Draft 
DECISION 
OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES OF THE 
EUROPEAN COAL AND STEEL COMMUNITY, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL 
ooclying for 1990 the generalized tariff preferences for certain steel 
products originating in developing countries 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
These proposals from the Commission to the Council - three draft 
EEC Regulations and one draft ECSC Decision - are intended to 
provide the legislative basis for the operation of the European 
Community's scheme of Generalised Tariff Preferences for the 
calendar year 1990. 
1. The general objectives of the Commission 
The revision of the Community's GSP schemes for the decade 1991-2000 
in the agricultural and industrial sectors should be started this 
year. This revision will give rise to a Commission proposal on 
the subject during the coming months. 
In these circumstances, the Commission believes that fundamental 
and substantial changes to the schemes - other than those already 
put into practise or envisaged in 1989, notably in the area of 
administration - cannot be realised by 1990. 
The intentions of these Commission proposals are as follows: 
(a) to retain the essential elements of the economic part of the 
different schemes applied in 1989, 
(b) without prejudice to the changes which result automatically 
from the principles and criteria decided by the Council within 
the framework of the différenciation policy as applied to the 
industrial scheme since 1985 and to the textile scheme since 
1987, 
(c) to put into practise a Community-wide administration of the 
agricultural, industrial and textile schemes - with the com­
pletion of the internal market in 1992 in mind - something 
which will facilitate and improve the utilisation of preferences 
by beneficiary countries. 
2. The industrial products scheme 
2.1 Overview 
The Commission proposed to retain the structure of the 1989 scheme 
in the 1990 scheme as applicable to industrial products and 
ECSC. 
It is at the same time understood that the changes resulting from 
the application of the principles and criteria of differentiation 
will be notified by the Commission as soon as they become apparent 
in the Community's import statistics for 1988 - the statistical 
year to which the criteria decided in 1988 apply. 
/.. 
2. 
2.2 Administration 
An important step was taken in the 1989 scheme with the 
transformation into fixed duty—free amounts (not allocated 
between Member States) of 73 tariff ceilings for sensitive 
industrial products. 
Following the decision of the Court of Justice in this regard 
in case no. 51/87, and in conformity with the undertaking given 
by the Council in 1988, the Commission therefore proposes to 
the Counci I the putting into operation of the undertaking by 
the transformation into fixed duty-free amounts (not allocated 
between Member States) of the 32 tariff ceilings which remain 
allocated. To date the management of the new duty-free amounts 
has not given rise to any particular difficulty. 
The beneficiary countries may thus fully utilise these preferential 
amounts through a complete communitary administration which also 
represents a positive move towards the completion of the internal 
market in 1992. 
3. The agricultural products scheme 
3.1 Overview 
The Commission also proposes to retain in 1990 the structure of 
the 1989 scheme applying to agricultural products. At the same 
time, it wishes to reiterate the following proposal, previously 
made in 1988: 
- to reduce to 34Z the GSP duty rate on cigars (CN code 2302 10 00) 
so as to restore the preferential margin which existed before 
the Article XXIV (6) GATT negotiations, 
- and to include in the scheme: dried figs (CN code 0804 20.90) 
raisins (CN code 0806 20) and frozen strawberries (CN code 
0811 .10) from the less developed countries in order that their 
GSP regime becomes identical to that in the Lomé Convention 
in so far as the imposition of customs duties is concerned, 
3.2 Administration 
As with the industrial scheme, and for the same reasons, the 
Commission proposes the transformation into fixed .reduced-duty 
amounts (not allocated between Member States) of the 5 tariff 
ceilings which remain allocated. 
./..

4. The texti le products scheme 
4.1 Ovjerview 
The new GSP textile scheme for MFA products, as applied in 
1989, was characterised by an increased differentiation with 
regard to products/beneficiary countries. 
As a result these latter have seen their access to the 
Community market strongly increased within the framework of 
generalised tariff preferences. 
The Commission here again proposes to retain the structure of the 
1989 scheme in the 1990 scheme for products covered by the MFA 
as well as for other textile products. 
As with the industrial scheme, it remains understood that the 
adaptations which will result from the application of the 
differentiation criteria - already put into effect in 1988 and 
1989 - will be notified by the Commission as soon as they 
become apparent in the Community's 1988 import statistics. 
4.2 Administration 
The introduction in 1989 of a Community reserve of 30X in the 
administration of tariff ceilings for MFA textile products con­
stituted an important step forward in the sense of a better 
utilisation by beneficiary countries of quantities available. 
