classification of beneficiary countries by relative sectoral specialisation
index
A beneficiary country’ s specialisation index is derived from the relationship
between the proportion of imports in a determined sector coming from thiscountry within the total amount of Community imports in this sector, on the
one hand, and on the other hand, this country’ s share of the total Community
imports.
III. Combining the development and specialisation indexes
The combination of these two indexes determines how Article 3 will be
applied to each beneficiary country.
For countries with a development index greater than −1, Article 3 will apply
when the specialisation index equals or exceeds 1.
For countries with a development index between −1 and −1,23, Article 3 will
apply when the specialisation index equals or exceeds 1,5.
For countries with a development index between −1,23 and −1,70, Article 3
will apply when the specialisation index equals or exceeds 5.
For countries with a development index between −1,70 and −2, Article 3 will
apply when the specialisation index equals or exceeds 7.
Article 3 will not apply to countries with a development index of less than −2.!
