Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 

applying a multiannual scheme of generalised tariff preferences 
for the period 1 January 1999 to 31 December 2001 

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

The  aim  of  this  proposal  is  to  implement  the  European  Community's  second 
multiannual  scheme of generalised tariff  preferences  within the ten-year period  covered  by 
the Community offer  starting in  1995 and ending in 2004. 

The industrial products component of the current scheme will remain  in force  until 
31 December  1998 and  therefore  the second  scheme should  be ready  to enter  into  force on 
1 January  1999 for  a period  of three years, i.e. until  31 December  2001. That  scheme will 
be  followed  in turn by a third  starting  on  1 January  2002  and  lasting  for  three  years  until 
the end of the ten-year period on 31 December 2004. 

The scheme now submitted to Council consists largely of an update of the previous 

scheme and contains the following  features  and innovations: 

1. Simplified  presentation 

To  make  it  easier  for  beneficiaries  to  use,  all  the  legislation  has  been  brought 
together  so  that  the  industrial  and  agricultural  components  and  the  various  other 
arrangements  (general,  social  and  environmental  incentives, drugs and  LLDC)  now  come 
under a single regulation. 

2. Updated graduation  mechanism 

Whenever  the  scheme  has  been renewed,  the annexes,  which  represent  the  results 
of the  graduation  mechanism,  have  generally  been  adjusted  at the  same  time  in  line  with 
the  most  recent  available  statistics.  The  most  recent  definitive  statistical  data  for  the 
purposes of graduation  are the World Bank statistics for  1996 and  if these were applied  in 
accordance  with  the  scheme,  it  would  lead  to  the  graduation  of  new  sectors  for  some 
countries.  However,  since  some  beneficiary  countries,  mainly  in  Asia,  experienced  an 
abrupt  change  in  1997 in the growth  and  trade patterns which  had  hitherto  prevailed,  the 
Commission has decided that it would be better not to propose the updating of the annexes 
in the short term but to retain the possibility  of revising  them  next year depending  on the 
pattern of growth and trade with our Asian and Latin American partners. 

3.  Renewal  of  the  special  drugs  arrangements  with  the  Andean  and  Central  American 
countries 

Reports1  evaluating  anti-drugs  measures  taken  by  beneficiary  countries  and 
analysing the economic and social impact of the special arrangements confirm  the need  for 
the  special  drugs  programme  -  it  is  a  useful  means  of  supporting  the  efforts  of  those 
countries to reduce their dependence on the drug economy and stabilise their economic

referred  to in Article  18(3) of Regulation  (EC) No 3281/94.

and  social  structures  and  the  institutions  that  uphold  the rule  of  law. However,  as yet, the 
special  arrangements  have  fallen  somewhat  short  of  the  objectives  set  out  above.  The 
extreme  difficulty  of  the  task,  persistent  shortcomings  and  the  need  for  further  progress 
justify  the  EU's  desire  to  continue  backing  up  the  anti-drug  efforts  of  the  Andean 
Community  and  Central  American  states  by  means  of  the  GSP  special  arrangements 
which,  in  any  event,  will  be  comprehensively  reviewed  at  the  end  of  ten-year  period  in 
2004. 

Naturally,  if the EU  is to continue  with this policy  the countries  concerned  will  in 

turn have to step up their own efforts  in three areas: 

from 

the  countries  benefiting 

a)  The  anti-drug  measures  of 

the  special 
arrangements  must be backed  up by continued  commitment  in the areas of precursors  and 
money  laundering  - a crucial  factor  for  success. It is vital  that  these  countries  adopt  legal 
and  political  measures  which  will  increase  their  effectiveness  in  this  area  and  actually 
implement  the  international  commitments  which  they  have  entered  into,  or  should  enter 
into,  to  that  effect.  Monitoring  the  development  of  the  situation  in  this  respect  will 
therefore  form  an integral part of the details to be submitted  to the Generalised  Preferences 
Committee  under the annual  exercise to assess the impact of  the special  arrangements  laid 
down  by  the  regulation.  An  inappropriate  policy  on  precursors  and  money  laundering  in 
the countries concerned  may have an adverse  effect. 

