Commission proposals to the Council fixing the Community's scheme of generalized 
tariff preferences for 1989 
COM(88) 352 final/2 
(Submitted by the Commission on 24 June 1988) 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No... 
of... 
applying generalized tariff preferences for 1989 in respect of certain industrial products 
originating in developing countries 
(88/C 302/01) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion ('), 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parlia­
ment (2), 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee (3), 
Whereas, in accordance with its offer made within the 
context of the United Nations Conference on Trade 
and Development (UNCTAD), the European Econo­
mic Community opened generalized tariff preferences 
commencing in 1971, notably in respect of finished and 
semi-finished industrial products from developing 
countries; whereas the initial 10-year period of applica­
tion of this system of preferences expired on 31 Decem­
ber 1980; 
Whereas, however, the positive role played by this sys­
tem in improving access for developing countries to the 
markets of the preference-giving countries was recog­
nized at the ninth session of the UNCTAD Special 
Committee on Preferences; whereas it was there agreed 
that the objectives of the generalized preference scheme 
would not be fully achieved by the end of 1980, that 
consequently it should be prolonged beyond the initial 
(') OJNoC... 
(-) OJ No C ... 
(•') OJ No C ... period and that an overall review of the system should 
take place in 1990; 
Whereas, therefore, the Community has decided to 
apply generalized tariff preferences, in the context of 
the conclusions agreed in UNCTAD in accordance 
with the intention expressed in the said Committee, in 
particular by all the preference-giving countries; 
Whereas the temporary and non-binding nature of the 
system means that the offer can be withdrawn wholly 
or in part at a later date, thus maintaining the possibil­
ity of remedying any unfavourable situations which 
might arise following implementation of the system, 
including such situations in the African, Caribbean an 
Pacific States (ACP States); 
Whereas, since the extension of its generalized tariff 
preferences scheme for a second 10-year period (1981 
to 1990), the Community has decided to modify one of 
the fundamental characteristics of it to give the benefi­
ciary countries a more equitable access to the preferen­
tial advantages; whereas, in order to attain this, the 
Community had decided to apply a preferential treat­
ment which takes account of the particular situation of 
each of the beneficiaries and to proceed to a system of 
individual tariff ceilings for certain sensitive products; 
whereas the least-developed countries are not subject 
to ceilings; whereas, ever since then, the annual adap­
tations of the Community scheme responds, for the 
most part, to the double imperative of the differentia­
tion of the preferential advantages and of simplifica­
tions; whereas the identification of the products and 
the countries to treat selectively takes place with regard 
to the sensitivity of the sectors and to the Community 
t^oC^B2 Official journal of the European Communities ^ IIm^D 
market situation of the products in question as well as 
considerationof the decree of industrialdevelopment 
and the competitiveness of these countries^ 
Whereas preferential tariff treatment is applicable to 
industrial products of Chapters 25 to 49 and 64 to 97 of 
the Common Customs Tariff, with the exception of 
products^ 
— covered bv the Lreatv establishing the European 
Coal and ^teelCommunitv, 
— contained in the list of basic products inpartl of 
Annex 11, 
— entitled to exemption from customs duties in the 
Common Customs Tariffs 
whereas the tariff ceiling arrangements mentioned 
above must be applied in suchawav as to differentiate 
between products in Annexe whereas the tariff 
regimes necessarv to implement these arrangements 
consist on the one hand of tixeddutv tree amounts for 
products originating in the most competitive countries 
and, on the other hand, bv means of ceilings for prod^ 
ucts in Annexe originating in other less competitive 
countries^ 
Whereas the other products covered bv this Ke^ulation 
should asa^eneralrule,be made subject to surveilP 
ance for essentially statisticalpurposes^ 
Whereas, since the intermediate revision of the scheme 
for the vearsl9^tol990, the Community has estabD 
lishedthat^ 
— the latter responds satisfactorilv to the fixed ob^ec^ 
tives, 
— the beneficiarv countries continue, however, to use 
the preferential advantages in an unequal manner, 
— the objectives of the scheme have been reached in 
certain cases bv the most competitive beneficiarv 
countries^ 
Whereas, on the basis of these considerations, the 
Community has decided^ 
— tomaintainfor the second halfof the decadethe 
fundamental characteristics of the scheme, notablv 
the ^rant,within certain limits, of the total susoen 
sion of custom duties, 
— to accentuate the differentiation of the preferential 
advantages fromwhich the most competitive counD 
tries benetit and to enlarge at the same time the pre^ 
ferential access to the least competitive countries^ 
Whereas provision should be made to continue in!9^9 
the process of differentiation be^un in 19^6 concerning the ^rant of advantages under the scheme to the more 
