Proposal for a Council Regulation applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences for the
period 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2004

(2001/C 270 E/05)

COM(2001) 293 final (cid:151) 2001/0131(ACC)

(Submitted by the Commission on 14 June 2001)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Whereas:

(1) Since 1971, the European Community has granted trade
preferences to developing countries, in the framework of
its scheme of generalised tariff preferences.

(2) A communication of the Commission to the Council of
1 June 1994 sets out the guidelines for the application of
the scheme for the period 1995-2004 (1).

(3) Council Regulation (EC) No 2820/98 of 21 December
1998 (2) implements the scheme of generalised tariff pref-
erences until 31 December 2001. Thereafter, the scheme
should continue to apply until 31 December 2004,
in
accordance with the guidelines.

(4) It should incorporate the provisions of Council Regulation
(EC) No 416/2001 amending Council Regulation (EC)
No 2820/98 applying a multiannual scheme of gener-
alised tariff preferences for the period 1 July 1999 to
31 December 2001 so as to extend duty-free access
without any quantitative restrictions to products orig-
inating in the least developed countries (3).

(5) The special arrangements to combat drug production and
trafficking should be closely monitored during the period
covered by this Regulation in order to determine whether
they should be maintained thereafter.

(8) Such reduction should be sufficiently attractive in order to
motivate traders to use the opportunities offered by the
scheme. As far as ad valorem duties are concerned, the
reduction should therefore be a flat rate of 3,5 percentage
points of the MFN duty rate, while specific duties should
specify a
be reduced by 30 %. Where such duties
minimum duty, that minimum duty shall not apply.

(9) Duties should be totally suspended where preferential
treatment results in ad valorem duties of 1 % or less or
in specific duties of EUR 2 or less.

(10) The provisions on the exclusion of beneficiary countries
on grounds of the degree of their development should be
applied once a year. However, countries should only be
excluded where they meet the criteria for exclusion during
three consecutive years, and they should be readmitted
where they do not meet
those criteria during three
consecutive years.

(11) During the first year of application of this Regulation the
countries previously excluded should remain excluded.

(12) The provisions on graduation of sectors should be applied
once a year. However, sectors should only be graduated
where they meet the criteria for graduation during three
consecutive years, and they should be readmitted where
they do not meet those criteria during three consecutive
years.

(13) During the first year of application of the Regulation the
sectors previously graduated should remain graduated.

(6) Preferences should be differentiated according to the sensi-
tivity of products. It would be sufficient to differentiate
between
and
non-sensitive products.

ANNEX II

The development index refers to a country’s level of industrial development. It compares that level with the one of the
European Union, using the following formula:
(cid:8)

(cid:9)

log(cid:137)(cid:133)Yi=POPi(cid:134)=(cid:133)Yue=POPue(cid:134)(cid:138)(cid:135)log(cid:137)Xi=Xue(cid:138)

where

Yi

Yue

= the beneficiary country’s gross national product,

= the European Union’s gross national product,

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.

2. Specialisation index

The specialisation index refers to the importance of a sector in the Community imports from a beneficiary country. It is
based on the ratio between that country’s share in imports from all countries, of all products of the sector concerned,
whether included in the preferential arrangements or not, and its share in all imports from all countries.
