Proposta di 
DECISIONE DEL CONSIGLIO 
relativa all'abolizione dei dazi doganali su alcune 
bevande alcoliche 
(presentate dalla Commissione) 

RELAZIONE 
Alla riunione straordinaria svoltasi a Singapore il 13 dicembre 1996, il Consiglio ha 
approvato una dichiarazione ministeriale sugli scambi dei prodotti delle tecnologie 
dell'informazione e ha accolto favorevolmente l'accordo bilaterale concluso ad 
referendum con gli Stati Uniti sull'accelerazione delle misure previste dall'Uruguay Round 
per i dazi nulli sugli alcool "bruni" e su altre bevande alcoliche. 
Per quanto riguarda l'accordo sulle tecnologie dell'informazione (ATI), il Consiglio 
rammenta che il 3 dicembre 1995, nell'ambito del vertice UE/USA svoltosi a Madrid, 
l'Unione europea e gli Stati Uniti hanno instaurato una nuova agenda transatlantica in cui 
si afferma, tra l'altro: uconsiderata l'importanza della società dell'informazione ci stiamo 
adoperando in maniera specifica per cercare di concludere un accordo sulle tecnologie 
dell'informazione". La sede di discussione industriale parallela e associata, il dialogo 
commerciale transatlantico, ha rafforzato questo impegno politico ribadendo che, secondo 
una stragrande maggioranza FATI dovrebbe comprendere un impegno a eliminare tutte le 
tariffe doganali entro e non oltre il gennaio del 2000. 
Il 22 ottobre 1996, in seguito a colloqui esplorativi con alcuni paesi terzi e discussioni 
nell'ambito del comitato speciale previsto dall'articolo 113 del trattato, la Commissione ha 
proposto al Consiglio di adottare una decisione relativa all'apertura dei negoziati con i 
paesi terzi per concludere un accordo sulle tecnologie dell'informazione. Tale decisione è 
stata adottata dal Consiglio il 15 novembre 1996. 
Dai negoziati multilaterali è scaturita una dichiarazione dei ministri dei 15 membri 
dell'OMC o candidati all'adesione (Australia, Canada, Taiwan, Unione europea, Hong 
Kong, Islanda, Indonesia, Giappone, Corea, Liechtenstein, Norvegia, Singapore, Svizzera, 
Turchia, Stati Uniti) riuniti a Singapore il 13 dicembre 1996. La dichiarazione prevede che 
le tariffe doganali per i prodotti delle tecnologie dell'informazione elencati in dettaglio 
negli allegati siano abolite entro il 2000 (e prevede le riduzioni in quattro quote uguali). Si 
richiama il particolare l'attenzione al paragrafo 4 delle modalità della dichiarazione: 
"I partecipanti si riuniranno quanto prima e comunque non dopo il 1° aprile 1997 
per riesaminare la situazione delle accettazioni ricevute e valutare le conseguenti 
conclusioni. Essi attueranno le misure previste dalla dichiarazione a condizione che 
un gruppo di partecipanti che rappresenti all'incirca il 90% del commercio 
mondiale1 dei prodotti delle tecnologie dell'informazione abbiano notificato a tale 
data la propria accettazione, e che lo scaglionamento deciso sia soddisfacente per i 
partecipanti. Durante la valutazione dell'opportunità di attuare le misure previste 
dalla dichiarazione, qualora la percentuale degli scambi mondiali rappresentata dai 
partecipanti sia inferiore al 90% degli scambi mondiali di prodotti delle tecnologie 
dell'informazione, i partecipanti potranno tener conto del livello di partecipazione 
degli Stati o dei singoli territori doganali che rappresentano per essi la quota 
principale dei loro scambi di tali prodotti. Nel corso della riunione, i partecipanti 
determineranno se i criteri siano stati soddisfatti." 
ì Tale percentuale sarà calcolata dal segretariato dell'OMC sulla base dei dati più recenti disponibili al 
momento dell'incontro. 
