Förslag 
till 
RÅDETS BESLUT 
om avskaffande av tullar på vissa alkoholhaltiga drycker 
(framlagda av Komissionen) 

MOTIVERING 
Vid sitt särskilda möte i Singapore den 13 december 1996 godkände rådet (1) en 
ministerförklaring avseende handel med informationsteknikprodukter samt (2) 
välkomnade det bilaterala avtal som överenskommits ad referendum med USA om att 
påskynda införandet av Uruguayrundans nolltullsatser för "brun sprit" och nolltullsatser 
för andra alkoholhaltiga drycker. 
Vad gäller avtalet om informationsteknik, påminns rådet om att EU och USA den 3 
december 1995 inom ramen för toppmötet mellan dem i Madrid upprättade en ny 
transatlantiska agenda, i vilken det bl.a. konstateras att parterna med tanke på 
informationssamhällets betydelse inleder en särskild satsning på att försöka få till stånd ett 
avtal om informationsteknik. Den transatlantiska affärsdialogen som är ett parallellt forum 
för industrin gav ytterligare tyngd åt detta politiska åtagande genom sitt uttalande att den 
överväldigande majoriteten är av åsikten att IT-paketet bör innehålla ett åtagande om att 
avskaffa alla tullar till januari år 2000, eller tidigare. 
Som ett resultat av förberedande samråd med ett antal tredje länder och diskussioner inom 
den särskilda kommitté som föreskrivs enligt artikel 113 i EG-fördraget föreslog 
kommissionen rådet den 22 oktober 1996 att fatta beslut om att inleda förhandlingar med 
tredje länder om ingående av ett avtal om informationsteknik. Rådet fattade beslut om 
detta den 15 november 1996. 
Resultatet av de plurilateral förhandlingarna blev en ministerförklaring som utfärdades i 
Singapore den 13 december 1996 av ministrar från 15 WTO-medlemmar eller länder som 
ansöker om anslutning (Australien, Enskilda tullområdet Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, 
Europeiska gemenskaperna, Hongkong, Island, Indonesien, Japan, Korea, Kanada, 
Liechtenstein, Norge, Singapore, Schweiz, Turkiet, USA). I förklaringen anges som mål 
att till år 2000 avskaffa tullar (och det föreskrivs sänkningar av tullsatserna i fyra lika stora 
steg) för de informationsteknikprodukter som i detalj förtecknas i tilläggen. Följande text i 
punkt 4 i förklaringens föreskrifter bör särskilt uppmärksammas: 
"Deltagarna skall sammanträda så snart så är möjligt och inte under några 
omständigheter senare än den 1 april 1997, för att se vilka godkännanden som 
tagits emot och för att bedöma vilka slutsatser som kan dras därav. Deltagarna 
skall genomföra de åtgärder som föreskrivs i förklaringen under förutsättning att 
deltagare som står för uppskattningsvis 90 % av världshandeln med 
informationsteknikprodukter vid det laget har anmält att de godkänner 
förklaringen och att man har nått en överenskommelse om uppdelningen av 
etapperna som tillfredsställer deltagarna. Om den del av världshandeln med 
informationsteknikprodukter som deltagarna står för skulle ligga något under 90 
% har deltagarna vid bedömningen av huruvida de åtgärder som föreskrivs i denna 
förklaring skall genomföras eller ej möjlighet att beakta vilka av de deltagande 
Denna procentandel skall beräknas av WTO-sekretariatet på grundval av de aktuella uppgifter som 
finns att tillgå när det är dags för sammanträdet. 
2/8 
länderna eller enskilda tullområdena som står för den största delen av deltagarnas 
eget handelsutbyte med sådana produkter. Vid detta sammanträde skall deltagarna 
fastställa huruvida dessa kriterier har uppfyllts." 