At the same time the return by Member States of their unused 
allocations to the Community reserve remains optional. 
The Commission is proposing that this return of unused alloca­
tions becomes obligatory in the 1990 GSP scheme in order to 
ensure a more communitary administration in this sector, the 
very special nature of which has been previously recognised. 
5. Regime applicable to South Korea 
The regime which would normally apply to South Korea in 1990 is shown 
in each of the GSP schemes. However, the Commission proposes to 
maintain the suspension of preferences with regard to this country 
for as long as it continues its discrimination in its treatment of 
the Community in respect of intellectual property which resulted in 
Regulation (EEC) no. 3912 of 18 December 1987 and the Decision 88/80/ECSC 
of 8 February 1988 on this subject. 
./. 
6. Publication of the Regulations and the Decision 
In previous ^ears, the Regulations and the Decision on GSP were 
adopted and published only a few days before their coming into 
force. There is evidence that such a delay does not permit 
commercial operations in beneficiary countries to be informed of 
the decisions taken in good time. 
Since the GSP is above all for the benefit of these operators and 
since they need to operate in conditions of transparency and 
certainty, the Commission therefore considers it indispensible that 
the new arrangements should be published by at the latest, 15 September 
1989. 
7. Rules of Origin 
The Commission has carried out a thorough analysis of the ways and 
means of introducing a 'donor country element' in the GSP rules of 
origin. This question will shortly be the object of » a regulation. 
8. Other measures 
The Commission has now ceased giving general information seminars 
on GSP in order to concentrate on technical workshops on the under-
utilisation of preferences in certain sectors with commercial operators 
in beneficiary countries, and on the training of officials whose task 
is to complete the origin certificates. 
This approach having been positively received, the Commission intends 
to continue in this manner, whilst at the same time reinforcing the 
link between GSP and the promotion of exports from developing countries. 
Financial Statement 
It should be noted that the financial effect of generalised 
tariff preferences accorded to developing countries is difficult to quantify 
exactly, as much as a result of the flexible nature of the concessions 
as to 
- the complexity of the concessions and the differentiation between 
countries, notably because of the existence of quotas and 
differing tariff ceilings which are applicable either to certain 
products or beneficiary countries. 
- the production structure in some developing countries does 
not always satisfy the rules of origin criteria; 
- only partial utilisation of the advantages offered due either 
to a lack of information or only limited economic benefit if the 
normal duty is already low. 
As result of these elements there is a net disproportion between 
the global offer opened on 1 January and those imports which actually enter 
by 31 December of the same year at a preferential rate. 
On the basis of a global offer worth 25 billion ECU in 1990, of 
a weighted average Common Customs Tariff duty rate of between 5.5 and 6X 
and of an average utilisation rate of some 70%, it is estimated that, under 
the terms of the present proposal, there will be a loss of between 960 million 
and 1 billion ECU in customs duties not levied due to the application of 
the Community's GSP scheme in 1990. This loss is identical* to that estimated 
for 1989 in that the 1990 proposal is identical to its predecessor. 
A model based on actual imports and duty rates is at present being 
defined in order to permit a more sophisticated calculation of the effect on 
its own resources of the various tariff concessions accorded by the Community. 
Task force SHE 
COMPETlTIVFNFSS AND EMPLOYMENT IMPACT STATEMENT 
What is the main reason for introducing the measure ? 
EC has committed itself to offer tariff preferences until at least end 
1990 (Council Decision of December 1980). 
II. Features of the businesses in question. In particular 
(*> Are there many SM£s ? 
not possible to calculate 
(b) Are *hey concçr-1 r j ; ççj in reg^cj^f. which arc : 
i . eligible for regional aid in the Member States ? 
or 
i i .• eligible under the SRDF ? 
Not possible to identify. These regulations apply in the whole Commu­
nity and not specifically in certain areas. 
III. what direct obligations does this measure impose on businesses ? 
No direct obligations. It does not involve any additional cost. On the 
contrary, it should reduce costs of the trading activities .since more 
flexibility is proposed in the management field. 
IV* What indirect obligations are loc^l authorities likely to impose 
on businesses ? 
Only the national customs administrations are involved in the implemen­
tation of the EC GSP schemes. 
Are there any special measures in respect of SMEs ? Please specify. 
No. However, either trading firms or companies using imported components/ 
items in their own production could be stimulated by the proposal. 
