En su reunión especial de 13 de diciembre de 1996 en Singapur, el Consejo aprobó
(l)una Declaración ministerial sobre el comercio de productos de tecnología de la
información y (2) se congratuló por el acuerdo bilateral ad referéndum alcanzado con
EE UU sobre la aceleración de los tipos cero de la Ronda Uruguay correspondientes a las
bebidas espirituosas de color tostado y sobre los tipos cero correspondientes a otras
bebidas espirituosas.
Respecto del Acuerdo sobre tecnología de la información (ATI), el Consejo recordará
que el 3 de diciembre de 1995, con ocasión de la cumbre UE/EE UU de Madrid, la UE y
los EE UU elaboraron un nueva Agenda Transatlántica en la que, entre otras cosas, se
declara lo siguiente: "A la vista de la importancia de la sociedad de información,
estamos iniciando un ejercicio específico para tratar de celebrar un Acuerdo sobre
tecnología de la información". El foro industrial paralelo y asociado, Diálogo
Empresarial Transatlántico, recalcó la importancia de esta empresa política al declarar que
"una inmensa mayoría considera que el paquete de medidas ATI deberá incluir el
compromiso de eliminar todos los aranceles a más tardar para enero del año 2000".
El 22 de octubre de 1996, como resultado de las consultas exploratorias con varios
terceros países y de las discusiones en el Comité especial establecido con arreglo al
artículo 113 del Tratado, la Comisión propuso al Consejo que adoptara una decisión con
objeto de iniciar negociaciones con terceros países para celebrar un Acuerdo sobre
tecnología de la información. Dicha decisión fue tomada por el Consejo el 15 de
noviembre de 1996.
Las negociaciones plurilaterales desembocaron el 13 de diciembre de 1996 en una
Declaración de los ministros de 15 miembros o candidatos para la adhesión a la OMC
(Australia, Canadá, Corea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Islandia, Japón, Liechtenstein,
Noruega, Singapur, Suiza, Taiwan, Turquía y la UE) en Singapur. La Declaración
establece el objetivo de eliminar los aranceles para el año 2000 (y prescribe reducciones en
cuatro etapas iguales) para los productos de tecnología de la información enumerados
detalladamente en los Anexos. Se llama particularmente la atención sobre el apartado 4 de
las modalidades de la Declaración:
        "Los participantes se reunirán tan pronto como sea factible, pero en todo caso no más
        tarde del 1 de abril de 1997, para examinar la situación de las aceptaciones recibidas y
        evaluar las conclusiones que deban extraerse. Los participantes pondrán en aplicación
         las medidas previstas en la presente Declaración, a condición de que para entonces
        hayan notificado su aceptación participantes que representen aproximadamente el 90%
        del comercio mundial1 de productos de tecnología de la información, y a condición de
        que se haya acordado el escalonamiento a satisfacción de los participantes. Para
        determinar si se han de poner en aplicación las medidas previstas en la Declaración, en
        el caso de que el porcentaje del comercio mundial representado por los participantes sea
        algo inferior al 90% del comercio mundial de productos de tecnología de la
        información, los participantes podrán tener en cuenta el grado de participación de los
        Estados o territorios aduaneros distintos que representen para ellos el volumen
i   Este porcentaje será calculado por la Secretaría de la OMC sobre la base de los datos más recientes de
    que se disponga en el momento de la reunión.
 ---pagebreak---         sustancial de su propio comercio de dichos productos. En esa reunión los participantes
        determinarán si se han cumplido estos criterios".
El 31 de enero de 1997 finalizaron las discusiones técnicas plurilaterales previstas por la
Declaración ministerial. Se discutió la cobertura de los productos, pero no se modificó el
Anexo original de la Declaración ministerial. Se llegó al acuerdo de que la primera serie de
consultas sobre la cobertura adicional de productos daría comienzo el 1 de octubre de
1997, y se llegó a un acuerdo ad referéndum respecto de las solicitudes de algunos de los
signatarios originales en el sentido de que se ampliara el escalonamiento. Entre aquéllos se
incluían Corea, Indonesia y Taiwan. Nueva Zelanda, sin solicitar ningún escalonamiento
adicional, y Costa Rica, tras un acuerdo con los demás participantes en relación con su
solicitud de escalonamiento adicional, se convirtieron en participantes.
