1 . Con le comunicazioni datate rispettivamente 5 / 12 e 21 ottobre 1978
    ( doc . GATT / Segreto /239, 250 e 251 ). il. governo degli Stati Uniti ha
    comunicato alle parti contraenti l' intenzione di modificare gli impegni
    assunti nel quadro dell' accordo generale ed attinenti alle disposizioni
    dell' articolo XXVIII , paragrafo 1 ; detta notifica comprendeva un numero
    molto alto di voci tariffarie . I nuovi negoziati che gli Stati Uniti
    hanno chiesto avevano come scopo La- sostituzione di taluni dazi specifici
    o misti in dazi ad valorem .                   >    ' r   ■

2 . La Comunità ha fatto valere^ di ritti di negoziato per tutte le voci tariffarie
                                            ■É-
    alle quali essa è interessata in qualità di beneficiaria diretta , di prima
    fornitrice e di fornitrice sostanziale a norma dell' articolo XXVIII .
3 . Per fissare le aliquote convertite e per valutare il pregiudizio , il governo
    americano aveva proposto un periodo di riferimento triennale , comprendente
    gli anni 1975 , 1976 e 1977 . Basandosi sui precedenti , i servizi della
    Commissione hanno fatto presente che le statistiche da prendere in conside­
    razione avrebbero dovuto essere quelle disponibili per il periodo più recente ,
    ossia comprendenti il 197& . Setobene gli Stati Uniti non abbiano condiviso
    formalmente il punto di vista della Comunità , essi ci hanno offerto nella
    quasi totalità dei casi , compensazioni basate su un periodo di riferimento
    comprendente gli anni 1976, 1977 , 1978 .
4 . Una riconversione dei dazi specifici o misti in dazi ad valorem avrebbe dato
    luogo , nella grande maggioranza dei casi , ad un aumento dei dazi a decorrere
    dal 1° gennaio 1980, calcolato sulla base del periodo di riferimento più
    recente , dato che in detto periodo i prezzi dei prodotti comunitari sono
    stati in generale superiori alla media dei prezzi all' importazione degli
    Stati Uniti . Pertanto i servizi della Commissione hanno difeso con successo
    anche la tesi secondo la quale le incidenze dei dazi specifici debbano essere
    valutate non globalmente sulla totalità delle importazioni , ma bilateralmente
    sulla base delle importazioni provenienti dalla Comunità per riflettere le
    differenze di struttura e di prezzo che esistono fra la Comunità e gli altri
    suoi partner commerciali ;
                                                                          m•m/m m m

5 . In merito alle compensazioni , i servizi deli » Commissione hanno quindi
     insistito affinché le aliquote convertite al 1° gennaio 1980 non fossero

     scinetti a sfere . Nella riunione del 4 maggio 1979, il comitato speciale
     dell' articolo 113 ha concluso c He questo livellò di compensazioni costi­
     tuiva una base accettabile per giungere ad un accordo con gli Stati Uniti .
6. Quanto ai cuscinetti a sfere, gl'i S^ati Uniti hanno difeso, per tutta la
   . durata del nuovo negoziato, il punto di vista che nessuna compensazione
     è dovuta alla Comunità in quanto t a conversione eliminerebbe' nón soltanto
     i dazi specifici , ma anche la "fi r^l ,list", un metodo di valutazione in
     dogana praticato negli Stati - Uniti e che comporta tun aumento dei dazi
     per i cuscinetti provenienti dalla Comunità . La media bilaterale ad
     valorem, basata su questi due elementi , era superiore , secondo gli Stati
     Uniti , all' aliquota di riconversione proposta dagli stessi . I servizi
     della Commissione hanno confutata quésta tesi americana, precisando che
     l' abolizione della "final , li                                          è già stata oggetto 41 . un negoziato di
     per sé equilibrato nel quadro del codice per il valore in dogana . La
     Commissione ha chiesto infine , e gli Stati Uniti hanno accettato, di
     offrire una riduzione tariffaria di un mezzo punto per le voci tariffa­
     rie americane 664.05.50                           caricatori a pala rovescia (backhold shovels )
     e 664.05.35 caricatori a pala frontale ( front loaders ) dal 2,5% al 2%,
     ed una riduzione dal 4,2% al 2*4% per la voce 668.20.35 macchine offset

