COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC ) No 4257 / 88

of 19 December 1988

applying generalized tariff preferences for 1989 in respect of certain industrial products

originating in developing countries

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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

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, notably in respect of finished and
semi-finished industrial products from developing
countries ; whereas the initial 10-year period of applica ­
tion of this system of preferences expired on 31 Decem ­
ber 1980 ;

Whereas, however, the positive role played by this sys ­
tem in improving access for developing countries to the
markets of the preference-giving countries was recog ­
nized at the ninth session of the UNCTAD Special
Committee on Preferences ; whereas it was there agreed
that the objectives of the generalized preference scheme
would not be fully achieved by the end of 1980, that
consequently it should be prolonged beyond the initial
period and that an overall review of the system should
take place in 1990 ;

Whereas, therefore, the Community has decided to
apply generalized tariff preferences, in the context of

(') OJ No C 302, 28 . 11 . 1988, p . 1 .
0 OJ No C 326, 19 . 12 . 1988 .
( 3 ) OJ No C 318, 12 . 12 . 1988 .

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system means that the offer can be withdrawn wholly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 following implementation of the system,
including such situations in the African, Caribbean and
Pacific States ( ACP States );

Whereas, since the extension of its generalized tariff
preferences scheme for a second 10-year period ( 1981
to 1990 ), the Community has decided to modify one of
the fundamental characteristics of it to give the benefi ­
ciary countries a more equitable access to the preferen ­
tial advantages ; whereas, in order to attain this, the
Community had decided to apply a preferential treat ­
ment which takes account of the particular situation of
each of the beneficiaries and to proceed to a system of
individual tariff ceilings for certain sensitive products ;
whereas the least-developed countries are not subject
to ceilings ; whereas, ever since then, the annual adap ­
tations of the Community scheme responds, for the
most part, to the double imperative of the differentia ­
tion of the preferential advantages and of simplifica ­
tions ; whereas the identification of the products and
the countries to treat selectively takes place with regard
to the sensitivity of the sectors and to the Community
market situation of the products in question as well as
consideration of the degree of industrial development
and the competitiveness of these countries ;

Whereas preferential tariff treatment is applicable to
industrial products of Chapters 25 to 49 and 64 to 97 of
the Common Customs Tariff, with the exception of
products :

— covered by the Treaty establishing the European

Coal and Steel Community,

— contained in the list of basic products in part 1 of

Annex II,

No L 375 / 2 Official Journal of the European Communities 31 . 12 . 88

— entitled to exemption from customs duties in the

Common Customs Tariff ;

Whereas the tariff ceiling arrangements mentioned
above must be applied in such a way as to differentiate
between products in Annex I ; whereas the tariff
regimes necessary to implement these arrangements
consist, on the one hand, of fixed duty-free amounts
and tariff quotas for products originating in the most
competitive countries and, on the other hand, by means
of ceilings for products in Annex I originating in other
less competitive countries ;

Whereas the other products covered by this Regulation
should as a general rule, be made subject to surveill ­
ance for essentially statistical purposes ;

Whereas, since the intermediate revision of the scheme
for the years 1986 to 1990, the Community has estab ­
lished that :

— the latter responds satisfactorily to the fixed objec ­

tives,

— the beneficiary countries continue, however, to use

the preferential advantages in an unequal manner,

— the objectives of the scheme have been reached in

certain cases by the most competitive beneficiary
countries ;

Whereas, on the basis of these considerations, the
Community has decided :

— - to maintain for the second half of the decade the

fundamental characteristics of the scheme, notably
the grant, within certain limits, of the total suspen ­
sion of custom duties,

— to accentuate the differentiation of the preferential

advantages from which the most competitive coun ­
tries benefit and to enlarge at the same time the pre ­
ferential access to the least competitive countries ;

Whereas provision should be made to continue in 1989
the process of differentiation begun in 1986 concerning
the grant of advantages under the scheme to the more
competitive countries — both in terms of market share
and export capacity — and whereas it is therefore
appropriate to reduce the preferential amounts by 50 %
for 12 additional products orginating in those coun ­
tries, marked with three asterisks in Annex I to this

Regulation ;

Whereas, for the same reasons, the process of revision
was extended to the reference bases, taking into consid ­
eration the examination of the situation resulting from
preferential importations of other products covered by
this Regulation ; whereas, at the same time, the method
of calculation of the abovementioned reference bases

has been revised, and for this purpose a percentage of
total importations for each of these products into the
Community has been taken into account ; whereas,
according to the new method of calculation, the refer ­
ence bases for 1989 correspond in general to 6 % of the
total imports into the Community in 1987 of each of
the products concerned originating in a third country ;
whereas products subject to reference bases corres ­
ponding to 2 % only of the said importations are indi ­
cated in part 3 of Annex II ;

uct being referred to, while recourse to the second crite ­
rion is made where the total imports of the product in
question have, in accordance with the mean of the
years 1986 and 1987, exceeded by at least 10 times the
tariff quota amount ; whereas the first criterion applies
to seven of the 12 products mentioned above while the
second criterion applies to five products ;