b)  Preferential  access  to  our  market  must  be  matched  by  further  export 
diversification  and  this  requires  a  special  effort  by  the  beneficiary  countries.  For  the 
Community's  support  to work  properly,  exports  of  manufactures  must  expand.  The  same 
is true of the Central American countries to which the Commission  proposes to extend  the 
benefit  of  the  special  arrangements  for  the  industrial  sector.  This  will  require  an 
improvement  in the institutional  environment  of the countries concerned  in order to  attract 
new  investment,  including  foreign  direct  investment,  in  the  industrial  sector.  The 
completion  of  regional 
integration  would  represent  considerable  progress,  helping 
overcome potential investors' reluctance to get involved  in small, partitioned  markets. This 
too  will  be  subject  to  scrutiny  by  the  Generalised  Preferences  Committee  as  part  of  its 
annual  exercise  to  assess  the  impact  of the  special  arrangements  which  may  be  adversely 
affected  by a lack of progress towards regional  integration. 

c)  Social  considerations  form  an  essential  part  of  any  attempt  to  combat  drug-
trafficking,  since  the  drugs  problem  is  clearly  rooted  to  a  large  extent  in  the  social 
conditions  of the people  concerned.  Problems  relating  to the environment  must  also  form 
part of any such policy. 

To  respond  to these  concerns, the  Commission  proposed  to  introduce  a  social  and 
environmental  component into the special drugs arrangements. This will take the form  of a 
clause according to which the countries eligible for the special  drugs arrangements will 

have  their  tariff  benefits  reduced  by  a  percentage  equal  to  the  additional  preferential 
margins  offered  under the special  incentive  schemes  if they  fail  to comply  with the  social 
and  environmental  standards  which  apply  to  countries  eligible  for  such  schemes.  The 
preferences  allowed  under  the  drugs  arrangements  will  therefore  be  made  up  of  a  drugs 
component per  se  and  a component  linked  to  compliance  with  social  and  environmental 
standards. 

However,  the  countries  benefiting  from  the  drugs  arrangements  will  only  be 
subject  ex-post  to  the  procedure  provided  for  under  the  incentive  arrangements  for 
verifying  compliance  with  social  and  environmental  legislation  in  order  to  assess  their 
eligibility  for  the  social  and  environmental  component  of  the  benefit  they  receive.  The 
verification  procedure  will  not  therefore  be  a  precondition  for  eligibility.  This  approach 
allows the drugs arrangements to maintain their appeal  and effectiveness  by  incorporating 
a  social  and  environmental  incentive  into  them  thereby  making  the  whole  scheme  more 
coherent. 

4. Extending product coverage under the environmental  clause 

To  make  use  of  the  environmental  clause  more  attractive  (hitherto  it  has  been 
limited to tropical forest  timber products) the Commission  has decided  to extend  the list of 
eligible  products  by  adding  various  non-wood  products  of  tropical  forests  managed  in 
accordance with International Tropical Timber Organisation standards. 

5. Special arrangements for the LLDC 

The  Commission  underlines  its pledge  to embark  upon  a process  which  will  lead, 
by the year  2005, to  duty-free  access  for  practically  all products  originating  in the  LLDC 
on  the  basis  of  the  trade  provisions  of  the  current  Lomé  Convention  and  to  simplify  the 
origin  rules  and  provisions  on  cumulation  which  apply  to  their  exports.  This  process 
entails abandoning the principle of non-discrimination  between ACP States. 

The basic  industrial  products which  are now to form  part  of the LLDC  offer  are  naturally 
excluded  from  the general  arrangements  applicable to non-LLDC  beneficiary  countries. In 
the interests of clarity for traders, the information  provided to them will in future  include a 
list of the basic industrial products excluded from the general arrangements.

The above are the main features and innovations of the 2nd GSP scheme of the ten-
year period which the Commission now submits to the Council  for  its opinion with  a view 
to adoption in time to enter into force on  1  January  1999.