Den 31 januari 1997 genomfördes de plurilateral tekniska diskussioner som föreskrivs i 
ministerförklaringen. Det diskuterades vilka produkter som skulle omfattas men det 
ursprungliga tillägget till ministerförklaringen ändrades inte. Man kom överens om att den 
första omgången av samråd om vilka ytterligare produkter som skulle omfattas skulle 
börja den 1 oktober 1997 och man nådde en överenskommelse ad referendum om vissa av 
de ursprungliga signatärstaternas begäran om att sänkningarna delas upp i fler etapper. De 
inbegriper: Indonesien, Korea och Enskilda tullområdet Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu. 
Nya Zeeland, som inte begärt fler etapper och Costa Rica tillkom som nya deltagare efter 
överenskommelse med de övriga deltagarna. 
Vid ett särskilt möte i Singapore den 13 december 1996 slog rådet fast att det skulle 
fordras ännu ett rådsbeslut före den granskning som planeras äga rum före den 1 april 
1997 för att slutligt godkänna avtalet. Detta är nödvändigt för att binda gemenskapen 
avseende dess åtaganden. Emellertid är ett sådant beslut avhängigt av bestämmelserna 
angående handelns omfattning och av överenskommelsen om antalet etapper. För att 
bereda väg för detta utarbetas bifogade förslag till beslut med utgångspunkt från att båda 
dessa kriterier uppfylls. Om kriterierna inte har uppfyllts när mars månad går mot sitt slut, 
måste ärendet ses över igen. 
Vad gäller alkoholhaltiga drycker anser kommissionen att det avtal som slutits med USA i 
form av ett avtalsmemorandum avsevärt skulle kunna stärka gemenskapens 
exportpotential. Kommissionen kommer att fortsätta sina ansträngningar för att ansluta 
andra parter till detta avtal. 
Kommissionen förelägger härmed rådet två förslag till rådets beslut.

Förslag till 
RÅDETS BESLUT 
av den 97/0082 (ACC) 
om avskaffande av tullar på informationsteknikprodukter 
EUROPEISKA GEMENSKAPERNAS RÅD HAR FATTAT DETTA BESLUT 
med beaktande av Fördraget om upprättandet av Europeiska gemenskapen, särskilt artikel 
113 jämförd med artikel 228.2 första meningen i detta, 
med beaktande av kommissionens förslag, och 
med beaktande av följande: 
I den nya transatlantiska agenda som antogs vid toppmötet mellan EU och USA i Madrid 
den 13 december 1995 beslutades det att försök skulle göras för att sluta ett avtal rörande 
informationsteknik. 
Mot bakgrund av kommissionens rapporter om de förberedande samråden med tredje land 
beslutade rådet den 16 november 1996 att inleda förhandlingar med tredje land för att 
sluta ett avtal om informationsteknik. 
Den 13 december 1996 godkände kommissionen ministerförklaringen om handel med 
informationsteknikprodukter. I deklarationen fastställs ett antal förutsättningar för att

1. De enskilda parternas handelspolitik skall utvecklas på ett sådant sätt att 
informationsteknikprodukternas möjligheter att vinna inträde på marknaden förstärks. 
2. De enskilda parterna skall, i enlighet med de föreskrifter som fastställts i bilagan Ull 
denna förklaring, binda och avskaffa tullar och andra avgifter av vilket slag det vara må, 
enligt artikel II. 1.b i Allmänna tull- och handelsavtalet 1994, avseende följande produkter: 
a) Alla produkter som har klassificerats (eller kan klassificeras) med ett 
nummer i Harmoniserade systemet (1996) (HS) och som finns förtecknade i tillägg A Ull

BILAGA 
Föreskrifter och produkter som omfattas 
Alla medlemmar av Världshandelsorganisationen (WTO) och alla stater eller fristående 
tullområden vars anslutning till Världshandelsorganisationen är under förhandling kan delta 
i utvidgningen av den världsomspännande handeln med informationsteknikprodukter i 
enlighet med följande föreskrifter: 
1. Var och en av deltagarna skall införliva de åtgärder som anges under punkt 2 i 
denna förklaring med den egna listan till Allmänna tull- och handelsavtalet 1994 och vidare, 
i enlighet med den egna tulltaxenivån eller med den sexsiffriga nivån i Harmoniserade 
systemet (1996) (HS), antingen i den egna officiella tarifflistan eller i någon annan offentlig 
version av tarifflistan, beroende på vilken av dessa som vanligtvis används av importörer och 
exportörer. Var och en av de deltagare som inte är medlemmar av WTO skall genomföra 
dessa åtgärder autonomt, i väntan på att anslutningen till WTO blir klar, och skall införliva 
dessa åtgärder med sin WTO-lista över marknadstillträde för varor. 
