                                                              EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.    On 5 September 2003, the Commission presented a proposal for a Council Regulation codifying Council Regulation  (EC)  No  2007/2000  of  18
       September 2000 introducing exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked  to  the  European  Union's
       Stabilisation and Association process, amending Regulation (EC) No 2820/98, and repealing  Regulations  (EC)  No  1763/1999  and  (EC)  No
       6/2000[1].

2.    In its opinion of 7 November 2003, the Consultative Working Party of the Legal Services set up under the  Interinstitutional  Agreement  of
       20 December 1994 on an accelerated working method for official codification of legislative texts[2] has stated that the proposal  referred
       to in point 1 does indeed confine itself to straightforward codification, without any substantive changes to the acts covered by it.

3.    Having regard to the amendments adopted[3] in respect of the proposal referred to in point 1 and in view of the work  already  carried  out
       in the Council thereon, the Commission has decided to present – in accordance with Article 250(2) of the EC Treaty – an  amended  proposal
       for codification of the Regulation in question.

       This amended proposal also takes account of the purely formal or editorial changes proposed by the Consultative Working Party of the Legal
       Services, where these are considered justified[4].

4.    The changes made in this amended proposal, compared with the proposal referred to in point 1, are the following:

       (2)  Recital 3 is replaced by the following:

           “(3)  A continued Community market opening to the imports from the Western Balkan countries is expected to contribute to the  process
                of political and economic stabilisation in the region while not creating negative effects for the Community.”

       (3)  Recital 8 is replaced by the following:

           “(8)  The Republic of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Montenegro and the Republic of Serbia,  including  Kosovo,  as
                defined by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999) subject to international civil administration by the United
                Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), (hereinafter referred to as ‘Kosovo’) fulfil these conditions, and similar  trade  preferences
                should be granted to all of them in order to avoid discrimination within the region.”

       (4)  The following Recitals 9 and 10 are inserted:

           “(9)  The trade measures provided for in this Regulation should take into account that  the  Republic  of  Serbia  and  Kosovo,  each
                constitute a separate customs territory.

           (10)  The Community has concluded an agreement on trade in textile products with the Republic of Serbia*.

    introducing exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked to the European Union's Stabilisation and

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament[5],

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee[6],

Whereas:

                                            ê 

   1) Council Regulation (EC) No  2007/2000  of  18  September  2000  introducing  exceptional  trade  measures  for  countries  and  territories
      participating in or linked to the European Union's Stabilisation  and  Association  process,  amending  Regulation  (EC)  No  2820/98,  and
      repealing Regulations (EC) No 1763/1999 and (EC) No 6/2000[7], has been substantially amended several times[8]. In the interests of clarity
      and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.

                                            ê 2007/2000 Recital 1

   2) At its meeting in Lisbon on 23 and 24 March 2000, the European Council concluded that Stabilisation and Association Agreements with Western
      Balkan countries should be preceded by asymmetrical trade liberalisation.

                                            ê 2007/2000 Recital 4 and 1946/2005 Recital 3 (adapted)

   3) Ö A continued Community Õ market opening Ö to the imports from the Western Balkan countries Õ is expected to contribute to the  process  of
      political and economic stabilisation in the region while not creating negative effects for the Community.

                                            ê 2007/2000 Recital 5

   4) It is, therefore, appropriate to further improve the Community’s autonomous trade preferences by removing all remaining tariff ceilings for
      industrial products and by further improving access to the Community market for agricultural  and  fishery  products,  including  processed
      products.

                                            ê 2007/2000 Recital 6

   5) These measures are proposed as part of the EU Stabilisation and Association process, in a response to the specific situation in the Western
      Balkans. They will not constitute a precedent for Community trade policy with other third countries.

                                            ê 2007/2000 Recital 7

   6) In accordance with the EU Stabilisation and Association process, based on the earlier Regional Approach and the Council Conclusions  of  29
      April 1997, the development of bilateral relations between the European Union and the  Western  Balkan  countries  is  subject  to  certain
      conditions. The granting of autonomous trade preferences is linked to respect for fundamental principles of democracy and human rights  and
      to the readiness of the countries concerned to develop economic relations between themselves. The granting  of  improved  autonomous  trade
      preferences in favour of countries participating in the EU Stabilisation and Association process should be linked  to  their  readiness  to
      engage in effective economic reforms and in regional co-operation, in particular through the establishment of free trade areas in line with
      relevant GATT/WTO standards. In addition, entitlement to benefit from autonomous trade preferences is  conditional  on  the  beneficiaries’
      involvement in effective administrative co-operation with the Community in order to prevent any risk of fraud.

   7) Trade preferences can only be granted to countries or territories possessing a customs administration.

   8) Ö The Republic of Õ Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina Ö the Republic of Montenegro and the Republic of Serbia, including Õ Kosovo, as defined
      by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999) subject to international civil administration by the United  Nations  Mission
      in Kosovo (UNMIK), (hereinafter referred to as ‘Kosovo’) fulfil these conditions, and similar trade preferences should be granted to all of
      them in order to avoid discrimination within the region.

                                            ê 1946/2005 Recital 5 (adapted)

   9) The trade measures provided for in Ö this Õ Regulation should take into account that the Republic of Serbia and Kosovo, each  constitute  a
      separate customs territory.

  10) The Community has concluded an agreement on trade in textile products with the Republic of Serbia[9].

  11) The Republic of Croatia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia should remain a beneficiary of this Regulation only in so far as this
      Regulation provides for concessions which are more favourable than the concessions existing under the  contractual  regimes  Ö between  the
      European Community and those countries Õ.
