Under disse konsultationer konstaterede de to parter, at det paa baggrund af den indvundne erfaring ville vaere hensigtsmaessigt at indgaa et nyt arrangement med foelgende bestemmelser fra den 1. januar 1986: 1. Det europaeiske oekonomiske Faellesskab og republikken Finland har aftalt, at importafgifterne for de nedenfor anfoerte aarlige maengder af ost begraenses til foelgende: a) Ved indfoersel til Faellesskabet Oste henhoerende under pos. 04.04 i den faelles toldtarif, der har oprindelse i og er indfoert fra Finland, og som ledsages af et godkendt certifikat : >PIC FILE= "T0035796"> b) Ved indfoersel til Finland Oste henhoerende under pos. 04.04 i den finske toldtarif, der har oprindelse i og er indfoert fra Faellesskabet, og som ledsages af et godkendt kvalitets- og oprindelsesdokument: >PIC FILE= "T0035797"> 2.

Det europaeiske oekonomiske Faellesskab og republikken Finland drager omsorg for, at de gensidigt indroemmede fordele ikke fortabes som foelge af andre importforanstaltninger. 3. Det europaeiske oekonomiske Faellesskab og republikken Finland forpligter sig til hver isaer at paase, at de af deres eksportoerer anvendte priser ikke medfoerer vanskeligheder paa importlandets marked. Med henblik herpaa er de blevet enige om at indfoere en ordning med gensidig information og samarbejde, for hvilken de naermere enkeltheder er anfoert i bilaget til dette arrangement. Hvis der opstaar vanskeligheder med hensyn til de anvendte priser, vil der saa hurtigt som muligt og efter anmodning fra en af parterne blive foert konsultationer med henblik paa vedtagelse af passende reguleringsforanstaltninger. 4. De to parter kan til enhver tid holde konsultationer om gennemfoerelsen af dette arrangement, og de kan i givet fald efter faelles aftale aendre arrangementet under hensyn til udviklingen i markedspriserne, produktionen, afsaetningen og forbruget af hjemmeproduceret og indfoert ost. >PIC FILE= "T0035798"> Navnlig gaelder, at saafremt de maengder, der er fastsat for indfoersel til Faellesskabet og/eller til Finland, naas i loebet af et kontingentaar, afholder de to parter konsultationer efter anmodning fra en af parterne for at undersoege, om det er muligt at aendre de oprindeligt fastsatte maengder. 5.

text: og fuldt blive inddraget i udvidelsen af verdenshandelen med informationsteknologiprodukter.>TABELPOSITION>(1) På vegne af toldunionen mellem Schweiz og Liechtenstein.BILAG RETNINGSLINJER OG PRODUKTDÆKNING Ethvert medlem af Verdenshandelsorganisationen eller stat eller særskilt toldområde, der er i færd med at tiltræde WTO, kan deltage i udvidelsen af verdenshandelen med informationsteknologiprodukter efter følgende retningslinjer.1. Hver deltager indarbejder de i stk. 2 i erklæringen beskrevne foranstaltninger i sin liste til den almindelige overenskomst om told og udenrigshandel 1994 og tillige i enten sin egen toldposition eller sekscifrede position i det harmoniserede system (1996) (HS) eller enhver anden offentliggjort udgave af toldlisten, afhængigt af hvilken sædvanligvis anvendes af importører og eksportører. Deltagere, som ikke er medlemmer af WTO, gennemfører disse foranstaltninger på et autonomt grundlag i afventning af deres tiltrædelse af WTO og indarbejder disse foranstaltninger i deres WTO-markedsadgangsliste for varer.2. Med henblik herpå forelægger hver deltager så snart som muligt og senest den 1. marts 1997 alle de andre deltagere et dokument indeholdende a) de nærmere enkeltheder om, hvordan den relevante toldbehandling vil blive ydet i dens WTO-liste over indrømmelser, og b) en liste over de detaljerede HS-positioner for de varer, der er angivet i tillæg B. Disse dokumenter undersøges og godkendes ved konsensus, og undersøgelsen skal være afsluttet senest den 1. april 1997. Så snart undersøgelsen af sådanne dokumenter er afsluttet, forelægges disse som en ændring af den pågældende deltagers liste i overensstemmelse med afgørelse den 26. marts 1980 om procedurerne for ændring og berigtigelse af lister over toldindrømmelser (BISD 27S/25).a) Med de indrømmelser, der foreslås af hver deltager som ændringer af deres liste, bindes og afskaffes al told og andre afgifter af enhver art på informationsteknologiprodukter på følgende måde:i) afskaffelsen af tolden og afgifterne sker ved en satsnedsættelse i lige store rater, medmindre andet vedtages af deltagerne. Medmindre andet vedtages af deltagerne, skal hver deltager senest den 1. juli 1997 binde alle toldsatser for de produkter, der er angivet i tillæggene, og iværksætte en sådan satsnedsættelse senest den 1. juli 1997, den anden satsnedsættelse senest den 1. januar 1998 og den tredje satsnedsættelse senest den 1. januar 1999, idet toldafskaffelsen skal være gennemført senest den 1. januar 2000. Deltagerne er enige om at tilskynde til autonom afskaffelse af tolden inden disse datoer. Den nedsatte sats i hvert stadium afrundes til den første decimalii) afskaffelsen af andre afgifter af enhver art som omhandlet i artikel II, stk. 1, litra b), i den almindelige overenskomst skal være gennemført den 1. juli 1997, medmindre andet angives i deltagerens dokument, der forelægges de andre deltagere til undersøgelseb) De ændringer, som en deltager foreslår af sin liste med sigte på at gennemføre sin binding og afskaffelse af told på informationsteknologiprodukter, skal resultere i følgende:i) skabelse - i tilfældet med de HS-positioner, der er angivet i tillæg A - hvor det er muligt af underopdelinger af listen på nationalt toldpositionsplan, ogii) vedlæggelse - i tilfældet med de varer, der er angivet i tillæg B - af et bilag til listen indeholdende alle varer i tillæg B, som skal angive de