competitive countries — both in terms of market share 
and exoort canacitv — and whereas it is therefore 
appropriate to reduce the preferential amounts bv 50^ 
for twelve additional products or^inatin^ in those 
countries, marked with three asterisks in Annexe to 
this Regulations 
Whereas the criteria to be adopted for suchareduction 
are based on the competitive capacity of the benetici 
arv countrv concerned, this caoacitvbein^ expressed in 
the case ofaspeci^lc product either bv this countrv^s 
narticipation intheCommunitv^stotalimportsorbv 
the ratio of the preferential volume amount opened for 
this countrv to the totalCommunitv imports fromthe 
same countrv^ whereas, in addition, the level of econo 
mic development of the countrv concerned has also 
beenta^en intoaccounn whereas, with re^ardtothe 
application of the first criterion,ashare has been set at 
20^of the 19^7 total extra^C imports of the prod 
uctbein^ referred to, while recourse to the second crite 
rion is made where the total imports of the product in 
question have, in accordance with the mean of the 
vearsl9^6andl9^7,exceeded bv at least lOtimes the 
tariffquota amounts whereas the first criterion applies 
to seven of the twelve products mentioned above while 
the second criterion apolies to tlve products^ 
Whereastheabovementionedreasonsthathave^usti 
fied the criteria of competitivenessremain valid and 
whereas the maintenance of preferential benefit for the 
most competitive countries is not justified andaredis 
tribution of the suppiv is necessarv^ whereas it is 
appropriate to pursue the differentiation and to initiate 
thesuppression of thepreferentialbenefitfor certain 
countries forsix additional products per countrv,desi^ 
nated bv a footnote, meeting the first criterion and 
which have previously been reduced bv 50 ^u 
Whereas, however, in the multilateral trade ne^otia 
tions, in accordance with para^raph6 of the Lolovo 
declaration, the Community reaffirmed that special 
treatment should,whenever possible, be granted to the 
least developed amon^ the developing countries^ 
whereas, therefore, charges on preferential importations 
of on products originating in the least developed of the 
developing countries listed in Annex PV to this Re^ula 
tion should not be subject tofixeddutv^ree amounts 
orCommunitvceilin^s^ 
Whereas toreflectbetter in thepreferential amounts 
the develonmentofcommercial exchange flows of the 
Community, these amounts must be revised in 19^ 
with regard to the orodncts of Annexe 
Whereas, for the same reasons, the process of revision 
was extended to the reference bases, taldn^ into consid 
28. 11.88 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 302/3 
eration the examination of the situation resulting from 
preferential importations of other products covered by 
this Regulation; whereas, at the same time, the method 
of calculation of the abovementioned reference bases 
has been revised, and for this purpose a percentage of 
total importations for each of these products into the 
Community has been taken into account; whereas, 
according to the new method of calculation, the refer­
ence bases for 1989 correspond in general to 6 % of the 
total importations into the Community in 1987 of each 
of the products concerned originating in a third coun­
try; whereas products subject to reference bases corres­
ponding to 2 % only of the said importations are indi­
cated in part 3 of Annex II; 
Whereas such tariff exemptions should be reserved for 
products originating in the countries or territories under 
consideration, the concept of 'originating products' 
being determined by Regulation (EEC) No 693/88 ('); 
Whereas the Community preference arrangements 
applicable to Yugoslavia result exclusively from the 
Agreement between the Community and the Socialist 
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (2); 
Whereas the Republic of Korea does not treat the Com­
munity on an equal footing with other trade partners 
and whereas it has taken discriminatory measures in 
respect of the Community in the sphere of the protec­
tion of intellectual property; whereas, therefore, it is 
inappropriate that the Republic of Korea should ben­
efit from the scheme of generalized tariff preferences as 
long as this situation continues; 
Whereas, from 1 March 1986, the Kingdom of Spain 
and the Portuguese Republic shall apply the Com­
munity system of generalized preferences, in compli­
ance with Articles 178 and 365 of the Act of Accession; 
Whereas, regarding the amounts given in Annex I (pre­
viously referred to as quotas), the method of manage­
ment has been founded until now on an apportionment 
of most of the amounts between the Member States; 
whereas the analysis of the utilization of these volumes 
shows a state of differing situations among the Member 
States, one or two reaching their individual amounts 
very quickly, while others disposed of their unused 
quantities until the end of the exercise; whereas, 
regarding the fact that they are Community measures 
and with the view to the achievement of the internal 
market foreseen by the 'white paper' for 1992, it is not 
appropriate to foresee an apportionment among Mem­
ber States; whereas the new method of management is 
open, furthermore, to improve the utilization of the 
said fixed duty free amounts in that it allows the cover­
ing of the needs there where they are seen; whereas it is 
(') OJNoL77, 22. 3. 1988, p. 1. 
