Voorstel voor een 
Besluit van de Raad 
betreffende afschaffing van de rechten op bepaalde 
gedistilleerde dranken 
(door de Commissie ingediend) 

Toelichting 
Tijdens een bijzondere zitting in Singapore op 13 december 1996 hechtte de Raad zijn 
goedkeuring aan een Ministeriële Verklaring over de handel in 
informatietechnologieproducten. Voorts uitte de Raad zijn voldoening over de 
totstandkoming van een bilaterale overeenkomst ad referendum met de Verenigde Staten 
inzake versnelling van de invoering van het tijdens de Uruguay-ronde overeengekomen 
nulrecht voor 'bruine' gedistilleerde dranken en invoering van een nulrecht voor andere 
gedistilleerde dranken. 
Wat de Overeenkomst inzake informatietechnologie (ITA) betreft wordt gewezen op 
de Nieuwe Transatlantische Agenda die de EU en de VS op 3 december 1995 zijn 
overeengekomen tijdens de EU/VS-top in Madrid. De Agenda stelt onder meer: 'Gezien 
het belang van de informatiemaatschappij ondernemen wij thans specifieke pogingen om 
een overeenkomst inzake informatietechnologie te sluiten*. De Transatlantische 
Ondernemersdialoog, het overeenkomstige parallelforum van het bedrijfsleven, 
onderstreepte deze politieke toezegging door te verklaren dat een overweldigende 
meerderheid van mening is dat een verbintenis om uiterlijk in januari 2000, maar liefst 
eerder, alle tarieven af te schaffen onderdeel moet zijn van het IT A-pakket. 
Na verkennend overleg met een aantal derde landen en besprekingen in het Comité Artikel 
113 stelde de Commissie de Raad op 22 oktober 1996 voor een besluit te nemen om 
onderhandelingen met derde landen te openen over sluiting van een overeenkomst inzake 
informatietechnologie. Dit besluit werd op 15 november 1996 door de Raad goedgekeurd. 
Na plurilaterale onderhandelingen werd in Singapore op 13 december 1996 een Verklaring 
afgelegd door de Ministers van vijftien WTO-leden en kandidaten voor toetreding 
(Australië, Canada, EU, Hong Kong, IJsland, Indonesië, Japan, Korea, Liechtenstein, 
Noorwegen, Singapore, Taiwan, Turkije, Verenigde Staten, Zwitserland). De verklaring 
stelt als doel de afschaffing (in vier fasen) van de tarieven, uiterlijk in 2000, voor de 
informatietechnologieproducten die in de bijlagen expliciet zijn vermeld. Belangrijk is met 
name punt 4 van de modaliteiten bij de Verklaring: 
'De deelnemers komen bijeen zodra dit praktisch mogelijk is, echter uiterlijk op 
I april 1997, om te bekijken hoevee! aanvaardingen zijn binnengekomen en te 
beoordelen welke conclusies daaruit moeten worden getrokken. De deelnemers leggen 
de maatregelen waarin de Verklaring voorziet ten uitvoer, mits een aantal deelnemers 
dat ca. 90% van de wereldhandel1 in informatietechnologieproducten 
vertegenwoordigt tot dat moment kennis heeft gegeven van aanvaarding, en mits door 
de deelnemers overeenstemming is bereikt over de fasering. Bij de beoordeling van de 
vraag of de maatregelen waarin de Verklaring voorziet moeten worden uitgevoerd, 
kunnen de deelnemers, indien het aandeel in de wereldhandel van de deelnemers 
enigszins lager is dan 90%, in aanmerking nemen in welke mate wordt deelgenomen 
door de staten of afzonderlijke douanegebieden waarmee zij in deze producten het 
meest intensief handel drijven. Op de bijeenkomst wordt door de deelnemers 
vastgesteld of aan deze criteria is voldaan.' 
Op 31 januari 1997 werden de plurilaterale technische besprekingen waartoe de 
Verklaring had opgeroepen afgerond. Over het productbereik werd gesproken, maar de 
oorspronkelijke bijlage bij de Ministeriële Verklaring werd niet gewijzigd. 
