COMMISSION  OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 

Brussels,  14.09.1995 
COM(95) 429  final 

Proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EC) 

totally or partially suspending the customs duties applicable to 
certain products felling within Chapters 1 to 24 and Chapter 27 
of the Combined Nomenclature 
originating in Malta and Turkey (1995) 

(presented  by  the  Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

1. 

In June  1973  the  Council  decided  that  Malta  and Turkey  should  enjoy  a  tariff treatment  no 
less favourable than that accorded countries under the GSP. 

The  tarif! advantages  granted  to  Malta  are  in  respect  of  products  covered  by  the  GSP  and 
felling  within Chapters  1 to 24 of the Combined Nomenclature. 

In the case of Turkey, the tariff concessions also cover products felling within CN  Chapters 1 
to 24 and covered by the GSP, plus certain petroleum products of CN Chapter 27. 

Products felling within Chapters  1 to  24 originating  in Malta and Turkey are accorded full  or 
partial  suspension  of  CCT  duties.  Chapter 27  products  are  accorded  full  suspension  within 
the  limits  of  a  tariff  ceiling  which  in  1994,  after  successive  increases,  had  reached  740  250 
tonnes. 

2.  Unlike  products  felling  within  CN  Chapters  1 to 24  originating  in  Malta  and Turkey,  which 
will continue to enjoy the same advantages  as  in  1994,  from  1995 products  felling  within  CN 
Chapter 27  originating  in Turkey  should  be  accorded  full  suspension  of  CCT  duties  with  no 
quantitative  restrictions.  This  improvement  aims  at  aligning the tariff treatment  accorded  to 
Turkey with that adopted by the Council  for petroleum products under the GSP. 

The link between the tariff treatment accorded to Malta and Turkey and the GSP warrants the 
grouping together of both sets of measures in a single regulation. 

The validity of the regulation should be limited to one year, which corresponds to the  lifespan 
of GSP measures in the agricultural  sector. 

The  attached  proposal  applies  only  to  products  for  which  the  treatment  accorded  by  the 
Community  to  the  two  countries  is  no  more  favourable  than  that  granted  under  GSP  rules. 
The proposal would extend for  1995 the tariff treatment accorded to Malta and Turkey by the 
Community  in  respect  of  products  felling  within  CN Chapters  1  to 24  and  would  suspend 
CCT duties on CN Chapter 27 products originating in Turkey for  1995. 

This is the aim of the attached proposal. 

Annex: Proposal for a Council  regulation. 

A 

Proposal for a 

Council Regulation (EC) No 
of 

/95 

totally or partially suspending the customs duties applicable to certain products 
felling  within Chapters  1 to 24  and Chapter 27 of the Combined Nomenclature 
originating in Malta and Turkey (1995). 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European  Community,  and in particular  Article 113 
thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

Whereas  Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No 3448/93  of  6  December  1993  lays  down  the  trade 
arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products1; 

Whereas pursuant to Annex I to the Agreement establishing an association between the European 
Economic Commuinity and Malta2, the Community must partially suspend CCT duties applicable 
to certain products; whereas it would seem appropriate to adapt or supplement temporarily some 
of the tariff advantages provided for in the said annex; whereas accordingly in respect of the 
products listed in Annex I to this Regulation originating in Malta the Community should  from 
1 January  1995 to 31 December  1995 suspend either the fixed component of the charge applicable 
to goods covered by Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80 or the customs duty applicable to the other 
products, at the levels shown next to each item; 

Whereas pursuant to Annex 6 to the Additional Protocol laying down the conditions, arrangements 
and timetable for implementing the transitional stage referred to in Article 4 of the Agreement 
establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey3, and to 
Article 9 of the Supplementary Protocol to the Association Agreement between the European 
Economic Community and Turkey consequent on the accession of new Member States to the 
Community4, signed in Ankara on 30 June  1973 and come into force on 1  March  19865, the 
Community must totally or partially suspend the common customs tariff duties applicable to 
certain products; whereas in addition it would seem appropriate to adapt or supplement 
temporarily some of the tariff advantages provided for in the said Annex 6;  whereas accordingly 
the Community should from 1 January  1995 to 31 December  1995 suspend either the fixed element 
of duty applicable to goods covered by Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80 or the customs duty 
applicable to the other products, at the levels shown next to each item, in respect of the products 
originating in Turkey listed in Annex II hereto; 

Whereas Article 7 of the Supplementary Protocol referred to above provide for full suspension of 
the customs duties applicable to certain petroleum products of Chapter 27 of the common customs 
tariff refined in Turkey, within the limits of an annual Community tariff quota of 340 000 tonnes; 
whereas that quota has been replaced with a Community ceiling which, following successive 
increases stands at 740 250 tonnes; whereas further  adaptations to such tariff advantages, 
consisting in the full suspension of customs duties applicable to products originating in Turkey and 
listed in Annex III hereto, should be envisaged on a temporary basis, i.e. for the calendar year 
1995; 

1  OJ No L 318, 20.12.1993, p. 18. 
2  OJ No L 61,  14.3.1971, p.3. 
3  OJ No L 217, 24.12.1964, p.3687/64. 
4  OJNoL 361, 31.12.1977, p.2. 
5  OJ No L 48, 26.02.1986, p.36. 

Whereas provision should be made for the reintroduction of customs duties on the products 
concerned in exceptional circumstances;  whereas accordingly the Commission should be informed 
regularly of imports trends for such products; whereas to this end imports of such products should 
be subjected to a system of surveillance; 

Whereas the tariff advantages provided for in the measures in question should at least be 
equivalent to those accorded by the Community to developing countries under the Generalized 
System of Preferences; 

Whereas the period of validity of GSP tariff measures in respect of agricultural products is limited 
to one year, while GSP measures concerning petroleum products are multiannual; whereas in view 
of the number and the economic significance of the agricultural products concerned the period of 
validity of tariff measures for Malta and Turkey should be aligned with that applicable to GSP 
agricultural measures; whereas at the same time and for the sake of clarity such measures should 
be grouped together in a single regulation; 

Whereas it is for the Community to decide on the suspension of such duties, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION 

Article 1 

Products felling within Chapters  1 to 24 of the Combined Nomenclature originating in Malta 
and Turkey and listed in Annexes I and II, and 

Petroleum products refined in Turkey felling within Chapter 27 of the Combined 
Nomenclature and listed in Annex III 

shall be imported into the Community subject to the customs duties indicated next to each item in 
Annex III from 1 January to 31 December 1995. 

Article 2 

For the purposes of this Regulation, the rules of origins shall be those in force at any given time for 
the purposes of the agreements establishing an association between the European Community and 
Malta and the Community and Turkey respectively. 

The methods of administrative cooperation intended to ensure that products originating in Turkey 
and listed in Annexes II and HI are accorded total or partial suspension of customs duties shall be 
those established by Decision No 5/72 of the Association Council attached to Regulation (EEC) 
No 428/73 as last amended by Decision No 1/936. 

Article 3 

The duties applicable may be reintroduced in full or in part in respect of products covered by the 
arrangements set out in Article  1  imported in quantities or at prices such that they cause or may 
cause material injury to Community producers of similar products or products with which they are 
in direct competition.  Such a measure may also be adopted in case of material injury or threat of 
material injury limited to a single Community region. 

6  OJ NoL 285, 20.11.1993, p.34. 

/  rtiae 4