O OJ No L147, 4.6. 1981, p. 6; OJ No L 41, 14.2. 1983, 
p. 1. appropriate, besides, to foresee the possibility for the 
Member States to effect drawings by reason of quanti­
ties corresponding to their needs; 
Whereas, in respect of these fixed duty free amounts, it 
is necessary in particular to ensure equal and contin­
uous access for all Community importers and to ensure 
uninterrupted application of the rate laid down for 
those quotas to all imports of the products concerned 
into all the Member States until the amounts are used 
up; whereas, to this end, and in the context of such an 
arrangement, the actual charges against the amounts 
could relate only to products entered for free circula­
tion and accompanied by a certificate of origin; 
Whereas, if a considerable balance remains in one of 
the fixed duty free amount shares of one or other Mem­
ber state, it is essential that that Member State returns it 
in order to prevent a part of the Community amount 
from remaining unused in one Member State when it 
could be used in others; 
Whereas, in the case of the Community tariff ceilings 
listed in Annex I, the desired objectives may be 
attained by applying a method of administration based 
on the charging at Community level, against the above-
mentioned ceilings, of imports of the products con­
cerned as and when these products are entered for free 
circulation and are accompanied by a certificate of ori­
gin; whereas this method of administration must make 
provision for the reintroduction of the levying of cus­
toms duties, in accordance with the appropriate proce­
dures, as soon as the said ceilings are reached at Com­
munity level; 
Whereas, having regard to the rules applying to the 
repayment or remission of import or export duties, and 
in particular to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1430/ 
79 (3) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3040/ 
83 (4), a procedure should be laid down to regularize 
imports actually made within the fixed duty free 
amounts and/or, preferential tariff limits opened under 
this Regulation and thus provision should be made for 
the Commission to be able to take appropriate mea­
sures; whereas, in order that these regularizations do 
not lead to tariff ceilings being considerably exceeded, 
it is appropriate to foresee at the same time that the 
Commission can take measures to stop the import 
charges; 
Whereas, in the case of the products other than those 
listed in Annex I, provision should be made for the 
(•) OJ No L 175, 12. 7. 1979, p. 1. 
(4) OJ No L 297, 29. 10. 1983, p. 13. 
No C 302/4 Official Journal of the European Communities 28. 11.88 
possibility of reintroducing the levying of customs 
duties in exceptional cases and in accordance with 
appropriate procedures and rules; whereas, taking into 
account the necessity of initiating the examination of 
certain economic factors relating to the importations of 
a specific product, it is appropriate that the reintroduc-
tion of the levying of custom duties is preceded by a 
consultation between the Member States and the Com­
mission; 
Whereas such methods of adminsitration call for close 
and particularly rapid cooperation between Member 
states and the Commission; whereas such cooperation 
should be particularly close in view of the need for the 
Commission to be able to take appropriate measures to 
reintroduce the levying of customs duties when any of 
the ceiling are reached; 
Whereas it is necessary to establish complete statistics 
on imports admitted in accordance with the provisions 
of the present Regulation and to apply to the collec­
tion, preparation and transmission of these statistics 
Council Regulations (EEC) No 1736/75(0 and (EEC) 
No 3367/87 (2); 
Whereas, in order to ensure a better transparency of the 
system, it is necessary to publish both the annual 
charges recorded against the tariff measures and the 
tariff ceilings which have reached the 100 % level; 
Whereas, for the purposes of applying this Regulation, 
the rates of conversion into national currencies of the 
value in ecu in which the preferential amounts are 
expressed shall be those fixed on the first working day 
of October 1988 and they shall remain in force from 
1 January to 31 December 1989 (3); 
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom 
of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxem­
bourg are united within and jointly represented by the 
Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning, 
in particular, the administration of fixed duty free 
amount shares allocated to that economic union may 
be carried out by any one of its members, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
1. From 1 January to 31 December 1989 the customs 
duties of the Common Customs Tariff shall be totally 
suspended for products convered by this Regulation.

