COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC ) No 4259 / 88

of 19 December 1988

applying generalized tariff preferences for 1989 to textile products originating in develop ­

ing countries

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Economic Community, in particular Article 113,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commis ­
sion ('),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parlia ­
ment ( 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 Econo ­
mic Community opened generalized tariff preferences,
commencing in 1971, with particular reference to fin ­
ished and semi-finished industrial products froip devel ­
oping countries ; whereas the initial 10-year period of
application of this system of preferences ended on
31 December 1980 ;

Whereas the positive role played by this system in
improving access for developing countries to the mar ­
kets of the preference-giving countries was recognized
at the ninth session of the UNCTAD Special Com ­
mittee on Preferences ; whereas it was there agreed that
the objectives of the generalized preferences system
would not be fully attained by the end of 1980, that it
should consequently be prolonged beyond the initial
period and that an overall review of the system should
take place in 1990 ;

Whereas the Community has therefore decided to
apply generalized tariff preferences, in the context of
the conclusions agreed in UNCTAD in accordance
with the intention expressed in the said Committee, in
particular by all the preference-giving countries ;

Whereas the temporary and non-binding nature of the
system means that the offer can be withdrawn wholly
or in part at a later date, thus maintaining the possibil ­
ity of remedying any unfavourable situations which
might arise in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States

( ACP States ) as a result of the system 's implementa ­
tion ;

Whereas, however, most of the preference-giving coun ­
tries exclude textile products from preferential treat ­
ment ; whereas, under the Community scheme of gener ­
alized preferences, these products have always been
covered by special arrangements pursuant to which, for
cotton textile and similar products, the preferences
were originally granted in the form of duty-free ceilings
only to those beneficiaries under the generalized prefer ­
ences scheme which were signatories to the Long-Term
Arrangement regarding International Trade in Cotton
Textiles ( LTA ) or which undertook, vis-a-vis the Com ­
munity, commitments similar to those existing under
that Arrangement ;

Whereas the Long-Term Arrangement has been
replaced from 1980 onwards by the Arrangement
regarding International Trade in Textiles ( MFA ), and
the Community has therefore, in the case of products
covered by the MFA, reserved preferences in the form
of duty-free ceilings, for products originating in those
countries or territories which signed Bilateral Agree ­
ments, in the framework of the MFA, providing for
quantitative limitation of their exports of certain textile
products to the Community, or in those countries
which undertook similar commitments vis-a-vis the
Community ; whereas, such commitments have been
undertaken by Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador,
Honduras, Iran, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Venezuela ;
whereas for these products, it is therefore desirable that
the Community should continue to apply the general ­
ized tariff preferences on the basis of the same princi ­
ples until the expiry of the MFA and the Bilateral
Agreements concluded with certain supplier countries ;
whereas it should be provided that countries and terri ­
tories accepting the renewal of such agreements or giv ­
ing such commitments after the date of adoption of this
Regulation and before 1 January 1989 will be accorded
preferential treatment as from 1 February 1989 in res ­
pect of the entire volume provided for in this Regula ­
tion ; whereas countries and territories which accept the
renewal of the said agreements or enter into similar
commitments after 1 January 1989 will be accorded
preferential treatment from the first day of the second
month following the date of commitment, in respect of
a volume calculated in proportion to the period of the
year from the first day of the month following the date
of the commitment until 31 December 1989 ;

No L 375 / 84 Official Journal of the European Communities 31 . 12 . 88

Whereas, in view of the special nature which trade in
the products concerned may have, it would appear that
the volumes of preferential imports should be deter ­
mined in terms of tonnes, pieces, or pairs, as appro ­
priate ;

Whereas according to the case law of the Court of Jus ­
tice it would be illegal to allocate Community quotas
among the Member States unless compelling circum ­
stances of an administrative, technical or economic
character make it impossible to do otherwise ; whereas
in addition in cases where allocation is decided upon a
mechanism is to be provided so as to protect the integr ­
ity of the common customs tariff ;

Whereas certain economic and administrative con ­

straints exist which justify in conformity with the Com ­
missions proposal the continued allocation among the
Member States of the Community quotas in the textile

sector ;

Whereas, in order to ensure that each of the countries
or territories referred to above has access to the prefer ­
ential volumes, quotas and separate tariff ceilings for
each beneficiary should be specified for each category
of products, and in view of the links which continue to
exist with international control of trade in textiles, it is
appropriate to allocate these quotas between the Mem ­
ber States according to the scale contained within the

MFA framework, establishing for each of the Member
States initial participation percentages as follows :

