Commission proposals to the Council fixing the Community's scheme of generalized

tariff preferences for 1989

_COM(88)_ _352_ _final/2_

_(Submitted_ _by_ _the Commission on 24 June 1988)_

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N o . . .

of...

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

(88/C 302/01)

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 Commission ('),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ( [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 Economic 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 application of this system of preferences expired on 31 December 1980;

Whereas, however, the positive role played by this system in improving access for developing countries to the
markets of the preference-giving countries was recognized 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

(-) OJ No C ...
(•') OJ No C ...

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
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system means that the offer can be withdrawn wholly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 possibility of remedying any unfavourable situations which
might arise following implementation of the system,
including such situations in the African, Caribbean an
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 beneficiary countries a more equitable access to the preferential advantages; whereas, in order to attain this, the
Community had decided to apply a preferential treatment 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 adaptations of the Community scheme responds, for the
most part, to the double imperative of the differentiation of the preferential advantages and of simplifications; 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

t ^ o C ^ B 2 Official journal of the European Communities ^ IIm^D

market situation of the products in question as well as
considerationof the decree of industrialdevelopment
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 bv the Lreatv establishing the European
Coal and ^teelCommunitv,

— contained in the list of basic products inpartl of
Annex 11,

— entitled to exemption from customs duties in the
Common Customs Tariffs

whereas the tariff ceiling arrangements mentioned
above must be applied in suchawav as to differentiate
between products in Annexe whereas the tariff
regimes necessarv to implement these arrangements
consist on the one hand of tixeddutv tree amounts for
products originating in the most competitive countries
and, on the other hand, bv means of ceilings for prod^
ucts in Annexe originating in other less competitive
countries^

Whereas the other products covered bv this Ke^ulation
should asa^eneralrule,be made subject to surveilP
ance for essentially statisticalpurposes^

Whereas, since the intermediate revision of the scheme
for the vearsl9^tol990, the Community has estabD
lishedthat^

— the latter responds satisfactorilv to the fixed ob^ec^
tives,

— the beneficiarv countries continue, however, to use
the preferential advantages in an unequal manner,

— the objectives of the scheme have been reached in
certain cases bv the most competitive beneficiarv
countries^

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

— tomaintainfor the second halfof the decadethe

fundamental characteristics of the scheme, notablv
the ^rant,within certain limits, of the total susoen
sion of custom duties,

— to accentuate the differentiation of the preferential
advantages fromwhich the most competitive counD
tries benetit and to enlarge at the same time the pre^
ferential access to the least competitive countries^

Whereas provision should be made to continue in!9^9
the process of differentiation be^un in 19^6 concerning

the ^rant of advantages under the scheme to the more
competitive countries — both in terms of market share
and exoort canacitv — and whereas it is therefore
appropriate to reduce the preferential amounts bv 5 0 ^
for twelve additional products or^inatin^ in those
countries, marked with three asterisks in Annexe to
this Regulations

Whereas the criteria to be adopted for suchareduction
are based on the competitive capacity of the benetici
arv countrv concerned, this caoacitvbein^ expressed in
the case ofaspeci^lc product either bv this countrv^s
narticipation intheCommunitv^stotalimportsorbv
the ratio of the preferential volume amount opened for
this countrv to the totalCommunitv imports fromthe
same countrv^ whereas, in addition, the level of econo
mic development of the countrv concerned has also
beenta^en intoaccounn whereas, with re^ardtothe
application of the first criterion,ashare has been set at
20^of the 19^7 total e x t r a ^ C imports of the prod
uctbein^ 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
vearsl9^6andl9^7,exceeded bv at least lOtimes the
tariffquota amounts whereas the first criterion applies
to seven of the twelve products mentioned above while
the second criterion apolies to tlve products^

Whereastheabovementionedreasonsthathave^usti
fied the criteria of competitivenessremain valid and
whereas the maintenance of preferential benefit for the
most competitive countries is not justified andaredis
tribution of the suppiv is necessarv^ whereas it is
appropriate to pursue the differentiation and to initiate
thesuppression of thepreferentialbenefitfor certain
countries forsix additional products per countrv,desi^
nated bv a footnote, meeting the first criterion and
which have previously been reduced bv 50 ^u

Whereas, however, in the multilateral trade ne^otia
tions, in accordance with para^raph6 of the Lolovo
declaration, the Community reaffirmed that special
treatment should,whenever possible, be granted to the
least developed amon^ the developing countries^
whereas, therefore, charges on preferential importations
of on products originating in the least developed of the
developing countries listed in Annex PV to this Re^ula
tion should not be subject tofixeddutv^ree amounts
orCommunitvceilin^s^

Whereas toreflectbetter in thepreferential amounts
the develonmentofcommercial exchange flows of the
Community, these amounts must be revised in 19^
with regard to the orodncts of Annexe