El Consejo, en una reunión especial celebrada el 13 de diciembre de 1996 en Singapur,
decidió que se requeriría una nueva decisión del Consejo, previamente al examen que
estaba previsto realizar antes del 1 de abril de 1997, para llegar a una aceptación definitiva
del acuerdo. Ello sería necesario para obligar a la Comunidad en relación con sus
compromisos. No obstante, tal decisión está subordinada a las disposiciones relativas a la
masa crítica y al acuerdo sobre el escalonamiento. Para preparar el terreno, el proyecto
adjunto de decisión se ha efectuado sobre la base de que se cumplan ambos criterios. En
caso de que estos criterios no se cumplan al aproximarse el final de marzo, tendrá que
volver a examinarse el asunto.
Por lo que respecta a las bebidas espirituosas, la Comisión considera que el acuerdo
alcanzado con Estados Unidos en forma de memorándum de acuerdo mejoraría
considerablemente el potencial de exportación de la UE. La Comisión proseguirá sus
esfuerzos para que otras partes se integren en este acuerdo.
En consecuencia, la Comisión presenta al Consejo dos propuestas de Decisión del
Consejo.

                                 Modalidades v productos comprendidos
         Todo Miembro de la Organización Mundial del Comercio, o Estado o territorio aduanero distinto
en proceso de adhesión a la OMC, podrá participar en la expansión del comercio mundial de productos
de tecnología de la información de conformidad con las modalidades siguientes:
 1.      Cada participante incorporará las medidas descritas en el párrafo 2 de la Declaración a su lista
anexa al Acuerdo General sobre Aranceles Aduaneros y Comercio de 1994 y además, a nivel de línea
arancelaria de su arancel o a nivel de 6 dígitos del Sistema Armonizado de 1996 ("SA"), a su arancel
oficial o a cualquier otra versión publicada del arancel de aduanas, si fuera esa otra la utilizada
comúnmente por los importadores y los exportadores. Cada uno de los participantes que no sea Miembro
de la OMC aplicará estas medidas de manera autónoma, en espera de la culminación de su adhesión
a la OMC, y las incorporará a su lista sobre acceso a los mercados para las mercancías, anexa al Acuerdo
sobre la OMC.
2.       A estos efectos, cada participante proporcionará a los demás participantes lo antes posible,
y en todo caso el I o de marzo de 1997 a más tardar, un documento que contenga a) los pormenores
sobre cómo preverá el trato arancelario adecuado en su lista de concesiones anexa al Acuerdo sobre
la OMC, y b) una lista de las partidas detalladas del SA a las que correspondan los productos
especificados en el Apéndice B. Estos documentos se examinarán y se aprobarán por consenso y el
proceso de examen se terminará el I o de abril de 1997 a más tardar. En cuanto haya terminado este
proceso de examen de cualquiera de esos documentos, ese documento se presentará como modificación
de la Lista del participante de que se trate, de conformidad con la Decisión de 26 de marzo de 1980
sobre Procedimientos para la modificación o rectificación de las listas de concesiones arancelarias
(IBDD 27S/25).
