Title: Ehdotus neuvoston päätökseksi tietotekniikkatuotteiden tullien poistamisesta

EUROOPAN YHTEISÖJEN KOMISSIO
                                     Bryssel, 05.03.1997
                                     KOM(97)96 lopull.
                                      97/0082 (ACC)
                                      97/0083 (ACC)
                          Ehdotus:
                 NEUVOSTON PÄÄTÖS
      tietotekniikkatuotteiden tullien poistamisesta
                         Ehdotus:
                 NEUVOSTON PÄÄTÖS
tiettyjen alkoholipitoisten juomien tullien poistamisesta
                   (Komission esittämät)
 ---pagebreak---  ---pagebreak---                                           PERUSTELUT
 Singaporessa 13 päivänä joulukuuta 1996 pidetyssä erityiskokouksessa neuvosto hyväksyi
 ministereiden julistuksen tietotekniikkatuotteiden kaupasta ja otti myönteisen kannan
 Yhdysvaltain kanssa tehtyyn kahdenväliseen ad referendum -sopimukseen Uruguayn
kierroksessa sovittujen nollatullien soveltamisen nopeuttamisesta "ruskeiden"
 alkoholijuomien ja muiden alkoholipitoisten juomien osalta.
 Tietotekniikkasopimuksen osalta neuvosto palauttaa mieleen, että Euroopan unionin ja
 Yhdysvaltain huippukokouksen yhteydessä Madridissa 3 päivänä joulukuuta 1995
Euroopan unioni ja Yhdysvallat laativat uuden Euroopan ja Yhdysvaltain suhteiden
asialistan, jossa muun muassa todetaan, että "tietoyhteiskunnan tärkeyden vuoksi olemme
aloittamassa erityistoimia tietotekniikkasopimuksen tekemiseksi". Rinnakkaisena ja
huippukokoukseen liittyvänä teollisuuden foorumina toimivan Yhdysvaltain ja Euroopan
välistä kauppaa koskevan vuoropuhelun puitteissa korostettiin tämän poliittisen
sitoumuksen tärkeyttä toteamalla, että "ylivoimainen enemmistö on sitä mieltä, että
tietotekniikkasopimukseen olisi sisällytettävä sitoumus kaikkien tullien poistamisesta
viimeistään vuoden 2000 tammikuussa".
Useiden kolmansien maiden kanssa käytyjen alustavien neuvottelujen ja
perustamissopimuksen 113 artiklan mukaisesti perustetussa erityiskomiteassa käytyjen
keskustelujen tuloksena komissio teki 22 päivänä lokakuuta 1996 neuvostolle ehdotuksen
päätöksen tekemisestä kolmansien maiden kanssa käytävien neuvotteluiden aloittamisesta
tietotekniikkasopimuksen tekemiseksi. Neuvosto teki kyseisen päätöksen 15 päivänä
marraskuuta 1996.
Monenkeskiset neuvottelut johtivat Maailman kauppajärjestön 15 jäsentä tai
jäsenehdokasta (Australia, Kanada, Taiwan, Euroopan unioni, Hong Kong, Islanti,
Indonesia, Japani, Korea, Liechtenstein, Norja, Singapore, Sveitsi, Turkki, Yhdysvallat)
edustavien ministerien Singaporessa 13 päivänä joulukuuta 1996 antamaan julistukseen.
Julistuksen tavoitteena on tullien poistaminen vuoteen 2000 mennessä (mikä tapahtuu
neljänä tasasuuruisena alennuksena) lisäyksissä yksityiskohtaisesti luetteloitujen
tietotekniikkatuotteiden       osalta.     Erityisesti   kiinnitetään     huomiota        julistuksen
yksityiskohtaisten sääntöjen 4 kohtaan:
         "Osallistujat kokoontuvat mahdollisimman pian ja joka tapauksessa viimeistään 1
         päivänä huhtikuuta 1997 tarkastelemaan tilannetta hyväksymisten osalta ja
         arvioimaan siitä tehtäviä päätelmiä. Osallistujat toteuttavat julistuksessa esitetyt
         toimenpiteet, jos noin 90:ää prosenttia tietotekniikkatuotteiden maailmankaupasta1
         edustavat osallistujat ovat siihen mennessä ilmoittaneet hyväksynnästään ja
         edellyttäen, että porrastuksesta on sovittu osallistujia tyydyttävällä tavalla.