Council Regulation (EC) No 

/98 

applying a multiannual scheme of generalised tariff  preferences 
for the period  1 January  1999 to 31 December 2001 

(presented by the Commission) 

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,2 

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 
generalised  tariff  preferences  commencing  in  1971  in  respect  of  certain  agricultural  and 
industrial  products  from  developing  coOuntries;  whereas  the  initial  ten-year  period  of 
application of the system of preferences  ended on 31 December  1980 and a second ten-

year  period  ended  on  31 December  1990,  though  the  scheme  was  kept  in  being 
unchanged  until  31 December  1994  when  the  Community  made  a  new  ten-year  offer 
(1995-2004); 

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 liberalisation of trade; 
Whereas  in a communication  to the Council  dated  1  June  19944 the  Commission  set  out 
its  recommendations  for  a  further  ten-year  period  of  application  of  its  scheme  of 
generalised preferences  for the period  1995-2004; 

Whereas these guidelines were confirmed  in  1995 by the adoption  of the first  scheme  for 
the  ten-year  period,  governed  by  Council  Regulation  (EC) No  3281/94  of  19  December 
1994 applying a four-year  scheme of generalised tariff preferences  (1995-1998) in respect 
of certain industrial products originating in developing countries5 and Council  Regulation 
(EC)  No  1256/96  of  20  June  1996  applying  a  multiannual  scheme  of  generalised  tariff 
preferences  from  1  July  1996 to  30 June  1999 in respect  of  certain  agricultural  products 
originating in developing countries;6 

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; 

Whereas the Community  scheme of generalised  preferences  should therefore  continue  in 
its development-oriented  approach, 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;

6OJL  160, 29.6.1996, p. 1. 

Whereas the Community  scheme of generalised tariff preferences  must continue to aim at 
a  level  of  liberalisation  at  which  the  impact  of  the  preferential  margin  on  the  potential 
volume  of  pieferential  trade  is  neutral  overall  compared  -with  the  previous  schemes, 
without prejudice to special incentive arrangements; 

Whereas the Community  scheme of generalised  tariff  preferences  must also take  account 
of  certain  sectors  or  products  which  are  sensitive  for  Community 
industry  and 
agriculture;  whereas  sensitive  sectors  should  continue  to  be  protected  against  import 
surges  by  means  of  a  dual  mechanism  involving  a  modulation  of  preferential  tariff 
margins coupled with an emergency 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, the  system 
of graduation should continue in being; 

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  specialisation  expressed  as  a  specialisation  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 specialisation  index, in terms of 
the sectors to be excluded, in line with the level of development; 

Whereas the Community  may review the results of the graduation  mechanism  before  the 
end of  1999 in the light of changes in the world trade and investment climate; 

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

Whereas countries whose exports to the Community  of products covered by the GSP in a 
given sector did not exceed  2% of all beneficiary  countries' exports to the Community  in 
that  sector  in the statistical  reference  year of the previous  scheme  should  remain  exempt 
from  the graduation  system; 

Whereas  countries  and  territories  whose  per  capita  income  i-s  higher  than  that  of  a 
Member State of the Community and whose development  index is higher than -1 ° should 
continue to be excluded from the scheme; 

Whereas  at  the  Singapore  ministerial  conference  in  December  1996  the  WTO  member 
countries  pledged  to  carry  out  an  action  plan  to  improve  access  to  their  markets  for 
products originating in the least-developed  countries; 

Whereas, on the basis of a Commission communication  of  16 April  1997 and the  Council 
conclusions  of  2  June  1997,  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  602/98  of  9 March  19987 
granted  least-developed  countries  not  party  to  the  Lomé  Convention  preferences 
equivalent to those enjoyed  by signatories; 

Whereas  countries  undertaking  effective  programmes  to  combat  drug  production  and 
trafficking  should  remain  entitled  to  the  more  favourable  treatment  granted  them  under 
the  previous  scheme;  whereas  the  countries  concerned  will  therefore  continue  to  enjoy 
duty-free  access  for  industrial  and  agricultural  products  provided  they  continue  their 
efforts  to  combat  drugs;  whereas  the  above  treatment  should  be  extended  to  industrial 
products from  the Central American Common Market countries and  Panama; 