         a)      Las concesiones que debe proponer cada participante como modificaciones de su Lista
                 consolidarán y eliminarán, de la forma que a continuación se indica, todos los derechos
                 de aduana y los demás derechos o cargas de cualquier clase aplicados a los productos
                 de tecnología de la información:
                 i)      la eliminación de dichos derechos de aduana se llevará a cabo mediante
                         reducciones en tramos iguales de los tipos, a no ser que los participantes
                         acuerden lo contrario. Salvo acuerdo en contrario de los participantes, cada
                         participante consolidará a más tardar todos los aranceles aplicados a los
                         productos enumerados en los Apéndices el I o de julio de 1997 y hará efectiva
                         a más tardar la primera de esas reducciones de los tipos el I o de julio de 1997,
                         la segunda el I o de enero de 1998 y la tercera el I o de enero de 1999, y la
                         eliminación de los derechos de aduana quedará completada el 1 ° de enero del
                         año 2000 a más tardar. Los participantes acuerdan alentar la eliminación
                         autónoma de los derechos de aduana antes de las fechas indicadas. En cada
                         fase, el tipo reducido deberá redondearse al primer decimal; y
                 ii)      la eliminación de los demás derechos y cargas de cualquier clase citados, en
                          el sentido del párrafo 1 b) del artículo IL del Acuerdo General, quedará
                          completada el I o de julio de 1997, a no ser que en el documento facilitado
                          por el participante a los demás participantes para su examen se indique lo
                          contrario.
                                                                                                          8

          b)      Las modificaciones de su Lista que debe proponer un participante para llevar a cabo
                  la consolidación y eliminación de los derechos de aduana aplicados a los productos
                  de tecnología de la información tendrán ese resultado:
                  i)       en el caso de las partidas del SA que se indican en el Apéndice A, mediante
                           la creación, cuando proceda, de subdivisiones en la Lista de ese participante
                           a nivel de línea arancelaria de su arancel nacional; y
                  ii)      en el caso de los productos especificados en el Apéndice B, mediante la adición
                           a la Lista de ese participante de un anexo en el que estarán incluidos todos
                           los productos del Apéndice B, en el que han de especificarse las partidas
                           detalladas del SA correspondientes a dichos productos a nivel de línea
                           arancelaria de su arancel nacional o de 6 dígitos del SA.
                  Cada participante modificará inmediatamente su arancel nacional de aduanas para recoger
                  en él las modificaciones que haya propuesto, tan pronto como éstas hayan comenzado
                  a surtir efecto.
3.        Los participantes se reunirán periódicamente bajo los auspicios del Consejo del Comercio de
Mercancías a fin de examinar los productos comprendidos que se especifican en los Apéndices, con
miras a acordar por consenso si, a la luz de la evolución de la tecnología, la experiencia en la aplicación
de las concesiones arancelarias o los cambios de la nomenclatura del SA, deberán modificarse los
Apéndices para incorporar productos adicionales, y a fin de celebrar consultas sobre los obstáculos
no arancelarios al comercio de productos de tecnología de la información. Dichas consultas no afectarán
a los derechos y obligaciones dimanantes del Acuerdo sobre la OMC.
4.        Los participantes se reunirán tan pronto como sea factible pero en todo caso no más tarde del
1 ° de abril de 1997 para examinar la situación de las aceptaciones recibidas y evaluar las conclusiones
que deban extraerse. Los participantes pondrán en aplicación las medidas previstas en la presente
Declaración a condición de que para entonces hayan notificado su aceptación participantes que representen
aproximadamente el 90 por ciento del comercio mundial2 de productos de tecnología de la información,
y a condición de que se haya acordado el escalonamiento a satisfacción de los participantes. Para
determinar si se han de poner en aplicación las medidas previstas en la Declaración, en el caso de que
el porcentaje del comercio mundial representado por los participantes sea algo inferior al 90 por ciento
del comercio mundial de productos de tecnología de la información los participantes podrán tener en
cuenta el grado de participación de los Estados o territorios aduaneros distintos que representen para
ellos el volumen sustancial de su propio comercio de dichos productos. En esa reunión los participantes
comprobarán si se han cumplido estos criterios.