         Arvioitaessa, olisiko julistuksessa esitetyt toimenpiteet toteutettava, ja jos
         osallistujien prosenttiosuus tietotekniikkatuotteiden maailmankaupasta jää hieman
         alle 90 prosenttiin, osallistujat voivat ottaa huomioon sellaisten maiden tai
         tullialueiden osallistumisen laajuuden, joiden osuus näiden tuotteiden kotimaan
l   WTO:n sihteeristö laskee kyseisen prosenttimäärän kokouksen aikana käytettävissä olevan uusimman
    tiedon perusteella.
 ---pagebreak---          kaupasta on suurin. Osallistujat toteavat kokouksessa,          täyttyvätkö nämä
         edellytykset."
Ministereiden julistuksessa esitetyt monenkeskiset tekniset neuvottelut päätettiin 31
päivänä tammikuuta 1997. Soveltamisalaan kuuluvista tuotteista keskusteltiin, mutta
ministereiden julistuksen alkuperäistä lisäystä ei muutettu. Soveltamisalaan kuuluvien
tuotteiden määrän lisäämistä koskevat ensimmäiset neuvottelut sovittiin alkavaksi 1
päivänä lokakuuta 1997 ja ad referendum -sopimukseen päästiin joidenkin julistuksen
alkuperäisten allekirjoittajien tullien laajempaa porrastusta koskevien pyyntöjen osalta.
Kyseisiin allekirjoittajiin kuuluivat Indonesia, Korea ja Taiwan. Uusi-Seelanti, joka ei
esittänyt laajempaa porrastusta koskevaa pyyntöä, ja Costa Rica, päästyään muiden
osallistujien kanssa sopimukseen laajempaa porrastusta koskevan pyyntönsä osalta,
osallistuivat sopimukseen.
Neuvosto päätti Singaporessa 13 päivänä joulukuuta 1996 pidetyssä erityiskokouksessa,
että ennen 1 päivää huhtikuuta 1997 toteutettavaksi aiottua tarkastelua neuvoston olisi
tehtävä päätös sopimuksen lopullisesta hyväksymisestä. Tämä on välttämätöntä yhteisön
velvoittamiseksi noudattamaan sitoumustaan. Kyseinen päätös riippuu kuitenkin kriittistä
massaa koskevista määräyksistä ja porrastusta koskevasta sopimuksesta. Asioiden
alustavaa käsittelyä varten liitteenä oleva päätösluonnos on tehty sillä olettamuksella, että
nämä molemmat ehdot täyttyvät. Jos maaliskuun loppuun mennessä näitä ehtoja ei ole
täytetty, asia on otettava uudelleen tutkittavaksi.
Alkoholipitoisten juomien osalta komissio on sitä mieltä, että Yhdysvaltain kanssa
yhteisymmärryspöytäkirjan muodossa tehty sopimus parantaa huomattavasti Euroopan
unionin vientimahdollisuuksia. Komissio jatkaa ponnistelujaan muiden osapuolten
 saamiseksi sopimuksen piiriin.
Komissio esittää neuvostolle kaksi ehdotusta neuvoston päätöksiksi.