                    Relazione sui risultati delle trattative
1 . Con una nota del 12 ottobre 1978 (doc . GATT / Segreto /250 ), gli Stati Uniti
    hanno espresso il desiderio di avviare negoziati per la revoca di tutte
     le loro concessioni tariffarie relative al vasellame di materie ceramiche
     ( voci 533.11-533.77   della tariffa americana ) a norma del paragrafo 1
    dell' articolo XXVIII dell' accordo generale sulla tariffa doganale e sul
    commercio .
2 . Questa revoca americana delle concessioni sul vasellame è intervenuta
    durante i negoziati commerciali multilaterali . L' offerta di compensa­
    zione / presentata a fine ottobre 1978 , costituiva una certa ristruttura­
    zione della tariffa americana in questo settore e comprendeva tanto
    aumenti di taluni dazi , segnatamente sul vasellame per alberghi , quanto
    concessioni a norma dei negoziati commerciali .
    Gli Stati Uniti hanno inoltre proceduto in questo settore ad una
    conversione de facto dei dazi misti della ventina di prodotti in questione
    esprimendo la loro offerta unicamente' sott-o forma di dazi ad valorem .
3 . In applicazione del "Trade Act " e tenuto conto della loro intenzione di
    fare un' offerta    sul   settore nel suo insieme , gli Stati Uniti non
    avevano ancora offerto nell' ottobre 1978 concessioni in questo settore ,
    in quanto una parte dello stesso era stata sottoposta a misure di
    salvaguardia alle quali il presidente degli Stati Uniti aveva posto
    termine soltanto nell' ottobre 1978 . Non di meno si erano svolti contatti
    con l' amministrazione americana durante la preparazione dell' offerta
    relativa al vasellame di ceramica nell' intento di far conoscere le
    opinioni della Comunità nel settore .
                                                                           ι
                                                                        m m t m m

4 . Di conseguenza / le richieste della Comunità hanno riguardato in
     questa nuova trattativa soltanto un numero limitato di punti :
     - richiesta di miglioramento dell' offerta riguardante il vasellame
       per alberghi ( 533.20 e 533.52 ) la cui offerta del 35% implicava
       un aumento dei dazi ;
     - inclusione delle ciotole da " porridge " per bambini piccoli e <
       delle teiere rispettivamente nelle categorie "minestre / farine
       d' avena e cereali " e " servizi per bevande " ( 533.37 );
     - richiesta di un' offerta per " spargisale e spargi pepe "/ " servizi
       per olio e aceto" e "portauova " ( inserimento nella voce 533.76
       al 9% in luogo del 26% ) di porcellana diversa da quella tenera
       o dì maiolica ;
     - richiesta di inserire una sottovoce con un' offerta per gli stessi
       prodotti di cui alla voce 533.76 ( scatole per canditi / piatti per
       caramelle ...)/ ma di terraglia .
5 . Queste richieste sono state soddisfatte ( 1 ) tranne che per il
     vasellame per alberghi / per il .. quale le esportazioni comunitarie
                                           • •
     erano molto deboli . Il comitato 113 è stato regolarmente informato
     di questi negoziati ed ha ritenuto che l' offerta americana con le
     suddette modifiche costituisse globalmente una soluzione accettabile
     per questo nuovo negoziato .
6 . L' accordo di nuovo negoziato ( doc . GATT / Segreto / 250 / Add 2 del 30 lu­
     glio 1979 ) è stato parafato il 12 luglio 1979 . Di conseguenza la
     Commissione propone di concludere i nuovi negoziati con il governo
     degli Stati Uniti .
                                                                       • • •/•••

  Con effetto dal 24 déceubre 1968 gH Stati uniti avevano aggiunto una
  nota 7 alle nòte della tabella 3 della TSUS ( fibre e prodotti tessili ).
  Secondo questa nota i tessuti compresi rielle parti 3 e 4 di detta ta­

  materia tessile . La nuova nota ? ha> avuto come conseguenza quella di
• assoggettare taluni tessuti , considerati, in precedenza tessuti di co­
  tone , di seta, ecc .,ai dazi che colpivano * i tessuti di lana, general­
  mente più alti . La nlbté 7^non era peraltro applicata ai tessuti di se­

  Nonostante gli sforzi . fatti dalla Commissione dopo .il 1968, gli Stati
  Uniti non sono mai.' ritornati sulla loro decisione e non hanno neppure
  voluto offrire compensazioni . Soltanto nel quadro dei "nuovi negoziati
  a norma dell' articolo XXVIII,. par», V (vedasi allegato I ) gli Stati U­
  niti s>i sotto finalmente dichiarati disposti a comporre questa annosa
 ---pagebreak--- controversia . Sebbene gli Stati Uniti abbiano rifiutato una riduzione
supplementare oltre a quella già concessa nel quadro dei NCM per i tes­
sili contenenti lana , essi si sono dichiarati disposti ad offrire una
riduzione supplementare di un punto sui tessuti misti seta delle voci
TSUS 337.20 e 337.40 . Da parte sua , la CEE ha chiesto di accelerare
la riduzione tariffaria . per queste due voci , richiesta accolta infine
dagli Stati Uniti nel senso che l' aliquota definitiva del 5% su queste
due voci della tariffa doganale americana sarà applicata già a decorre­
re dal 1° gennaio 1983 . Il Comitato speciale dell' articolo 113 ha deci­
so che questo livello di compensazioni costituisce una base accettabi­
le per concludere con gli Stati Urtiti . Nell' allegato VII figurano le
concessioni compensative accordate dagli Stati Uniti per i tessuti
contenenti lana .
