EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

The guidelines for the Community's new ten-year  scheme of generalized  preferences,  proposed 
by  the  Commission  in  its  communication  to  the  Council  and  Parliament  of  1  July  1994  and 
approved  by the Council  in the  industrial  scheme adopted  on  19 December  1994, have  still  to 
be  applied  in  the  agricultural  sector  because  the  implications  of  the  outcome  of  the  Uruguay 
Round for that sector are still being studied. 

This  proposal  is  intended  to  remedy  that  situation  by  extending  to  the  agricultural  sector  the 
GSP principles already applied to industrial products. 

As  in  the  industrial  scheme,  the  proposed  new  agricultural  scheme  pursues  four  main 
objectives: 

simplification,  with  preferential  duties  being  modulated  by  a mechanism  involving  four 
tiers of tariff  reductions; 
the reweighting of the scheme in favour  of the countries most in need of it by means of a 
system of graduation by major production sector; 
the neutrality of the new scheme's impact compared with the previous one; 
encouraging  the  beneficiary  countries  to  develop  progressive  social  and  environmental 
policies by means of additional incentives going beyond neutrality. 

The  above  objectives  are  shared  with  the  industrial  scheme.  There  is,  however,  a  further 
objective  more  specific  to  the  agricultural  sector,  namely  that  of  extending  the  range  of 
products  covered  by the new  scheme.  In the  light  of the changing  conditions  of  international 
trade  in  agricultural  products,  particularly  since  the  Uruguay  Round,  and  the  beneficiary 
countries'  repeated  requests  over  the  years,  both  bilaterally  and  within  Unctad's  special 
committee on preferences, that the coverage of the agricultural scheme be extended, the limited 
scope of the current scheme is no longer justified. 

To achieve these five  objectives,  the machinery  established  for  the industrial  scheme has been 
taken over practically unchanged for the agricultural  sector: 

The  levels  of  tariff  reduction  are  the  same  as  in  the  industrial  sector  and  have  been 
divided  into four  sensitivity  categories  (15% reduction  for  very  sensitive  products, 30% 
for  sensitive  products,  65%  for  semi-sensitive  products  and  100%  for  non-sensitive 
products)  according  to the same criteria,  i.e. they are more or less the levels of  reduction 
agreed  in  the Uruguay  Round  (with  some  slight  adjustments,  notably  those  made  in  the 
fisheries  sector to take account of the specific  features  of the common fisheries  policy). 

Some  beneficiary  countries  will  gradually  see the exclusion  of  major  production  sectors 
on  the  basis  of  the  same  criteria  as  in  the  industrial  scheme  and  by  means  of  the  same 
formula, namely a country's relative specialization adjusted  by its development index. 
Social  and  environmental  clauses  and  a withdrawal  clause  have  been  drafted  in  exactly 
the same way as in the industrial scheme. 

The  rate  at  which  the  graduation  mechanism  will  come  into  use  will  mirror  that  of  the 
industrial  scheme,  adhering  fully  to  the  established  principle  whereby  graduation  is  applied 
incrementally,  with  full  implementation  being  preceded  by  a  transition  period  during  which 
graduation  will be  applied  at only  50% of the preferential  margin.  However,  this  50% period 
will  start  at  the  entry  into  force  of  the  new  scheme,  with  the  final  stage  beginning  on 
1 January  1999.  This  transition  period  will  enable  the  countries  concerned  to  adjust  to  the 
change  in  circumstances;  it  will  also  provide  an  opportunity  to  check  the  impact  of  partial 
graduation on the countries not affected  and, hence, compliance with the principle of  neutrality 
in the period following  the entry into force of full  graduation. 

Note  also  that  the  scheme  will  run  to  30 June  1999,  six  months  after  the  industrial  scheme 
ends, to take account of its belated entry into force on  1  July 1996. 

The range of  agricultural  products  covered  by the proposed  scheme has been  extended  on  the 
strength  of  a  single  criterion,  namely  that  of  covering  all  but  the  most  sensitive  products, 
which, broadly speaking, are those which were subject  to a levy or a system of reference  prices 
before  the  Uruguay  Round  agreement  came  into  force.  This  criterion  is  not,  however, 
applicable  to  fisheries  products;  in  view  of  the  special  nature  of  Community  policy  in  that 
sector,  the extension  of  the  scheme  has  been  limited  to fisheries  products  for  which  Uruguay 
Round concessions are 50% higher than the tariff  reduction. 

