The EU could use three tools to tackle the problem of erosion of preferences: enlarge the list of products covered by the system, move some products from the "sensitive" category to the "non sensitive" and increase the preferential margins for both categories.

Arengukomisjon kutsub rahvusvahelise kaubanduse komisjoni kui vastutavat komisjoni üles lisama oma raportisse järgmised muudatused:
The Committee on Development calls on the Committee on International Trade, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following amendments in its report:
1 a) Alates loomisest on üldiste tariifsete soodustuste kava (GSP) olnud üks peamisi vahendeid arengumaade abistamisel vaesuse vähendamisel, aidates neil saada tulu rahvusvahelisest kaubanduses, ning nende säästvale arengule kaasa aitamisel, ergutades nendes maades tööstuse arengut ja majanduse mitmekesistamist.
(1a) Since its creation, the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) has been one of the key instruments to assist developing countries to reduce poverty by helping them to generate revenue through international trade and to contribute to their sustainable development by promoting industrial development and the diversification of their economies.
The draftsman wants to underscore that the first and overall objective of the scheme is to assist developing countries to reduce poverty.

21 a) Kooskõlas AKV-ELi partnerluskokkuleppe artikli 37 lõikega 6 võetakse käesoleva määruse muutmisel 2008. aastal arvesse nende AKV maade, sealhulgas vähimarenenud maade huvisid, kes ei soovi või ei suuda sõlmida Cotonou kokkuleppe raames majandusliku partnerluse kokkulepet (EPA), nii et nende jaoks muutuks üldiste tariifsete soodustuste kava arvestatavaks alternatiivseks "turvavõrguks".
(21a) According to Article 37(6) of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, the revision of this Regulation in 2008 shall take into account the interests of the ACP countries, including non-LDC countries, not willing or able to conclude an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) in the context of the Cotonou Agreement, so that the GSP becomes a valuable alternative ‘safety net’ for these countries.
In June 1998, in setting the mandate for the negotiation of EPAs in the context of the Cotonou agreement, the Council and Commission stated that the 2004 review of the GSP would provide non-LDC ACP countries that are not in a position to join such EPAs with a new framework for trade which would be equivalent to that available to them under the Lomé Convention.

The current GSP regulation does not provide an adequate alternative for these preferences and should therefore be subject to possible revision after future discussions with ACP countries.

Kui soodustatud riigi ja ühenduse vahel on sõlmitud ärikokkulepe, mis hõlmab vähemalt kõiki kõnealusele riigile kehtiva kavaga ettenähtud soodustusi, jäetakse soodustatud riik välja I lisas loetletud soodustatud riikide nimekirjast.
When a beneficiary country benefits from a commercial agreement with the Community which covers at least all the preferences provided by the present scheme for this country, it is excluded from the list of beneficiary countries in Annex I.

The current text of the Regulation differs from that of the explanatory memorandum in that the Regulation leaves the possibility that some FTAs with developing countries, such as EPAs, provide for a preferential access that is less favourable than this new GSP, whereas the explanatory memorandum states that EPAs will have to provide a preferential access that is similar to the one received before.

The special incentive arrangement is an essential part of the GSP as an incentive for sustainable development, good governance and the environment and should therefore have a place in any future commercial arrangements between the European Union and developing countries.
