EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

The World Trade Organization (WTO), in a number of rulings issued upon application of the 
European Communities (“the EC”) , has found the Foreign Sales Corporation subsidy scheme 
of  the  United  States  of  America  (“the  US”),  as  such  and  as  amended  by  the  Foreign  Sales 
Corporation and Extraterritorial Income (FSC-ETI) legislation to provide an illegal export tax 
subsidy  to  US  firms  to  the  tune  of  roughly  US  $ 4 billion  per  year  (as  of  year  2000). 
Following those rulings, on 7 May 2003 the EC was granted by the WTO the right to impose 
countermeasures,  in  the  form  of  additional  import  tariffs  of  up  to  100%  ad  valorem  on 
imports  of  certain  goods  from  the  United  States  (selected  after  consultation  of  the  public, 
Member  States  and  the  Commission  services),  up  to  the  amount  of  the  US  illegal  subsidy. 
Consequently, on 8 December 2003 the EC adopted Council Regulation (EC) No. 2193/2003 
establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United 
States of America1. 

Council Regulation  No.  2193/2003  provides for the repeal of  the countermeasures  upon the 
United  States’  full  implementation  of  the  recommendation  of  the  WTO  Dispute  Settlement 
Body2. 

Legislation foreseeing the repeal of the FSC-ETI legislation has now been adopted by the US 
(The  American  JOBS  Creation  Act  of  2004  –  “the  repeal  Act”).  The  repeal  of  the  FSC 
subsidy scheme represents a major and welcome step towards solving a long standing dispute. 
The repeal Act, however, includes transitional and grandfathering provisions which appear to 
be WTO incompatible. In particular, the repeal Act provides that FSC/ETI benefits will still 
be available to US exporters up to the end of 2006 (at the level of 80% and 60% for 2005 and 
2006  respectively)  and  in  some  cases  for  an  unlimited  period  thereafter.  A  WTO  dispute 
settlement  procedure  on  the  repeal  Act  has,  therefore,  been  initiated.  The  WTO  dispute 
settlement  procedure  will  rule  on  the  WTO  compatibility  of  the  transitional  and 
grandfathering provisions of the JOBS Act. In light of prior Appellate Body rulings, it can be 
expected that the WTO will rule that such provisions in the JOBS Act are WTO incompatible.  

The  Commission  considers  it  appropriate  to  suspend  the  application  of  current  EC 
countermeasures while the WTO dispute settlement proceedings are ongoing, and this despite 
the  US  refusal  to  do  the  same  in  respect  of  its  retaliation  against  the  EC  on  hormone  beef. 
There are 3 reasons for this proposed suspension: 1) As a sign of recognition that the US has, 
to  an  extent,  decided  to  live  up  to  its  international  obligations  in  this  case;  2)  As  an 
encouragement  to  the  US  to  continue  to  do  the  same  in  other  (current)  cases  of  US  non-
compliance  (such  as  Byrd,  hormones);  3)  For  systemic  reasons  (that  is  countermeasures 
should not be applied in the absence of a WTO ruling). 

These  dispute  settlement  proceedings  are  expected  to  be  concluded  in  2005.  It  should  be 
noted that the suspension of countermeasures is an autonomous act, which in no way affects 
the EC right to maintain countermeasures pursuant to the authorisation already granted by the 
DSB.  Thus,  countermeasures  will  be  reintroduced  by  1st  January  2006  (or  later  if  dispute 
settlement proceedings have not been concluded by then) at 60% of the currently authorised 
level unless the EC decides otherwise.

The  purpose  of  reintroducing  countermeasures  is  to  induce  the  US  to  fully  comply  with  its 
WTO obligations and, in particular, to take action to eliminate the distortion of competition 
arising from the maintenance of FSC/ETI subsidies. Therefore, prior to the reintroduction of 
countermeasures,  the  Commission  shall  present  a  report  to  the  Council  on  the  outcome  of 
dispute  settlement  proceedings  as  well  as  on  any  other  development.  Obviously 
countermeasures  should  not  be  reintroduced  if  competent  WTO  institutions  have  found  that 
the  repeal  Act  is  WTO  compatible  or  if  a  mutually  agreed  solution  is  found  which  would 
remove the continued violation.  

It is, therefore, proposed to suspend Council Regulation 2193/2003 (until 31 December 2005, 
or  until  60  days  after  the  WTO  confirms  the  WTO-incompatibility  of  the  remainder  of  the 
FSC subsidy, whichever comes later) and re-introduce countermeasures - at a reduced level so 
as to reflect the reduced FSC/ETI benefits made available to US exporters - as from 1 January 
2006, unless the Council following a proposal from the Commission decides otherwise before 
that date.  

Suspension of the countermeasures requires action by the Council under Article 133 of the EC 
Treaty.  A  new  Council  Regulation,  therefore,  suspending  Council  Regulation  2193/2003 
needs to be adopted following a proposal from the Commission.

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

amending and suspending the application of Regulation (EC) No 2193/2003 establishing 
additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States 
of America 

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 Commission3, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

On  7  May  2003,  the  Community  was  authorised  by  the  Dispute  Settlement  Body  of 
the  World  Trade  Organisation  (WTO)  to  impose  countermeasures  up  to  a  level  of 
USD  4,043  million  in  the  form  of  additional  100%  ad  valorem  [changed  to  italics] 
duties on certain products originating in the United States of America. Consequently, 
on 8 December 2003 the Community adopted Council Regulation (EC) No 2193/2003 
establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the 
United States of America.4 

It  is  considered  that,  following  the  adoption  of  the  American  Jobs  Creation  Act  of 
2004,  the  application  of  additional  duties  should  be  suspended  and  only  take  effect 
again  on  1 January  2006  or  60  days  after  the  Dispute  Settlement  Body  of  the  WTO 
confirms,  whichever  date  is  later,  the  incompatibility  of  certain  aspects  of  the 
abovementioned Act with WTO law. 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

1. 

The application of Regulation (EC) No 2193/2003 is hereby suspended.

Article 2 

Regulation (EC) No 2193/2003 shall be applicable again with effect from 1 January 
2006 or 60 days after the confirmation by the Dispute Settlement Body of the WTO, 
whichever  date  is  later,  that  certain  aspects  of  the  American  Jobs  Creation  Act  of 
2004 of the United States of America are inconsistent with the United States’ WTO 
obligations. 

Before  the  expiry  of  that  deadline,  the  Commission  shall  publish  a  notice  in  the 
Official Journal of the European Union that such confirmation has been given. 

Article 2.1 of Regulation (EC) No 2193/2003 is amended as follows:  

“1. A 14% ad valorem duty additional to the customs duty applicable under Council 
Regulation (EEC) No. 2913/925 shall be imposed on the products originating in the 
United States of America listed in the Annex to this Regulation.” 

Article 3 

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2193/2003 is replaced by the Annex set out in the 
Annex to this Regulation. 

Article 4 

This  Regulation  shall  enter  into  force  on  the  day  of  its  publication  in  the  Official 
Journal of the European Union. 

Article  3  shall  apply  with  effect  from  the  date  Regulation  (EC)  No  2193/2003 
becomes applicable again in accordance with Article 2(1). 

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