Benelux 9,5 %
Denmark 2,7 %
Germany 25,5 %
Greece 1,5 %
Spain 7,5 %
France 16,5 %
Ireland 0,8 %
Italy 1 3,5 %
Portugal 1,5 %
United Kingdom 21,0%

Whereas, to take account of future import trends in the
various Member States in respect of the tariff quotas
given in Annex I and to mitigate any inadequacy in the
initial allocation, the quotas should be divided into two
tranches, the first being apportioned among Member
States and the second held as a reserve to cover the
subsequent requirements of Member States which have
exhausted their initial shares ;

Whereas, moreover, the reserve thus constituted tends
to avoid making the system of utilization of the quota
excessively rigid, to the detriment of each of the devel ­
oping countries concerned, and contributes to achiev ­
ing the aim already mentioned of improving the gener ­
alized preferences system ; whereas, to this end and to
accord importers in each Member State some degree of
security, the first tranche of the Community quota
should be fixed at 70 % of the quota volumes ;

Whereas Member States may exhaust their initial
shares for the tariff quotas given in Annex I at different

rates ; whereas, to avoid disruption of supplies on this
account, it should be provided that each Member State
which has almost used up one of its initial shares
should draw an additional share from the correspond ­
ing reserve ; whereas this must be done by each Mem ­
ber State as and when each of its additional shares is
almost entirely used up and repeated as many times as
each of the reserves allows ; whereas each of these ini ­
tial and additional shares must be available for use
until the end of the quota period ;

Whereas, if, in the course of the quota period, the Com ­
munity reserve is almost fully used, Member States may
return to the said reserve the unused part of their initial
and, where applicable, complementary shares in order
that part of a Community tariff quota which remains
unused in a Member State may eventually be utilized
in others ;

Whereas, however, it is impossible to implement in

1989 the system of automatic transfer for the unused
parts of Member States ' allocated shares without caus ­
ing severe economic hardship to the Portuguese
Republic where the textile sector provides employment
for 28,5 % of the industrial workforce and accounts for
more than 32 % of export earnings, the Community
market absorbing more than 60 % of these exports ;

Whereas special arrangements of a temporary character
for trade in textile products between Spain and Portu ­
gal and the other Member States were deemed neces ­
sary in view of the full application of the EEC Treaty
rules by the Treaty of Accession of the Kingdom of

Spain and the Portuguese Republic of 12 June 1985 ;
whereas it is appropriate to align the termination of the
present mechanism based on the voluntary return of
Member States ' unused shares to the Community
reserve with the termination of the aforementioned

special arrangements ;

Whereas it is intended that a mechanism to protect the
Common Customs Tariff of the kind referred to by the
Court in its Judgment will be introduced with effect
from 1 January 1990 ;

Whereas for other textile products and apparel listed in
Annex II, it appears possible to grant the preferences to
the countries or territories which are normally benefi ­
ciaries in the other industrial sectors ;

Whereas, for jute and coir products, it was understood
that the preferences would be granted only where
special arrangements had been made with the export ­
ing developing countries ; whereas these arrangements
have hitherto concerned India and Sri Lanka for coir
products, and India and Thailand for jute products ;
whereas, it would be appear desirable to maintain also
the preferential advantage to the least-developed coun ­
tries in respect of jute and coir ;

31 . 12 . 88 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 375 / 85

Whereas the Republic of Korea does not treat the Com ­
munity on an equal footing with other trade partners
and whereas it has taken discriminatory measures in
respect of the Community in the sphere of the protec ­
tion of intellectual property ; whereas therefore it is
inappropriate that the Republic of Korea should ben ­
efit from the scheme of generalized tariff preferences as
long as this situation continues ;

Whereas the MFA agreement was renewed for a period
of five years from 1 August 1986 ; whereas in the con ­
text of the five-yearly review of the GSP scheme, the
Community decided to initiate a revision of the textile
scheme in 1987 ; whereas this revision extends over two
years and aims for, in particular, an improvement of
the scheme, a better distribution and management sim ­
plifications ;

Whereas the preferential advantages are not used
equally by beneficiary countries and it is necessary to
ensure a more balanced usage of these advantages, par ­
ticularly for the less cpmpetitive countries, in order to
improve preferential access for these latter countries, it
is necessary to institute a new phase of differentiation
between beneficiary countries of the preferential bene ­
fits ; this differentiation comprises withdrawal of the
abovementioned advantages for certain product cate ­
gories originating in the most competitive countries the
criterion adopted being based on the competition capa ­
city of the beneficiary country concerned, the capacity
being expressed, for individual product categories, by
that country 's participation in total Community
imports ; whereas for the application of this criterion a

