Explanatory Memorandum
1.Atthe2Jrd session ofGATT ,theContracting Parties recognized
that preferential tariff arrangements between developing countries
would contribute totheexpansion oftrade inthese countries and to
therealization ofthe objectives oftheGeneral Agreement .
Sixteen countries have concluded negotiations tothat effect ,and five
ofthem ,Greece ,Turkey ,Tunisia ,Spain andIsrael have also concluded
agreements ofassociation oragreements forpreferential treatment
with theCommunity .TheProtocol governing trade exchanges between
developing countries wasdrawn upon8December 1971 andagreed by
theGovernments concerned on25February 1972 .
On26November 1971 ,theGATT 'sContracting Parties decided that *by
wayofderogation from theprovisions oftheGeneral Agreement ,Parties
participating inthearrangements referred tointheProtocol should
beable togrant preferential treatment without being bound toextend
thesame treatment tosimilar products imported from other Contracting
Parties .
2.Theagreements concluded with theCommunity provide that the
treatment applied bythe countries concerned toproducts originating
intheCommunity shall innocase beless favourable than that applied
toproducts originating inthemost-favoured third State .
TheCommittee considers that ,inview oftheCommunity 'sposition in
relation toGATT andwithin theinstitutions administering the
agreements ,thenecessary measures should betaken toenable the
Community towaive ,insofarasisnecessary ,itsrights under
Article Ml)oftheAgreement with Tunisia andArticle 5ofthe
Agreements withSpain andIsrael ^.
3.TheCommission therefore submits ,asproposals totheCouncil ,the
draft decisions annexed hereto .
Asregards Turkey ,authority todisregard themost -favoured -nation
clause when applying theProtocol signed atGeneva wasgranted to
itbyDecision No1/72oftheAssociation Council .