Overeengekomen werd dat de eerste fase van het overleg over uitbreiding van het 
1 Dit percentage wordt berekend door het Secretariaat van de WTO op basis van de meest recente 
gegevens die ten tijde van de bijeenkomst beschikbaar zijn. 
productbereik op 1 oktober 1997 zal beginnen. Voorts werd ad referendum 
overeenstemming bereikt over de verzoeken om verlengde fasering van enkele van de 
oorspronkelijke ondertekenaars. Dit waren Indonesië, Korea en Taiwan. Nieuw-Zeeland 
werd deelnemer zonder te verzoeken om verlengde fasering, en Costa Rica werd 
deelnemer nadat met de andere deelnemers overeenstemming werd bereikt over het 
verzoek om verlengde fasering. 
De Raad besloot tijdens een bijzondere zitting op 13 december 1996 in Singapore dat, 
voorafgaand aan de toetsing die vóór 1 april 1997 plaats moet vinden, een afzonderlijk 
Raadsbesluit vereist is om de overeenkomst definitief te aanvaarden, zulks om de 
Gemeenschap aan haar toezeggingen te binden. Vóór dit besluit kan worden genomen, 
dienen er echter voldoende deelnemers te zijn, en dient over de fasering overeenstemming 
te zijn bereikt. Hierop vooruitlopend is bijgaand ontwerp-besluit opgesteld, uitgaande van 
de veronderstelling dat aan deze beide criteria is voldaan. Als tegen eind maart blijkt dat 
zulks niet het geval is, dient de zaak opnieuw te worden bekeken. 
Wat gedistilleerde dranken betreft is de Commissie van oordeel dat de overeenkomst die 
met de Verenigde staten is bereikt in de vorm van een Memorandum van 
overeenstemming een aanzienlijke uitbreiding van de exportmogelijkheden van de EU 
betekent. De Commissie blijft ernaar streven ook andere partijen bij deze overeenkomst te 
betrekken. 
De Commissie dient hierbij twee voorstellen voor besluiten van de Raad in.

Voorstel voor een 
Besluit van de Raad 97/0082 (ACC> 
betreffende afschaffing van de rechten op 
informatietechnologieproducten 
DE RAAD VAN DE EUROPESE UNIE, 
Gelet op het Verdrag tot oprichting van de Europese Gemeenschap, inzonderheid op 
artikel 113 in samenhang met artikel 228, lid 2, eerste zin, 
Gezien het voorstel van de Commissie, 
Overwegende dat in het kader van de Nieuwe Transatlantische Agenda, die tijdens de 
EU/VS-top van 13 december 1995 in Madrid werd goedgekeurd, besloten werd te streven 
naar sluiting van een overeenkomst inzake informatietechnologie; 
Overwegende dat de Raad, naar aanleiding van de rapportage van de Commissie over de 
verkennende besprekingen die zij met derde landen had gevoerd, op 16 november 1996 
besloot onderhandelingen te openen met derde landen met het oog op sluiting van een 
overeenkomst inzake informatietechnologie; 
Overwegende dat de Europese Gemeenschap op 13 december 1996 in Singapore haar 
goedkeuring hechtte aan de Verklaring inzake de handel in 
informatietechnologieproducten; dat deze verklaring een aantal noodzakelijke 
voorwaarden stelt voor de tenuitvoerlegging van de afschaffing van de tarieven voor 
informatietechnologieproducten; dat aan deze voorwaarden thans is voldaan, 
BESLUIT:

Gedaan te Brussel, 
Voor de Raad 
De Voorzitter 
13.12.1996 
Ministeriële verklaring inzake de handel 
in informatietechnologieproducten 
De Ministers, 
Vertegenwoordigende de volgende leden van de Wereldhandelsorganisatie (hierna 
' WTO' genoemd) alsmede staten of afzonderlijke douanegebieden die de procedure voor 
toetreding tot de WTO doorlopen, welke in Singapore zijn overeengekomen de 
wereldwijde handel in informatietechnologieproducten uit te breiden en die ruim [80]% 
van de wereldhandel in deze producten voor hun rekening nemen (hierna 'de partijen' 
genoemd): 
Australië Korea 
Canada Noorwegen 
Europese Gemeenschappen Singapore 
Hongkong Taiwan 
IJsland Turkije 
Indonesië Verenigde Staten 
Japan Zwitserland1 
Gelet op de sleutelrol die informatietechnologieproducten spelen bij de ontwikkeling 
van de informatie-industrie en de dynamische expansie van de wereldeconomie, 
Erkennende dat dient te worden gestreefd naar verhoging van de levensstandaard en 