(-) OJ No L 321, 11. 11. 1987, p. 3. 
O OJ No C ... This Regulation applies to products of Chapters 25 to 
49 and 64 to 97 of the Common Customs Tariff, with 
the exception of products: 
— covered by the Treaty establishing the European 
coal and Steel Community, 
— contained in the list of basic products in part 1 of 
Annex II, 
— entitled to exemption from customs duties in the 
Common Customs Tariff. 
For the products of Annex I this tariff suspension shall 
be accorded within the framework of fixed duty free 
amounts and ceilings. The other products covered by 
this Regulation shall, as a general rule, be subject to 
statistical surveillance every three months on the refer­
ence base referred to in Article 8. 
Spain and Portugal shall apply to the importation of 
the aforementioned products the customs duties estab­
lished according to Articles 178 and 365 of the Act of 
Accession of 1985. 
2. The preferences provided for in paragraph 1 shall 
apply solely: 
— to each country or territory listed in column 4 of 
Annex I, for each of the products or groups of prod­
ucts listed in columns 2 and 3, 
— for the same products or groups of products listed 
in Annex I to every other country or territory listed 
in Annex III, excepting Yugoslavia, 
— to each of the countries or territories listed in 
Annex III, for other products. 
As regards Yugoslavia, preference is not granted to 
products subject to Community tariff ceilings within 
the framework of the agreement between the Commun-
tiy and Yugoslavia. 
The preferential benefit provided for in paragraph 1 is 
not applicable to countries listed in footnote (d) to 
Annex I or to countries listed in part 2 of Annex II for 
the products specified for those countries. 
3. The preferences granted by this Regulation are sus­
pended, on a temporary basis, for products originating 
in the Republic of Korea. 
4. The admittance to the preferencial benefit system 
established by this Regulation is subordinated to the 
definition of origin of the products which is determined 
by Regulation (EEC) No 693/88. 
5. Fixed duty free amounts, Community tariff ceilings 
and other tariff limits, shall be administered in accord­
ance with the provisions set out below. 
28. 11. 88 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 302/5 
SECTION I 
Provisions concerning the adminstration of fixed duty free 
amounts relating to products listed in Annex I 
Article 2 
The total suspension of customs duties within the 
framework of the fixed duty free amounts referred to in 
Article 1(1) shall be granted to each country or territory 
listed in column 4 of Annex I, for the products speci­
fied in columns 2 and 3 against the name of the coun­
try or territory concerned, together with details in col­
umn 5 of the amount of the individual quota. 
Article 3 
The fixed duty free amounts shall be administered by 
the Commission. 
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration 
of entry into free circulation, including a request for 
preferential benefit for a product, accompanied by a 
certificate of origin and subject to a fixed duty free 
amount, and if this request is accepted by the Customs 
authorities, the Member state concerned shall draw, by 
means of notification to the Commission, a quantity 
corresponding to its needs. 
The requests for drawing, with the indication of the 
date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be 
communicated to the Commission without delay. 
The drawings are granted by the Commission following 
the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into 
free circulation by the customs authorities of the Mem­
ber State concerned, to the extent that the balance of 
the said amount permits. 
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it 
shall return them as soon as possible to the correspond­
ing amount. 
If the quantities requested are greater than the available 
balance of the fixed duty free amount, allocation shall 
be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. 
Member States shall be informed by the Commission in 
accordance with the same procedures. 
Article 4 
1. The Commission shall keep account of the quanti­
ties drawn by the Member States conforming to 
Article 3 and shall inform each of them as soon as it 
receives notification of the exhausting of the volumes 
opened. It shall ensure that the drawing which uses up any of these amounts is limited to the balance available 
and, to this end, specify the amount to the Member 
State which proceeds to the last drawing. 
The fact that the fixed amounts have been used shall 
forthwith be brought to the notice of Member States. 
This communication shall be the subject of a publica­
tion in the Official Journal of the European Communi­
ties ('C'Series). 
2. The Member States shall take all the appropriate 
measures to ensure that the drawings that they effect 
pursuant to Article 3 may be charged without interrup­
tion against the fixed duty free amounts. 
Each Member State shall guarantee free access to these 
amounts to the importers of the products in question as 
far as the balance of the volumes opened permits. 
