COMMON  PROVISIONS

Article  29

the  application  of  preferential  duty, 

1. For 
the
expression  ‘Common  Customs  Tariff’  shall  be  taken  to
mean  the  lowest  rate  of  duty  appearing  in  column  3  or
column  4,  taking  into  account  the  periods  of  application
mentioned  or  referred  to  in  that  column,  of  the  second
part  of  Annex  I  of  Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No
2658/87  of  23  July  1987  on  the  tariff  and  statistical
nomenclature  and  on  the  Common  Customs  Tariff (1);  a
duty  set  up  within  the  framework  of  a  tariff  quota  shall
not  be  reduced.

2. Subject  to  paragraph  3,  the  final  rate  of  preferential
duty  calculated  in  accordance  with  this  Regulation  shall
be  rounded  down  to  the  first  decimal  place.

3. Where the result of calculating the rate of preferential
duty  in  application  of  paragraph  2  is  one  of  the
following,  the  preferential  rate  shall  be  considered  a  full
exemption:

—  1 %  or  less  in  the  case  of  ad  valorem  duties,  or

—  EUR  0,5  or  less  per  individual  euro  amount  in  the

case  of  specific  duties.

4. Save  as  otherwise  provided  in  the  Annexes,  with
respect  to  products  falling  within  Chapters  1  to  24,
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
the  preferential
minimum  and  a  maximum  duty, 

6. Where exceptional circumstances requiring immediate
action  make 
examination
impossible,  the  Commission  may,  after  so  informing  the

PART  2

Identification  of  countries  and  sectors  referred  to  in  Article  3

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:

{log[(Yi/POPi)/(Yue/POPue)]+log[Xi/Xue]}
2

in  which:

Y 

Yue 

= 

the  beneficiary  country’s  income,

= 

the  European  Union’s  income,

POPi 

= 

the  beneficiary  country’s  population,

POPue 

= 

the  population  of  the  European  Union,

Xi 

Xue 

= 

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  developments  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  specialisation  index

A beneficiary country’s specialisation 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  of  the  total
Community  imports.

III.  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.

(1)  Notwithstanding the rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, the wording for the description of the

comprise  an  an  valorem    duty  with  a  minimum  and  a  maximum  duty,  the  preferential  reduction  also  applies  to  that
minimum and maximum duty. Where they comprise more than one specific duty, the preferential reduction applies to