2. För detta ändamål skall varje deltagare så snabbt som möjligt och senast den 1 mars 
1997 lägga fram ett dokument för alla de övriga deltagarna vilket skall innehålla a) en 
detaljerad beskrivning av vilka föreskrifter för en korrekt tullbehandling som kommer att 
införas i den egna WTO-listan över medgivanden, och b) en detaljerad förteckning över HS-
nummer för de produkter som anges i tillägg B. Dessa dokument kommer att granskas och 
godkännas genom ett enhälligt beslut och granskningsförfarandet skall vara avslutat senast 
den 1 april 1997. Så fort granskningsförfarandet för ett dokument av detta slag är avslutat 
skall dokumentet läggas fram som en ändring av den berörda deltagarens lista i enlighet med 
beslut av den 26 mars 1980 om förfarandet för ändring och rättning av listor över 
tullmedgivanden (BISD 27S/25 ( Decision of 26 March 1980 on Procedures for Modification 
and Rectification of Schedules of Tariff Concessions)). 
a) Genom de medgivanden som de enskilda deltagarna föreslår som ändringar 
av den egna listan skall alla tullar och andra avgifter av vilket slag det vara må på 
informationsteknikprodukter bindas och undanröjas enligt följande: 
i) Dessa tullar och andra avgifter skall undanröjas genom att satserna sänks 
etappvis i lika stora steg, utom i de fall då deltagarna beslutar annorlunda. Om inte 
deltagarna beslutar annorlunda skall var och en av deltagarna senast den 1 juli 1997 binda 
alla tullsatser för de produkter som finns förtecknade i tillägget. Den första sänkningen av 
tullsatser skall träda i kraft senast den 1 juli 1997, den andra sänkningen av tullsatser senast 
den 1 januari 1998 och den tredje sänkningen av tullsatser skall vara genomförd senast den 1 
januari 2000. Deltagarna är överens om att uppmuntra att tullar avskaffas autonomt tidigare 
än dessa datum. För varje etapp skall den sänkta tullsatsen avrundas till en decimal. 
ii) Avskaffandet av andra avgifter av vilket slag det vara må, vilket behandlas 
i artikel II.l b i Allmänna tull- och handelsavtalet, skall ha genomförts den 1 juli 1997, utom 
i de fall då det anges något annat i en deltagares dokument, vilket föreläggs de övriga 
deltagarna för granskning. 
b) De ändringar av den egna listan som en deltagare skall föreslå för att 
åstadkomma att tullar och andra avgifter på informationsteknikprodukter binds och 
undanröjs skall resultera i att detta mål uppnås, vilket skall ske genom 
i) att det, där så är lämpligt, vad gäller de HS-nummer som finns förtecknade 
i tillägg A skapas underavdelningar i deltagarens lista på nationell tulltaxenivå, och 
ii) att det, vad gäller de produkter som anges i tillägg B, görs ett tillägg till 
deltagarens lista, vilket skall omfatta alla produkter i tillägg B och vilket skall innehålla 
3/5 
13.12.96 
detaljerade HS-nummer för dessa produkter, antingen i enlighet med den nationella 
tulltaxenivån eller i enlighet med Harmoniserade systemets sexsiffriga nivå. 
