Allegato I
RELAZIONE DALLA COMMISSIONE ALCONSIGLIO
suinegoziati con ilSudafrica anorma dell' articolo XXVIII
delGATT ,inordine alla modifica oalritiro delle
concessioni tariffarie dal suo elenco XVIII
1.Mediante unaserie dinotifiche alGATT (documenti segreti nn.200,222,
233,234,235,236,239,240,241,248,252 e253),ilSudafrica aveva
informato leparti contraenti circa leproprie intenzioni dimodificare
odiritirare alcune delle concessioni tariffarie figuranti nel suo
elenco XVIII .
2.Perciascuna diqueste notifiche ,laComunità poteva vantare diritti di
negoziato (diritti diprima negoziatrice ,diprincipale fornitrice odi
fornitrice sostanziale ).Essa haquindi chiesto eottenuto dinegoziare ,
perottenere sufficienti compensazioni per ilpregiudizio subito .
3.Inunprimo tempo ,leofferte dicompensazione presentate dalle autorità
sudafricane alla Comunità erano affatto insufficienti sia sulpiano quali­
tativo (riduzioni didazi suvecchie onuove concessioni troppo esigue
onuove offerte diconsolidamento didazi poco attraenti ),sia sulpiano
del volume discambi (riconoscimento solo parziale del nostro volume di
scambi come fornitore con uninteresse sostanziale onuove offerte "stri-
minzite "sulvolume discambi ).Unadifficoltà notevole proveniva dalla
necessità ditrovare un'offerta chetenesse conto ,almeno inparte ,dei
pregiudizi subiti daciascuno dei vari Stati membri colpiti .
4.Durante lunghi negoziati ,ritardati inoltre dalparallelo svolgimento dei
negoziati commerciali multilaterali delcosiddetto Tokyo Round ,ilSudafrica
hapresentato successivamente vari miglioramenti ,sfociati inun'offerta
finale ritenuta accettabile dalla Comunità .

NOTE
The South African Government hus taken note ofthe importance
the European Communities attach toappropriate and prompt
action bythe Government ofSouth Africa tobring its current
import control measures into full conformity with its GATT
obi igatLons .
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 bas istodeserving 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
tcikes 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 XXVI II :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 the European Communities reserve their rights under the
General Agreement wiIhrespect toquantitative restrictions
not specifically covered bythis undertaking .