Whereas the abovementioned reasons that have justi ­
fied the criteria of competitiveness remain valid and
whereas the maintenance of preferential benefit for the
most competitive countries is not justified and a redis ­
tribution of the supply is necessary ; whereas it is
appropriate to pursue the differentiation and to initiate
the suppression of the preferential benefit for certain
countries for six additional products per country, desig ­
nated by a footnote, meeting the first criterion and
which have previously been reduced by 50 % ;

Whereas, however, in the multilateral trade negotia ­
tions, in accordance with paragraph 6 of the Tokyo
Declaration, the Community reaffirmed that special
treatment should, whenever possible, be granted to the
least developed among the developing countries ;
whereas, therefore, charges on preferential importations
of on products originating in the least developed of the
developing countries listed in Annex IV to this Regula ­
tion should not be subject to fixed duty free amounts,
tariff quotas or Community ceilings ;

Whereas to reflect better in the preferential amounts
the development of commercial exchange flows of the
Community, these amounts must be revised in 1989
with regard to the products of Annex I, with a view to
the overall improvement of the system ;

Whereas the criteria to be adopted for such a reduction
are based on the competitive capacity of the benefici ­ ponding to 2 % only of the

cated in part 3 of Annex II ;

ary country concerned, this capacity being expressed in
the case of a specific product either by this country 's
participation in the Community 's total imports or by Whereas such tariff
the ratio of the preferential volume amount opened for products originating in the
this same country country to ; whereas the total, in Community addition, the imports level of from econo the ­ consideration being determined, the by concept
mic development of the country concerned has also
been taken into account ; whereas, with regard to the
application of the first criterion, a share has been set at
20% of the 1987 total extra-EEC imports of the prod ­ (') OJ No L 77, 22 . 3 . 1988, p. 1 .

Whereas such tariff exemptions should be reserved for
products originating in the countries or territories under
consideration, the concept of ' originating products '
being determined by Regulation ( EEC ) No 693 / 88 (');

31 . 12 . 88 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 375 / 3

Whereas the Community preference arrangements
applicable to Yugoslavia result exclusively from the
Agreement between the Community and the Socialist
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (');

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, 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, regarding the fixed duty-free amounts given
in Annex I, the method of management has been
founded until now on an apportionment of most of the
amounts between the Member States ; whereas the ana ­
lysis of the utilization of these volumes shows a state of
differing situations among the Member States, one or
two reaching their individual amounts very quickly,
while others disposed of their unused quantities until
the end of the exercise ; whereas, regarding the fact that
they are Community measures and with the view to the
achievement of the internal market foreseen by the
' White Paper ' for 1992, it is not, in general, appropriate
to foresee an apportionment among Member States ;
whereas the new method of management is open, furth ­
ermore, to improve the utilization of the said fixed
duty-free amounts in that it allows the covering of the
needs there where they are seen ; whereas it is appro ­
priate, besides, to foresee the possibility for the Mem ­
ber States to effect drawings by reason of quantities
corresponding to their needs ;

Whereas, in respect of these fixed duty-free amounts, it
is necessary in particular to ensure equal and contin ­
uous access for all Community importers and to ensure
uninterrupted application of the rate laid down for
those quotas to all imports of the products concerned
into all the Member States until the amounts are used
up ; whereas, to this end, and in the context of such an
arrangement, the actual charges against the amounts
could relate only to products entered for free circula ­
tion and accompanied by a certificate of origin ;

Whereas, if a considerable balance remains in one of
the fixed duty-free-amount shares of one or other
Member 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 ;

(') OJ No L 147, 4.6 . 1981, p . 6 ; OJ No L 41, 14.2 . 1983,
p . 1 .

Whereas according to the case law of the Court of Jus ­
tice it is illegal to allocate Community quotas among
the Member States unless compelling circumstances of
an administrative, technical or economic character
make it impossible to do otherwise ; whereas in addi ­
tion 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 it is impossible within the brief period before
the entry into force of this Regulation for the adminis ­
trations of the Member States to create the administra ­

tive and technical infrastructure required for central ­
ized administration of the quotas for certain industrial
products set out in Annex I, it being in particular
impossible to synchronize computer programmes
between the Member States and the Commission ;
whereas the technical equipment available to the
administrations of the Member States varies from one

to another, thus making it uncertain that within the
short time available it would be possible to ensure effi ­
cient, secure and even-handed administration of the
centralized scheme in 1989 ; whereas it is anticipated
that these compelling circumstances will not re-occur in