text: detaljerede HS-positioner for disse varer på enten nationalt toldpositionsplan eller sekscifret HS-positionsplan.Hver deltager skal straks ændre sin nationale tarif, således at den afspejler de ændringer, den har foreslået, så snart de er trådt i kraft.3. Deltagerne mødes med mellemrum under Rådet for Varehandels auspicier for at undersøge den i tillæggene angivne produktdækning med henblik på ved konsensus at vedtage, om tillæggene i lyset af den teknologiske udvikling, erfaringer med anvendelsen af toldindrømmelserne eller ændringer af HS-nomenklaturen bør ændres med sigte på indarbejdelse af nye varer, og for at føre konsultationer om ikke-toldmæssige hindringer vedrørende informationsteknologiprodukter. Sådanne konsultationer berører ikke rettigheder og forpligtelser i henhold til WTO-overenskomsten.4. Deltagerne mødes, så snart det er praktisk muligt og under alle omstændigheder senest den 1. april 1997 for at undersøge, hvilke accepter der er indgået, og for at vurdere, hvilke konklusioner der kan drages deraf. Deltagerne gennemfører de foranstaltninger, der er omhandlet i erklæringen, forudsat at deltagere, der repræsenterer ca. 90 % af verdenshandelen (1) med informationsteknologiprodukter, inden da har notificeret deres accept, og forudsat at der til deltagernes tilfredshed er nået til enighed om faseringen. I en vurdering af, hvorvidt de foranstaltninger, der er omhandlet i erklæringen, i tilfælde af at den procentdel af verdenshandelen, som deltagerne repræsenterer, ligger under 90 % af verdenshandelen med informationsteknologiprodukter, bør gennemføres, kan deltagerne tage hensyn til omfanget af deltagelsen af stater eller særskilte toldområder, der for dem repræsenterer den væsentlige del af deres egen handel med sådanne produkter. På dette møde fastslår deltagerne, hvorvidt disse kriterier er opfyldt.5. Deltagerne mødes så hyppigt, som det er nødvendigt, og senest den 30. september 1997 for at vurdere, om der er uoverensstemmelser mellem dem med hensyn til tarifering af informationsteknologiprodukter, idet man begynder med de varer, der er angivet i tillæg B. Deltagerne er enige om det fælles mål, som er om fornødent at nå til en fælles tarifering for disse varer i den bestående HS-nomenklatur under hensyntagen til fortolkningerne og afgørelserne fra Toldsamarbejdsrådet (også kendt som Verdenstoldorganisationen eller WCO). I alle tilfælde, hvor der fortsat består uoverensstemmelse med hensyn til tarifering, overvejer deltagerne, hvorvidt der bør rettes et fælles forslag til WCO om ajourføring af den bestående HS-nomenklatur eller om løsning af problemet ved en fortolkning af HS-nomenklaturen.6. Deltagerne er enige om, at artikel XXIII i den almindelige overenskomst kan anvendes i forbindelse med annullering eller begrænsning af de fordele, der følger direkte for et deltagende WTO-medlem af implementeringen af denne erklæring, som følge af et andet deltagende WTO-medlems anvendelse af enhver foranstaltning, uanset om denne foranstaltning er i strid med den almindelige overenskomst.7. Hver deltager skal velvilligt overveje enhver anmodning om konsultationer fra en anden deltager om de ovenfor omhandlede tilsagn. Sådanne konsultationer berører ikke rettigheder og forpligtelser i henhold til WTO-overenskomsten.8. Deltagerne underretter under Rådet for Varehandels auspicier de andre medlemmer af WTO og stater eller særskilte toldområder, der er i færd med at tiltræde WTO, om disse retningslinjer og indleder konsultationer med sigte på at lette deres deltagelse i udvidelsen af handelen med informationsteknologiprodukter på

A State Party in whose territory an alleged offender is found, if it does not extradite such person in respect of an offence to which this Article applies solely on the ground that he or she is one of its nationals, shall, at the request of the State Party seeking extradition, be obliged to submit the case without undue delay to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution.