Whereas  the  continuation  of  this  special  treatment  after  31  December  1999  should, 
however,  be  conditional  upon  compliance  with  the  social  and  environmental  standards 
governing  eligibility  for  the  labour  right  and  environmental  protection  incentives; 
whereas in the event of failure to comply with these standards and related procedures, the 
margin  of  the  special  drugs  preference  should  be  reduced  by  an  amount  proportional  to 
the advantage offered  under the incentive arrangements; 

Whereas beneficiary  countries willing to do so but as yet unable to meet the costs may be 
encouraged  to  introduce  effective  policies  for  the  protection  of  workers'  rights,  with 
particular  regard  to  the  right  to  organise  and  the  prohibition  of  child  labour;  whereas 
more  favourable  treatment  should  therefore  also  be  available  for  products  manufactured 
in  conditions  conforming 
the  International  Labour 
Organisation  (ILO)  in  countries  whose  legislation  contains  rules  of  similar  scope  and 
substance which are actually applied; 

laid  down  by 

to  standards 

Whereas  beneficiary  countries  may  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 more  favourable 
treatment  may  initially  be made available  for  tropical  wood  products  from  forests  which 

7 OJL  80,  18.3.1998, p. 1. 

are  sustainably  managed  in conformity  with  International  Tropical  Timber  Organisation 
(ITTO) standards; 

Whereas Council  Regulation (EC) No  1154/98 of 25 May  19988 implemented  the  special 
incentive  arrangements  concerning  labour  rights  and  environmental  protection  provided 
for in Articles 7 and 8 of Regulations (EC).Nos 3281/94 and  1256/96; 

Whereas  the  special  incentive  arrangements  should  be  available  to  countries  which  are 
beneficiaries  of  the  general  scheme,  even  in  sectors  where  they  may  be  subject  to  the 
graduation mechanism but not in those subject to the clause in Article 5(1) of Regulations 
(EC) Nos 3281/94 and  1256/96, as these are excluded for reasons of competitive  capacity 
irrespective of the level of development of the country concerned; 

Whereas the incentives  for  labour rights may  be granted  only to countries  which  request 
them  in writing  and provide proof that they apply  legislation  incorporating  the  substance 
of the standards laid down in ILO Conventions Nos 87 and 98 concerning the  application 
of the principles  of the right to organise  and to bargain  collectively  and ILO  Convention 
No  138 concerning  the minimum age for admission to employment; 

Whereas  the  incentives  for  labour  rights  should  be  confined  to  countries,  or  in  certain 
cases,  to  production  sectors  that  have  actually  taken  steps  to  comply  with  the  ILO 
Conventions  in question; whereas provision must therefore  be made for  the incentives to 
apply to certain sectors but not to others; 

Whereas  the  incentives  for  environmental  protection  may  be  granted  only  to  countries 
that  request  them  and  provide  proof  that  they  apply  legislation  incorporating  the 
substance of the standards of the International Tropical Timber  Organisation; 

Whereas  requests  for  application  of  the  social  and  environmental  incentives  must  be 
subject  to a publication procedure enabling interested parties to make their views  known; 
whereas  the  decision  on  whether  to  grant  this  treatment  must  be  taken  after  the 
Commission  has  examined  the  requests  closely  and  the  Generalised  Preferences 
Committee has delivered a favourable  opinion; 

Whereas  operation  of  the  incentive  arrangements  for  labour  rights  is  contingent  on 
certification  by the authorities of the beneficiary  countries of product conformity  with the 

8  OJL  160, 4.6.1998, p. 1. 

abovcmentioned  standards  and  on  the  application  of  administrative  cooperation 
procedures similar to those used to verify  the origin of goods; 

Whereas  for  the purposes  of certification  and  administrative  cooperation  procedures,  the 
relevant provisions of Commission  Regulation (EEC) No 2454/939 of 2 July  1993 laying 
down  provisions  for  the  implementation  of  Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No  2913/92  of 
12 October  1992  establishing  the  Community  Customs  Code  should  be  applied;10 
whereas,  however,  special  procedures  should  be  provided  in  order  to  safeguard  the 
legitimate interests of importers using the special incentive arrangements; 