This  proposal  contains  no  substantial  changes  to  the  special  arrangements  for  the  least 
advanced  countries  and  for  the  Andean  and  Central  American  countries  combating  drugs. 
Small changes must, however, be made to the drugs arrangements owing to: 

the change to the general  rate for  shrimp (from  4.5% to 5.4% in  1996), which means that 
the  product  must  be  restored  to  the  special  arrangements  to ensure  two  things:  that  the 
Andean  and Central  American  countries  lose none of the access they previously  enjoyed 
and that the offer  is neutral overall; 

trends  in  exports  from  the  Central  American  countries,  which  call  for  the  concessions 
offered  them to be aligned on those offered  to the Andean countries; 
encouraging  developments  in  the  inspection  arrangements  for  Panamanian-flagged 
vessels,  which  enable  the  fisheries  arrangements  granted  to  other  Central  American 
countries to be extended to Panama. 

All  in all, the proposed  scheme's  impact  in terms of  lost customs  revenue  is neutral  compared 
with the current scheme.  Its longer-term effects,  especially  from  1999, the year full  graduation 
enters  into  force,  remain  to  be  seen.  They  will  be  monitored  by the  Generalized  Preferences 
Committee  using  the  surveillance  procedure  and  be  influenced  by  factors  whose  impact  is 
difficult  to foresee  at this stage, namely: 

the effects  of the first stage of graduation on the exports of countries not affected  by it; 
the growth  in exports, including  that resulting  from  successive  stages of Uruguay  Round 
reductions in the future. 

It must  nevertheless  be underlined  that  this  major  exercise  in  monitoring  the neutrality  of  the 
new  scheme's  effects  will  have  to  be  conducted  without  taking  account  of  the  additional 
preferences  that  will  in  due  course  emerge  as  a  result  of  the  special  incentive  arrangements, 
which must be in addition to - and in no way instead of - the general preferences. 

Such is the purpose of this proposal, which  the Council  is asked to adopt in sufficient  time  for 
it to enter into force on  1  July  1996.

Council Regulation (EC) No ... 
applying a multiannual scheme of generalized tariff  preferences 
from  1  July  1996 to 30 June 1999 
in respect of certain agricultural products 
originating in developing countries 

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(1), 

Having regard to the opinion of the European  Parliament^, 

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3)> 

Whereas, in  accordance with  its offer  made  within  the context  of the United Nations  Conference  on 
Trade  and  Development  (Unctad),  the  European  Community  opened  generalized  tariff  preferences 
commencing  in  1971 in respect  of  certain  agricultural  products  of Chapters  1 to 24 of  the  Common 
Customs Tariff  from  developing  countries; whereas the initial  ten-year period  of application  of  such 
preferences  ended  on 31 December  1980 and  a second  ten-year period ended  on  31 December  1990, 
though the scheme has been kept in being unchanged until now; 

Whereas  the positive  role  played  by  this  system  in  the past  in  improving  access  for  the  developing 
countries  to  the  markets  of  preference-giving  countries  is  accepted  and  justifies  its  continued 
existence  for  a time, in  step with  other priority  measures, including  the multilateral  liberalization  of 
trade; 

Whereas  in  communications  to the  Council  dated  6 July  1990 and  1  June  1994 the  Commission  set 
out  its  recommendations  for  a  further  ten-year  period  of  application  of  its  scheme  of  generalized 
preferences; 

Whereas  the Treaty  on European  Union  has  lent  a fresh  impetus  to Community  development  policy 
as an aspect of the Union's foreign  policy,  with priority  given to the sustainable economic  and  social 
development  of  the  developing  countries  and  their  smooth  and  gradual  integration  into  the  world 
economy;

(3^ Opinion  delivered  on 

(not  yet  published  in  the  Official  Journal) 