VI. What is the likely effect on : 
(al the comoet ùiv?n;ss of businesses ? 
Difficult to identify since a v-Ideranging of sectors and activities 
are covered .Giving preferences may increase external competition 
slightly but can certainly encourage creation of both new import firms 
and joint ventures with foreign partners. 
(b) employment ? 
For the same reasons, impossible to identify. 
VI1* Have both sides of industry been consulted ? 
Please indicate their opinions. 
As the GSP Scheme is a long-established EC policy- since 1 July 1971 -
normal sectoral consultations by DGs III and VI in preparation of these 
proposals have taken place with the relevant industrial organizations. 
In addition, the Commission uses to consult the 'conomic and Social 
Committee, after its proposals being adopted, without having any formal 
obligation to do so. 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 
of 
applying generalized tariff preferences for 1990 in respect of certain industrial products 
originating in developing countries 
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 (:), 
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 
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

. 1Q . • P 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 pan 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 and 
Pacific States (ACP States): 
Whereas, since the extension of its generalized tariff 
preferences scheme for a second 10-vear period (I9S1 
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 cenair. 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 
market situation of the products in question as well as 
consideration of the degree of industrial development 
and the competitiveness of these countries: 
Whereas preferential tariff treatment is applicable to 
industrial products of Chapters 15 to 49 and 64 to 97 of 
the Common Customs Tariff, with the exception of 
products: 
— covered by the Treaty establi>hinc the European 
Coal and Steel Community. 
— contained in the list of basic products in pan I of 
Annex II. 
s 
— entitled to exemption from customs duties in the 
Common Customs Tariff: 
Whereas the tariff ceiling arrangements mentioned 
above must be applied in such a way as to differentiate 
between products irf Annex 1: whereas the tariff 
regimes necessary to implement these arrangements 
consist, on the one hand, of fixed duty-free amounts 
for products originating in the most 
competitive countries and, on the other hand, by means 
of ceilings for products in Annex I originating in other 
less competitive countries: 
Whereas the other products covered by this Regulation 
should as a general rule, be made subject to surveill­
ance for essentially statistical purposes: 
Whereas, since the intermediate revision of the scheme 
for the years 1986 to 1990, the Community has estab­
lished that: 
— the latter responds satisfactorily to the fixed objec­
tives, 
— the beneficiary countries continue, however, to use 
the preferential advantages in an unequal manner, 
— the objectives of the scheme have been reached in 
certain cases by the most competitive beneficiary 
countries: 
Whereas, on the basis of these considerations, the 
Community has decided: 
— to maintain for the second half of the decade the 
fundamental characteristics of the scheme, notably 
the grant, within certain limits, of the total suspen­
sion of custom duties, 
— to accentuate the differentiation of the preferential 
advantages from which the most competitive coun­
tries benefit and to enlarge at the same time the pre­
ferential access to the least competitive countries: 
Whereas provision should be made to continue in 1990 
the process of differentiation begun in 1986 concerning 
the grant of advantages under the scheme to the more 
competitive countries — both in terms of market share 
and export capacity — and whereas it is therefore 
appropriate to reduce the preferential amounts by 50 °/o 
forj | additional products orginating in those coun­
tries, marked with three asterisks in Annex I to this 
Regulation: whereas 
the criteria to be adopted for such a reduction 
are based on the competitive capacity of the benefici­
ary country concerned, this capacity being expressed in 
the case of a specific product either by this country's 
participation in the Community's total impons or by 
the ratio of the preferential volume amount opened for 
this country to the total Communitv imports from the 
same country: whereas, in addition, the level of econo­
mic development of the countrv concerned has also 
been taken into account: whereas, with regard to the 
application of the first criterion, a share ha$ been set at 
20 °-ti of the 198S total extra-EEC import* of the prod­uct being 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 
years 1987 and 198S exceeded by at least 10 times the 
tariff amount: whereas the first criterion applies 
to | |of the | J products mentioned above while the 
second criterion applies to j | products: 
Whereas the abovementioned reasons that have justi­
fied the criteria of competitiveness remain valid and 
whereas the maintenance of preferential benefit for the 
most competitive countries is not justified and a redis­
tribution of the supply is necessarv ; whereas it is 
appropriate to pursue the differentiation and to initiate 
the suppression of the preferential benefit for cenain 
countries for] (additional produas per country, desig­
nated by a footnote, meeting the first criterion and 
which have previously been reduced by 500i>; 
Whereas, however, in the multilateral trade negotia­
tions, in accordance with paragraph 6 of the Tokyo 
Declaration, the Community reaffirmed that special 
treatment should, whenever possible, be granted to the 
least developed among the developing countries: 
