                Rapport om resultaterne af genforhandlingerne
 1 . Ved meddelelser af henholdsvis 5«» 12 « og 21 . oktober 1978 ( dok.
 GATT/Secret/249 , 250 og 251 ) underrettede De forenede Staters regering,
under henvisning til bestemmelserne i artikel XXVIII , § 1 , de kontrap-
herende parter om, at den iiavde til hensigt at andre de forpligtelser ,
den havde indgået inden for rammerne af Den almindelige Overenskomst ;
der var tale om et meget stort antal toldpositioner. Formålet med de
 genforhandlinger , De forenede Stater ønskede, var at få omlagt visse spe­
 cifikke eller blandede toldsatser til værditoldsatser .
2.   Fællesskabet har gjort sine forhandlingsrett i gheder gældende for alle
de toldpositioner, hvor det er direkte interesseret part , hovedleverandør
eller leverandør med væsentlig interesse i henhold til artikel XXVIII .
3.   Med henblik på at fastsætte de omlagte satser og vurdere den påførte skade
havde den amerikanske regering foreslået , at der benyttedes en tre-årig
referenceperiode      omfattende 1975 » 1976 og 1977 * Under henvisning til
en række fortilfælde fremførte Kommissionens tjenestegrene , at de sta­
tistikker , der skalle tages i betragtning, var statistikkerne fra den
seneste periode , dvs . også fra 1978 . Selv om De forenede Stater ikke
formelt tilsluttede sig- Fællesskabets synspunkt , har de i næsten samtlige
tilfælde tilbudt kompensationer på' gfuili.ag af en referenceperiode om­
fattende 1976 , 1977 og 1978 .
4.   En omlægning fra specifikke eller blandede toldsatser til værditold­
satser ville i de fleste tilfælde have medført en forhøjelse af satserne
pr . 1 . januar 1980 - beregnet på grundlag af den seneste referenceperiode
- idet priserne på fællesskabsvarer i den nævnte periode generelt var
højere end de gennemsnitlige importpriser i De forenede Stater . Det er
grunden til , at Kommissionen desuden - med held - forsvarede det syns­
punkt , at virkningerne af de specifikke satser ikke skulle vurderes som
et hele for den samlede import , men bilateralt på basis af importen fra
Fællesskabet , således at de struktur- og prisforskelle , der eksisterer
mellem Fællesskabet og de øvrige handelspartnere , kunne træde klart frem.
 ---pagebreak---                                  - 2 -
 5 « Med hensyn til kompensationerne har Kommissionen således insisteret på,
 at de omlagte satser pr. 1 . januar 1980 ikke bliver højere end Fællesskabets
 bilaterale værditoldgennemsnit for hver position . Som en konsekvens heraf
 har EØF anmodet om nedsættelse af basistoldsatserne samt en fremskyndet
 nedsættelse af toldsatserne fra 1 . januar 1980 , hvilket De forenede- Staters
 er gået med med til , selv i visse tilfælde , hvor der i De forenede Staters
MTN-tilbud er tale om delvise undtagelser, dog ikke for kuglelejer . På sit
møde den 4 . maj 1979 udtalte Det særlige artikel 113-udvalg, at disse
kompensationer dannede et acceptabelt grundlag for     at nå til enighed med
De forenede Stater .
6 . For så vidt angår kuglelejer , har De forenede Stater under hele genfor­
handlingen holdt fast ved , at der ikke var grundlag for at yde nogen
kompensation til Fællesskabet , fordi omlægningen ikke blot ville fjerne de
specifikke toldsatser, men også "final list ", ( en toldværdiansættelses-
metode , der anvendes i De forenede Stater , og som bevirker en forøgelse af
satserne for kuglelejer fra Fællesskabet ). Det bilaterale værditoldgennem-
snit baseret på disse to elementer var ifølge De forenede Stater højere end
den omlagte sats , som De forenede Stater foreslog. Kommissionen bar af­
vist dette argument under henvisning til , at afskaffelsen af "final list "
allerede har været genstand "fc^ en afbalanceret forhandling i forbindelse
med toldværdi koden . Endelig har Kommissionen anmodet De forenede Stater om
at tilbyde en    toldnedsættelse på et halvt point for følgende amerikanske
toldpositioner 664.05 « 50 (backhold shovels ) og 664.05 « 35 ( front loaders )
( fra 2,5$ til 2$) og en nedsættelse fra 4»2$ til 2,4$ for position 668.20.35
( offset printing presses ), hvilket de har accepteret .