Whereas  the  Community  scheme  of  generalized  preferences  should  accordingly  become  more 
development-oriented,  focusing  on  the  countries  which  have  most  need  of  it,  i.e.  the  poorest 
countries; whereas the scheme should  be complementary  to WTO instruments  and  should  foster  the 
integration  of  developing  countries  into  the  world  economy  and  the  multilateral  trading  system; 
whereas the giving of preferences  should accordingly be seen as a transitional  measure, to be used as 
needed and phased out when the need is considered no longer to exist; 

Whereas  the  new  offer  aims  at  a  level  of  liberalization  which,  compared  with  the  existing 
scheme, is neutral  in terms of the preferential  margin's overall  impact on the potential  volume 
of preferential  trade, without prejudice  to special incentive arrangements; 

Whereas the new offer  must also take account of certain sectors or products which are sensitive 
for Community  agriculture; whereas sensitive sectors should be protected against import  surges 
solely by means of a dual mechanism for modulating preferential  tariff  margins and, in the case 
of emergencies, a safeguard clause; 

Whereas  in order to improve  access to the Community  market  and increase  the actual  take-up 
of  preferences  by  moderately-developed  or  less-developed  countries,  a  system  of  graduation 
should be used to transfer preferential  margins from  more-advanced countries to less-developed 
ones; 

Whereas graduation should be applied sensibly, by country and sector; 

Whereas  sector/country  graduation  combines  a  development  criterion,  expressed  as  a 
development  index  reflecting  a country's  per  capita  income  and  the  level  of  its  manufactured 
exports as compared with those of the Community, with a measurement of relative  agricultural 
specialization expressed as a specialization index based on the ratio of the beneficiary  country's 
share of total Community  imports in general to its share of total Community  imports in a given 
sector; whereas combined application of these two criteria should make it possible to adjust  the 
crude results of the specialization  index, in terms of the sectors to be excluded, in line with the 
level of development; 

Whereas the sector/country  graduation  system should also apply to beneficiary  countries whose 
exports  of  products  covered  by  the  GSP  in  a  given  sector  exceed  25%  of  all  beneficiaries' 
exports of those products in that sector, irrespective of their level of development; 

Whereas  the  graduation  mechanism  does  not  apply  to  countries  whose  exports  to  the 
Community  of products covered by the GSP in a given sector do not exceed 2% of  beneficiary 
countries' exports to the Community  in that sector; 

Whereas the statistical  reference  year for  applying  graduation  criteria will be  1994 in so far  as 
data is available at the time the Commission  proposal is drawn up; 

Whereas  it  seems  equitable  for  the  most  advanced  beneficiary  countries  to  be excluded  from 
entitlement  under  this  Regulation  as  from  1  January  1998  on  the  basis  of  clearly  defined, 
objective  criteria  for  which  the  Commission  will  make  appropriate  proposals  before 
1 January  1997; 

Whereas  countries  undertaking  effective  programmes  to  combat  drug  production  and 
trafficking  should, however, remain entitled  to the more favourable  arrangements granted them 
under  the  previous  scheme;  whereas  the  countries  concerned  will  therefore  continue  to  enjoy 
duty-free  access provided they continue their efforts  to combat drugs; 

Whereas provision  should also be made for  special types of assistance additional to the general 
preferential  scheme aimed at supporting the introduction of progressive social or environmental 
policies in certain moderately-advanced  developing countries; 

Whereas beneficiary  countries which so desire and which do not yet have the means of meeting 
the  costs  should  be  encouraged  to  introduce  effective  policies  for  the  protection  of  workers' 
rights,  with  particular  regard  to  the  right  to  organize  and  the  prohibition  of  child  labour; 
whereas  special  arrangements  should  therefore  be  established  for  products  manufactured  in 
conditions  conforming  to standards  laid  down  by the International  Labour  Organization  (ILO) 
in countries  whose legislation  contains  rules  of similar scope and substance which  are actually 
applied; 

Whereas beneficiary  countries  should  also be encouraged to undertake effective  environmental 
protection  policies by means of incentives  for  products and production  methods  internationally 
approved  as  consistent  with  the  objectives  set  out  in  international  conventions  on  the 
environment  and  in  Agenda 21 ;  whereas  to  that  end  special  incentive  arrangements  should 
initially be introduced for products complying with international standards; 

