Grundnotat til Folketingets Europaudvalg

Kommissionens forslag til Rådets forordning om anvendelse af et arrange-

ment med generelle toldpræferencer for perioden 1. juli 2005 til 31. december

2008

Kom(2004) 699

Kommissionen har d. 20. oktober 2004 fremsat et forordningsforslag om anvendelse af et arran-

gement med generelle toldpræferencer for perioden 1. juli 2005 til 31. december 2008 (GSP).

Baggrund

EU har siden 1971 åbnet for handelspræferencer til udviklingslande inden for rammerne af GSP,

hvorunder medlemslandene kan tilbyde udviklingslande særligt gunstige markedsadgangsvilkår

ved toldnedsættelser for industrivarer og landbrugsprodukter, som ikke udstrækkes til de øvrige

WTO-lande. Systemets overordnede formål er at fremme en bæredygtig udvikling i udviklings-

landene.

I praksis er GSP baseret på 10-årige retningslinier, der implementeres ved forordninger gældende

for treårige periode. Den nuværende GSP-forordning (2501/2001) blev med forordning

2211/2003 ændret og forlænget således, at den udløber den 31. december 2005.

Ind hold

Forslaget har til hensigt at sikre en stabil, forudseelig, objektiv og forenklet GSP-ordning der

bygger på de hidtidige erfaringer. Desuden skal GSP være lettere at anvende for erhvervslivet i

både i- og ulande.

I forslaget lægges op til et forenklet GSP, idet antallet af ordninger foreslås reduceret fra de nu-

værende fem (den generelle GSP-ordning, ”Everything but Arms” samt tre særlige ordninger for

de udviklingslande lande, der opfylder visse betingelser vedrørende sociale (arbejdstager) forhold,

miljø samt bekæmpelse af narkotikaproduktion) til følgende tre:

1) Generelle GSP-ordning

2) ”Everything but Arms”-ordningen (EBA)

3) Særlige ansporende ordning for bæredygtig udvikling og god regeringsførelse (GSP+)

Ad 1) Mens præferencerne under denne ordning forbliver uændret øges vareomfanget fra ca.

6900 til 7200, herunder bl.a. med landbrugs- og fiskeriprodukter.

Ad 2) EBA, der giver told- og kvotefri adgang, for alle varer fra de mindst udviklede lande med

undtagelse af våben, forbliver uændret.

Ad 3) GSP+ ordningen skal erstatte de tre eksisterende særlige ordninger og vil give særligt gun-

stige præferencer til udviklingslande, der tiltræder de vigtigste internationale konventioner relate-

ret til sociale rettigheder, miljøbeskyttelse og god regeringsførelse, herunder bekæmpelse af nar-

kotikaproduktion. Samtidigt skal landene også være klassificeret som ”sårbare” lande – dvs. lande

hvis eksport kun omfatter et lille antal varekategorier og udgør under en procent af EU’s samlede

GSP-import. Samlet set lægges der op til, at udviklingslandene i sidste instans for at få særlige

præferencer skal tiltræde og efterleve 27 konventioner inden udgangen af 2008. Fællesskabet vil

skulle tilbagekalde GSP+ præferencerne, såfremt evalueringsmekanismerne i de relevante interna-

tionale organisationer afslører alvorlige problemer eller manglende ratificering hos de lande, der

har opnået særlige præferencer.

Der lægges op til en forenkling af reglerne for graduering, dvs. reglerne for hvornår et land, inden

for en given varekategori, anses for at være konkurrencedygtig nok til at få frataget sine GSP-

præferencer. I den forbindelse foreslås et lands andel af EU’s samlede GSP-import af den pågæl-

dende varekategori som kriterium for fastsættelse af et lands konkurrencedygtighed inden for en

given varekategori. Såfremt andelen tre år i træk udgør mere en 15 procent (12,5 procent for teks-

tiler) vil landet blive gradueret mht. den pågældende varekategori. Der vil dog blive taget særlig

hensyn til udviklingslande, hvis eksport kun omfatter et lille antal varekategorier.

Med henblik på yderligere forenkling forslås en ny inddeling af varerne omfattet af GSP. De nu-

værende regler inddeler alle produkter i 34 ”sektorer” specielt opfundet til GSP. Dette foreslås

erstattet af en opdeling i de 21 ”sektioner”, som i alle toldmæssige henseender anvendes i forbin-

delse med EU´s varehandel. Opdelingen af alle varer i disse 21 sektioner er baseret på det Har-

moniserede System, der anvendes i forbindelse med ca. 95% af al handel i verden. Det vil som

hovedregel gøre det vanskeligere for udviklingslandene at få gradueret (påført told) en vare, idet

de fleste af de 21 sektioner hver i sær indeholder flere varekategorier end hver af de nuværende

34 sektorer.