    MINISTERIEN JULISTUS TIETOTEKNIIKKATUOTTEIDEN KAUPASTA
MINISTERIT, jotka
edustavat seuraavia Maailman kauppajärjestön, jäljempänä 'WTO', jäseniä ja WTO:hon
liittymässä olevia valtioita tai erillisiä tullialueita, jotka ovat sopineet Singaporessa
tietotekmikkatuotteiden maailmankaupan laajentamisesta ja joiden osuus näiden tuotteiden
kaupasta maailmassa on yli [80] prosenttia, jäljempänä 'sopimuspuolet':
Australia
Euroopan yhteisöt
Hongkong
Indonesia
Islanti
Japani
Kanada
Korean tasavalta
Norja
 Singapore
 Sveitsi1
 Taiwan
Turkki
 Yhdysvallat
pitävät tietotekniikkatuotteiden kaupan asemaa erittäin tärkeänä tietoteollisuuden
 kehittämisessä ja maailmankaupan dynaamisessa laajentamisessa,
      Sveitsin ja Liechtensteinin tulliliiton puolesta
 ---pagebreak--- tunnustavat tavoitteiksi korkeamman elintason ja tavaroiden tuotannon ja kaupan
laajentamisen,
haluavat saavuttaa        mahdollisimman       suuren    vapauden     tietotekniikkatuotteiden
maailmankaupassa,
haluavat edistää maailmanlaajuisesti jatkuvaa tietotekniikkateollisuuden teknologista
kehitystä,
pitävät mielessä tietotekniikan myönteisen vaikutuksen maailman taloudelliseen kasvuun
ja hyvinvointiin,
ovat sopineet panevansa täytäntöön näiden neuvottelujen tulokset, jotka koskevat uusia
myönnytyksiä tullitariffeja ja kauppaa koskevan yleissopimuksen 1994 Marrakeshin
pöytäkirjan liitteenä oleviin myönnytysluetteloihin sisältyvien lisäksi, ja
tunnustavat, että näiden neuvottelujen tulokset koskevat myös myönnytyksiä, joita tehtiin
Marrakeshin pöytäkirjan liitteenä olevien myönnytysluetteloiden tekemiseen johtaneissa
neuvotteluissa,
OVAT ANTANEET TÄMÄN JULISTUKSEN:
 1.   Kunkin sopimuspuolen kauppajärjestelmän olisi kehityttävä tietotekniikkatuotteiden
      markkinoillepääsyn mahdollisuuksia edistävällä tavalla.
2.    Tämän julistuksen liitteessä määriteltyjen yksityiskohtaisten sääntöjen mukaisesti
     jokainen sopimuspuoli sitoo ja poistaa tullit sekä muut maksut tullitariffeja ja
      kauppaa koskevan yleissopimuksen 1994 II: 1(b) artiklassa tarkoitetulla tavalla
      seuraavien tuotteiden osalta:
      a) kaikki tämän julistuksen liitteessä olevassa lisäyksessä A lueteltuihin vuoden 1996
      harmonoidun järjestelmän, jäljempänä 'HS', nimikkeisiin luokitellut (tai
      luokiteltavissa olevat) tuotteet, ja
      b) kaikki tämän julistuksen liitteessä olevassa lisäyksessä B eritellyt tuotteet
      huolimatta siitä, ovatko ne mukana lisäyksessä A.
      Tämä toimenpide tapahtuu tasasuuruisina tullien alennuksina vuodesta 1997 alkaen ja
      tullen päätökseen vuonna 2000 sopimuspuolten ottaessa huomioon, että alennusten
      laajempi porrastus ja alennusten soveltamisalaan kuuluvien tuotteiden määrän
      lisääminen ennen täytäntöönpanoa voi olla välttämätöntä rajoitetuissa olosuhteissa.
3.    Ministerit ilmaisevat tyytyväisyytensä tämän julistuksen liitteen lisäyksien
      soveltamisalaan kuuluvien tuotteiden suuresta määrästä. He antavat maidensa
     viranomaisille ohjeet pyrkiä vilpittömästi saattaan Genevessä käytävät monenväliset
     tekniset neuvottelut päätökseen näiden yksityiskohtaisten sääntöjen perusteella ja
      antavat näille viranomaisille ohjeet saattaa tämä työ päätökseen viimeistään 31
      päivänä tammikuuta 1997 tämän julistuksen täytäntöönpanon varmistamiseksi
     mahdollisimman suurella osallistujien määrällä.
 ---pagebreak--- Ministerit pyytävät muiden WTO:n jäsenten mimstereitä ja WTO:hon liittymässä
olevia valtioita ja tullialueita antamaan samanlaiset ohjeet viranomaisilleen, jotta ne
voivat osallistua edellä 3 kohdassa mainittuihin teknisiin neuvotteluihin ja osallistua
täysin tietotekmikkatuotteiden maailmankaupan laajentamiseen.