Whereas the special incentive arrangements  take the form  of an additional  preferential  margin, 
the  degree  and  the  arrangements  for  the  implementation  of  which  will  be  decided  by  the 
Council  in  1997  on  the  basis  of  a  proposal  from  the  Commission  and  the  outcome  of 
discussions  in  international  forums  on  the  relationship  between  trade  and  workers'  rights  and 
between trade and the environment; 

Whereas  special  circumstances  may  call  for  the  temporary  withdrawal  of  some  or  all  of  a 
country's advantages under the scheme; whereas such circumstances include any form of  forced 
labour, exports of goods made by prison  labour,  inadequate controls on the export  or transit of 
drugs  and  on  money  laundering,  discrimination  against  the  Community  in  a  beneficiary's 
legislation  or failure  to apply the administrative  cooperation  methods necessary for  the scheme 
to function  properly;  whereas  this  should  also  apply  to any failure  to comply  with  obligations 
entered into in the Uruguay Round to meet agreed market-access objectives; 

Whereas  temporary  withdrawal  of  entitlement  must  be  preceded  by  a  procedure  enabling  all 
interested parties to make their views heard; 

Whereas at the end of such a procedure the decision on any such temporary withdrawal  should 
be taken in the context of overall relations  with the beneficiary  country concerned; whereas the 
Community  interest  may  in  some  cases  be  better  served  by  having  the  Council  discuss  that 
context,  which  is  likely  to  include  aspects  unrelated  to  trade;  whereas  the  Council  should 
therefore  retain the power to decide on the  withdrawal  of  all or part of  a country's  entitlement 
under the scheme; 

Whereas  it  would  be  illogical  to  accord  preferences  in  respect  of  products  subject  to 
anti-dumping  or  anti-subsidy  measures  unless  such  measures  reflected  the  impact  of  the 
preferential  arrangements; 

Whereas the preferential  rates of  duty  to be  applied  under this Regulation  should normally  be 
calculated  on the basis of the conventional  rate of duty of the Common  Customs Tariff  for  the 
products concerned; whereas they should however be calculated on the basis of the autonomous 
rate  of  duty  where  no  conventional  rate  is  given  for  the  products  concerned  or  where  the 
autonomous rate is lower than the conventional rate, 

Whereas the same methods of calculation  should apply to ad valorem rates of duty as well as to 
the  treatment  of  minimum  and  maximum  duties  provided  in  the  common  customs  tariff; 
whereas  this reduction  of  duties  does  not  affect  the collection  of  charges  laid down  under  the 
common  agricultural  policy  such  as  agricultural  specific  duties  added  to ad valorem  duties  or 
import  charges  which  are  not  customs  duties  within  the  meaning  of  Article  20  (3)  (c)  of 
Regulation  (EEC) no 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (1)

of  products  covered  by  the  scheme  in  a  given  sector  exceed  25%  of  beneficiary  countries' 
exports  to  the  Community  in  that  sector.  The  preferential  margin  for  those  countries  and 
sectors obtained by applying Article 2 shall be abolished as from  1  July  1996. 

2. 
The graduation  mechanism shall not apply to countries whose exports to the  Community

Article 6 

The  most  advanced  beneficiary  countries  shall  be  excluded  from  entitlement  under  this 
Regulation  as from  1  January  1998 on the basis of objective, clearly  defined  criteria for  which 
the Commission shall submit appropriate proposals before  1  January  1997. 

TITLE H 

Special incentive arrangements 

Article 7 

1.  As  from  1  January  1998  special  incentive  arrangements  in  the  form  of  additional 
preferences  may be granted to beneficiary  countries covered by the scheme which request  such 
arrangements  in writing and provide proof  that they have adopted  and actually  apply  domestic 
legal provisions incorporating the substance of the standards laid down  in International  Labour 
Organization  Conventions  Nos  87  and  98  concerning  the  application  of  the  principles  of  the 
right to organize  and to bargain collectively  and Convention  No  138 concerning  the  minimum 
age for admission to employment. 

To that end the Council  shall  in  1997 carry  out  a review  based  on a Commission  report 
2. 
on  the  results  of  the  studies  carried  out  in  international  forums  such  as  the  ELO, WTO  and 
OECD on the relationship between trade and workers' rights.