naar uitbreiding van de productie van en de handel in goederen, 
Wensende de wereldwijde handel in informatietechnologieproducten maximaal te 
liberaliseren, 
Wensende de permanente technologische ontwikkeling van de informatietechnologie­
industrie te bevorderen, 
Gelet op de positieve bijdrage van de informatietechnologie tot de wereldwijde 
economische groei en welvaart, 
Overeengekomen de resultaten van deze onderhandelingen ten uitvoer te leggen, wat 
bijkomende concessies inhoudt naast die welke zijn vervat in de lijsten die zijn gehecht aan 
het Protocol van Marrakesh bij de Algemene Overeenkomst betreffende Tarieven en 
Handel 1994, en 
Erkennende dat de resultaten van deze onderhandelingen tevens betrekking hebben 
op enkele concessies die zijn aangeboden in de onderhandelingen welke tot het opstellen 
van de aan het Protocol van Marrakesh gehechte lijsten geleid hebben, 
Verklaren als volgt: 
1. De handelsregeling van iedere partij dient zodanig te worden aangepast dat de 
mogelijkheden voor markttoegang voor informatietechnologieproducten worden 
uitgebreid. 
2. Overeenkomstig de in de bijlage bij deze Verklaring vervatte modaliteiten worden de 
douanerechten en andere rechten en heffingen van welke aard dan ook, in de zin van 
artikel II, lid 1, onder b), van de Algemene Overeenkomst betreffende tarieven en 
i Namens de douane-unie Zwitserland en Liechtenstein. ^ 
handel 1994, door elke partij geconsolideerd en afgeschaft ten aanzien van het 
volgende: 
a. alle producten die zijn of kunnen worden ingedeeld onder de in aanhangsel A bij 
de bijlage bij deze Verklaring opgenomen artikelen van het Geharmoniseerd 
Systeem; en 
b. alle producten die in aanhangsel B bij de bijlage bij deze Verklaring zijn 
opgenomen, ongeacht of deze producten ook voorkomen in aanhangsel A; 
door middel van gelijke verlagingen van de douanerechten, te beginnen in 1997 en te 
voltooien in 2000; hierbij wordt erkend dat het in een beperkt aantal gevallen 
noodzakelijk kan zijn de verlaging van de rechten over een groter aantal jaren te 
spreiden en het aantal producten waarop dit betrekking heeft vóór de 
tenuitvoerlegging uit te breiden. 
3. De Ministers uiten hun voldoening over het grote aantal producten dat in de 
aanhangsels bij de bijlage bij deze Verklaring kon worden opgenomen. Zij dragen hun 
ambtenaren op al het mogelijke te doen om de plurilaterale technische besprekingen in 
Genève op basis van deze modaliteiten uiterlijk op 31 januari 1997 af te ronden, 
teneinde tenuitvoerlegging van deze Verklaring door een zo groot mogelijk aantal 
deelnemers te verzekeren. 
4. De Ministers verzoeken de Ministers van andere lidstaten van de WTO en van staten 
of afzonderlijke douanegebieden die momenteel de procedure voor toetreding tot de 
WTO doorlopen, om aan hun ambtenaren eveneens dergelijke instructies uit te 
vaardigen, zodat zij kunnen deelnemen aan de onder punt 3 bedoelde technische 
besprekingen en ten volle deel kunnen hebben aan de uitbreiding van de wereldhandel 
in informatietechnologieproducten. »

Modaliteiten en producten 
Elk lid van de Wereldhandelsorganisatie, of een staat of afzonderlijk douanegebied die de 
procedure voor toetreding tot de WTO doorloopt, kan aan de uitbreiding van de 
wereldhandel in informatietechnologieproducten deelnemen overeenkomstig de volgende 
modaliteiten: 
1. Elke deelnemer brengt de maatregelen die in punt 2 van de Verklaring zijn 
omschreven onder in zijn lijsten van concessies bij de Algemene Overeenkomst 
betreffende Tarieven en Handel 1994, en bovendien (ofwel onder de eigen tariefpost 
ofwel onder de 6-cijferige post van het Geharmoniseerde Systeem (GS) 1996) in het 
officiële tarief of eventuele andere gepubliceerde versies van het tarief, afhankelijk 
van de versie die doorgaans door importeurs en exporteurs wordt gebruikt. Elke 
deelnemer die geen lid is van de WTO legt deze maatregelen autonoom ten uitvoer en 
brengt deze onder in de WTO-lijst inzake markttoegang voor goederen. 