whereas, therefore, charges on preferential importations 
of . products originating in the least developed of the 
developing countries listed in Annex IV to this Regula­
tion should not be subject to fixed dutv free amounts 
or Community .tari ff ceilings; 
Whereas to reflect better in the preferential amounts 
the development of commercial exchange flows of the 
Community, these amounts were revised in I9S9 
with regard to the products o\' Annex 1. with a view to 
the overall improvement of the system: 
Whereas, for the same reasons, the process of revision 
was extended to the reference ba>e>. taking into consid­
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 19*0 correspond in general to 6 % of the 
total imports into the Communitv in 1987 of each of 
the products concerned originating in a third country: 
whereas products subject to reference bases corres­
ponding to 2 % only of the said importations are indi­
cated in pan 3 of Annex 11 ; 
Whereas such tariff exemptions should be reserved for 
products originating in the countrie> or territories under 
consideration, the concept of originating products" 
being determined by Regulation IEECI No 693 SS i1): 
\ » O) V. L IWS.vp. I 
Whereas the Community preference arrangements 
applicable to Yugoslavia result exclusively from the 
Agreement between the Community and the Socialist 
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ('); 
Whereas the Re'public 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: 
since 
Whereas, 1 March 1986, the Kingdom of Spain 
and the Portuguese Republic have applied the Com­
munity system of generalized preferences, in compli­
ance with Articles 178 and 365 of the Act of Accession: 
Whereas, regarding the fixed duty-free amounts 2iven 
in Annex I, the method of management was formerly 
based on an apponionment of most of the 
amounts between the Member States: whereas the ana­
lysis 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 apponionment among Member States: 
whereas the new method of management is open, funh-
ermore. to improve the utilization of the said fixed 
duty-free amounts in that it allows the covering of the 
needs there where they are seen: whereas it is appro­
priate, besides, to foresee the possibility for the Mem­
ber States to effect drawings by reason of quantities 
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 
Member 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 Slate 
when it could be used in others:

imports actually made within the fixed duty-free 
amounts. and preferential tariff limits 
opened under this Regulation, and thus provision 
should be made for the Commission to be able to take 
appropriate measures: whereas, in order that these 
regularizations do not lead to tariff ceilings being con­
siderably 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 1. provision should be made for the 
possibility of reintroducing the levying of customs 
duties in exceptional cases and in accordance with 
appropriate procedures arid rules: whereas, taking into 
account the necessity of initiating the examination of 
certain economic factors relating to the importations of 
a specific produa. it is appropriate that the reintroduc­
tion of the levying of custom duties is preceded by an 
appropriate exchange of information between the 
Member States and the Commission and an exchange 
of views: 
Whereas such methods of administration 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 (3) and (EEC) 
No 3367/87 (*): 
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(') and Commission'Regulation (EEC) No 3040 
83 (:). a procedure should be laid down to regularize 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;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
1. From 1 January to 31 December 1990 the customs 
duties of the Common Customs Tariff shall be totally 
suspended for products covered by this Regulation. 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 preferential 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. 
This Regulation applies to products of Chapters 25 to 
49 and 64 to 97 of the Common Customs Tariff, with 
the exception of products : 5. Fixed duty-free amounts , Community 
tariff ceilings and other tariff limits, shall be adminis­
tered in accordance with the pro\ isions set out below. 
— 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. SECTION I 
Provisions concerning the administration of fixed 
duty-free amounts relating to products listed in Annex I 
Article 2 
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 reference base referred to in Article 8. 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 1. 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 individual anount-
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. Article 3 
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, 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 declaration is accepted by the cus­
toms authorities, the Member state concerned shall 
draw, by means of notification to the Commission, a 
quantity corresponding to its needs. 
— 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 Corn-
munitv and Yucoslavia. 
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. 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.

Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 
of 
applying generalized tariff preferences for 1990ro textile products originating in develop­
ing countries 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES. 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, in particular Article 113. 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion ('), 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parlia­
ment (:). 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee <•'). 