Whereas, for the same reasons, the process of revision
was extended to the reference bases, taldn^ into consid

28. 11.88 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 302/3

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 reference bases for 1989 correspond in general to 6 % of the
total importations into the Community in 1987 of each
of the products concerned originating in a third country; whereas products subject to reference bases corresponding to 2 % only of the said importations are indicated in part 3 of Annex II;

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 (');

Whereas the Community preference arrangements
applicable to Yugoslavia result exclusively from the
Agreement between the Community and the Socialist
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ( [2] );

Whereas the Republic of Korea does not treat the Community 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 protection of intellectual property; whereas, therefore, it is
inappropriate that the Republic of Korea should benefit 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 Community system of generalized preferences, in compliance with Articles 178 and 365 of the Act of Accession;

Whereas, regarding the amounts given in Annex I (previously referred to as quotas), the method of management has been founded until now on an apportionment
of most of the amounts between the Member States;
whereas the analysis 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
appropriate to foresee an apportionment among Member States; whereas the new method of management is
open, furthermore, 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

(') OJNoL77, 22. 3. 1988, p. 1.
O OJ No L147, 4.6. 1981, p. 6; OJ No L 41, 14.2. 1983,
p. 1.

appropriate, besides, to foresee the possibility for the
Member 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 continuous 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 circulation 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;

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 abovementioned ceilings, of imports of the products concerned as and when these products are entered for free
circulation and are accompanied by a certificate of origin; whereas this method of administration must make
provision for the reintroduction of the levying of customs duties, in accordance with the appropriate procedures, as soon as the said ceilings are 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 ( [3] ) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3040/
83 ( [4] ), a procedure should be laid down to regularize
imports actually made within the fixed duty free
amounts 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 considerably 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

(•) OJ No L 175, 12. 7. 1979, p. 1.
( [4] ) OJ No L 297, 29. 10. 1983, p. 13.

No C 302/4 Official Journal of the European Communities 28. 11.88

possibility of reintroducing the levying of customs
duties in exceptional cases and in accordance with
appropriate procedures and 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 reintroduction of the levying of custom duties is preceded by a
consultation between the Member States and the Commission;

Whereas such methods of adminsitration 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 collection, preparation and transmission of these statistics
Council Regulations (EEC) No 1736/75(0 and (EEC)
No 3367/87 ( [2] );

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 ecu 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 ( [3] );

Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom
of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the
Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning,
in particular, the administration of fixed duty free
amount shares allocated to that economic union may
be carried out by any one of its members,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

_Article 1_

1. From 1 January to 31 December 1989 the customs

_Article_ _3_

The fixed duty free amounts shall be administered by
the Commission.

If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration
of entry into free circulation, including a request for
preferential benefit for a product, accompanied by a
certificate of origin and subject to a fixed duty free
amount, and if this request 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 Member 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 corresponding amount.

If the quantities requested 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 requests.
Member States shall be informed by the Commission in
accordance with the same procedures.

_Article_ _4_

1. The Commission shall keep account of the quantities drawn by the Member States conforming to
Article 3 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 publication in the _Official Journal of the European Communi-_
_ties_ ('C'Series).

2. The Member States shall take all the appropriate
measures to ensure that the drawings that they effect
pursuant to Article 3 may be charged without interruption 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.

_Article 5_

By 28 February 1990 at the latest, Member States shall
notify the Commission of the final total of the quantities charged at 31 December 1989. Up to the limit of
the balance remaining, and at the request of the Member States, the Commission shall authorize the Member
States to make any necessary regularization of the
quantities charged against imports actually made
during the period referred to in Article 1(1). The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

the period referred to in Article 1(1).

_Article_ _8_

Where the preferential imports of products other than
those listed in Annex I, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, causes or threatens to cause economic difficulties in the Community, or in a region of the
Community, the levying of customs duties may be reintroduced, once the Commission has had an appropriate
exchange of information and if necessary, a consultation with the Member States.

The reference base to be considered when examining
the situation underlying the damage shall be, as a general rule, equal to 6 % of the total importations into the
Community, originating from third countries in 1987.

_Article 9_

1. The Commission shall reintroduce the levying of
customs duties in respect of any of the countries or territories referred to in Article 1 (2), under the conditions
laid down in Articles 7 and 8, by means of a Regulation.

In the case of such reintroductions, Spain and Portugal
shall reintroduce the levying of customs duties that
they shall apply to third countries on the date in question.

2. By means of a Regulation, the Commission may,
even after 31 December 1989, take measures to stop
quantities being charged against one or other preferential tariff limit, if, particularly as a result of regularizations of imports actually made during the period
referred to in Article 1(1), these limits are exceeded.