2. Hiertoe doet elke deelnemer zo spoedig mogelijk, doch uiterlijk op 1 maart 1997, aan 
alle andere deelnemers een document toekomen met a) de details betreffende de wijze 
waarop de passende tariefbehandeling in de WTO-lijst van concessies wordt 
ingebracht, en b) een overzicht van de GS-posten voor de in aanhangsel B vermelde 
producten. Deze documenten zullen uiterlijk op 1 april 1997 op basis van consensus 
worden geëvalueerd en goedgekeurd. Zodra de evaluatie van een dergelijk document 
is voltooid, wordt het aangemeld als wijziging op de lijst van de desbetreffende 
deelnemer, overeenkomstig het besluit van 26 maart 1980 betreffende procedures 
voor wijziging en rectificatie van de lijsten van tariefconcessies (BISD 27S/25). 
a. De concessies die een deelnemer tot wijziging van zijn lijst van concessies 
voorstelt dienen tot consolidering en afschaffing van alle douanerechten en 
andere rechten of heffingen, van welke aard ook, op 
informatietechnologieproducten. Een en ander geschiedt op de volgende wijze: 
i. indien door de deelnemers niet anders wordt overeengekomen, worden de 
douanerechten afgeschaft door middel van verlaging van het recht in gelijke 
stappen. Tenzij de deelnemers anders overeenkomen, consolideert elke 
deelnemer uiterlijk op 1 juli 1997 alle tarieven voor de in de aanhangsels 
genoemde producten. De eerste verlaging van het tarief treedt uiterlijk op 1 
juli 1997 in werking, de tweede uiterlijk op 1 januari 1998 en de derde 
uiterlijk op 1 januari 1999; de afschaffing van de douanerechten dient 
uiterlijk op 1 januari 2000 te zijn voltooid. De deelnemers komen overeen te 
bevorderen dat de douanerechten vóór deze tijdstippen autonoom worden 
afgeschaft. Het verlaagde recht wordt in elke fase afgerond op de eerste 
decimaal; 
ii. de afschaffing van alle andere rechten en heffingen in de zin van artikel II, lid 
1, onder b), van de Algemene Overeenkomst dient uiterlijk op 1 juli 1997 te 
zijn afgerond; uitzonderingen hierop zijn mogelijk indien deze zijn vermeld in 
het document van de deelnemer dat ter evaluatie aan de andere deelnemers 
wordt voorgelegd. 
b. De wijzigingen in de lijst die door een deelnemer worden voorgesteld ter 
uitvoering van de consolidatie en afschaffing van de douanerechten op 
informatietechnologieproducten dienen op de volgende wijze te worden verricht: 7 
i. met betrekking tot de GS-posten in aanhangsel A worden waar nodig 
subposten gecreëerd in het nationale tarief zoals dat in de lijst is opgenomen; 
ii. met betrekking tot de producten in aanhangsel B wordt bij de lijst een bijlage 
verstrekt waarin alle producten in aanhangsel B zijn opgenomen; in de 
bijlage worden de volledige GS-posten voor deze producten vermeld, ofwel 
in de vorm van het nationale tarief ofwel in de vorm van de 6-cijferige GS-
code. 
Elke deelnemer brengt de wijzigingen die hij heeft voorgesteld, zodra deze in werking 
zijn getreden, aan in zijn eigen nationale tariefstelsel. 