Article 5 
By 28 February 1990 at the latest, Member States shall 
notify the Commission of the final total of the quanti­
ties charged at 31 December 1989. Up to the limit of 
the balance remaining, and at the request of the Mem­
ber States, the Commission shall authorize the Member 
States to make any necessary regularization of the 
quantities charged against imports actually made 
during the period referred to in Article 1(1). The Com­
mission shall inform the other Member States thereof. 
SECTION II 
Provisions concerning the administration of the 
Community tariff ceilings relating to products listed in 
Annex I and the reference base relating to products other 
than those listed in Annex I 
Article 6 
Subject to Articles 7 and 8 the preferential tariff ceiling 
arrangements shall be accorded for products in 
Annex I, to each of the countries or territories listed in 
Annex III, other than those listed in column 4 and 
Yugoslavia. The limits of these ceilings are specified in 
column 6 against each product or group of products. 
Article 7 
As soon as the individual ceilings, as fixed in accord­
ance with Article 6 and which are laid down for 
imports into the Community of products originating in 
any of the countries or territories referred to in 
Article 1 (2), are reached at Communtiy level, the levy­
ing of customs duties on imports of the products in 
No C 302/6 Official Journal of the European Communities 28. 11. 88 
question originating in each of the countries and terri­
tories concerned may be reintroduced until the end of 
the period referred to in Article 1(1). 
Article 8 
Where the preferential imports of products other than 
those listed in Annex I, originating in one or more ben­
eficiary countries, causes or threatens to cause econo­
mic difficulties in the Community, or in a region of the 
Community, the levying of customs duties may be rein­
troduced, once the Commission has had an appropriate 
exchange of information and if necessary, a consul­
tation with the Member States. 
The reference base to be considered when examining 
the situation underlying the damage shall be, as a gen­
eral rule, equal to 6 % of the total importations into the 
Community, originating from third countries in 1987. 
Article 9 
1. The Commission shall reintroduce the levying of 
customs duties in respect of any of the countries or ter­
ritories referred to in Article 1 (2), under the conditions 
laid down in Articles 7 and 8, by means of a Regula­
tion. 
In the case of such reintroductions, Spain and Portugal 
shall reintroduce the levying of customs duties that 
they shall apply to third countries on the date in ques­
tion. 
2. By means of a Regulation, the Commission may, 
even after 31 December 1989, take measures to stop 
quantities being charged against one or other preferen­
tial tariff limit, if, particularly as a result of regulariza-
tions of imports actually made during the period 
referred to in Article 1(1), these limits are exceeded. 
The Member State which makes such regularization 
shall communicate the figures of import charges relat­
ing to this as and when it occurs to the Commission. 
The Commission, on receiving these communications, 
shall inform the other Member States thereof. 
Article 10 
Articles 7, 8 and 9 shall not apply to the imports in 
question originating in the countries set out in 
Annex IV. 
SECTION III 
General provisions 
Article!! 
1. For the purposes of the application of this Regula­
tion, the rates of conversion into national currencies of the value in ecu in which the preferential amounts are 
expressed shall be those fixed on 1 October 1988 and 
they shall remain in force from 1 January to 31 Decem­
ber 1989 (')•

circulation on the basis of the customs value of the said 
products, accompanied by a certificate of origin in 
accordance with the rules laid down in Article 1 (4). 
3. Imports of the products in question shall be 
charged against import ceilings or other preferential 
tariff limits as and when the products are entered for 
free circulation, on the basis of the customs value of 
the said products, accompanied by a certificate of ori­
gin in accordance with the rules laid down in 
Article 1 (4). 
4. The extent to which the fixed duty free amounts, 
ceilings or other preferential tariff limits have been 
used up shall be determined at Community level on the 
basis of the imports charged in accordance with para­

1. The Member States shall, within six weeks of the 
end of each quarter at the latest, forward to the Statisti­
cal Office of the European Communities the relevant 
statistical data for the products entered for free circula­
tion in the quarter concerned under generalized prefer­
ential treatment in accordance with the provisions of 
the present Regulation. This data, transmitted accord­
ing to the codes of the combined nomenclature and, 
where applicable of the Taric, shall show the country of 
origin, value, quantity and any supplementary units as 
defined by Regulations (EEC) No 1736/75 and (EEC) 
No 3367/87. 
2. However, in the case of products, subject to ceil­
ings, the Member States shall, by the eleventh day of 
each month at the latest, forward to the Commission 
the list of charges effected during the previous month. 
At the Commission's request, when the level of 75 % of