Var och en av deltagarna skall omedelbart ändra sin nationella tarifflista så att den 
överensstämmer med de föreslagna ändringarna så snart dessa har trätt i kraft. 
3. Deltagarna skall sammanträda regelbundet inom ramen för Varuhandelsrådet för att 
se över vilka produkter som skall omfattas av tillägget och genom ett enhälligt beslut komma 
överens om huruvida tillägget bör ändras för att omfatta ytterligare produkter, mot bakgrund 
av den tekniska utvecklingen, de erfarenheter som gjorts vid tillämpningen av 
tullmedgivandena och förändringar i HS-nomenklaturen. Vidare skall deltagarna samråda 
kring icke-tariffära hinder för handeln med informationsteknikprodukter. Dessa samråd skall 
hållas utan att detta påverkar tillämpningen av rättigheter och skyldigheter i enlighet med 
WTO-avtalet. 
4. Deltagarna skall sammanträda så snart så är möjligt och inte under några 
omständigheter senare än den 1 april 1997, för att se vilka godkännanden som tagits emot 
och för att bedöma vilka slutsatser som kan dras därav. Deltagarna skall genomföra de 
åtgärder som föreskrivs i förklaringen under förutsättning att deltagare som står för 
uppskattningsvis 90 % av världshandeln2 med informationsteknikprodukter vid det laget har 
anmält att de godkänner förklaringen och att man har nått en överenskommelse om 
uppdelningen av etapperna som tillfredsställer deltagarna. Om den del av världshandeln med 
informationsteknikprodukter som deltagarna står för skulle ligga något under 90 % har 
deltagarna vid bedömningen av huruvida de åtgärder som föreskrivs i denna förklaring skall 
genomföras eller ej möjlighet att beakta vilka av de deltagande länderna eller enskilda 
tullområdena som står för den största delen av deltagarnas eget handelsutbyte med sådana 
produkter. Vid detta sammanträde skall deltagarna fastställa huruvida dessa kriterier har 
uppfyllts. 
5. Deltagarna skall sammanträda så ofta som är nödvändigt och inte senare än den 30 
september 1997 för att uUöna om det föreligger några skillnader deltagarna emellan vad 
gäller klassificeringen av informationsteknikprodukter, i första hand de produkter som anges 
i tillägg B. Deltagarna har enats om den gemensamma målsättningen att, där så är lämpligt, 
försöka åstadkomma ett gemensamt klassifikationssystem för dessa produkter inom ramen 
för den befintliga HS-nomenklaturen, med beaktande av Tullsamarbetsrådets (även kallat 
Världstullorganisationen eller WCO) tolkningar och avgöranden. Skulle det kvarstå någon 
skillnad i hur produkterna klassificeras skall deltagarna överväga om det är möjligt att 
gemensamt lämna in ett förslag till WCO om ändring av den befintliga HS-nomenklaturen 
eller om jämkning mellan olika metoder för att tolka HS-nomenklaturen. 
6. Deltagarna har kommit överens om att artikel XXIII i Allmänna tull- och 
handelsavtalet skall användas för annullering eller begränsning av de fördelar som en WTO-
medlem direkt eller indirekt kan vinna på genomförandet av förklaringen som resultat av att 
en annan WTO-medlem tillämpar en åtgärd, oavsett om åtgärden strider mot det Allmänna 
tull- och handelsavtalet eller ej. 
7. De enskilda deltagarna skall inta en välvillig hållning till andra deltagares begäran 
om samråd kring de ovan angivna åtagandena. Dessa samråd skall inte påverka de 
rättigheter och skyldigheter som fastställts i WTO-avtalet. 
8. Deltagarna skall inom ramen för Varuhandelsrådet informera de övriga 
medlemmarna av WTO och de stater eller enskilda tullområden, vars anslutning till WTO är 
under förhandling, om dessa föreskrifter och inleda samråd för att underlätta dessas 
medverkan i den på förklaringen baserade utvidgningen av den världsomspännande handeln 
med informationsteknikprodukter.