De deelnemers komen periodiek bijeen, onder auspiciën van de Raad voor de Handel 
in Goederen, ter beoordeling van het overzicht van producten in de aanhangsels. 
Beoordeeld wordt of de technologische ontwikkelingen, de ervaring met de 
toepassing van de tariefconcessies of wijzigingen van de GS-nomenclatuur aanleiding 
geven tot het opnemen van nieuwe producten in de aanhangsels. Overleg wordt 
gepleegd over niet-tarifaire handelsbelemmeringen met betrekking tot 
informatietechnologieproducten. Dit overleg laat de rechten en plichten uit hoofde 
van de WTO-overeenkomst onverlet. 
De deelnemers komen bijeen zodra dit praktisch mogelijk is, echter uiterlijk op 1 april 
1997, om te bekijken hoeveel aanvaardingen zijn binnengekomen en te beoordelen 
welke conclusies daaruit moeten worden getrokken. De deelnemers leggen de 
maatregelen waarin de Verklaring voorziet ten uitvoer, mits een aantal deelnemers dat 
ca. 90% van de wereldhandel2 in informatietechnologieproducten vertegenwoordigt 
tot dat moment kennis heeft gegeven van aanvaarding, en mits door de deelnemers 
overeenstemming is bereikt over de fasering. Bij de beoordeling van de vraag of de 
maatregelen waarin de Verklaring voorziet moeten worden uitgevoerd, kunnen de 
deelnemers, indien het aandeel in de wereldhandel van de deelnemers enigszins lager 
is dan 90%, in aanmerking nemen in welke mate wordt deelgenomen door de staten 
of afzonderlijke douanegebieden waarmee zij in deze producten het meest intensief 
handel drijven. Op de bijeenkomst wordt door de deelnemers vastgesteld of aan deze 
criteria is voldaan. 
De deelnemers komen zo vaak als nodig bijeen, doch uiterlijk op 30 september 1997, 
om eventuele onderlinge afwijkingen ten aanzien van de indeling van 
informatietechnologieproducten te onderzoeken; prioriteit hebben daarbij de 
producten in aanhangsel B. De deelnemers komen overeen, dat zij er gezamenlijk naar 
zullen streven om waar dit nuttig is tot een gemeenschappelijke indeling voor deze 
producten te komen binnen de bestaande GS-nomenclatuur; daarbij wordt rekening 
gehouden met de interpretaties en uitspraken van de Internationale Douaneraad (ook 
bekend als Werelddouaneorganisatie (WCO)). In gevallen dat er een afwijkende 
indeling blijft bestaan, overwegen de deelnemers bij de WCO een gezamenlijk 
voorstel in te dienen om de bestaande GS-nomenclatuur aan te passen, ook als deze 
maatregel in strijd is met de Algemene Overeenkomst. 
De deelnemers zijn zich ervan bewust dat artikel XXIII van de Algemene 
Overeenkomst hierop van toepassing is, in die gevallen dat voordelen voor een 
deelnemer die WTO-lid is direct of indirect worden uitgehold of tenietgedaan door 
tenuitvoerlegging van deze Verklaring, als gevolg van de toepassing van een

tijde van de bijeenkomst beschikbaar zijn. H 
maatregel door een andere deelnemer die WTO-lid is, ongeacht of deze maatregel in 
strijd is met de bepalingen van de Algemene Overeenkomst. 
7. Wanneer een deelnemer verzoekt om overleg Over de bovengenoemde verbintenissen, 
wordt dit verzoek door elke deelnemer in welwillende overweging genomen. Dit 
overleg laat de rechten en verplichtingen uit hoofde van de WTO-overeenkomst 
onverlet. 
8. Deelnemers die optreden onder auspiciën van de Raad voor de Handel in Goederen 
stellen andere leden van de WTO alsmede staten of afzonderlijke douanegebieden die 
de procedure voor toetreding tot de WTO doorlopen in kennis van deze modaliteiten, 
en plegen overleg om de deelname van de laatstgenoemden aan de uitbreiding van de 
handel in informatietechnologieproducten op basis van deze Verklaring te 
bevorderen. 
