(ХС), изброени в притурка А към приложението към тази декларация, иб) всички продукти, посочени в добавка притурка Б от приложението към тази декларация, независимо дали са включени или не в притурка А,посредством намаляване на равни части на ставките на митата, започвайки през 1997 г. и приключвайки през 2000 г., признавайки, че удължаване на етапите за намаляване на митата и разширяване на продуктовия обхват преди прилагането, може да се окаже необходимо при определени обстоятелства.3. Министрите изразяват удовлетворение относно широкия продуктов обхват, посочен в приложенията от анекса към тази декларация. Те дават указания на съответните си служители добросъвестно да положат усилия за приключване на плурилатералните технически обсъждания в Женева въз основа на тези условия и възлагат на тези служители да приключат работата си до 31 януари 1997 г., с цел осигуряване на прилагането на тази декларация от най-голям брой участници.4. Министрите канят министрите на други страни - членки на СТО, и държави или отделни митнически територии в процес на присъединяване към СТО, да предоставят подобни указания до съответните свои служители, така че те да могат да участват в техническите обсъждания, споменати в параграф 3 по-горе, и да участват пълноценно в разширяването на световната търговия с продукти на информационните технологии.Прнлодение: | Условия и продуктов обхват |Притурка А: | списък на позициите по ХС |Притурка Б: | списък на продуктите |19961213ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕУСЛОВИЯ И ПРОДУКТОВ ОБХВАТВсяка членка на Световната търговска организация, или държава или отделна митническа територия в процес на присъединяване към СТО може да участва в разширяването на световната търговия с продукти на информационните технологии в съответствие със следните условия:1. Всяка страна участник ще отрази мерките, описани в параграф 2 на декларацията, в своя списък към Общото споразумение за митата и търговията (1994 г.) и в допълнение на ниво тарифни редове или на шестзначно ниво по Хармонизираната система от 1996 г. (ХС) в своята митническа тарифа или във всяка друга публикувана версия на списъка на тарифните отстъпки, която обикновено се използва от вносителите и износителите. Всяка страна участник, която не е страна - членка на СТО, ще прилага тези мерки на автономна основа в очакване на приключването на преговорите за присъединяването й към СТО и ще включи тези мерки в списъка на задълженията си в СТО по достъпа до пазара на стоки.2. За тази цел възможно най-скоро, но не по-късно от 1 март 1997 г. всяка страна участник ще предостави на другите участници документ, съдържащ: а) подробна информация относно това как съответното митническо третиране ще бъде осигурено в неговия списък на тарифните отстъпки в СТО, и б) изчерпателен списък на тарифните позиции по ХС за продуктите, указани в притурка Б. Тези документи ще бъдат разгледани и одобрени на основата на консенсус, като този преглед следва да завърши не по-късно от 1 април 1997 г. Веднага след приключването на процеса за всеки такъв документ той ще бъде представен като изменение на списъка на тарифните отстъпки на съответната страна участник, в съответствие с Решението от 26 март 1980 г. относно процедурите за изменение и коригиране на списъците на тарифните отстъпки (BISD 27S/25).а) Отстъпките, предложени от всяка страна участник като изменение на нейния списък, следва да се изразяват в обвързване и премахване на всички мита и други налози и такси от всякакъв вид върху продуктите на информационните технологии, както следва:i) премахването на митата ще се осъществи посредством намаляване на ставките им на равни части, освен ако друго не е договорено от страните участници; в случай че не е договорено друго, всяка страна участник ще обвърже митата по тарифните позиции и подпозиции, посочени в приложенията, не по-късно от 1 юли 1997 г. и ще приложи първото намаление на ставките не по-късно от 1 юли 1997 г.; второто намаление на ставките - не по-късно от 1 януари 1998 г., третото намаление на ставките - не по-късно от 1 януари 1999 г., и премахването на митата ще бъде завършено не по-късно от 1 януари 2000 г.; страните участници се съгласяват да насърчават автономното премахване на митата преди тези дати; намалената ставка на всеки етап ще се закръглява до първия десетичен знак, иii) премахването на всички други налози и такси от всякакъв вид по смисъла на член II:1 (б) от Общото споразумение за митата и търговията следва да бъде завършено до 1 юли 1997 г., освен ако друго не е указано в представения за преглед от другите страни участници документ с предложенията на страна участник.б) Измененията в списъка на тарифните отстъпки, които страната участник предлага с оглед прилагане на обвързването и премахването на митата върху продуктите на информационните технологии, следва да доведат до:i) в случая на изброените в притурка А тарифни позиции по ХС - създаване в списъка на тарифните отстъпки, където е подходящо, на тарифни подразбивки на национално ниво, иii) в случая на изброените в притурка Б продукти - прилагане на анекс към списъка на тарифните отстъпки на страната, включващ всички продукти от притурка Б, в който те да бъдат подробно специфицирани на ниво национални тарифни номера или на шестзначно ниво по ХС.