                   Yksityiskohtaiset säännöt ja soveltamisalaan kuuluvat tuotteet
Maailman kauppajärjestön jäsen tai WTO:hon liittymässä oleva valtio tai erillinen tullialue
voi osallistua tietotekniikkatuotteiden maailmankaupan laajentamiseen seuraavien
yksityiskohtaisten sääntöjen mukaisesti:
1. Kukin osallistuja sisällyttää julistuksen 2 kohdassa kuvatut toimenpiteet tullitariffeja ja
     kauppaa koskevan yleissopimuksen 1994 myönnytysluetteloonsa ja lisäksi oman
     tariffilinjansa tasolla tai vuoden 1996 harmonoidun järjestelmän, jäljempänä 'HS',
     kuuden numeron tasolla viralliseen tariffiinsa tai muuhun julkaistuun
     tariffijärjestelmän toisintoon sen mukaisesti, kumpaa viejät ja tuojat tavallisesti
     käyttävät. Osallistuja, joka ei ole WTO.n jäsen, soveltaa näitä toimenpiteitä WTO:n
     jäseneksi tulemiseen asti itsenäisesti ja sisällyttää nämä toimenpiteet WTO.n
     tavaroiden markkinoillepääsyä koskevaan myönnytysluetteloon.
2. Tätä varten kukin osallistuja toimittaa muille osallistujille mahdollisimman aikaisin ja
     viimeistään 1 päivänä maaliskuuta 1997 asiakirjan, joka sisältää a) yksityiskohtaiset
     tiedot siitä, millä tavalla asianmukaisesta tullikohtelusta määrätään sitä koskevassa
     WTO:n tullimyönnytysluettelossa ja b) luettelon lisäyksessä B eriteltyjen tuotteiden
     tarkoista HS-alaryhmistä. Näitä asiakirjoja tarkastellaan ja ne hyväksytään
     yksimielisyyden perusteella, ja tämä tarkistusmenettely saatetaan päätökseen
     viimeistään 1 päivänä huhtikuuta 1997. Kun tämä tarkistusmenettely on saatettu
     päätökseen tällaisen asiakirjan osalta, asiakirja toimitetaan muutoksena kyseistä
     osallistujaa koskevaan myönnytysluetteloon tarifrimyönnytysluettelojen muuttamis- ja
     korjausmenettelyistä 26 päivänä maaliskuuta 1980 tehdyn päätöksen (BISD 27S/25)
     mukaisesti.
     a) Kunkin osallistujan muutoksina sitä koskevaan myönnytysluetteloon ehdottamilla
     myönnytyksillä sidotaan ja poistetaan kaikki tullit sekä muut maksut
     tietotekmikkatuotteiden osalta seuraavasti:
      i) tullien poistaminen tapahtuu tasasuuruisina alennuksina, paitsi milloin
      sopimuspuolet toisin sopivat. Jos sopimuspuolet eivät sovi toisin, kukin osallistuja
      sitoo kaikki tariffit lisäyksissä lueteltujen tavaroiden osalta viimeistään 1 päivänä
     heinäkuuta 1997 ja saattaa voimaan ensimmäisen tällaisen tullinalennuksen
     viimeistään 1 päivänä heinäkuuta 1997, toisen tällaisen tullinalennuksen viimeistään 1
     päivänä tammikuuta 1998 ja kolmannen tällaisen alennuksen viimeistään 1 päivänä
     tammikuuta 1999, ja tullien poistaminen saadaan päätökseen viimeistään 1 päivänä
     tammikuuta 2000. Sopimuspuolet sopivat edistävänsä itsenäistä tullien poistamista
      ennen näitä määräpäiviä. Alennettu tulli on jokaisessa alennusvaiheessa pyöristettävä
     ensimmäisen desimaalin tarkkuudella, ja
     ii) yleissopimuksen II: 1(b) artiklassa tarkoitettujen muiden tullien ja maksujen
     poistaminen saatetaan päätökseen viimeistään 1 päivänä heinäkuuta 1997, paitsi jos
     muille osallistujille tarkasteltavaksi annettavissa osallistujien asiakirjoissa toisin
     määrätään.
     b)          Osallistujan      ehdottamilla       muutoksilla       myönnytysluetteloon
     tietotekniikkatuotteiden tullien sitomisen ja poistamisen täytäntöönpanemiseksi
      saavutetaan tämä tulos
                                                                                               9
 ---pagebreak---      i) lisäyksessä A lueteltujen HS-nimikkeiden osalta luomalla tarvittaessa alajakoja
     myönnytysluetteloon kansallisen tariffilinjan tasolla, ja
     ii) lisäyksessä B eriteltyjen tuotteiden osalta liittämällä myönnytysluetteloon lisäys,
     joka sisältää kaikki lisäyksen B tuotteet ja jossa määritellään tarkasti HS-nimikkeet
     näille tuotteille kansallisen tariffilinjan tasolla tai HS:n kuuden numeron tasolla.
