the period 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2004
(2002/C 75 E/07)
COM(2001) 688 final  2001/0131(ACC)
(Submitted by the Commission on 14 November 2001)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) Since 1971, the European Community has granted trade
preferences to developing countries, in the framework ofits scheme of generalised tariff preferences.
(2) A communication of the Commission to the Council of
1 June 1994 sets out the guidelines for the application ofthe scheme for the period 1995-2004 (
1).
(3) Council Regulation (EC) No 2820/98 of 21 December
1998 (2) implements the scheme of generalised tariff pref-
erences until 31 December 2001. Thereafter, the schemeshould continue to apply until 31 December 2004, inaccordance with the guidelines.
(4) It should incorporate the provisions of Council Regulation
(EC) No 416/2001 amending Council Regulation (EC)No 2820/98 applying a multiannual scheme of gener-alised tariff preferences for the period 1 July 1999 to31 December 2001 so as to extend duty-free accesswithout any quantitative restrictions to products orig-
inating in the least developed countries (
3).
(5) The special arrangements to combat drug production and
trafficking should be closely monitored during the periodcovered by this Regulation in order to determine whether
they should be maintained thereafter.
(6) Preferences should be differentiated according to the sensi-
tivity of products. It would be sufficient to differentiatebetween two product categories, sensitive andnon-sensitive products.
(7) Tariff duties on non-sensitive products should continue to
be suspended, while duties on sensitive products shouldenjoy a tariff reduction.(8) Such reduction should be sufficiently attractive in order to
motivate traders to use the opportunities offered by thescheme. As far as ad valorem duties are concerned, the
reduction should therefore be a flat rate of 3,5 percentagepoints of the MFN duty rate, while specific duties should
be reduced by 30 %. Where such duties specify a
minimum duty, that minimum duty shall not apply.
(9) 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.
(10) The provisions on the exclusion of beneficiary countries
on grounds of the degree of their development should beapplied once a year. However, countries should only beexcluded where they meet the criteria for exclusion during
three consecutive years, and they should be readmitted
where they do not meet those criteria during threeconsecutive years.
(11) During the first year of application of this Regulation the
countries previously excluded should remain excluded.
(12) The provisions on graduation of sectors should be applied
once a year. However, sectors should only be graduatedwhere they meet the criteria for graduation during three
consecutive years, and they should be readmitted where
they do not meet those criteria during three consecutiveyears.
(13) During the first year of application of the Regulation the
sectors previously graduated should remain graduated.
(14) The tariff preferences under the special incentive
arrangements should be as high as the preferencesoffered under the general arrangements, thus doublingthe latter.
(15) The special incentive arrangements should grant tariff
preferences in all sectors that had been graduated,equivalent to the preferences available under the generalarrangements.EN 26.3.2002 Official Journal of the European Communities C 75 E/51

(2) OJ L 357 of 30.12.1998, p. 1.
(3) OJ L 60 of 1.3.2001, p. 43.
(16) The special incentive arrangements for the protection of
labour rights should require effective application of allstandards referred to in the ILO Declaration on Funda-mental Principles and Rights at Work.
(17) The general rules concerning proof of origin and methods
of administrative cooperation laid down in CommissionRegulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (
1) and the rules concerning
the customs debt, in particular Article 220(2) (b) ofCouncil Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (
2) shall apply to
tariff preferences granted under the special incentivearrangements for the protection of labour rights.
(18) The special incentive arrangements for the protection of
the environment should take into account new devel-
opments concerning internationally agreed standards andcertification schemes.
(19) The reasons for temporary withdrawal should include
serious and systematic violation of any standardsreferred to in the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Prin-ciples and Rights at Work as well as significant detri-mental effects on the environment.
(20) Temporary withdrawal of all tariff preferences in respect
of imports of products originating in Myanmar shouldremain in force.

1.Development index
The development index refers to a country’s level of industrial development. It compares that level with the one of the
European Union, using the following formula:

where
Yi = the beneficiary country’s gross national product,
Yue = the European Union’s gross national product,
POPi= the beneficiary country’s population,
POPue= 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.
2.Specialisation index
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 country’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