Endelig lægges der op til, at lande der i forvejen har en frihandelsaftale med EU ikke samtidig

skal være omfattet af GSP. Det understreges at de pågældende lande ikke må blive dårligere stillet

som følge af deres undtagelse fra GSP.

Beslutningsprocedure

Forslaget er fremsat med hjem-

mel i Traktatens art. 133 og kan

vedtages af Rådet med kvalifice-

ret flertal.

N ærhed s- og proportionalitetsprincippet

Overvejelser om nærhedsprincippet og proportionalitetsprincippet er ikke skønnet relevante i

forhold til dette forslag, idet handelspolitikken henhører under fællesskabskompetence.

Ud talelser

Forslaget er fremsat med hjemmel i Traktatens art. 133 og høring af Europaparlamentet er derfor

ikke obligatorisk. Rådet har dog, i overensstemmelse med tidligere praksis, besluttet at høre Eu-

ropaparlamentet og det Sociale og Økonomiske Udvalg.

Høring

Høring af relevante danske organisationer mv. er igangsat men endnu ikke afsluttet.

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences

(presented by the Commission)

PDF to HTML - Convert PDF files to HTML files

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Context

Council Regulation (EC) No 2501/2001 of 10 December 2001

applying a multiannual scheme of

generalised tariff preferences will expire on 31 December 2005. In July 2004, the Commission

adopted guidelines on the role of the GSP for the next ten-year period 2006 to 2015

. This me-

morandum explains the context and provisions of the draft proposal for the implementing regu-

lation.

In 1994, the previous guidelines

for the ten-year period 1994-2005 and their implementing regu-

lations introduced a number of important changes such as tariff modulation according to product

sensitivity, graduation and special incentive schemes. In 2001, a special arrangement for the Least

Developed Countries was introduced, for an unlimited period of time. Experience has shown

that some of these features work well in practise and should be continued while, on the other

hand, it would seem necessary to adjust some of the measures in light of experience gained.

The Community has granted trade preferences to developing countries in the framework of its

GSP since 1971. Trade policy plays a key role in the EU’s relations with the rest of the world.

The GSP scheme is part of that policy and must be consistent with and consolidate the objectives

of development policy. To this end, this scheme must also be compatible with the Doha Deve-

lopment Agenda. A key priority is to help developing countries to benefit from globalisation, in

particular by linking trade and sustainable development.

Consultation of interested parties

A wide number of interest groups have expressed their view and made their own observations

and recommendations on the future of the GSP. The Council has presented its conclusions to

the Communication on the ten-year guidelines and the European Parliament and European Eco-

nomic and Social Committee have similarly expressed their opinions on the guidelines. A civil

society dialogue was conducted in July 2004. Trade unions and various professional associations

have expressed their views. Beneficiary countries of the GSP have been active in bringing for-

ward their views. Owing to the specialised statistics required, impact assessments have been con-

ducted internally.

Budgetary implications

The regulation does not incur costs charged to the EC budget. Its application does, however,

entail loss of customs revenue. The annual loss of customs revenue resulting from the draft regu-

lation is estimated to be EUR 2,2 billion. The proposed regulation entails some changes with

respect to the current one. These relate to the graduation mechanism, a new special arrangement

for sustainable development (merging three previous arrangements) and changes to the product

coverage. It is not expected that these changes would mean a significant change in loss of reve-

nue compared to the present situation.

Explanation of the provisions

Simplification has been achieved through a reduction in the number of arrangements, from five

to three and in particular by the introduction of a single incentive arrangement in place of the

three special schemes for the protection of labour rights, of the environment and to combat drug

production and trafficking. Thus the proposed scheme consists of a general arrangement, a spe-

cial incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance and a special arran-

gement for the least developed countries (“EBA – Everything But Arms”).

Further simplification will be achieved in time by removing from the list of beneficiaries those

countries that enjoy preferential access to the Community market under the terms of an agree-

ment, usually a free-trade agreement (FTA). The Community would ensure that no country

would lose as a result of this transformation because benefits for any particular product which

previously received GSP treatment would be consolidated into the FTA in question.

As under the current scheme, preferences shall continue being differentiated according to the

sensitivity of products. The regulation maintains the current flat rate reduction of 3,5 percentage

points for sensitive products and 100% for non-sensitive products. However, it enlarges the sco-

pe of the scheme by introducing new products in the general arrangement and by introducing a

generous special incentive scheme. The EBA arrangement maintains its global coverage of eve-

rything but arms while the two other arrangements incorporate new - mainly agricultural and

fishery - products.