Whereas  if the incentives are to be fully  effective  the additional  preferential  margin  must 
be  attractive;  whereas  the  margins  specified  in  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  1154/98 
should accordingly  continue to apply; 

Whereas  the  international  criteria  for  the  preservation  of  tropical  forests  cannot  for  the 
time being be used to monitor logging operations; whereas at this stage it is preferable  for 
the  purposes  of  the  environmental  incentives  to  vet  countries  thoroughly  in  advance, 
without  prejudice  to subsequent  use of ex-post  verification  as soon as conditions  permit; 
whereas the additional preferential  margins available should be the same as those adopted 
in the social  field; 

Whereas, however,  owing to the great  sensitivity  of the products  referred  to  in  Part  1 of 
Annex  I to this  Regulation,  the  further  reduction  in  duty which  may  be  applied  to  these 
products under the special incentive arrangements should be limited to 40%; 

Whereas  in  certain  circumstances  it  may  be  appropriate  to  withdraw  temporarily  all  or 
part  of  a  country's  entitlement  under  the  special  incentive  arrangements  for  instance 
where beneficiary  states fail to honour their commitments; 

Whereas in certain circumstances it may be appropriate to withdraw temporarily  some or 
all  of  a country's  preferential  entitlement;  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  or  on money  laundering,  legislation  discriminating  against  the 
Community, failure to apply the administrative cooperation methods necessary  for the 

9 OJL 253,  11.10.1993, p. 1. 
10 OJL 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1. 

scheme  to  function  properly,  failure  to  comply  with  obligations  entered  into  in  the 
Uruguay  Round  to  meet  agreed  market-access  objectives,  or  failure  to  comply  with 
certain international conventions concerning the conservation  and management  of fishery 
resources; 

Whereas  temporary  withdrawal  of  entitlement  must  be  the  culmination  of  a  procedure 
which gives all interested parties an opportunity to state their views; 

Whereas  the  Community  must  be  able  to  act  swiftly  against  third  countries  when  its 
financial  interests are damaged as a result of fraud,  serious and repeated  irregularities or a 
manifest  lack  of  administrative  cooperation  in  such  countries;  whereas  having  notified 
the Member  States and the operators concerned of its reasonable doubts, the  Commission 
should  be  able  to  suspend  certain  preferences  provisionally  on  the  basis  of  sufficient 
evidence; 

Whereas  at  the  end  of  that  procedure  the  decision  on  temporary  withdrawal  as  defined 
above  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  power  to  decide  on  the  withdrawal  of  some  or  all  of  a  country's 
preferential  entitlement  should therefore  lie with the Council; 

Whereas  the  temporary  withdrawal  of  all  tariff  preferences  in  respect  of  industrial  and 
agricultural  products  originating  in Myanmar  should  remain  in force  in  accordance  with 
the conditions  laid  down  in Council  Regulation  (EC) No  552/97 of 24 March  1997,"  on 
account of the use of forced  labour there; 

Whereas  it  would  be  illogical  to  accord  preferences  in  respect  of  products  subject  to 
antidumping  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  in  the  Common 
Customs  Tariff  for  the products concerned;  whereas  they  should,  however,  be  calculated 
from  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 

11 OJL  85, 27.3.1997, p. 8. 

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  Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No  2913/92;  whereas  the 
calculation must in no case be based on duties applied under conventional  or autonomous 
tariff quotas; 

Whereas  the  current  scheme  for  agricultural  products  as  set  out  in  Council  Regulation 
(EC) No  1256/96 should be applied until its due expiry date, i.e. 30 June  1999, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

Article 1 

l.The  Community  scheme  of  generalised 
tariff  preferences,  comprising  general 
arrangements  and  special  incentive  arrangements,  is hereby  renewed  for  the period  from 
1 January  1999  to  31 December  2001, to  apply  in  accordance  with  the  conditions  and 
arrangements laid down in this Regulation. 

2. This Regulation  shall apply to products falling  within Chapters  1  to 97 of the Common 
Customs Tariff,  excluding Chapter 93, which are listed  in Annex I and, on the  conditions 
laid down in Articles 6 and 7, to the products listed in Annex VII.

procedure provided for in Article 33. 