9. Med begreppet "deltagare" avses i dessa föreskrifter medlemmar av WTO eller 
stater eller enskilda tullområden vars anslutning till WTO är under förhandling, vilka lägger 
fram det under punkt 2 beskrivna dokumentet senast den 1 mars 1997. 
10. Alla medlemmar av WTO eller alla stater eller enskilda tullområden vars anslutning 
till WTO är under förhandling har rätt att ge sitt godkännande av denna bilaga. 
Godkännandet skall anmälas skriftligen till generaldirektören, som meddelar de övriga 
deltagarna.

I enlighet med vad som överenskommits i Singapore har vi inlett förhandlingar om 
avskaffande av tullar på vissa alkoholhaltiga drycker. 
Om inte annat följer av att våra respektive interna förfaranden avslutas kommer 
Europeiska gemenskaperna och USA att avskaffa de tullar som enligt planerna skall träda 
i kraft den 1 juli 1997 för de HS96-nummer som finns förtecknade nedan, med undantag 
för rom (2208.40) för vilken de särskilda bestämmelser som fastställts i bilagan är 
tillämpliga. Avskaffandet av tullar skall ske genom sänkningar i fyra lika stora etapper 
med början den 1 juli 1997 följt av ytterligare sänkningar den 1 januari 1998, 1 januari 
1999 och 1 januari 2000.

FINANSIERINGSÖVERSIKT 
1. Åtgärdens beteckning 
Förslag till rådets beslut om avskaffande av tullar på informationsteknikprodukter och 
vissa alkoholhaltiga drycker. 
2. Berörda budgetposter 
Kapitel 12/Artikel 120 
3. Rättslig grund 
Artikel 113 
4. Beskrivning av åtgärden 
Förslaget är följden av rådets beslut att inleda förhandlingar med tredje land i avsikt att 
sluta ett avtal om informationsteknik och av de politiska åtaganden som ministrarna gjorde 
vid ministerkonferensen i Singapore den 13 december 1996. 
Förslaget gäller avskaffande av tullar på informationsteknikprodukter och vissa 
alkoholhaltiga drycker till år 2000. 
5. Klassificering av utgifter och inkomster 
Bortfall av inkomst från tullar som tas ut på import från tredje land. 
6. Ändring av inkomstnivån 
Avskaffandet av tullar som tas ut på import av informationsteknikprodukter kommer att 
genomföras i fyra etapper per år från den 1 juli 1997 till den 1 januari 2000. Bortfallet av 
inkomst från tullar beräknas som skillnaden mellan den tullnivå som fastställs i 
Uruguayrundan ( för vart och ett av åren) och den sats som fastställs i avtalet om 
informationsteknik (för samma år) avseende importvolymen för 1995 (se medföljande 
bilaga). Följaktligen är inkomstbortfallet till följd av avtalet om informationsteknik endast 
ett bortfall av ytterligare inkomster. De slutliga sammanlagda summorna är följande. 
1 juli 1997: 242,6 miljoner ecu 
1 januari 1998: 643,3 miljoner ecu 
1 januari 1999: 891,3 miljoner ecu 
1 januari 2000: 1241,8 miljoner ecu 
På grundval av import under 1995 till EG i dess sammansättning av 15 medlemsstater, 
samt på grundval motsvarande värde för all import från länder med status som mest 
gynnad nation, kommer inkomstbortfallet för alkoholhaltiga drycker att bli följande: 
1 juli 1997: 0,5 miljoner ecu

Det årliga genomsnittet är 1 625 000 (6,5 år) och den totala summan är 10,5 miljoner ecu. 
Värdeminskningen vad gäller traditionellt egna medel skall finansieras genom ytterligare 
medel från bruttonationalprodukten.