3. 
operational  criteria,  the  Commission  shall  submit  a  proposal  for  a  Council  decision  on  the 
degree  of  the  special  incentive  arrangements  referred  to  in  paragraph  1 and  the  arrangements 
for their implementation. 

Article 8 

1.  As  from  1  January  1998  special  incentive  arrangements  in  the  form  of  additional 
preferences  may be granted to beneficiary  countries covered by the scheme which request  such 
arrangements  in writing and provide proof  that they have adopted  and actually  apply  domestic 
legal  provisions  incorporating  the  substance  of  international  environmental  standards  for 
agriculture. 

2. 
To that end  the Council  shall  in  1997 carry out  a review  based  on  a Commission  report 
on the results of the studies carried out in international forums  such as the WTO and OECD on 
the relationship between trade and the environment. 

3. 
In  the  light  of  that  review  and  on  the  basis  of  internationally  accepted,  objective  and 
operational  criteria,  the  Commission  shall  submit  a  proposal  for  a  Council  decision  on  the 
degree  of  the  special  incentive  arrangements  referred  to  in  paragraph  1 and  the  arrangements 
for their implementation.

Temporary  withdrawal  shall  not  be  automatic,  but  shall  follow 

2. 
requirements laid down in the following  Articles, including Article 12(3). 

the  procedural 

Article 10 

1. 
The  circumstances  referred  to  in  Article 9  which  might  make  it  necessary  to  resort  to 
temporary  withdrawal  of  preferences  shall  be  brought  to  the  Commission's  attention  by  the 
Member  States,  or  by  any  natural  or  legal  person,  or  association  not  endowed  with  legal 
personality,  which  can  show  an  interest  in  such  withdrawal.  The  Commission  shall 
communicate the information  immediately to all Member States. 

2. 
Consultations  may  be  initiated  either  at  the  request  of  a  Member  State  or  at  the 
Commission's  request.  They  shall  take  place  within  eight  working  days  of  receipt  by  the 
Commission  of the information  referred  to in paragraph  1 and in any event before  adoption of 
any Community measures withdrawing  preferences. 

3. 
The consultations  shall take place in the Committee referred  to in Article  17, which  shall 
be convened by its chairman, who shall communicate  all pertinent  information  to the Member 
States as soon as possible. 

The  consultations  shall  be  concerned  inter  alia  with  analysis  of  the  circumstances 

4. 
referred to in Article 9 and the measures to be taken. 

Article 11 

1.  Where  the  Commission  finds,  following  the  consultations,  that  there  is  sufficient 
evidence to justify  initiation of an investigation, it shall: 

(a) 

announce  the  initiation  of  an  investigation  in  the  Official  Journal  of  the  European 
Communities  and  inform  the  country  concerned  accordingly;  that  notice  shall  give  a 
summary  of  the  information  received  and  state  that  all  relevant  information  is  to  be 
communicated  to the Commission,  indicating  the period  within  which  interested  parties 
may make known their views in writing; 

(b) 

commence  the  investigation,  lasting  up  to  one  year,  in  cooperation  with  the  Member 
States and in consultation with the Committee provided for in Article  17. The duration of 
the investigation may be extended if need be under the same procedure.

The Commission  shall  seek  all  information  it deems to be necessary  and  shall,  where  it 
2. 
considers  this  appropriate,  after  consulting  the  Committee  referred  to  in  Article  17, verify  the 
information  with  economic  operators  and  the competent  authorities  of  the beneficiary  country 
concerned.  For this purpose  the Commission  may dispatch  its own  experts  to establish  on  the 
spot  the  truth  of  the  allegations  made  by  the  person  referred  to  in  Article  10(1).  The 
Commission  shall provide the competent  authorities of the beneficiary  country  concerned  with 
every opportunity to help as necessary in the conduct of these enquiries. 

The  Commission  may  also  be  assisted  by  officials  of  the  Member  State  on  whose 

3. 
territory verification  might be sought, if the said Member State so requests. 

4. 
The Commission may hear the interested parties. It shall so hear them if they have, within 
the  period  prescribed  in  the  notice  published  in  the  Official  Journal  of  the  European 
Communities, made a written  request for  a hearing  showing that they are likely  to be  affected 
by the result of the investigation  and that there are particular reasons why they should be heard 
orally. 

