  (3) Council Regulation (EC) No 2820/98 of 21 December
      1998 (2) implements the scheme of generalised tariff pref-

          1. Development index
          The development index refers to a country’s level of industrial development. It compares that level with the one of the
          European Union, using the following formula:
          
            log½ðYi =POPi Þ=ðYue =POPue Þþlog½Xi =Xue 
                                  2
          where
          Yi       = the beneficiary country’s gross national product,
          Yue      = the European Union’s gross national product,
          POPi = the beneficiary country’s population,
          POPue = the population of the European Union,
          Xi       = the value of the beneficiary country’s manufactured exports,
          Xue      = the value of the European Union’s manufactured exports.
          2. Specialisation index
          The specialisation index refers to the importance of a sector in the Community imports from a beneficiary country. It is
          based on the ratio between that country’s share in imports from all countries, of all products of the sector concerned,
          whether included in the preferential arrangements or not, and its share in all imports from all countries.
          3. Thresholds
                                    Development index                               Threshold for the Specialisation index
                                            = or >  1,00                                          100 %

          4. Statistical sources
          Figures for income and population are those of the World Development Report, for manufactured exports those of the
          UNCTAD Handbook of International Trade and Development Statistics, and for Community imports those of COMEXT
          statistics.

                  LIST OF PRODUCTS INCLUDED IN THE ARRANGEMENTS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 1(2)
          CN code:           For reasons of simplification, products are listed in groups. These may include products for which
                             Common Customs Tariff duties are exempted or suspended. Where certain arrangements include a
                             group of products while other arrangements include only certain products of the same group,
                             these products are also listed individually. In that case, individual products belonging to a group
                             of products included in certain arrangements are again shown as included in those arrangements.
          Description:       Notwithstanding the rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, the description
                             of products is to be considered as indicative, the tariff preferences being determined by the CN
                             codes. Where ex CN codes are indicated, the tariff preferences are to be determined by the CN
                             code and the description together.
          Column G:          Products included in the general arrangements (Article 7): NS = non-sensitive product in the
                             meaning of Article 7(1); S = sensitive product in the meaning of Article 7(2)). Products classified
                             neither S nor NS are not included in the general arrangements.