10% share of the total extra-EEC imports averaged
over three years ( 1983, 1984, 1985 ) is taken ; whereas it
is necessary to make adjustments to this criterion
when ;

— the gross national product per head of the count

concerned is low and the country does not provide
more than 5 % of total Community imports of tex ­
tile products and apparel,

— the total exports of textile products of the country

concerned comprise almost exclusively a single
product ;

Whereas particular measures are applicable, according
to the sensitivity of products, to countries with a low
gross national product per capita whose share in the
total ' Community imports of textile products exceed
5% ;

Whereas the level of economic development of the
country concerned has also been taken into account for
these products ;

Whereas the revisions of the preferential quantities
made for 1984, 1985 and 1986 did not permit substan ­
tial improvements in the offer which does not currently
reflect the reality of commercial trends nor respond to
the needs of the less-developed producer countries nor
permit real growth in the textile scheme ; whereas, there
is therefore a need to update the volumes opened and
revise the calculation method for these quantities ;
whereas it seems appropriate to take into account a
fixed percentage of total Community imports for each
category of products ;

Whereas, according to this new method of calculation,
for each beneficiary country, the quantity opened cor ­
responds in general to 1 % of total Community imports
of the category of products in question, excepting the
most competitive countries for Which the quantities
opened are 0,2 % of these imports ;

Whereas the other textile products and apparel listed in
Annex II can be attained by providing for each cate ­
gory of product individual tariff limits per beneficiary,
corresponding in general to 5 % of total Community
imports of the product categories in question ; whereas
allocation amongst Member States is not appropriate
where Community measures are concerned ;

Whereas the fixed duty-free amounts and ceilings meet
this objective ; whereas, as regards fixed duty free
amounts, it is necessary to provide for Member States
to effect drawings on the quantities opened by means
of quantities corresponding to their needs ;

Whereas, if a considerable balance remains in one of
the fixed duty-free amount shares of one or other Mem ­
ber State, it is essential that that Member State returns
it in order to prevent a part of the Community amount
from remaining unused in one Member State when it
could be used in others ;

Whereas, in the multilateral trade negotiations, in
accordance with paragraph 6 of the Tokyo Declaration,
the Community reaffirmed that special treatment
should be granted, wherever this is possible, to the
least-developed developing countries appearing on the
list in Annex VI ;

Whereas the benefit of such preferential tariff treatment
should be reserved for products originating in the coun ­
tries or territories under consideration, the concept of
' originating products ' being determined in accordance
## with Regulation ( EEC ) No 693 / 88 (');

Whereas the Community preference arrangements
applicable to Yugoslavia for textile products result
exclusively from the provisions of the Agreement <
between the European Economic Community and the
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ( 2 );

Whereas from 1 March 1986, the Kingdom of Spain
and the Portuguese Republic shall apply the Com ­
munity system of generalized preferences, in compli ­
ance with Articles 178 and 365 of the Act of Accession ;

Whereas, consequently, for 1989 the Community
should open :

— for each of the categories of products covered by

Annex I, tariff quotas allocated amongst the Mem ­
ber States for each of the countries and territories
specified in column 5 of that Annex, and Com ­
munity tariff ceilings at a zero rate of duty for each
of the other countries and territories listed in

Annex IV ; the limits of the quantities opened are
indicated in columns 6 and 7 or 8 of Annex I,

— for each category of products shown in Annex II

and for each of the countries and territories speci ­
fied in Annex V, excluding Yugoslavia, fixed
amounts and Community tariff ceilings at a zero
rate of duty ; the limits of the quantities opened are
specified in columns 6 and 7 of the said Annex II,

— in respect of the manufactured jute and coir prod ­

ucts listed in Annex III, a total suspension of cus ­
toms duties for the beneficiary countries specified
in column 3 against each of the categories of prod ­
ucts shown in column 2 ;

Whereas, as regards the Community tariff quotas allo ­
cated among the Member States, and the fixed duty ­
free amounts :

— it is necessary to guarantee to all importers equal

and continuous access to the abovementioned quo ­
tas and fixed duty-free amounts and uninterrupted
application of the rates laid down for them to all
imports of the products concerned into all Member
States until they have been used up,

— drawings against the quotas and fixed duty-free

amounts can only be made for goods entered for
free circulation accompanied by a certificate of ori ­
gin ;