Le discussioni tecniche multilaterali previste dalla dichiarazione ministeriale sono state 
completate il 31 gennaio 1997. È stato discusso l'elenco dei prodotti interessati, ma 
l'allegato originale della dichiarazione ministeriale non è stato modificato. Si è deciso che 
la prima serie di consultazioni sull'estensione dell'elenco dei prodotti verrà avviata il 1° 
ottobre 1997, ed è stato concluso un accordo ad referendum sulle richieste di 
"scaglionamento prolungato" presentate da alcuni dei primi firmatari, segnatamente 
Indonesia, Corea e Taiwan. Hanno aderito la Nuova Zelanda, che non ha chiesto lo 
"scaglionamento supplementare" e la Costa Rica, dopo che la sua richiesta di 
"scaglionamento supplementare" era stata accolta dagli altri partecipanti. 
In una riunione straordinaria svoltasi a Singapore il 13 dicembre 1996, il Consiglio ha 
deciso che prima di procedere al riesame previsto entro e non oltre il 1° aprile 1997, 
occorreva una sua ulteriore decisione per approvare definitivamente l'accordo. Tale 
decisione sarebbe indispensabile per vincolare la Comunità ai suoi impegni. Essa dipende 
tuttavia dalle disposizioni riguardanti il volume degli scambi e dall'accordo sullo 
"scaglionamento". Per preparare il terreno, viene presentato il progetto di decisione 
allegato partendo dal presupposto che entrambi i criteri siano stati soddisfatti. Se ciò non 
avverrà entro la fine di marzo, la questione andrà riesaminata. 
Per quanto riguarda le bevande alcoliche, la Commissione ritiene che l'accordo concluso 
con gli Stati Uniti sotto forma di memorandum d'intesa migliorerà sensibilmente il 
potenziale di esportazione dell'Unione europea. La Commissione continuerà ad adoperarsi 
per fare aderire altri parti all'accordo. 
Essa presenta quindi al Consiglio due proposte di decisione del Consiglio.

TECNOLOGIE DELL'INFORMAZIONE 
/ ministri, 
in rappresentanza dei seguenti membri dell'Organizzazione mondiale del commercio 
("OMC") e Stati o territori doganali a sé stanti in via di adesione all'OMC, che 
hanno convenuto a Singapore di ampliare gli scambi mondiali di prodotti delle 
tecnologie dell'informazione, e che rappresentano oltre l'[80]% del commercio 
mondiale di tali prodotti (in appresso denominati "le parti"): 
Australia Islanda 
Canada Norvegia 
Comunità europee Singapore 
Corea Stati Uniti 
Giappone Svizzera1 
Hong Kong Taiwan 
Indonesia Turchia 
considerando il ruolo chiave del commercio dei prodotti delle tecnologie 
dell'informazione nello sviluppo delle industrie dell'informazione e nell'espansione 
dinamica dell'economia mondiale, 
riconoscendo come obiettivi il miglioramento del tenore di vita e l'accrescimento della 
produzione e dello scambio delle merci; 
desiderando raggiungere la massima libertà a livello di commercio internazionale dei 
prodotti informatici; 
desiderando incoraggiare il continuo sviluppo tecnologico dell'industria delle tecnologie 
dell'informazione su scala mondiale; 
coscienti del contributo positivo apportato dalle tecnologie dell'informazione alla crescita 
e al benessere generale; 
avendo convenuto di dare applicazione ai risultati di tali negoziati, che comprendono 
concessioni addizionali rispetto a quelle comprese negli elenchi allegati al protocollo di 
Marrakech dell'accordo generale sulle tariffe doganali e sul commercio del 1994; 
A nome dell'unione doganale tra Svizzera e Liechtenstein. 
riconoscendo che i risultati di questi negoziati concernono anche alcune concessioni 
offerte nell'ambito dei negoziati che hanno portato alla definizione degli elenchi allegati al 
protocollo di Marrakech, 
DICHIARANO quanto segue. 
1. Il regime commerciale di ciascuna parte deve evolvere in modo tale da favorire le 
opportunità di accesso al mercato dei prodotti delle industrie dell'informazione. 
2. In conformità delle modalità stabilite nell'allegato della presente dichiarazione, le 
parti si impegnano ad eliminare i dazi doganali e tutti i diritti e imposizioni di 
qualsiasi genere, ai sensi dell'articolo II, paragrafo 1, lettera b), dell'accordo generale 
sulle tariffe e sul commercio del 1994, nei confronti di: 
a) tutti i prodotti classificati (o classificabili) nelle voci del sistema armonizzato 
(1996) ("SA") elencati nell'allegato A dell'appendice della presente 
dichiarazione, e; 
b) tutti i prodotti specificati nell'allegato B dell'appendice della presente 
dichiarazione, inclusi o no nell'allegato A; 
mediante riduzioni uguali delle aliquote dei dazi doganali a partire dal 1997 e fino al 
2000, riconoscendo che, in determinate circostanze, potrebbe essere necessario 
protrarre i tempi di tali riduzioni e, prima della loro attuazione, ampliare la copertura 
dei prodotti. 