5.        Los participantes se reunirán cuantas veces sea necesario y en todo caso el 30 de septiembre
de 1997 a más tardar para examinar las discrepancias que puedan existir entre ellos en lo que respecta
a la clasificación de los productos de tecnología de la información, comenzando por los productos
especificados en el Apéndice B. Los participantes se fijan el objetivo común de establecer, en su caso,
una clasificación común para esos productos dentro de la nomenclatura actual del SA, tomando en
consideración las interpretaciones y decisiones del Consejo de Cooperación Aduanera (conocido también
como Organización Mundial de Aduanas u "OMA"). En caso de que persista una discrepancia en
cuanto a la clasificación, los participantes examinarán la posibilidad de hacer una propuesta conjunta
a la OMA con respecto a la actualización de la nomenclatura existente del SA o a la solución de la
discrepancia en la interpretación de la nomenclatura del SA.

     Este porcentaje será calculado por la Secretaría de la OMC sobre la base de los datos más recientes de que
se disponga en el momento de la reunión.

6.      Los participantes entienden que el artículo XXIII del Acuerdo General será aplicable a la
anulación o menoscabo de ventajas resultantes directa o indirectamente para un Miembro de la OMC
de la aplicación de la presente Declaración como consecuencia de la aplicación de cualquier medida
por otro Miembro de la OMC participante, esté o no dicha medida en conflicto con las disposiciones
del Acuerdo General.
7.      Cada participante examinará con comprensión cualquier solicitud de celebración de consultas
que formule otro participante con respecto a los compromisos enunciados supra. Dichas consultas
se entenderán sin perjuicio de los derechos y obligaciones dimanantes del Acuerdo sobre la OMC.

 1       Propuesta de Decisión del Consejo relativa a la eliminación de los derechos
        relativos a los productos de tecnología de la información y determinadas
        bebidas espirituosas
 2      Línea presupuestaria afectada: Capítulo 12/Artículo 120
 3.     Fundamento jurídico. Artículo 113
4.      Descripción: La propuesta es consecuencia de la Decisión del Consejo de
        iniciar negociaciones con terceros países con objeto de celebrar un Acuerdo de
        tecnología de la información y del compromiso político contraído por los
        Ministros en la Conferencia ministerial de Singapur de 13 de diciembre de
         1996.
        Se refiere a la eliminación de los derechos relativos a los productos de
        tecnología de la información y determinadas bebidas espirituosas para el año
        2000.
5       Tipo de ingreso: Pérdida de ingresos correspondientes a los derechos pagados
        por las importaciones de terceros países.
6.      Cambio del nivel de ingresos:
La eliminación de los derechos pagaderos por las importaciones de productos de
tecnología de la información se completará en 4 fases anuales iguales desde el 1 de
julio de 1997 hasta el 1 de enero del año 2000. La pérdida de derechos se calcula
como la diferencia entre el nivel arancelario acordado por la Ronda Uruguay (para
cada año) y el tipo acordado con arreglo al ITA (para el mismo año) aplicable al
volumen de importaciones alcanzado en 1995. (véase el Anexo adjunto). En conjunto,
la pérdida de ingresos es únicamente la pérdida de ingresos adicionales. Las cifras
totalesfinalesson las siguientes:
 1.7.97 242,6 MECU
 1.1.98 643,3 MECU
 1.1.89 891,3 MECU
 1.1.2000: 1241,8 MECU
Por lo que respecta a los aguardientes, sobre la base de las importaciones de la CE-15
en 1995, y basándose en los equivalentes ad valorem (eav) para todas las
importaciones NMF en 1995, la pérdida de derechos será de:
 1.7.97: 0,5 MECU,
 1.1.98: 1,6 MECU
 1.1.99: 2 MECU
 1.1.2000: 2,5 MECU
 1.1.2001: 1,9 MECU
                                                                                    ¿S
 ---pagebreak--- 1.1.2002: 1,2 MECU
1.1.2003 0,7 MECU
La media anual es de 1625 Kecu (6,5 años), con un total de 10,5 MECU.
La reducción del valor en los recursos propios tradicionales sefinanciarásobre la base
de los recursos adicionales con cargo a los recursos del PNB.