     Kukin osallistuja muuttaa viipymättä omaa kansallista tariffiluetteloaan niin, että se
     vastaa tämän ehdottamia muutoksia heti niiden tultua voimaan.
3. Osallistujat kokoontuvat määräajoin tavarakauppaneuvoston yhteydessä tarkastelemaan
     lisäyksissä eritellyn tuotteiden soveltamisalaa sopiakseen yksimielisesti, olisiko
     teknologian kehityksen, tullimyönnytysten soveltamisesta saadun kokemuksen tai
     HS:n nimikkeistön muutosten takia muutettava lisäyksiä siten, että ne sisältävät lisää
     tuotteita, ja neuvottelemaan muista kuin tariffiesteistä tietotekniikkatuotteiden
      kaupassa. Nämä neuvottelut eivät rajoita WTO:n sopimuksen mukaisia oikeuksia ja
     velvoitteita.
 4. Osallistujat kokoontuvat mahdollisimman pian ja joka tapauksessa viimeistään 1
      päivänä huhtikuuta 1997 tarkastelemaan tilannetta hyväksymisten osalta ja
      arvioimaan siitä tehtäviä päätelmiä. Osallistujat toteuttavat julistuksessa esitetyt
      toimenpiteet, jos noin 90:ää prosenttia tietotekmikkatuotteiden maailmankaupasta
      edustavat osallistujat2 ovat siihen mennessä ilmoittaneet hyväksynnästään ja
      edellyttäen, että porrastuksesta on sovittu osallistujia tyydyttävällä tavalla.
      Arvioitaessa, olisiko julistuksessa esitetyt toimenpiteet toteutettava, ja jos
      osallistujien prosenttiosuus tietotekniikkatuotteiden maailmankaupasta jää hieman
      alle 90 prosenttiin, osallistujat voivat ottaa huomioon sellaisten maiden tai
      tullialueiden osallistumisen laajuuden, joiden osuus näiden tuotteiden
      kotimaankaupasta on suurin. Osallistujat toteavat kokouksessa, täyttyvätkö nämä
      edellytykset.
5. Osallistujat kokoontuvat tarvittavan usein ja viimeistään 30 päivänä syyskuuta 1997
      tarkastelemaan niiden kesken esiintyviä eroja tietotekniikkatuotteiden luokittelussa,
      alkaen lisäyksessä B eritellyistä tuotteista. Osallistujat sopivat yhteisestä tavoitteesta
      saada tarvittaessa aikaan yhteinen luokittelu näille tuotteille voimassaolevan HS-
      nimikkeistön mukaisesti ottaen huomioon tulliyhteistyöneuvoston (josta käytetään
      myös nimeä Maailman tullijärjestö tai WCO) tulkinnat ja määräyks3et. Jokaisessa
      tapauksessa, jossa luokitteluun jää ero, osallistujat harkitsevat, voitaisiinko WCO:lle
      tehdä yhteinen ehdotus voimassaolevan HS-nimikkeistön saattamisesta ajantasalle tai
      HS-nimikkeistön tulkintaa koskevan erimielisyyden ratkaisemisesta.
6. Osallistujat ymmärtävät, että yleissopimuksen XXIII artikla koskee osallistujalle, joka
      on WTO:n jäsen, tämän julistuksen täytäntöönpanosta sellaisten suoraan tai
      epäsuorasti aiheutuvien etujen mitätöimistä tai pienentämistä, jotka ovat seurausta
      toisen osallistujan, joka on WTO.n jäsen, jonkin toimenpiteen soveltamisesta,
    WTO:n sihteeristö laskee tämän prosenttiosuuden kokouksen aikana käytettävissä olevien
    viimeisimpien tietojen perusteella.