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. with particular reference to fin­
ished and semi-finished industrial products from devel­
oping countries: whereas the initia! 10-year period of 
application of this system of preferences ended on 
3» December 1980: 
Whereas the positive role played by this system in 
improving access for developing countries to the mar­
kets of the preference-giving countries was recognized 
at the ninth session of the UNCTAD Special Com­
mittee on Preferences: whereas it was there agreed that 
the objective* of the generalized preferences system 
would not be fully attained by the end of 1980. that it 
should consequently be prolonged beyond the initial 
period and that an overall review of the system should 
take place in 1990: 
Whereas the Community has therefore 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 
•yntem mean» thut the offer can be withdrawn wholly 
or in pan at a later date, thus maintaining the possibil­
ity of remedying any unfavourable situations which 
might arise in the African, Czribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) as a result of the system's implementa­
tion: 
Whereas, however, most of the preference-giving coun­
tries exclude textile products from preferential treat­
ment: whereas, under the Community scheme of gener­
alized preferences, these products have always been 
covered by special arrangements pursuant to which, for 
cotton textile and similar products, the preferences 
were originally granted in the form of duty-free ceilings 
only to those beneficiaries under the generalized prefer­
ences scheme which were signatories to the Long-Term 
Arrangement regarding International Trade in Cotton 
Textiles (LTA) or which undertook. ris~à-vi: tne Com­
munity, commitments similar to those existing under 
that Arrangement: 
Whereas the Long-Term Arrangement has bet?. 
replaced from 1980 onwards by ths Arrangement 
regarding International Trade in Textiles (MFA). a.ii 
the Community has therefore, in the case of products 
covered by the MFA. reserved prefer-nce* ;r. the form 
of duty-free ceilings, for products originating in those 
countries or territories which signed Bilateral Agree­
ments, in the framework of the MFA. providing for 
quantitative limitation of their exports of certain tsxtik 
products to the Community, or in thoss countries 
which undertook simitar commitments w-ri-vu the 
Community: whereas, such commitments have been 
undertaken by Bolivia. Chile. Cosu Rica. Ecuador, 
Honduras, Iran. Nicaragua, Paragua> «rid VenerjcV: 
C) OJNoC 
t:» OJNoC 
«'I OJ.Nol whereas for these products, it is therefore desirable that 
the Community should continue to apply the general­
ized tariff preferences on the basis of the same princi­
ples until the expiry of the MFA and the Bilateral 
Agreement» concluded with certain supplier countries: 
whereas it should be prc-id*.^ that countries and terri-
tories accepting the rer.swal of such agreements or giv-
ing such commitments after the date of adoption of this 
Regulation and before 1 January 19*0 will be accorded 
preferential treatment as from ! February 1990 in res­
pect of the entire volumt provided for in thi» Regula­
tion: whereas countries and territories which accept th? 
renewal of the said agreement» or enter into similar 
commitments after I J;r.uary I99C will be accorded 
preferential treatment from the first day of the secend 
month following the date of commitment, in respect of 
a volume calculated in proportion to the period of thi 
year from the firs: dav of the month following the datt 
of the commitment untii }l December 1990" 
SH 
Whereas, in view of the special nature which trade in 
the products concerned may have, it would appear that 
the volumes of preferential imports should be deter­
mined in terms of tonnes, pieces, or pairs, as appro­
priate: 
»• 
Whereas according to the case law of the Court of Jus­
tice it would be illegal to allocate Community-quotas 
among the Member States unless compelling circum­
stances of an administrative, technical or economic 
character make it impossible to do otherwise: whereas 
in addition in cases where allocation is decided upon a 
mechanism is to he provided so as to protect the integr­
ity of the common customs tariff: (1) 
Whereas certain economic and administrative con­
straints exist which justify-in conformity with the Com­
missions proposal the continued allocation among the 
Member States of the Community quotas in the textile 
sector: 
Whereas, in order to ensure that each of the countries 
or territories referred to above has access to the prefer­
ential volumes, quotas and separate tariff ceilings for 
each beneficiary should be specified for each category 
of products, and in view of the links which continue to 
exist with international control of trade in textiles, it is 
appropriate to allocate these quotas between the Mem­
ber States according to the scale contained within the 
M FA framework, establishing for each of the Member 
States initial participation percentages as follows: 
Benelux 
Denmark 
Germany 
Greece 
Spain 
France 
Ireland 
Italy 
Portugal 
United Kingdom 9,5 % 
2.7% 
25.5% 
1.5% 
7,5% 
16,5% 
0,8% 
13,5% 
1.5% 
21,0% 
Whereas, to take account of future import trends in the 
various Member States in respect of the tariff quotas 
given in Annex 1 and to mitigate any inadequacy in the 
initial allocation, the quotas should be divided into two 
tranches, the first being apportioned among Member 
States and the second held as a reserve to cover the 