7 . Med hensyn til øl har De forenede Stater foreslået ikke at omlægge den
specifikke sats til en værditoldsats på betingelse af , at Fællesskabet på
sin side accepterer , at øl fra De forenede Stater i beholdere på 0 , 35 1
omsættes inden for Fællesskabet . Dette spøi^gémål er blevet behandlet i det
særlige artikel 113-udvalg samt i gruppen vedrørende økonomiske spørgsmål

eller som vedrører varer , hvori Det europæiske økonomiske Fællesskab har
hovedleverandørinteresse , vil blive trukket tilbage fra liste XX . De nye
indrømmelser , der vil finde anvendelse , er de indrømmelser , De forenede
Stater har ydet for alle de positioner , der er anført i liste XX , som er
bilagt Genéve-protokol len ( 1979 ). Disse omlægninger og indrømmelser vil
blive bragt i anvendelse i henhold til de etaper og betingelser , der er

             Rapport om resultaterne af forhandlingerne
1 . Ved meddelelse af 12. oktober 1978 (dok. GATT/Secret /250) gav De
    forenede Stater, undei henvisning til bestemmelserne i artikel
    XXVIII , § 1 , i Den almindelige Overenskomst om Told og Udenrigshandel ,
    udtryk for, at de ønskede at indlede forhandlinger med henblik på til­
    bagetrækning af alle deres toldindrømmelser vedrørende bordservice af
    keramisk materiale (position 533»ll-533»77 i den amerikanske toldtarif).
2 . Denne tilbagetrækning af indrømmelser for bordservice fra USA' s side
    indtraf , medens de multilaterale handelsforhandlinger var i gang. Det
    kompensationstilbud , der blev fremsat i slutningen af oktober 1978, viste
    at der var foretaget en vis omlægning af den amerikanske toldtarif på
    dette område og omfattede både en forhøjelse af visse satser, bl . a. for
    bordservice til hotelbrug, og indrømmelser som led i handelsforhandlingerne .
    Desuden har De forenede Stater på dette område foretaget en de fax: to-
    omlægning af de blandede toldsatser for ca. tyve af de pågældende varer,
    idet deres tilbud udelukkende var udtrykt i værditoldsatser.
3 « De forenede Stater havde på grund af Trjide Aet og deres ønske om at
    fremsætte et tilbud for denne sektor som helhed endnu ikke i oktober
    1978 fremsat tilbud om indrømmelser inden for denne sektor, da en del
    af denne havde været omfattet af beskyttelsesforanstaltninger, som
    præsidenten for De forenede Stater først bragte til ophør i oktober
    1978. Der havde imildertid været taget kontakt med de amerikanske
    myndigheder under udarbejdelsen af tilbudet for bordservice af keramisk
    materiale med henblik på at informere dem om fællesskabets synspunkter
    vedrørende denne sektor.
4 . Derfor har Fællesskabets anmodninger x forbindelse med denne genfor­
    handling kun omfattet et begrænset antal punkter:
 ---pagebreak---                                   - 2 -
    - anmodning om forbedring af tilbudet for bordservice til hotelbrug
       ( 533*20 og 533*52 , idet det fremsatte tilbud på 35$ indebar en for­
       højelse af satserne ;
    - henførelse af "baby porringers " og "tea pots " under kategorierne
       "soups , oatmeals and cereals " respektive '^everage servers "
       ( 533.37 );
    - anmodning om et tilbud for "salt and pepper shaker sets ", "oil and
      vinegar sets " og "egg cups " ( henførelse under 533»76 til 9$ i stedet
       for 26$) af andet porcelæn end benporcelæn eller af fajance ;
    - anmodning om oprettelse af en underposition med et tilbud for Bamme
      varer som under 533*76 ( candy boxes , bonbon cLishes ....) men af ler.
