THECOUNCILOFTHEEUROPEANUNION,
HavingregardtotheTreatyestablishingtheEuropeanCommunity,and
inparticularArticle133thereof,
HavingregardtotheproposalfromtheCommission,
Whereas:
(1)At its meeting in Lisbon on 23 and 24 March 2000, the
European Council concluded that Stabilisation and Association
Agreements with Western Balkan countries should be preceded
byasymmetricaltradeliberalisation.
(2)The Council, in its conclusions of 24 January and 14 February2000, also invited the Commission to examine the question offacilitating trade with the Republic of Montenegro within theFederalRepublicofYugoslavia.
(3)Council Regulation (EC) No 6/2000 of 17 December 1999concerning the arrangements applicable to imports into the
Community of products originating in the Republics of Bosnia
andHerzegovinaandCroatiaandtoimportsofwineoriginatingintheformerYugoslavRepublicofMacedoniaandtheRepublicof Slovenia(

fromcustomsdutieswithinthelimitoftariffceilingsandlimited
concessions are made for agricultural goods, many of them in
formof exem ption fromduties within the lim it of tariff quotas.Council Regulation (EC) No 1763/1999 of 29 July 1999concerningarrangementsapplicabletoimportsintotheCommu-nity of products originating in Albania provides for a similarregime containing the same restrictions and amending Regula-
tion (EC) No 2820/98 applying a multilateral scheme of
generalised tariff preferences for the period 1 July 1999 to 31December2001asregardsAlbania(

(4)ThegenerallevelofimportsfromtheWesternBalkancountriesis less than 0,6 % of all Community imports. Further marketopeningisexpected tocontribute totheprocessofpolitical andeconomic stabilisation in the region while not creating negative
effectsfortheCommunity.
(5)It is, therefore, appropriate to further improve the Community's
autonomous trade preferences by removing all remaining tariffceilings for industrial products and by further improving accessto the Community market for agricultural and fishery products,includingprocessedproducts.
(6)ThesemeasuresareproposedaspartoftheEUStabilisationand
Associationprocess,inaresponsetothespecificsituationinthe
Western Balkans. They will not constitute a precedent forCommunitytradepolicywithotherthirdcountries.
(7)InaccordancewiththeEUStabilisationandAssociationprocess,basedontheearlierRegionalApproachandtheCouncilConclu-sions of 29 April 1997, the development of bilateral relationsbetween the European Union and the Western Balkan countries
is subject to certain conditions. The granting of autonomous
trade preferences islinked to respect forfundamental principlesofdemocracyandhumanrightsandtothereadinessofthecoun-2000R2007—EN—01.01.2002—002.001—2

tries concerned to develop economic relations between them-
selves. The granting of improved autonomous trade preferencesin favour of countries participating in the EU Stabilisation and
Associationprocessshouldbelinkedtotheirreadinesstoengage
in effective economic reforms and in regional cooperation, inparticular through the establishment of free trade areas in linewithrelevant GATT/WTO standards. Inaddition, entitlement tobenefitfromautonomoustradepreferences isconditional onthe
beneficiaries'involvementineffectiveadministrativecooperation
withtheCommunityinordertopreventanyriskoffraud.
(8)Tradepreferences canonlybegrantedtocountriesorterritories
possessingacustomsadministration.
(9)Albania,BosniaandHerzegovina,Croatia,theFormerYugoslav
Republic of Macedonia and Kosovo, as the latter is defined by
the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of 10
June 1999 subject to international civil administration by theUnited Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), (hereinafterreferredtoas‘Kosovo’)fulfiltheseconditions,andsimilartradepreferences should be granted to all of themin order to avoid
discriminationwithintheregion.
(10)The Republic of Montenegro within the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia does not possess a separate customs administration.
It is, therefore, impossible to grant the same preferences to it.
However, the granting of limited trade preferences for certainMontenegrin industrial products that are not produced in otherparts of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is possible withoutprejudice to the principle of excluding the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia fromthe trade preferences as a whole and in full
compliance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1294/1999 of 15June1999concerningafreezeoffundsandabanoninvestmentin relation to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) andrepealingRegulations(EC)No1295/98and(EC)No1607/98(
1).
(11)The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is already linkedtotheCommunitybyaCooperationAgreementcontainingtradepreferences, and the Community and its Member States openednegotiations fora Stabilisation andAssociationAgreement with
that country. The equivalent of improved autonomous trade
preferences under this Regulation should, therefore, be grantedtothatcountryonaseparatebasis,withtheexceptionofconces-sionsforwine.
(12)TheproposedRegulationshouldcontinuetoprovideforconces-sions on wine, as granted under Regulation (EC) No 6/2000,which apply equally to Slovenia and the Former YugoslavRepublic ofMacedonia pendingtheconclusion ofspecific wine
agreements with these countries. As these concessions continue
toconsistofaglobaltariffquota,itisappropriatetokeeptheseprovisionsinoneandthesameRegulation.
(13)It is, therefore, appropriate to grant the improved autonomoustrade preferences to Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina andCroatiaandtoincludeKosovoandtograntlimitedandspecifictradepreferencesforcertainindustrialproductsoriginatingintheFederalRepublicofYugoslavia.

(15)For the sake of rationalisation and simplification, it is appro-
priate to provide that the Commission may, having consulted
the Customs Code Committee and without prejudice to thespecific procedures provided for in this Regulation, make anynecessary changes and technical amendments necessary to thisRegulation.
(16)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 fortheexercise ofimplementing powersconferred onthe Commis-
sion(
1).
(17)The introduction of the proposed measures for agricultural
products and fishery products originating in the Republics of
Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia will make the
inclusion of those Republics in the Community's scheme ofgeneralised tariff preferences superfluous. It is therefore appro-priate to remove those Republics from the list of beneficiariesof Council Regulation (EC) No 2820/98 of 21 December 1998applying a multiannual scheme of generalised tariff preferences
fortheperiod1July1999to31December2001(