subsequent requirements of Member States which have 
exhausted their initial shares: 
Whereas, moreover, the reserve thus constituted tends 
to avoid making the system of utilization of the quota 
excessively rigid, to the detriment of each cf the devel­
oping countries concerned, and contributes to achiev­
ing the aim already mentioned of improving the gener­
alized preferences system: whereas, to this end and to 
accord importers in each Member State some degree of 
security, the first tranche of the Community quota 
should he fixed a.i 70 % of the quota volumes: Whereas for other textile products and apparel listed in 
Annex II. it appears possible to grant the preferences to 
the countries or territories which are normally benefi­
ciaries in the other industrial sectors: 
Whereas, for jute -nd coir products, it was understood 
that the preferences would be granted oniy where 
special arrangements had been made with the export­
ing developing countries: whereas these arrangements 
have hitherto concerned India and Sri Lanka for cctr 
products, and India and Thailand for jute products: 
whereas, it would rt appear desirable to maintain also 
the preferential advantage to the least-developed coun­
tries in respect of jute and co«-: 
CD Whereas if, in the course of quota period, the 
Community reserve is almost fully used, it is essential 
that the Member States return to the said reserve all 
of the unused part of their shares, in order to ensure 
th^t part of a Community tariff quota does not remain 
unused in a Member State when it could be utilized in 
others; SS 
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 
lone as this situation continues: SL 
Whereas the M FA agreement was renewed for a period 
of five years from 1 August 1986: whereas in the con­
text of the five-yearly review of the GSP scheme, the 
Community decided to initiate a revision of the textile 
scheme in 1987. with a view to, in particular, 
an improvement thereof, c. better distribution 
andmanagsnent simplifications: Whereas, according to this method of calculation, 
for each beneficiary country, the quantity opened cor­
responds in general to I % of total Community imports 
of the category of products in question, excepting the 
most competitive countries for which the quantities 
opened are 0,2 % of these imports: 
Whereas the preferential advantages are not used 
equally hy beneficiary countries and it is necessary to 
ensure a more balanced usage of these advantages, par­
ticularly for the less competitive countries, in order to 
improve preferential access for these latter countries, it 
is necessary to institute a new phase of differentiation 
between beneficiary countries of the preferential bene­
fits: this differentiation comprises withdrawal of the 
abovementioned advantages for certain product cate­
gories originating in the most competitive countries the 
criterion adopted being based on the competition capa­
city of the beneficiary country concerned, the capacity-
being expressed, for individual produa categories, by 
that country's participation in total Community 
imports: whereas for the application of this criterion a 
10% share of the total extra-EEC imports averaged 
over three years ( 1983, 1984. 1985) is taken: whereas it 
is necessary to make adjustments to this criterion 
when: Whereas the other textile products and apparel listed in 
Annex II can be attained by providing for each cate­
gory' of product individual tariff limits per beneficiary, 
corresponding in general to 5% of total*Community 
imports of the product categones in question: whereas 
allocation amongst Member States is not appropriate 
where Community measures are concerned. 
Whereas the fixed duty-free amounts and ceilings meet 
this objective: whereas, as regards fixed duty free 
amounts, it is necessary to provide for Member Sûtes 
to effect drawings on the quantities opened by means 
of quantities corresponding to their needs: 
Whereas, if a considerable baianct 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 o»v: Member State when it 
could be used in others: 
the gross national product per head of the count 
concerned is low and the country does not provide 
more than 5 % of total Community imports of tex­
tile products and apparel Whereas, in the multilateral trade negotiations, in 
accordance with paragraph 6 of the Tokyo Declaration, 
the Community reaffirmed that special treatment 
should be granted, wherever this is possible, to the 
least-developed developing countries appearing on the 
list in Annex VI: 
the total exports of textile products of the country 
concerned comprise almost exclusively a single 
product: 
Whereas particular measures are applicable, according 
to the sensitivity of products, to countries with a low 
gross national product per capita whose share in the 
total Community imports of textile products exceed Whereas the benefit of such preferential tariff treatment 
should be reserved for products originating in the coun­
tries or territories under consideration, the concept of 
'originating products' being determined in accordance 
with Regulation (EEC) No 693/88 ('): 
Whereas the Community preference arrangements 
applicable to Yugoslavia for textile products rcsu'» 
exclusively from the provisions of the Agreerur* 
between the European Economic, Community and the 
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (-); 
Whereas the level of economic development of the 
country concerned has aisc been taken into account for 
these products: (') OJ No L7T. 22 3 '9S-. p. 1.