                                                                                              lo
 ---pagebreak---      huolimatta siitä, onko kyseinen toimenpide ristiriidassa yleissopimuksen määräysten
     kanssa.
7. Kukin osallistuja tarkastelee myönteisesti toisen osallistujan pyyntöä neuvottelujen
     aloittamisesta edellä esitetyistä asioista. Nämä neuvottelut eivät rajoita WTO:n
     sopimuksen mukaisia oikeuksia ja velvoitteita.
8. Tavarakauppaneuvoston yhteydessä toimiessaan osallistujat ilmoittavat muille WTO:n
    jäsenille ja WTO:hon liittymässä oleville valtioille tai erillisille tullialueille näistä
     yksityiskohtaisista säännöistä ja aloittavat neuvottelut niiden osallistumisen
     helpottamiseksi tietotekniikkatuotteiden kaupan laajentamiseen tämän julistuksen
     perusteella.
9. Näissä yksityiskohtaisissa säännöissä 'osallistujalla' tarkoitetaan niitä WTO:n jäseniä ja
     WTO:hon liittymässä olevia valtioita tai erillisiä tullialueita, jotka toimittavat 2

Kuten Singaporessa sovittiin olemme aloittaneet yksityiskohtaiset neuvottelut tiettyjen
alkoholipitoisten juomien tullien poistamisesta.
Sisäisten menettelyjemme loppuun saattamisesta riippuen, ja lukuun ottamatta rommin

 1.     Ehdotus neuvoston           päätökseksi tietotekniikkatuotteiden      ja    tiettyjen
        alkoholipitoisten juomien tullien poistamisesta.
2.      Budjettikohta: 12 luvun 120 momentti
3.      Oikeusperusta: 113 artikla
4.      Toimen kuvaus: Ehdotus on seurausta neuvoston päätöksestä aloittaa neuvottelut
        kolmansien maiden kanssa tietotekniikkasopimuksen tekemiseksi ja ministereiden
        Singaporen ministerikokouksessa 13 päivänä joulukuuta 1996 tekemästä
        poliittisesta sitoumuksesta.
        Ehdotus koskee tietotekniikkatuotteiden ja tiettyjen alkoholipitoisten juomien
        tullien poistamista vuoteen 2000 mennessä.
5.      Tulolaji: Kolmansien maiden tuonnista saatavien tullitulojen menetys.
6.      Tulojen muutos:
Tietotekniikkatuotteiden tullien poistaminen tapahtuu neljässä vuosittaisessa vaiheessa 1
päivästä heinäkuuta 1997 1 päivään tammikuuta 2000. Tullien menetys on laskettu
Uruguayn        kierroksella    sovitun    tullitason    (kunkin    vuoden     osalta)     ja
tietotekniikkasopimuksessa sovittujen tullien (saman vuoden osalta) väliseksi erotukseksi
vuoden 1995 tuontia vastaavan määrän osalta (ks. liite). Tietotekniikkasopimuksen
mukainen tulojen menetys on siis ainoastaan ylimääräistä tulojen menetystä. Lopulliset
kokonaismäärät ovat seuraavat.
1.7.1997:        242,6 miljoonaa ecua
 1.1. 1998:      643,3 miljoonaa ecua
1.1. 1999:       891,3 miljoonaa ecua
1.1. 2000        1 241,8 miljoonaa ecua
Euroopan yhteisön 15 jäsenvaltion vuoden 1995 tuonnin ja kaiken vuoden 1995
suosituimmuustullikohtelun alaisen tuonnin vastaavien arvojen perusteella tullien menetys
alkoholipitoisten juomien osalta on seuraava:
 1.7.1997:       0,5 miljoonaa ecua
1.1.1998:        1,6 miljoonaa ecua
1.1. 1999:       2 miljoonaa ecua
1.1. 2000:       2,5 miljoonaa ecua
1.1. 2001:       1,9 miljoonaa ecua
                                                                                       71
 ---pagebreak--- 1.1. 2002:     1,2 miljoonaa ecua
1.1. 2003:     0,7 miljoonaa ecua
Vuosittainen keskiarvo on 1,625 miljoonaa ecua (6,5 vuotta) ja kokonaismäärä on 10,5
miljoona ecua.