9. Voor de toepassing van deze modaliteiten wordt verstaan onder 'deelnemer': de 
leden van de WTO dan wel staten of afzonderlijke douanegebieden die de procedure 
voor toetreding tot de WTO doorlopen, die het in lid 2 genoemde document uiterlijk 
op 1 maart 1997 hebben overgelegd. 
10. Deze bijlage staat open voor aanvaarding door alle leden van de WTO en alle staten 
of afzonderlijke douanegebieden die de procedure voor toetreding tot de WTO 
doorlopen. Van de aanvaarding wordt de Directeur-generaal schriftelijk in kennis 
gesteld; deze stelt alle deelnemers hiervan in kennis.

Memorandum van Overeenstemming 
ex 2208: gedistilleerde dranken, likeuren en andere dranken die 
gedistilleerde alcohol bevatten 
Zoals in Singapore overeengekomen, hebben wij gedetailleerde onderhandelingen gevoerd 
over de afschaffing van de rechten op bepaalde gedistilleerde dranken. 
Zodra onze respectieve interne procedures zijn afgerond, zullen de EG en de VS, behalve 
voor rum (2208.40), waarop de speciale bepalingen in de bijlage van toepassing zijn, hun 
rechten voor onderstaande GS-96-posten zoals die op 1 juli 1997 van toepassing zullen 
zijn, in vier gelijke fasen afschaffen, te beginnen op 1 juli 1997, gevolgd door verdere 
verlagingen op 1 januari 1998, 1 januari 1999 en 1 januari 2000.

Financieel memorandum 
1. Voorstel voor een besluit van de Raad betreffende afschaffing van de rechten op 
informatietechnologieproducten en bepaalde gedistilleerde dranken. 
2. Begrotingslijn: hoofdstuk 12, artikel 120 
3. Juridische grondslag: artikel 113 
4. Omschrijving: Het voorstel vloeit voort uit het besluit van de Raad om 
onderhandelingen te openen met derde landen over sluiting van een Overeenkomst 
inzake Informatietechnologie (ITA), en de politieke toezegging van de ministers op 
de Ministeriële Conferentie in Singapore op 13 december 1996. 
Het voorstel beoogt de afschaffing van de rechten op 
informatietechnologieproducten en bepaalde gedistilleerde dranken, te voltooien in 
2000. 
5. Aard van de opbrengsten: derving van opbrengsten uit rechten op uit derde landen 
ingevoerde producten. 
6. Wijziging van de opbrengsten: 
De afschaffing van de rechten op de invoer van informatietechnologieproducten 
geschiedt in vier gelijke jaarlijkse fasen, van 1 juli 1997 tot 1 januari 2000. De 
berekening van de opbrengstenderving is als volgt: het verschil tussen het 
overeengekomen tarief van de Uruguay-ronde (voor elk jaar) en het tarief dat in het 
kader van de ITA is overeengekomen (voor hetzelfde jaar), toegepast op het volume 
van de invoer in 1995 (zie bijlage). Het gaat bij de derving als gevolg van de ITA 
dus uitsluitend om de extra inkomstenderving De resulterende cijfers zijn als volgt: 
01.07.1997 242,6 miljoen ecu 
01.01.1998 643,3 miljoen ecu 
01.01.1999 891,3 miljoen ecu 
01.01.2000 1241,8 miljoen ecu 
Voor gedistilleerde dranken is de inkomstenderving als volgt (op basis van de invoer 
in EG 15 in 1995 en gebaseerd op ad-valorem-equivalenten (ave) voor alle invoer uit 
landen met een meestbegunstigingsstatus in 1995): 
01.07.1997 0,5 miljoen ecu 
01.01.1998 1,6 miljoen ecu 
01.01.1999 2,0 miljoen ecu 
01.01.2000 2,5 miljoen ecu 
01.01.2001 1,9 miljoen ecu 
01.01.2002 1,2 miljoen ecu 
01.01.2003 0,7 miljoen ecu 
Het jaargemiddelde bedraagt 1,625 miljoen ecu (over 6.5 jaar), in totaal 10,5 
miljoen ecu. 
De waardevermindering in termen van de traditionele eigen middelen wordt 
gefinancierd door een extra beroep te doen op de BNP-middelen.
