NOTE
The South African Government has taken note ofthe niipor tarjce
the European Communities attach toappropriate and prompt
action bythe Government ofSouth Africa tobring its current
import control measures into full conformiLy with its GATT
obligations .
Inthis regard the South African Government wishes toconfirm
its policy toliberalise its quantitative restrictions
progressively as Ltsucceeds with its negotiations under
Article XXVIII ,which are aimed atsecuring the necessary
freedom togrant areasonable measure oftariff protection
onaselective basis todeserving South African industries .
Asthe European Communities are aware ,South Africa 'spolicy
ofselective tariff protection isbased solely onthe
recommendations of the South African Board ofTrade and
Industries .The granting ofprotection ,therefore ,only
takes place after the Board ofTrade and Industries has
examined the industry concerned and recommended the level
oftariff protection itconsiders sufficient and necessary
inthe circumstances pertaining tothat particular industry .
Itwill beappreciated that the handling ofalarge number
ofapplications ofthis nature isatime-consuming exercise .
Bearing inmind therefore ,the time element that might be
involved infinalising the applications received bythe
Board ofTrade and Industries ,the South African Government
undertakes toguarantee the free issuance ofimport licences -
a.with respect tonew concessions ,upon the application
oftariff changes resulting from the conclusion of
the Article XXVIII :5negotiations which are the
subject ofthe attached report ;and
b.with respect toconcessions which have been modified ,
aswell asthe concessions which are tobewithdrawn
from Schedule XVIII ,upon the application ofatariff
change inrespect ofeach individual item .
It isunderstood that this isaninterim arrangement until
the necessary domestic requirements toadd the items tothe
free list can bemet .It isthe intention ofSouth Africa
toexpedite the approval ofthese requirements .
This undertaking isgiven without prejudice toSouth Africa 's
future rights under the General Agreement .Itisunderstood
that theEuropean Communities reserve their rights under the
General Agreement wiLhrespect toquantitative restrictions
not specifically covered bythis undertaking .