Whereas si nig I March 1986. the Kingdom of Spain 
and the Portuguese Republic . have applied the 
Communitv system of generalized preferences, in compli­
ance with Articles 178 and 365 of the Act of Accession: 
Whereas, consequently, 
should open: for 1990 the Community 
— for each of the categories of products covered by 
Annex I. tariff quotas allocated amongst the Mem­
ber States for each of the countries and territories 
specified in column 5 of that Annex, and Com­
munity tariff ceilings at a zero rate of duty for each 
of the other countries and territories listed in 
Annex IV: the limits of the quantities opened are 
indicated in columns 6 and 7 or 8 of Annex I, 
— for each category of products shown in Annex II 
and for each of the countries and territories speci­
fied in Annex V, excluding Yugoslavia, fixed 
amounts and Community tariff ceilings at a zero 
rate of duty: the limits of the quantities opened are 
specified in columns 6 and 7 of the said Annex 11. 
— in respect of the manufactured jute and coir prod­
ucts listed in Annex III. a total suspension of cus­
toms duties for the beneficiary countnes specified 
in column 3 against each of the categories of prod­
ucts shown in column 2: 
Whereas, as regards the Community tariff quotas allo­
cated among the Member States, and the fixed duty­
free amounts: 
— it is necessary to guarantee to all importers equal 
and continuous access to the abovementioned quo­
tas and fixed duty-free amounts and uninterrupted 
application of the rates laid down for them to al! 
imports of the products concerned into all Member 
States until they have been used up. the Commission, which must, in particular, be able to 
keep under observation the extent to which charges are 
made against the fixed duty free amounts and the ceil­
ings and inform Member States thereof; whereas such 
cooperation should be particularly close in view of the 
need for the Commission to be able to take appropriate 
measures to reintroduce customs duties, when any of 
the ceilings is reached at Community 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(') and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3040/ 
83 (2)» a procedure should be laid down tc regularize 
imports actually made within the preferential tarifT lim­
its opened under this Regulation and thus provision 
should be made for the Commission to be able to take 
appropriate measures: whereas, in order to avoid such 
regularization causing excessive tarifT ceiling overruns, 
provision should at the same time be made for the 
Commission to be able to terminate set-offs: 
Whereas it is necessary to establish complete statistics 
on imports admitted in accordance with the provisions 
of this Regulation and to apply to the collection, pre­
paration and transmission of these statistics Council 
Regulations (EEC) No 1736/75 (;) and No 3367/87 («>; 
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom 
of the Netherlands and the Grand Ouchy of Luxem­
bourg are united within and jointly represented by the 
Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the 
administration of the shares allocated to that economic 
union or drawings by it on a fixed duty-free amount 
may be carried out by any one of its members. 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION 
— drawings against the quotas and fixed duty-free 
amounts can only be made for goods entered for 
free circulation accompanied by a certificate of ori­
gin: 
Whereas. j> regards the Community tariff ceilings the 
objectives sought may be achieved by applying a 
method of administration based on the charging, at 
Communitv level, of imports of the products in ques­
tion aguin>t the ceilings as and when these products are 
entered for free circulation and are accompanied by a 
certificate of origin: whereas this method of adminis­
tration must make provision for the réintroduction of 
the lev v:nu of customs duties as soon as the said ceil­
ings arc reached at Community level: 
Wherea> the methods of administration for the prod­
ucts listed in Annexes I and II call for close and parti­
cularly rapid cooperation between Member States and Article I 
1. From I January to 31 December 1990. the Common 
Customs Tariff duties shall be: 
— totally suspended within the framework of tariff 
quotas, fixed duty-free amounts and Community 
tariff ceilings in res pea of the products listed in 
Annexes 1 and II.

Proposal for b 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No / 
of 
applying generalized tariff preferences for 1990 in respect of certain agricultural products 
originating in developing countries 4> 
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 (:). 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee (J). 
