Inthisconnection ,itshouldbepointedoutthaton1January 1977the

suggestthatthepresentstructureoftheGSPschemeshouldbemaintained,*
andthatonlythefewtechnical improvements whichappearnecessary and

.\ '
TheCommission proposes toincludethePeople'sRepublic ofChina v'
amongthebeneficiaries oftheCommunity 'sGSPschemefrom1January 1980.
Asthiscountry,whichraisedthequestion ofitsinclusion isnotamember
oftheGroupof77,thatinclusion mustbeassessed onits.ownmerits.

Thebasiceconomic indicators ,suchasgrossnational product,economic
structure,whichisbasedonagriculture ,andenergyproduction ,etc.,show
thatChinamustbeconsidered asadeveloping country.Itwouldtherefore
seemadvisable toincludeitamongthebeneficiaries foralltheproducts
covered bytheGSPwiththeexception ofthesensitive products;as
regardstextileproducts,itshouldbeincluded following theconclusion
oftheEEC-China textile agreement andinaccordance withthesame
procedures asHongKongandRomania.

VI.SUPPLEMENTARY MEASURES ,,
TheCommunity hasnotceasedtopursueitsobjective ofaquantitative
andalsoqualitative improvement intheuseofitsGSPschemes.Thestatistics
on..utilisation showclearlythatthebeneficiaries stillbenefitvery
unevenly fromtheadvantages offered.

Furthermore ,theydonotderivesufficiently differentiated benefit from
thepossibilities opentothem,andtheyneglectthoseaccorded tothem
fornon-sensitive products .
TheCommission willtherefore continue in1980tomakeitsprogramme
ofseminars asextensive andeffective aspossible byendeavouring to
makedirectcontactwiththoseinvolved inexporttrade.
Furthermore ,theCommission hastakenspecialstepstospeedupthe
processofcompiling andpublishing itspractical Guidetotheuseofthe
Communities' schemeofgeneralized tariffpreferences inordertomakeit
available tothoseconcerned assoonaspossible atthestartoftheyear
ofapplication ofthescheme.
VII.CONCLUSIONS .
Inpresenting itsproposals for1980,theCommission wouldpointout
thattheyaresetagainst anunfavourable economic background ,whichis
\seriously affected bytheuncertainties created bytheproblemofenergy
products .Itwouldalsostressthattheschememustofnecessity remain
conservative sinceitrepresents theendofthefirstdecadeofthe
generalized systemofpreferences andthatfundamental changeswouldnotbe
contemplated beforetheguidelines forthesecondseriesofGSPschemes havebeen
clearlydefined .

IntheLightofthesetwofactors,itshould,however,benotedthat
the1980,schemerepresents asignificant improvement ,notablyasregards
theofferforindustrial products.Thisprogressillustrates theimportance
theCommission attaches toconstantly extending,onapragmatic basis,the
preferential benefits accorded tothedeveloping countries .
