THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 113 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Albania has seen its economic situation decline to the point where this country is facing problems similar to those of countries which in the past have benefited from generalized preferences;
Whereas Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have regained their independence and have also seen their economic situation decline to the point where these three countries are facing problems similar to those of countries which in the past have benefited from  generalized preferences;
Whereas Albania, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania should therefore benefit, on a transitional basis, from the system of generalized preferences in order to increase their exports with a view to stimulating their economic development, to promote their  industrialization and to accelerate their growth rate;
Whereas the benefit of tariff preferences has been suspended on a temporary basis with respect to the Republic of Korea on account of the discriminatory treatment applied in that country to the Community in the sphere of intellectual property; whereas,  that discriminatory treatment having been terminated, there are no grounds for maintaining the suspension,