3. I ministri esprimono soddisfazione in merito all'ampia copertura di prodotti delineata 
negli allegati dell'appendice della presente dichiarazione. Essi chiedono ai rispettivi 
funzionari di compiere sinceri sforzi per portare a termine le discussioni tecniche 
plurilaterali in corso a Ginevra sulla base di queste modalità e incaricano detti 
funzionari di completare i lavori entro il 31 gennaio 1997, in modo da assicurare 
l'attuazione della presente dichiarazione da parte del maggior numero possibile di 
partecipanti. 
4. I ministri invitano i ministri degli altri membri dell'OMC, e degli Stati o territori 
doganali a sé stanti in via di adesione all'OMC, a dare istruzioni simili ai loro 
funzionari, al fine di farli partecipare alle discussioni tecniche di cui al precedente 
paragrafo 3, e contribuire pienamente all'espansione del commercio mondiale dei 
prodotti delle tecnologie dell'informazione. 
Allegati: Modalità e copertura dei prodotti 
Allegato A: elenco delle voci SA 
Allegato B: elenco dei prodotti 
APPENDICE 
Modalità e copertura dei prodotti 
Qualsiasi membro dell'Organizzazione mondiale del commercio, o qualsiasi Stato o 
territorio doganale a sé stante in via di adesione all'OMC, può partecipare all'espansione 
del commercio mondiale dei prodotti delle tecnologie dell'informazione nel rispetto delle 
seguenti modalità: 
1. Ciascun partecipante riporta le misure descritte nel paragrafo 2 della dichiarazione 
nel proprio elenco concernente l'accordo generale sulle tariffe doganali e il 
commercio del 1994 e, inoltre, nel proprio tariffario doganale oppure a livello di 
sistema armonizzato ("SA") (1996) a sei cifre nella tariffa ufficiale o in qualsiasi 
altra versione pubblicata di tale tariffario normalmente utilizzata dagli importatori 
ed esportatori. I partecipanti non membri dell'OMC attuano queste misure in 
modo autonomo, in attesa del completamento dell'adesione all'OMC, e 
traspongono tali misure nei loro elenchi di merci per l'accesso al mercato 
nell'ambito dell'OMC. 
2. A tal fine, ciascun partecipante fornisce a tutti gli altri partecipanti, quanto prima e 
comunque entro il 1° marzo 1997, un documento contenente a) dettagli sulla 
modalità di pubblicazione del trattamento tariffario nel suo elenco delle 
concessioni OMC e, b) un elenco dettagliato delle voci SA interessate per i 
prodotti specificati nell'allegato B. Tali documenti sono revisionati e approvati su 
base consensuale; la procedura di revisione deve essere completata entro il 1° 
aprile 1997. Al completamento di tale procedura, il documento rivisto viene 
presentato come una modifica all'elenco del partecipante interessato, 
conformemente alla decisione del 26 marzo 1980 sulle procedure di modifica e 
rettifica degli elenchi delle concessioni tariffarie (BISD 27S/25). 
a) Le concessioni che ciascun partecipante intende proporre come modifiche 
al proprio elenco devono essere vincolanti e prevedere l'eliminazione di 
tutti i dazi doganali, diritti e imposizioni di qualsiasi genere, applicabili ai 
prodotti delle tecnologie dell'informazione, secondo le seguenti modalità: 
i) l'abolizione di tali dazi doganali deve avvenire mediante riduzioni 
uguali delle aliquote doganali, salvo accordo diverso tra le parti. Se 
non diversamente convenuto dai partecipanti, ciascun partecipante 
deve rendere vincolanti tutte le tariffe concernenti le voci di cui 
negli allegati, al più tardi entro il 1° luglio 1997, e rendere effettiva 
la prima riduzione del dazio entro il 1° luglio 1997, la seconda entro 
il 1° gennaio 1998, e la terza entro il 1° gennaio 1999; 
l'eliminazione dei dazi doganali deve essere effettivamente 
completata entro il 1° gennaio 2000. I partecipanti convengono di 
incoraggiare l'eliminazione autonoma dei dazi doganali prima di tali 
date. Le aliquote ridotte devono, in ciascuna fase, essere 
arrotondate alla prima cifra decimale; e 
ii) l'abolizione dei diritti e delle imposizioni ai sensi dell'articolo II, 
paragrafo 1, lettera b), dell'accordo generale sulle tariffe e sul 
commercio, deve essere completata entro il 1° luglio 1997, fatto 
8 
salvo quanto eventualmente specificato nel documento trasmesso 
dal partecipante interessato agli altri partecipanti per revisione. 