Article 26 

1. Where the Commission finds, following  the consultations referred  to in Article 24, 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  notify  the  country  concerned  thereof;  such  announcement  shall 
give a summary of the information  received  and state that all relevant  information  is 
to  be  communicated  to  the  Commission,  specifying  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 referred  to in Article 32. The duration 
of the investigation may be extended if need be under the same procedure. 

2. The Commission  shall seek all information  it deems to be necessary  and shall, where it 
considers this appropriate, after  consulting the Committee referred  to in Article  32,  verify 

20 

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  persons  referred  to  in 
Article 24(1). The  Commission  shall provide the competent  authorities of the  beneficiary 
country  concerned  with  every  opportunity  to  cooperate  as  necessary  in  the  conduct  of 
these enquiries. 

3. The  Commission  may  also  be  assisted  by  officials  of  the  Member  State  on  whose 
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 27 
1. When  the  investigation  is  complete,  the  Commission  shall  report  the  findings  to  the 
Committee referred  to in Article 32. 

2. If the Commission  considers temporary  withdrawal  of preference  to be unnecessary,  it 
shall,  after  consulting  the  Committee  referred  to  in  Article  32,  publish  a  notice  in  the 
Official  Journal  of  the  European  Communities,  announcing  the  termination  of  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. 

Section 2 
Antidumping  clause 

Article 28 

Preferences  shall  normally  be  granted  to  products  which  are  subject  to  antidumping  or 
anti-subsidy  measures under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of  11 July  1988,12 as 
amended, unless it can be shown that those measures were based on injury  caused and on 
prices  which  did  not  reflect  the  preferential  tariff  arrangements  granted  to  the  country 
concerned.  To  that  end,  the  Commission  shall  publish  in  the  Official  Journal  of  the 
European  Communities  a  list  of  products  and  countries  to  which  preference  is  not 
granted.

Section 3 
Safeguard  clause 

Article 29 

1. Where a product originating  in one of the countries  or territories  listed  in Annex  III 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  announcement  shall  provide  a  summary  of  the 
information  received  and  state  that  any  useful  information  should  be  communicated  to 
the  Commission;  it  shall  specify  the  period  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 VI where the information  is available. 

4. The  Commission  shall  take  the  decision  within  30  working  days  of  consulting  the 
Committee  referred  to  in  Article  32.  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 within which 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 this Article 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.

Article 32 

1. The  Generalised  Preferences  Committee  created  by Article  17 of  Council  Regulation 
(EC) No  3281/94,  hereinafter  referred  to  as  "the  Committee",  may  examine  any  matter 
relating to the application  of this Regulation which  is raised by its chairman either on his 
own initiative or at the request of a Member State's representative. 

2. On the  basis of an annual  report  from  the Commission,  it  shall  examine  the  extent  to 
which the principle  of neutrality  of the effects  of this  scheme has been observed  and  any 
steps being  considered  by the  Commission,  either  in accordance  with  the procedure  laid 
down  in  Article  33  or  through  a  proposal  submitted  to  the  Council,  to  ensure  proper 
observance thereof.. 

3. On the basis of an annual report from  the Commission, it shall also examine the  effects 
of  the  special  arrangements  with  regard  to  drugs,  including  the  progress  made  by  the 
countries  listed  in Annex V in the fight against drugs and, if progress  is insufficient,  any 
measures which the Commission  is considering taking, in accordance with the procedure 
laid down in Article 7 and after  consulting the country  concerned, to suspend  in whole or 
in part the application of Article 33. 

4. On the basis of an annual report from  the Commission, it shall also examine the  effects 
of  the  special  incentive  arrangements,  including  the  progress  made  by  the  beneficiary 
countries  and  the  measures  being  considered  to  remedy  reported  shortcomings.  Those 
measures shall be adopted in accordance with the procedures  laid down in Article 33. 