Whereas within the context of UNCTAD. the Euro­
pean Economic Community offered to grant tariff pre­
ferences on certain agricultural products of Chapters 1 
to 24 of the Common Custom? Tariff which originate 
in developing countries: whereas the preferential treat­
ment proposed in that offer consists, in respect of cer­
tain goods which are subject to the trade arrangements 
laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3033'80 (*). of a 
reduction in the fixed component of the charge appli­
cable to such goods by virtue of that Regulation, and. 
in respect of products which are subject to the single 
customs duty, of a reduction in such dut) : whereas pre­
ferential imports of the product» concerned should be 
effected in general without quantitative restrictions: 
Whereas the positive role played by this system in 
improving acte» for developing countries to the mar­
kets of the preference-giving countries was recognized 
at the ninth >e>sion of the UNCTAD Special Com­
mittee on Preferences: whereas it was there agreed that 
the objectives of the generalized preferences scheme 
would not be fully achieved by the end of 1980. that 
consequently it should be prolonged beyond the initial 
period and that an overall review of the system should 
take place in 1990: Committee in particular by all the preference-giving 
countries: 
Whereas the temporary and non-binding nature of the 
system means that the offer may be withdrawn wholl) 
or in part at a later stage, thus maintaining the possibil­
ity of remedying any unfavourable situations which 
might arise, including in the African. Caribbean and 
Pacific States (ACP States) following the implementa­
tion of the system : 
Whereas experience from the application of the Com­
munity scheme in the first 15 years has shown that the 
scheme has to an appreciable extent achieved its 
intended objectives: whereas it is therefore appropriate 
to maintain its fundamental features, namely a reduc­
tion in customs duties without any restriction in the 
quantities imported for certain agricultural products 
listed in Annex II. and a reduction in customs duties 
within the limits of Community fixed reducsd-aity aiccrrts for pre­
served pineapples, extracts of coffee and tobacco: 
since Whereas. I March 1986. the Kingdom of Spain 
and the Portuguese Republic nave applied the* Com­
munity system of generalized preferences, in compli­
ance with Articles 178 and 365 of the Act of Accession : 
Whereas in the multilateral trade negotiations, in 
accordance with paragraph 6 of the Tok>o Declaration, 
the Community reaffirmed that special treatment 
should, whenever possible, be granted to the least devel­
oped among the developing countries: whereas, there­
fore, the agricultural product* listed in Annex IV, ori­
ginating in the least-developed developing countries 
which appear in the list in Annex V to this Regulation, 
should be totally exempt from customs duties: 
Whereas it is desirable therefore that the Community-
continue to apply generalized tariff preferences, in the 
context of the conclusions reached in UNCTAD and in 
accordance with the intention» expressed in the said 
(') OJ No C 
(') OJ So C 
( ) OJ No (.' 
(*> OJ No L 2" II. 1988. p I 
e\t 
in respect of each of them, without quantitative limita­
tions: whereas the benefit of such preferential terms 
should be reserved for products originating in the coun­
tries and territories under consideration, the concept of 
'originating products" being adopted in accordance 
with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 693 '88 (J); 
Whereas the Republic of Korea does not tre3t 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 practice continues: 
Whereas it is necessary to establish complete statistics 
on imports admitted in accordance with the provisions 
of this Regulation and to apply to the collection, pre­
paration and transmission of these statistics Council 
Regulations (EEC) No 1736/75 (4) and (EEC) 
No 3367/87 (»): 
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, any measure concerning the 
administration of the fixed reauced-duty 3moi*rt 
shares allocated to that economic urrion may °* cameo out 
by any one of i ts members. 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article I 
Whereas, having regard to the rules applying to the 
repayment or remission of impon or export duties, and 
in particular to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1430/ 
79(') and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3040' 
83 (2). a procedure should be laid down to regularize 
imports actually made within the fixed reduced-du^y 
amounts opened under 
this Regulation and thus provision should be made for 
the Commi'Sion to be able to take appropriate mea­
sures: 
Whereas such methods of administration call for close 
and particularly rapid cooperation between the Mem­
ber States and the Commission: I. From I January to 31 December 19/0, the Common T*ri f f

— partially or tataîty suspended in respect of the prod­
ucts listed in Annex II, 
— totally suspended in respect of the products listed in 
Annex IV. 
Spain and Portugal shall apply on the imports of prod­
ucts referred to above the customs duties established in 
accordance with Articles 178 and 365 of the 1985 Act of 
Accession. 
Whereas it is expedient that the Community should 
authorize the importation of the products referred to in

listed in Annex 111. subject to the customs duties given