b) La modifica al proprio elenco, che deve essere proposta da un partecipante 
al fine di ufficializzare il proprio impegno, ed abolire i dazi doganali sui 
prodotti delle tecnologie dell'informazione deve essere effettuata: 
i) per le voci SA dell'allegato A creando, eventualmente, suddivisioni 
nel proprio elenco a livello della tariffa nazionale, e; 
ii) per i prodotti dell'allegato B, aggiungendo al proprio elenco un 
allegato comprendente tutti i prodotti dell'allegato B al fine di 
specificare per tali prodotti le voci SA dettagliate a livello della 
tariffa nazionale oppure a livello della voce SA a sei cifre. 
3. I partecipanti si riuniscono periodicamente sotto l'egida del Consiglio per gli 
scambi di merci al fine di adattare la copertura dei prodotti specificati negli allegati 
con l'obiettivo di convenire, mediante consenso, sull'eventuale aggiunta di 
prodotti negli allegati alla luce degli sviluppi tecnologici, delle esperienze acquisite 
in materia di concessioni tariffarie, o di avvenute modifiche della nomenclatura SA 
e per consultarsi sulle barriere non tariffarie agli scambi di prodotti delle tecnologie 
dell'informazione. Tali consultazioni non pregiudicano i diritti e gli obblighi 
previsti nell'accordo OMC. 
4. I partecipanti si riuniscono quanto prima, e comunque entro il 1° aprile 1997, per 
analizzare la situazione delle acccttazioni ricevute e per stabilire conclusioni in 
merito. I partecipanti attuano le azioni previste nella dichiarazione a condizione 
che un numero di partecipanti corrispondente a circa il 90 per cento del commercio 
mondiale2 dei prodotti delle tecnologie dell'informazione abbia notificato la 
propria accettazione, e che i partecipanti abbiano raggiunto un accordo sul 
frazionamento delle riduzioni. Nel valutare l'applicabilità delle azioni previste nella 
dichiarazione, qualora la percentuale del commercio mondiale rappresentata dai 
partecipanti sia di poco inferiore al 90 per cento del commercio mondiale di 
prodotti delle tecnologie dell'informazione, i partecipanti possono prendere in 
considerazione l'ampiezza della partecipazione di Stati o territori doganali a sé 
stanti che rappresentano una parte sostanziale del proprio commercio di tali 
prodotti. Nel corso di tale riunione i partecipanti stabiliscono se i summenzionati 
criteri sono stati rispettati. 
5. I partecipanti si riuniscono ogniqualvolta necessario, ed al più tardi il 30 settembre 
1997, per discutere eventuali divergenze in materia di classificazione di prodotti 
delle tecnologie dell'informazione, iniziando dai prodotti dell'allegato B. I 
partecipanti convengono sull'obiettivo comune di arrivare, se del caso, ad una 
classificazione comune di tali prodotti nella nomenclatura SA esistente, tenendo 
conto delle interpretazioni e delle disposizioni del Consiglio di cooperazione 
doganale (conosciuto anche come "Organizzazione mondiale delle dogane", o 
"OMD"). Qualora non sia possibile accordarsi per risolvere una divergenza in 
Tale percentuale è calcolata dal segretariato dell'OMC in base ai dati più recenti disponibili al 
momento della riunione. 
9 
materia di classificazione, i partecipanti valutano se presentare congiuntamente 
all'OMC una proposta di aggiornamento della nomenclatura SA esistente oppure 
una richiesta di soluzione della controversia per quanto riguarda l'interpretazione 
della nomenclatura SA. 