Всяка страна участник следва своевременно да измени националния си тарифен списък с оглед отразяване на предложените от нея изменения веднага след тяхното влизане в сила.3. Страните участници ще се срещат периодично под егидата на Съвета за търговия със стоки, за да правят преглед на продуктовия обхват на приложенията с оглед да се договарят чрез консенсус дали в светлината на технологичното развитие, опита в прилагането на тарифните отстъпки или с оглед на промените в номенклатурата на ХС приложенията следва да бъдат изменяни така, че да обхванат допълнителни продукти, и да обсъждат нетарифните пречки пред търговията с продукти на информационните технологии. Такива консултации няма да накърняват правата и задълженията по Споразумението за създаване на СТО.4. Страните участници ще се срещнат възможно най-скоро, и при всички случаи не по-късно от 1 април 1997 г., за да направят преглед на получените документи за приемане на декларацията, както и да направят преценка на съответните заключения. Страните участници ще предприемат предвидените в декларацията действия, при условие че участниците, представляващи приблизително 90 % [1] от световната търговия. с продукти на информационните технологии, са нотифицирали към тази дата приемането на декларацията и че договорените етапи на намаляване на митническите ставки удовлетворяват всички страни участници. При вземането на решение за предприемане на действията, предвидени в декларацията, ако страните участници представляват по-малко от 90 % от световната търговия с продукти на информационните технологии, страните участници могат да вземат предвид степента на участие на държавите или отделните митнически територии, представляващи съществен дял от търговията им с такива продукти. На това заседание страните участници ще установят дали тези критерии са били спазени.5. Страните участници ще се срещат толкова често, колкото е необходимо, но не по-късно от 30 септември 1997 г. с оглед обсъждането на всяко различие между тях, свързано с класифицирането на продуктите на информационните технологии, започвайки с продуктите по приложение Б. Страните участници се съгласяват тяхна обща цел да бъде постигането, където е подходящо, на единна класификация на тези продукти в рамките на съществуващата номенклатура на ХС, вземайки под внимание тълкуванията и правилата на Съвета за митническо сътрудничество (познат още като Световна митническа организация, или "СМО"). В случаите, когато има различия в класификацията, страните участници ще обсъдят възможността за съвместно предложение до СМО относно осъвременяването на съществуващата номенклатура на ХС или разрешаването на различията чрез тълкуване на номенклатурата на ХС.6. Страните участници разбират, че член XXIII на Общото споразумение ще се отнася до анулиране или намаляване на ползите, произтичащи пряко или косвено за страна участник в СТО от прилагането на тази декларация, в резултат от прилагането от друга страна участник в СТО на всяка една мярка, независимо дали тази мярка противоречи на разпоредбите на Общото споразумение или не.7. Всяка страна участник следва да разглежда благосклонно всяка молба на друга страна участник за консултации относно описаните по-горе договорености. Такива консултации ще се провеждат без да се накърняват правата или задълженията по Споразумението за създаване на СТО.8. Страните участници, действащи под егидата на Съвета за търговия със стоки, ще информират другите страни - членки на СТО и държавите или отделните митнически територии в процес на присъединяване към СТО за настоящите условия, и ще започнат консултации с оглед насърчаване тяхното участие в разширяването на търговията с продукти на информационните технологии на основата на Декларацията.9. Терминът "страна участник" така, както се използва в тези условия, означава страните - членки на СТО или държави или отделни митнически територии в процес на присъединяване към СТО, които представят документа по параграф 2 не по-късно от 1 март 1997 г.10. Този анекс е открит за приемане от всички страни - членки на СТО и от всяка държава или отделна митническа територия в процес на присъединяване към СТО. Приемането следва да бъде нотифицирано писмено пред Генералния директор, който следва да го разпространи до всички страни участници.Към приложението има две притурки.Притурка А изброява обхванатите позиции по ХС или части от тях.Притурка Б изброява специфичните продукти, които следва да бъдат обхванати от Декларацията, независимо от това къде в ХС са класифицирани.19961213Attachment A, Section