1990 and thereafter ;

Whereas it is appropriate to provide for a protective
mechanism by the establishment of a Community
reserve of 30% with a system of automatic transfer
from the Member States to the reserve of their allocated

shares once the reserve has been used up to the 80%
level ;

Whereas for certain products in 1909 the application of
the generally accepted principles in respect of the
apportionment of the Community tariff quotas which
have been opened hitherto cannot be reconciled with
the continuity necessary for the application of the tariff
preferences concerned ; whereas it would accordingly
be advisable to adopt on a provisional basis a fixed
scale for apportioning the Community tariff quotas
concerned among the Member States ; whereas, using
as a basis general economic criteria relating to external
trade, gross national product and population, the per ­
centages for the initial shares of the Member States in
the quota amounts are as follows for the quota year
under consideration :

Benelux 1 0,0 %
Denmark 4,6 %
Germany 24,3 %
Greece 1,9 %
Spain 5,9 %
France 1 7,8 %
Ireland 0,9 %
Italy 1 5,0 %
Portugal 1,5 %
United Kingdom 18,1 %

Whereas, however, taking into account the more pre ­
cise information already available concerning trade in

No L 375 / 4 Official Journal of the European Communities 31 . 12 . 88

certain types of plywood, blockboard, laminboard, bat ­
tenboard and similar laminated products the above ­
mentioned percentages should be adjusted as follows :

Benelux 4,40 %
Denmark 5,90 %
Germany 7,69 %
Greece 0,19 %
Spain 2,09 %
France 0,30 %
Ireland 2,02 %
Italy 0,86 %
Portugal 0,16%
United Kingdom 76,40 %

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, as a general rule,
be divided into two tranches, the first being appor ­
tioned among Member States and the second held as a
reserve to cover the subsequent requirements of Mem ­
ber 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 about 70 % of the quota volumes ;

Whereas if, in the course of the quota period, the Com ­
munity reserve is almost fully used, it is essential that
the Member States return to the said reserve all of the
unused part of their shares, in order to ensure that part
of a Community tariff quota does not remain unused in
a Member State when it could be utilized in others ;

Whereas, in the case of the Community tariff ceilings
listed in Annex I, the desired objectives may be
attained by applying a method of administration based
on the charging at Community level, against the above ­
mentioned ceilings, of imports of the products con ­
cerned as and when these products are entered for free
circulation and are accompanied by a certificate of ori ­
gin ; whereas this method of administration must make
provision for the reintroduction of the levying of cus ­
toms duties, in accordance with the appropriate proce ­
dures, as soon as the said ceilings are reached at Com ­
munity 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

(') OJ No L 175, 12.7 . 1979, p . 1 .
0 OJ No L 297, 29 . 10 . 1983, p . 13 .

imports actually made within the fixed duty-free
### amounts, tariff quotas and / or preferential tariff limits

opened under this Regulation, and thus provision
should be made for the Commission to be able to take

appropriate measures ; whereas, in order that these
regularizations do not lead to tariff ceilings being con ­
siderably exceeded, it is appropriate to foresee at the
same time that the Commission can take measures to
stop the import charges ;

Whereas, in the case of the products other than those
listed in Annex I, provision should be made for the
possibility of reintroducing the levying of customs
duties in exceptional cases and in accordance with
appropriate procedures arid rules ; whereas, taking into
account the necessity of initiating the examination of
certain economic factors relating to the importations of
a specific product, it is appropriate that the reintroduc ­
tion of the levying of custom duties is preceded by an
appropriate exchange of information between the
Member States and the Commission and an exchange
of views ;

Whereas such methods of administration call for close
and particularly rapid cooperation between Member
States and the Commission ; whereas such cooperation
should be particularly close in view of the need for the
Commission to be able to take appropriate measures to
reintroduce the levying of customs duties when any of
the ceiling are reached ;

Whereas it is necessary to establish complete statistics
on imports admitted in accordance with the provisions
of the present Regulation and to apply to the collec ­
tion, preparation and transmission of these statistics
Council Regulations ( EEC ) No 1736 / 75 ( 3 ) and ( EEC )
No 3367 / 87 ( 4 );

Whereas, in order to ensure a better transparency of the
system, it is necessary to publish both the annual
charges recorded against the tariff measures and the
tariff ceilings which have reached the 100 % level ;

Whereas, for the purposes of applying this Regulation,
the rates of conversion into national currencies of the
value in ecus in which the preferential amounts are
expressed shall be those fixed on the first working day
of October 1988 and they shall remain in force from

1 January to 31 December 1989 ( 5 );

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, all transactions concerning,
in particular, the administration of fixed duty-free ­
amount or tariff-quota shares allocated to that econo ­
mic union may be carried out by any one of its mem ­
bers,