Whereas, as regards the Community tariff ceilings the
objectives sought may be achieved by applying a
method of administration based on the charging, at
Community level, of imports of the products in ques ­
tion against the ceilings as and when these products are
entered for free circulation and are accompanied by a
certificate of origin ; whereas this method of adminis ­
tration must make provision for the reintroduction of
the levying of customs duties as soon as the said ceil ­
ings are reached at Community level ;

Whereas the methods of administration for the prod ­
ucts listed in Annexes I and II call for close and parti ­
cularly rapid cooperation between Member States and

the Commission, which must, in particular, be able to
keep under observation the extent to which charges are
made against the fixed duty free amounts and the ceil ­
ings and inform Member States thereof ; whereas such
cooperation should be particularly close in view of the
need for the Commission to be able to take appropriate
measures to reintroduce customs duties, when any of
the ceilings is reached at Community level ;

Whereas, having regard to the rules applying to the
repayment or remission of import or export duties, and
in particular to Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1430 /
## 79 (') and Commission Regulation ( EEC ) No 3040 /

83 ( 2 ), a procedure should be laid down to regularize
imports actually made within the preferential tariff lim ­
its opened under this Regulation and thus provision
should be made for the Commission to be able to take

appropriate measures ; whereas, in order to avoid such
regularization causing excessive tariff ceiling overruns,
provision should at the same time be made for the
Commission to be able to terminate set-offs :

Whereas it is necessary to establish complete statistics
on imports admitted in accordance with the provisions
of this Regulation and to apply to the collection, pre ­
paration and transmission of these statistics Council
## Regulations ( EEC ) No 1736 / 75 0 and No 3367 / 87 ( 4 );

Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom
of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxem ­
bourg are united within and jointly represented by the

Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the
administration of the shares allocated to that economic

union or drawings by it on a fixed duty-free amount
may be carried out by any one of its members,

following provisions :

SECTION I

Provisions concerning the administration of the

Community tariff quotas

Article 2

The total suspension of customs duties within the
framework of the Community tariff quotas referred to
in Article 1 ( 1 ) concerns the categories of products in

specified individually in column 6 of that Annex with
regard to certain beneficiary countries or territories of
origin listed in column 5 of the same Annex .

Greece 1,5%
Spain 7,5 %
France 16,5%
Ireland 0,8 %
Italy 13,5%
Portugal 1,5 %

2 . Each Member State shall determine its own share
by applying the appropriate percentage to the volumes
indicated in column 6 of Annex I rounding up the
result to the next higher unit ( Kilogram, piece or pair ) if

necessary .

3 . The second tranche of each of the tariff quotas
shall constitute the reserve specified in each case in col ­
umn 7 of Annex I.

Article 4

1 . Where a Member State has used 90% or more of

one of its initial shares as fixed in Annex I, shall forth ­
with, by notifying the Commission, draw a second
share, to the extent that the reserve so permits, equal to

10% of its initial share, rounded up, should the
occasion arise, to the nearest unit .

2 . Where a Member State, after exhausting one of its
initial shares, has used 90% or more of the second
share drawn by it, that Member State shall draw a third
share, under the conditions laid down in paragraph 1,
equal to 5 % of its initial share .

3 . Where a Member State, after exhausting its second
share, has used 90 % or more of the third share drawn
by it, that Member State shall, under the same condi ­
tions, draw a fourth share equal to the third .

This process shall continue until the reserve has been
exhausted .

Article 5

Additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 4 shall be
Article 3 valid until 31 December 1989 .

1 . A first tranche of 70% of each of the Community

they may return to the reserve the quantities which
have not been used up .

No L 375 / 88 Official Journal of the European Communities 31 . 12 . 88

2 . Where in a Member State, which has effected a vol ­
untary return to the reserve, further requirements
appear, that Member State may draw on the corres ­
ponding reserve in accordance with the procedure laid
down in Article 4 .

Article 7

The Commission shall keep an account of the shares
opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 3
and 4 and shall, as soon as the information reaches it,
inform each Member State of the extent to which the

reserve has been used up .

It shall, not later than 15 October 1989 inform the
Member States of the amount still in reserve following
any return of shares pursuant to Article 6 .

It shall ensure that, when an amount exhausting the
reserve is drawn, the amount so drawn does not exceed
the balance available and to this end shall notify the
amount of that balance to the Member State making
the last drawing .

The Member States shall take all appropriate measures
to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to
Article 4 are opened in such a way that imports may be
charged without interruption against their cumulative
shares of the Community tariff quotas .

State a declaration of entry into free circulation, includ ­
ing a request for preferential benefit for a product sub ­
ject to a fixed duty-free amount and if this declaration

is accepted by the customs authorities the Member
State concerned shall draw, by means of notification to
the Commission, a quantity corresponding to its needs .