5.  Where  information  requested  by  the  Commission  is  not  provided  within  a  reasonable 
period  or the investigation  is significantly  impeded, findings  may be made on  the basis  of  the 
facts available. 

Article 12 

1.  When  the  investigation  is  complete  the  Commission  shall.report  the  findings  to  the 
Committee referred  to in Article 17. 

2. 
If  the  Commission  considers  temporary  withdrawal  of  preference  to  be  unnecessary,  it 
shall  publish  in  the  Official  Journal  of  the  European  Communities,  after  consulting  the 
Committee, a notice terminating the investigation  and setting out its main conclusions. 

3. 
If the Commission  considers temporary  withdrawal of preference  to be necessary,  it shall 
submit an appropriate  proposal to the Council, which shall decide on it by a qualified  majority.

Article 13 

Preferences  shall normally be granted in respect of products which  are subject  to  anti-dumping 
or  anti-subsidy  duties  under  Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No 2423/88  of  11 July  1988,  as 
amended,  unless  it can  be  shown  that  the  said  duties  were based  on  the  injury  caused  and  on 
prices  which  did  not  reflect 
the  preferential  tariff  arrangements  granted  to  the  country 
concerned.  The  Commission  shall  publish  a  notice  listing  products  and  countries  for  which 
preferences  shall not be granted in the Official  Journal of the European Communities. 

Article 14 

1 .Where a product originating  in one of  the countries  listed  in Annex in  is imported  on  terms 
which  cause  or  threaten  to  cause  serious  difficulties  to  a  Community  producer  of  like  or 
directly  competing  products,  Common  Customs  Tariff  duties  on  that  product  may  be 
reintroduced  at  any  time  at  the  request  of  a  Member  State  or  on  the  Commission's  own 
initiative. 

2.The Commission  shall announce the opening of an investigation  in the Official  Journal of the 
European  Communities.  The notice  shall  provide  a summary  of  the  information  received  and 
state that  any useful  information  should  be communicated  to the Commission;  it shall  specify 
the time limit within which interested parties may make their views known in writing. 

3.In examining the possible existence of serious difficulties  the Commission  shall take account 
inter alia of the factors listed in Annex VII where the information  is available. 

4.The  Commission  shall  take the  decision  to  reintroduce  the  Common  Customs  Tariff  duties 
within 30 working days of consulting the Committee set up by Article  17. A Member State may 
refer  the  Commission's  decision  to  the  Council  within  10 days.  The  Council,  acting  by  a 
qualified  majority,  shall have 30 days to adopt a different  decision. 

5.The  beneficiary  countries  concerned  shall  be  informed  of  such  measures  before  the  said 
measures become  effective. 

6.Where  exceptional  circumstances  requiring  immediate  action  make  either  notification  or 
examination  impossible,  the  Commission  may,  after  so  informing  the  Member  States, 
implement  any  preventive  measure  which  is  strictly  necessary  and  which  satisfies  the 
conditions laid down in paragraph  1  to deal with the situation. 

7.Nothing in the preceding paragraphs shall affect  the application of safeguard  clauses adopted 
as  part  of  the  common  agricultural  policy  under  Article 43  of  the  Treaty,  or  as  part  of  the 
common  commercial  policy  under  Article  113  of  the  Treaty,  or  any  other  safeguard  clauses 
which may be applied.

Identification  of  countries  and  sectors  referred  to  in  Article  4 

I.  Classification  of  beneficiary  countries  by  development 

index 

The  development  index  represents  each  country's  overall  level  of  industrial  development  compared  with 
that  of  the  European  Union.  It  is  based  on  the  following  formula,  which  combines  per  capita  income 
with  the  level  of  manufactured  exports : 

{logKYi/POP.VfY^/POP^)]  +  logTX./XJI 

in  which : 
Y 
Yue 
POP; 
POPoe 
X; 
Xut 

—  the  beneficiary  country's  income, 
•»  the  European  Union's  income, 
«•  the  beneficiary  country's  population, 
~  the  population  of  the  European  Union, 
-=  the  value  of  the  beneficiary  country's  manufactured  exports. 
«= the  value  of  the  European  Union's  manufactured  exports. 

Using  this  formula, an  index  of  0  means  the  beneficiary's  level  of  industrial  development  is equal  to  that 
of  the  European  Union. 