6. I partecipanti concordano che l'articolo XXIII dell'accordo generale disciplini 
l'annullamento o la limitazione di benefici derivanti direttamente o indirettamente 
ad un partecipante membro all'OMC dall'attuazione della presente dichiarazione a 
seguito all'applicazione, da parte di un altro partecipante membro dell'OMC, di 
qualsiasi misura, indipendentemente dal fatto che tale misura sia o meno in 
conflitto con le disposizioni dell'accordo generale. 
7. Ciascun partecipante prende in considerazione con la massima disponibilità tutte le 
richieste di consultazione presentate da altri partecipanti per quanto concerne gli 
impegni summenzionati. Tali consultazioni si svolgono senza pregiudicare i diritti e 
i doveri stabiliti nell'accordo OMC. 
8. I partecipano che operano sotto l'egida del Consiglio per gli scambi di merci 
informano gli altri membri dell'OMC e gli Stati o i territori doganali a sé stanti in 
via di adesione all'OMC in merito a tali modalità ed avviano consultazioni al fine 
di facilitarne la partecipazione all'ampliamento del commercio dei prodotti delle 
tecnologie dell'informazione sulla base della dichiarazione. 
9. Nell'ambito delle presenti disposizioni, il termine "partecipante" indica i membri 
dell'OMC o gli Stati o i territori doganali a sé stanti in via di adesione all'OMC, 
che forniscono il documento descritto nel paragrafo 2 entro il 1° marzo 1997. 
10. Il presente allegato è aperto ad accettazione da parte di tutti i membri dell'OMC e 
di tutti gli Stati o territori doganali a sé stanti in via di adesione all'OMC. Le 
accettazioni sono notificate per scritto al direttore generale, il quale le comunica a 
tutti i partecipanti.

SCHEDA FINANZIARIA 
1. Proposta di decisione del Consiglio relativa all'abolizione dei dazi doganali sui prodotti 
delle tecnologie dell'informazione e su alcune bevande alcoliche. 
2. Voce di bilancio: capitolo 12/articolo 120. 
3. Base giuridica: articolo 113. 
4. Descrizione: la proposta si colloca sulla scia della decisione del Consiglio di avviare i 
negoziati con alcuni paesi terzi per concludere un accordo sulle tecnologie 
dell'informazione, nonché dell'impegno politico assunto dai ministri partecipanti alla 
conferenza di Singapore del 13 dicembre 1996. 
Essa riguarda l'eliminazione dei dazi doganali sui prodotti delle tecnologie 
dell'informazione e su alcune bevande alcoliche entro il 2000. 
5. Tipo di entrate: perdita di proventi derivanti dai dazi pagati sulle importazioni dai paesi 
terzi. 
6. Modifica del livello di entrate: 
I dazi da versare sulle importazioni di prodotti delle tecnologie dell'informazione 
saranno aboliti in quattro quote annuali uguali dal 1° luglio 1997 al 1° gennaio 2000. 
La perdita di proventi derivanti dai dazi viene calcolata come differenza tra il livello 
tariffario concordato dell'Uruguay Round (per ogni anno) e l'aliquota concordata nel 
quadro dell'ATI (per lo stesso anno), applicabile a un volume di importazioni 
equivalente a quello del 1995 (cfr. allegato). In conclusione, la perdita di proventi 
dell'ATI equivale soltanto alla perdita supplementare di proventi. Si ottengono 
pertanto i totali seguenti: 
1.7.1997: 242,6 MECU 
1.1.1998: 643,3 MECU 
1.1.1999: 891,3 MECU 
1.1.2000: 1241,8 MECU 
Per quanto riguarda gli alcolici, sulla base delle importazioni dell'UE15 del 1995, 
nonché di equivalenti ad valorem per tutte le importazioni dalle nazioni più favorite nel 
1995, la perdita di proventi derivanti dai dazi sarà pari a: 
1.1.1997: 0,5 MECU 
1.1.1998: 1,6 MECU 
1.1.1999: 2 MECU 
1.1.2000: 2,5 MECU 
1.1.2001: 1,9 MECU 
70 
1.1.2002: 1,2 MECU 
1.1.2003: 0,7 MECU 
La media annuale sarà pari a 1, 625 MECU (6,5 anni) per un totale di 10,5 MECU. 
La diminuzione, in termini di valore, delle risorse proprie tradizionali sarà compensata 
da un maggiore ricorso alle risorse del PNL.
