ANNEX I
REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TOTHE COUNCIL
onthenegotiations with Indonesia under Article XXVIII
ofGATT onthe modification ofthe tariff concessions
included initsSchedule XXI following therevision of
the Indonesian customs tariff
1. On22November .1976 Indonesia 'sPermanent Mission inGeneva in­
formed the Director-General ofGATT ofitsintention tomodify ,inaccor­
dance with Article XXVIII oftheGeneral Agreement onTariffs .andTrade ,
thetariff concessions included initsSchedule following therevision of
the Indonesian customs tariff and itsalignment ontheBrussels .Nomen­
clature .
2. Indonesia po.inted out inthis communication that itwaswilling
toenter into negotiations orconsultations with the Contracting Parties
with which such concessions were initially negotiated orwhich have a
principal orsubstantial supplying interest .TheEuropean Community has
availed itself ofitsrights andasked tonegotiate with Indonesia ,which
stated itsreadiness toconcjuct negotiations with the Community .
3. Inview ofthepriority given totheTokyo Round multilateral
trade negotiations ,itwas not until 5May 1981 that negotiations with the
Indonesian authorities were able tocommence inBrussels .'The Members
oftheArticle 113 Committee were kept regularly informed andconsulted
regarding these negotiations .
4. Thenegotiations centred onthewhole ofIndonesia 'sSchedule XXI
oftariff concessions .These concessions hadbeen negotiated prior to
Indonesia 'sindependence andno*longer reflected thecountry 'sreal econo­
mic situation .Indonesia hadtherefore asked ,when itrevised itscustoms
tariff andaligned itontheBrussels Nomenclature ,tobeable torenego­
tiate this schedule under Article XXVIII but submit offers asinthe case

ofaccessiontoGATT.Thesenegotiations thereforestartedfromscratch,
sinceitwasnotpossibleonthebasisofanyrecentstatisticsassociated
withtheformernomenclature todefineexactlythepreviousentitlements
oftheCommunityandits-:MemberStates.
5.ThevolumeoftradefromtheMemberStatesoftheCommunity,
Indonesia'ssecondlargestsupplier,thatwasofferedforbindingis
comparabletothatofferedtoJapanandtheUnitedStates,itsprincipal
andthirdlargestsuppliers.
Thebindingofdutieswasbasedonatwo-tierprinciplethesameasthat
appliedtoIndonesia'sothertwomaintradingpartners):
(i)dutyboundat30%forproductscurrentlyofferedwhicharesubject
toadutyof30%orless;
(ii)dutyboundat50%forallotherproductsofferedforbinding.
Theprincipaldifficulty,asinallArticleXXVIIIrenegotiations with
theCommunity,wasinobtainingcompensatory adjustmentbetweenMemberStates
thatwassatisfactory inqualitative termsandsuitablybalanced.Following
lengthynegotiations,thefinalofferwasconsideredsatisfactory and
acceptabletotheCommunity.
6.TheArticle113Committeeapprovedtheconclusionofthenego­
tiationsonthisbasisatitsmeetingon13November1981.