5* Disse anmodninger er blevet taget til følge^, bortset fra den, der ved­
    rørte bordservice til hotelbrug, som Fællesskabet eksporterer meget
    lidt af . Artikel 113-udvalget er regelmæssigt* blevet informeret om
    forløbet af diése forhandlinger og har ment , at det amerikanske tilbud
    med de nævnte ændringer som helhed udgjorde en acceptabel ordning .
6 . Den forhandlede aftale ( dok. GATT/Secret/250/Add 2 af 30. juli 1979 )
    blev paraferet den 12 . juli 197§« På denne baggrund foreslår Kommis­
    sionen , at resultaterne af genforhandlingerne med De forenede Staters
    regering godkendes .

                Rapport om resultaterne af genforhandlingerne
 1 . Ved meddelelse af 5* oktober 1978 (dok. GATT/secret/ll7 ) meddelte De
      forenede Staters regering, under henvisning til "bestemmelserne i ar­
      tikel XXVIII , § 1 , de lande , der er kontraherende parter i GATT , at
     den havde til hensigt at andre de forpligtelser, den havde indgået
      inden for rammerne af Den almindelige Overenskomst , for s& vidt an­
     går tekstilvarer af en blanding af uld. Det drejer sig i virkelig­
     heden om en tilpasning af amerikanske lovbestemmelser fra 1968 .
2 . Hed virkning fra 24. december 1966 havde De forenede Stater tilføjet
     en bestemmelse nr. 7 til bestemmelserne vedrørende afsnit 3 i TSUS
      (tekstilfibre og -varer). Ifølge den nye bestemmelse skulle vævede
     stoffer henhørende under del 3 og 4 i dette afsnit (woven fabries and
     fabri os of special const ruetion or for special purposes ) betragtes
     som vævede stoffer af uld , når hovedbestanddelen efter vægt var uld ,
     selv hvis hovedbestanddelen efter værdi var et andet tekstilmateriale .
     Den nye bestemmelse havde til følge , at visse vovede stoffer, som
     tidligere var blevet betragtet som vævede stoffer af bomuld , silke
     osv., blev underlagt de satser , der opkræves for vævede stoffer af uld ,
     og som i reglen er højere .     Bestemmelse nr. 7 fandt imidlertid ikke
     anvendelse på vævede stoffer af silke med indehold af uld på over 17
     vægtprocent af typen w jacquard,, t henhørende under pos . TSUS 337*50 .
3 . Ved samme lovgivning var en afgift på 37 »5 cents pr. pund blevet fø­
     jet til værditoldsatsen på 32$ for følgende tre positioner: TSUS 355*70 ,
     356.30 og 359.30 .
                                              v
4. Trods de bestræbelser, 'Kommissionen havde udfoldet siden 1968 , havde
    De forenede Stater ikke ændret deres beslutning og havde ikke engang
    villet tilbyde kompensationer.       Det var først i forbindelse med gen­
     forhandlingerne i henhold til artikel XXVIII , § 1 ( jf. bilag i ), at De
     forenede Stater endelig erklærede sig rede til at bringe denne gaitle
 ---pagebreak---                             - 2 -
uoverensstemmelse til ophør.   Skønt De forenede Stater har uagtet at
tilbyde en yderligere nedsættelse for tekstilvarer med indhold af uld ,
ud over den , de allerede har indrømmet i forbindelse med MTN , har de
erklæret sig rede til at foretage en yderligere nedsættelse på 1 point
for vævede stoffer af en blanding af silke henhørende under pos . TSUS
337.20 og 337.40 .  EØP har på sin side anmodet om en fremskyndelse af
nedsættelsen af satserne for disse to positioner , hvilket De forenede
Stater endelig har taget til følge , for så vidt som den endelige sats
på % for disse to positioner i den amerikanske toldtarif allerede vil
finde anvendelse fra den 1 . januar 1983 . Det særlige artikel 113-ud-
valg er nået til den konklusion , at disse kompensationer danner et
aoceptabelt grundlag for at afslutte forhandlingerne med De forenede
Stater . De kompenserende indrømmelser , som De forenede Stater har
gjort for vævede stoffer af en blanding af uld er anført i bilag VII .
