COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC ) No 3896 / 89

of 18 December 1989

applying generalized tariff preferences for 1990 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 1 1 3
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 ended 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 system of generalized prefer ­
ences 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, the Community has therefore decided to
apply generalized tariff preferences, in the context of
the conclusions agreed in UNCTAD in accordance

(') OJ No C 165,3.7 . 1989, p. 1 .
0 OJ No C 256, 9 . 1 0 . 1 989, p . 1 50 .
O ) OJ No C 298, 27 . 11 . 1989, p. 46 .

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system means that the offer can be withdrawn wholly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 have responded, for
the most part, to the double imperative of the differen ­
tiation 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 primary products in part 1 of

Annex II,

— entitled to exemption from customs duties in the

Common Customs Tariff ;

No L 383 / 2 Official Journal of the European Communities 30 . 12 . 89

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
for products originating in the most competitive coun ­
tries and, on the other hand, by means of ceilings for
products in Annex I originating in other less competi ­
tive 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 1990
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 four additional products originating in those coun ­
tries, marked with three asterisks in Annex I to this

products mentioned above while the second criterion
applies to one product ;

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, preferential imports of products ori ­
ginating in the least developed of the developing coun ­
tries listed in Annex IV to this Regulation should not
be subject to fixed duty free amounts or Community
tariff ceilings ;

Whereas to reflect better in the preferential amounts
the development of commercial exchange flows of the
Community, these amounts have in general been
revised for 1990 with regard to the products of Annex I,
with a view to the overall improvement of the system ;

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 1990 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 ;

Regulation ; whereas the criteria to be adopted for such cated in part 3 of Annex II ;
a reduction are based on the competitive capacity of
the beneficiary country concerned, this capacity being

while recourse to the second criterion is made where alized preferences in order
the total imports of the product in question have, in earnings with a view to

exceeded by at least 10 times the tariff amount ;
whereas the first criterion applies to three of the four (') 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 (');

Whereas both Poland and Hungary have seen their
economic situation decline to the point where they face
similar problems as those countries to which the gener ­
alized preferences have applied in the past ; whereas
they should therefore benefit from the system of gener ­
alized preferences in order to increase their export
earnings with a view to stimulating their economic

30 . 12 . 89 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 383 / 3

development, to promote their industrialization and to
accelerate their rate of growth ; whereas the benefit
should only be accorded for the duration of their
economic restructuring, estimated at five years, without
prejudice to the annual character of the Community 's
system of generalized preferences ;

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 bene ­
fit from the scheme of generalized tariff preferences as
long as this situation continues ;

Whereas, since 1 March 1986, the Kingdom of Spain
and the Portuguese Republic have applied 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 was formerly
based 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 differ ­

ing 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 achieve ­
ment 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 appropriate,
besides, to foresee the possibility for the Member States
to effect drawings by reason of quantities correspond ­
ing to their needs ; whereas it is appropriate in respect
of certain highly sensitive products to administer the
fixed duty-free amounts over successive periods of six
months rather than over a single period of 12 months ;

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 amounts 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 ;

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 ( 2 ) and Commission Regulation ( EEC ) No 3040 /

83 ( 3 ), a procedure should be laid down to regularize
imports actually made within the fixed duty-free
amounts and 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 Com ­
mission 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 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 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

amounts may be carried out by any one of its members,

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 ­

Annex I, to each of the countries or territories listed in
Annex III, other than those listed in column 4 and
Yugoslavia . The limits of these ceilings are specified in
column 6 against each product or group of products .

Article 7

As soon as the individual ceilings, as fixed in accord ­
ance with Article 6 and which are laid down for
imports into the Community of products originating in
any of the countries or territories referred to in
Article 1 ( 2 ), are reached at Community level, the levy ­
ing of customs duties on imports of the products in
question originating in each of the countries and terri ­
tories concerned may be reintroduced until the end of
the period referred to in Article 1 ( 1 ).

Article 8

Where the preferential importation 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 an exchange
of views with the Member States .

The reference base to be considered when examining
the situation underlying the damage shall be, as a gen ­

tial tariff limit, if, particularly as a result of regulariza ­
tions of imports actually made during the period
referred to in Article 1 ( 1 ), these limits are exceeded .

The Member State which makes such regularization
shall communicate the figures of import charges relat ­
ing to this as and when it occurs to the Commission .
The Commission, on receiving these communications,
shall inform the other Member States thereof .