Such lists shall be circulated to all participants.(b) Beginning 1 January 1998 and no later than 31 March 1998, participants that have submitted the documentation described in paragraph (a) above shall consult upon request with interested participants to clarify information and exchange views on the documentation submitted, including technical specifications of the products covered in such documentation.(c) No later than 30 June 1998, the Committee shall meet to decide whether to revise Attachment A or B to the Annex to the Declaration, and if so, to establish a revised list of products with respect to which participants would bind and eliminate customs duties and other duties and charges. Such list would replace Attachment A or B.(d) If the Committee decides to establish a revised list pursuant to paragraph (c), then each participant shall submit no later than 1 September 1998 a document similar to that required under paragraph 2 of the Annex to the Declaration.(e) The Committee shall meet no later than 15 September 1998 to conduct a review of these documents in a manner similar to that conducted pursuant to paragraph 2 of the Annex to the Declaration, and shall conclude its review no later than 30 September 1998. At that meeting participants shall also consider the possibility and procedures for further reviews.(f) Upon successful completion of the Committee review, the participants shall submit to the Secretariat the documents incorporating the results of the review as proposed modifications to their WTO schedules of tariff concessions, pursuant to the Decision of 26 March 1980 on Procedures for Modification and Rectification of Schedules of Tariff Concessions (BISD, 27S/25), with a view to the entry into force of the revised schedules, and incorporation in their domestic tariff schedules, no later than 1 January 1999 bearing in mind the need of each participant to fulfil its domestic procedural requirements. Each participant that is not a Member of the WTO shall implement these measures on an autonomous basis, pending completion of its WTO accession, and shall incorporate these measures into its WTO schedule on goods.[1] От името на митническия съюз на Швейцария и Лихтенщайн.[1] Този процент ще бъде изчислен от Секретариата на СТО на основата на последната информация, която е в наличност към времето на заседанието[1] Participants will conduct a review of this product description in January 1999 under the consultation provisions of paragraph 3 of the Declaration.[1] Participants will conduct a review of this product description in January 1999 under the consultation of paragraph 3 of the Declaration.[2] On behalf of the customs union Switzerland and Liechtenstein.[3] Participants took note that Panama and Poland submitted documents after 1 March 1997 that could not be reviewed by 26 March 1997 and that others may submit documents on or before 1 April 1997. Participants agreed to meet again during the week of 14 April 1997 to complete the review process with respect to these documents. It was understood that, upon approval of these documents, the procedures set forth in the Annex to the Declaration would apply as if the documents had been approved at the meeting of 26 March 1997, and the States or separate customs territories referred to above would thenceforth be considered to be "participants" for purposes of the further implementation of the Declaration.[4] WT/MIN(96)/16, 13 December 1996 (attached).[5] The WTO Secretariat shall maintain a set of the informal documents exchanged by participants in consultations that led to the decisions taken at that meeting. These documents shall be made available to participants for consultation upon request.[6] Subject to the completion of domestic procedural requirements.[7] The text of paragraph 3 is as follows: "Participants shall meet periodically under the auspices of the Council on Trade in Goods to review the product coverage specified in the Attachments, with a view to agreeing, by consensus, whether in the light of technological developments, experience in applying the tariff concessions, or changes to the HS nomenclature, the Attachments should be modified to incorporate additional products, and to consult on non-tariff barriers to trade in information technology products. Such consultations shall be without prejudice to rights and obligations under the WTO Agreement."[8] The text of paragraph 5 is as follows: "Participants shall meet as often as necessary and no later than 30 September 1997 to consider any divergence among them in classifying information technology products, beginning with the products specified in Attachment B. Participants agree on the common objective of achieving, where appropriate, a common classification for these products within existing HS nomenclature, giving consideration to interpretations and rulings of the Customs Cooperation Council (also known as the World Customs Organization or "WCO"). In any instance in which a divergence in classification remains, participants will consider whether a joint suggestion could be made to the WCO with regard to updating existing HS nomenclature or resolving divergence in interpretation of the HS nomenclature."[9] Available for consultation by participants and WTO Members in the WTO Secretariat (Market Access Division).--------------------------------------------------