Article 33 

1. The Commission  representative  shall submit to the Committee  a draft  of the  measures 
to  be  taken.  The  Committee  shall  deliver  its  opinion  on  the  draft  within  a  time  limit 
which  the  chairman  may  lay  down  according  to  the  urgency  of the  matter.  The  opinion 
shall  be  delivered  by  the  majority  laid  down  in  Article  148(2)  of  the  Treaty  for  the 
adoption  of  decisions  that  the  Council  is  called  on  to  take  on  a  proposal  from  the 
Commission.  During  votes within the Committee, the votes of the representatives  of the 
Member States shall be weighted as set out in the Article referred  to above. The chairman 
shall not vote. 

2.  (a)The Commission  shall adopt the measures envisaged  if they are in accordance  with 

the opinion of the Committee. 

b)  If the measures envisaged are not in accordance with the opinion of the Committee,

Council  a proposal  relating to the measures to be taken. The Council  shall  act  by a 
qualified  majority. 

c)  If,  within  three  months  of  referral  to  the  Council,  the  Council  has  not  acted,  the 

proposed measures shall be adopted by the Commission.

Final provisions 

Article 34

2. The Commission  shall also adopt the necessary  budget implementation  measures  for 
the application of all provisions under Titles II and III of this Regulation. 

Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  1256/96  is  hereby  repealed  with  the  exception  of 
Article 4(3) which shall continue to apply until 30 June 1999. 

Article 35

Financial  statement 

Title of operation 

Draft  proposal  for  a  regulation  applying  a  multiannual  scheme  of  generalised  tariff 
preferences  (1999-2001)  in  respect  of  certain  agricultural  and  industrial  products 
originating in developing  countries 

Legal basis 

Article  113 of the Treaty. 

Objective  of the operation 

The aim of this draft  proposal  for  a regulation  is to  implement  the  second  scheme  of the 
ten-year period  1995-2004. 

Estimate of customs revenue 

The  draft  will  not  result  in  any  substantial  change  as  it  simply  renews  the  existing 
scheme. 

However,  the  extension  of  the  special  anti-drugs  arrangements  in  the  industrial  sector 
(Article  7) to the  Central  American  Common  Market  and  Panama  is likely  to result  in a 
slightly larger loss of revenue estimated at ECU  1  443 899. 

Widening  the coverage of products  in Annex VIII  (environmental  products referred  to in 
Article 9) is also likely to produce a loss of revenue of ECU 40 866.

Wherever  customs  duties  comprise  an  ad valorem  duty  plus one or more specific  duties, the  preferential  reduction  is limited  to 
the  ad  valorem  duty.  Where  the  customs  duties  comprise  an  ad  valorem  duty  with  a  minimum  and  a  maximum  duty,  the 
preferential  reduction  also applies to that minimum  and maximum  duty. 

Preferences  arc  not to  be granted  in respect  of  products  of Chapter  3 and  CN  codes  1604,  1605  and  1902  20  10, originating  in

PART 2 

Identification of countries and sectors referred to in Article 3 

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: 

{log[Y,/POP1)/(Yuc/POPuc)] +  log[X/XJ} 

in which: 

Yj = the beneficiary  country's income, 
Yue = the European  Union's income, 
POPj = the beneficiary  country's population, 
POPue = the population  of the European  Union, 
Xj = the value of the beneficiary  country's manufactured  exports. 
Xue = 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). 

//• 

Classification 

of  beneficiary 

countries  by  relative  sectoral  specialisation 

index 

A beneficiary  country's specialisation  index is the ratio of that country's share of total  Community 
imports in general to its share of total Community  imports in a given  sector. 

86 

HI- 

Combining  the  development  and  specialisation 

indexes 

The  combination  of  these  two  indexes  determines  how  Article  3  will  be  applied  to  each 
beneficiary  country. 

For  countries  with  a  development  index  greater  than  -1,  Article  3  will  apply  when  the 
specialisation  index equals or exceeds 1. 

For  countries  with  a  development  index  between  -1  and  -1.23,  Article  3  will  apply  when  the 
specialisation  index equals or exceeds  1.5. 

For countries  with  a  development  index  between  -1.23  and  -1.70, Article  3 will  apply  when  the 
specialisation  index equals or exceeds 5. 

For  countries  with  a  development  index  between  -1.70  and  -2,  Article  3  will  apply  when  the 
specialisation  index equals or exceeds 7. 

Article 3 will not apply to countries with a development  index of less than -2.