The requests for drawing, with the indication of the
date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be
communicated to the Commission without delay .

The drawings are granted by the Commission following
the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into
free circulation by the customs authorities of the Mem ­
ber State concerned, to the extent that the balance of
the said amount permits .

If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it
shall return them as soon as possible to the correspond ­
ing amount .

If the quantities requested corresponding to a certain
date are greater than the available balance of the fixed
duty-free amount, allocation shall be made on a pro

rata basis with respect to the requested quantities .
Member States shall be informed by the Commission
of the drawings made .

Article 10

Article 8

The Member States shall take all appropriate measures
to ensure free access to the shares which have been
allocated to them for importers of the products in ques ­
tion who are established in their territory .

SECTION II

Provisions concerning the administration of

fixed duty-free amounts

Article 9

1 . The total suspension of customs duties within the
framework of the fixed duty-free amounts referred to in
Article 1 ( 1 ) concerns the categories of products of
Annex II, for each of which the volume of the amount
is specified individually in column 6 of that Annex,
with regard to the countries or territories specified in
column 5 of the same Annex .

2 . Fixed duty-free amounts shall be administered by
the Commission . If an importer presents in a Member

1 . The Commission shall keep account of the quanti ­
ties drawn by the Member States conforming to Article
9 and shall inform each of them as soon as it receives
notification of the exhausting of the volumes opened .
It shall ensure that the drawing which uses up any of
these amounts is limited to the balance available and,
to this end, specify the amount to the Member State
which proceeds to the last drawing .

The fact that the fixed amounts have been used shall
forthwith be brought to the notice of Member States .
This communication shall be the subject of a publica ­
tion in the Official Journal of the European Communi ­

ties C Series .

2 . The Member State shall take all the appropriate
measures to ensure that the drawings that they effect
pursuant to Article 9 may be charged without interrup ­
tion against the fixed duty-free amounts .

Each Member state shall guarantee free access to these
amounts to the importers of the products in question as
far as the balance of the volumes opened permits .

General provisions

Article 14

By 28 February 1990 at the latest, Member States shall
notify the Commission of the final total of the quanti ­
ties charged and any balance of shares still unused at
31 December 1989 . Up to the limit of the balance
remaining, and at the request of the Member States, the

make any necessary regularization of the quantities
charged in respect of imports actually made during the
period referred to in Article 1 ( 1 ). The Commission
shall inform the other Member States thereof .

ritories specified in column 5 of this Annex, with
the exception of Yugoslavia .
Article 15

Articles 2, 9, 12 and 13 shall not apply to the countries
listed in Annex VI .

Article 12

As soon as the individual ceilings determined in
accordance with Article 1 1 are reached at the Com ­

munity level, the levying of customs duties on imports
of the products in question originating in each of the
countries or territories concerned may at any time be
reintroduced until the end of the period referred to in
Article 1 ( 1 ).

Article 13

The Commission shall reintroduce, by means of a
Regulation, the levying of customs duties in respect of
any one of the countries and territories referred to in
Article 1 ( 2 ), under the conditions laid down in
Article 12 .

In the case of such a reintroduction, Spain and Portu ­
gal shall reintroduce the levying of customs duties that
they shall apply to third countries on the date in ques ­
tion .

By means of a Regulation, the Commission may, even
after 31 December 1989, take measures to stop quanti ­
ties being charged against the Community tariff ceil ­
ings if, particularly as a result of regularizations of
imports actually made during the period referred to in
Article 1 ( 1 ), these ceilings are exceeded .

The Member State which initiates such regularizations
shall communicate to the Commission as and when the
figures of import charges relating thereto . The Commis ­
sion, on receiving these communications, shall inform
the other Member States thereof .

Article 16

1 . Imports of the products in question shall be
charged against the quota shares and the shares of the
fixed duty-free amounts of Member States and the
Community ceilings as and when the products are
entered for free circulation and are accompanied by a
certificate of origin pursuant to the rules referred to in
Article 1 ( 4 ).

2 . Goods may be charged against a ceiling or admit ­
ted under a national quota share only if the certificate
of origin referred to in paragraph 1 is presented before
the date on which the levying of duties is reintroduced .

3 . The extent to which the tariff quotas, fixed duty ­
free amounts and Community ceilings have been used
up shall be determined at Community level on the
basis of the imports charged in accordance with para ­
graph 1 .

Article 17

1 . The Member States shall, within six weeks of the
end of each quarter at the latest, forward to the Statisti ­
cal Office of the European Communities the relevant