Figures  for  income  and  population  are  taken  from  World  Bank  statistics  (World  Development  Report 
1993)  and  those  for  manufactured  exports  from  the  Unctad  Handbook  of  International  Trade  and 
Development  Statistics  (1992). 

II.  Classification  of  beneficiary  countries  by  relative  sectoral  specialization 

index 

A  beneficiary  country's  specialization  index  is  derived  from  the  relationship  between  the  proportion  of 
imports  in  a  determined  sector  coming  from  this  country  within  the  total  amount  of  Community 
imports  in  this  sector,  on  the  one  hand,  and  on  the  other  hand,  this  country's  share  proportion  of  the 
total  Community  imports. 

III.  Combining  the  development  and  specialization 

indexes 

The  combination  of  these  two  indexes  determines  how.  Article  4  will  be  applied  to  each  beneficiary 
country. 

For countries  with  a development  index  greater  than  — 1, Article  4  will  apply  when  the  specialization 
index  equals  or  exceeds  1. 

For countries  with  a development  index  between  — 1 and  — 1,23, Article  4 will  apply when  the  specia 
lization  index  equals  or  exceeds  1,5. 

For  countries  with  a  development  index  between  — 1.23  and  — 1,70,  Article  4  will  apply  when  the 
specialization  index  equals  or  exceeds  5. 

For countries  with a development  index  between  — 1,70  and  —  2, Article  4 will  apply when  the  specia 
lization  index  equals  or  exceeds  7. 

Article  4  will  not  apply  to  countries  with  a  development  index  of  less  than  —  2.

Title of the measure 

Financial  statement 

Draft  proposal for a Regulation applying a multiantiual scheme of generalized tariff  preferences 
from  1  July  1996  to  30 June  1999  in  respect  of  certain  agricultural  products  originating  in 
developing countries. 

Legal basis 

Article  113 of the Treaty. 

Objectives 

This draft  proposal  is aimed at aligning the preferences  granted to the developing  countries  in 
the agricultural  sector on the principles underlying the new scheme of generalized  preferences 
proposed  by  the  Commission  in  its  communication  of  1 June  1994  to  the  Council  and 
industrial  products  on 
Parliament,  which 
19 December  1994.  In terms of its financial  impact, the basic principle is that the offer  should 
entail no more loss of income than the previous one. 

the  Council  adopted  with 

regard 

to 

It is difficult  to estimate exactly  the impact  of the generalized  tariff  preferences  offered  to the 
developing countries in the agricultural sector owing to: 

the origin  rules, which the developing  countries  are sometimes unable to satisfy  because 
of the structure of their production; 
a failure to take up all preferences, either because of a lack of information  or because it is 
not worthwhile. 

Depending  on  these  factors,  the  total  value  of  the  preferences  offered  for  the  period  from 
1 July to  31 December  is  not  exactly  the  same  as  the  preferential  imports  that  actually  took 
place in that period. 

On the basis of the total imports from  the beneficiary  countries in  1994 and the 75% take-up of 
agricultural  preferences  worth  ECU  10.9 billion  under  the previous  GSP, the  loss  of  customs 
revenue in ECU million can be calculated  as follows, taking account of an annual  reduction  in 
duties of 6% a year as a result of the Uruguay Round: 

1.7.96-31.12.96

1.1.97-31.12.97

Existing or foreseen preventative and protective measures in the event of the nsk of  fraud 
and irregularities. 

The measures in regard to fraud and administrative co-operation are set out  in Article 94 
of  Regulatbn  (EC)  No.  3254/94  of  19  December  1994  (OJ  L346  of  31.12.1994). 
In 
particular  they  provide  for  the  possibility  to  request  post  verification  of  certificates  of 
origin.  In cases  of  doubt  or  where replies  provided  are insufficent  in  the framework of 
those verifications,  the Community has the possibility to refuse  preferential benefits within 
the provisions in question (existing measures). 

In cases of grave and recurring difficulties  in this regard, the Community, by application  of 
Article  9  of  the  present  Regulation  may  introduce  sanctions  against  the  beneficiary 
country  by  temporarily,  totally  or  partially  withdrawing  the  tariff  concessions  (possible 
measures)