The current GSP Regulation provides for two special incentive arrangements for the protection

of labour rights and the environment. These arrangements should be incorporated into a broader

scheme in order to reflect the integral nature of the concept of sustainable development.

It is universally recognised that sustainable development involves a variety of aspects, such as

respect of fundamental human and labour rights, good governance and environmental protecti-

on. Interrelationship among these elements has been expressed, in particular, in multiple interna-

tional conventions and instruments such as the UN Declaration on the Right to Development of

1986, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development of 1992, the Vienna Declaration

and Programme of Action of 1993, the UN Agenda for Development of 1997, the ILO Declara-

tion on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work of 1998, the UN Millenium Declaration of

2000 and the Johannesburg Declaration of Sustainable Development of 2002. In addition, the

fight against drugs is a shared responsibility to all countries.

One element in promoting sustainable development is to improve the economic situation in de-

veloping countries, in particular in those which are less integrated into the international trading

system and which lack diversification of their economies. Consequently, developing countries

which are most vulnerable and which through the ratification and effective implementation of the

basic conventions on human and labour rights and the protection of the environment and good

governance assume special burdens and responsibilities should benefit from additional tariff pre-

ferences under the GSP scheme. Conversely, high income countries and countries with a relati-

vely high degree of diversification and trade integration are in a different position as they are de-

emed to have the resources allowing them to pursue sustainable development policies without

additional assistance. The special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good

governance therefore targets those developing countries most in need.

The additional preferences are immediately granted to developing countries that have ratified and

effectively implemented the 16 core conventions on human and labour rights and 7 of the con-

ventions related to good governance and the protection of the environment. At the same time

beneficiary countries are committing themselves to ratifying and effectively implementing the

international conventions which they have not yet ratified.

The 16 conventions on human and labour rights have been selected as they incorporate universal

standards and reflect rules of customary international law and they form the core basis of the

concept of sustainable development. The remaining conventions reflect basic global standards

aiming at the effective implementation of policies geared to sustainable development.

The relevant conventions are also those with mechanisms that the relevant international organisa-

tions can use to regularly evaluate how effectively they have been implemented. The Commission

will take into account these evaluations before deciding which of the applicant countries will be

selected to benefit from the incentive scheme. Based on the applications from developing coun-

tries the Commission will later produce a list of the beneficiaries under the arrangement.

In addition to targeting GSP on countries through the graduation mechanism as described below,

measures have been adopted to dampen the shock when the United Nations removes a country

from the list of LDCs, in the form of a transition period for gradual withdrawal of a country

from the special GSP, the Everything-But-Arms arrangement. At present, the country in question

automatically loses all the GSP advantages it enjoyed as an LDC. The new mechanism allows for

a gradual removal of a country from the EBA arrangement.

Graduation shall be applied to groups of products from countries that are competitive on the

Community market and no longer need the GSP to boost their exports. Graduation is not a pe-

nalty, it is a sign that the GSP has successfully performed its function, at least in relation to the

countries and products in question. In this way, graduation is very closely linked to the economic

competitiveness of the beneficiary countries. The GSP thus focuses on the countries most in

need and helps them play a greater role in international trade. For the other beneficiary countries,

graduation brings about greater share of the benefits of GSP.

Essential changes have been made to the graduation mechanism to make it simpler. The current

criteria (share of preferential imports, development index and export-specialisation index) have

been replaced with a single straightforward criterion: share of the Community market, expressed

as a share of preferential imports. Groups of products are defined by reference to the “sections”

in the Combined Nomenclature. As only those countries that are competitive for all the products

in a section are graduated, small beneficiary countries have not been graduated solely on the basis

of a few competitive products in a section.

Graduation should also play an important role in regulating trade flows for textile products and

clothing, following the abolition of MFA quotas on 31 December 2004.

The new GSP with a graduation mechanism targeted on the most competitive countries will me-

an that most beneficiaries will be granted preferences without any restrictions other than compli-

ance with the relevant GSP rules. The GSP temporary withdrawal provisions and the safeguard

clause will take account of this new situation. Even though they will still be for use in exceptional

circumstances only, those provisions will be made more credible and the way they are used more

flexible, in particular in case of unfair trading practices.

As soon as the regulation applies, the Commission will assess its impact on the outermost regions

of the EU.

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences

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

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Since 1971, the Community has granted trade preferences to developing countries, in

the framework of its scheme of generalised tariff preferences.

The Community's common commercial policy must be consistent with and consolidate

the objectives of development policy, in particular the eradication of poverty and the

promotion of sustainable development and good governance in the developing coun-

tries. It must comply with the WTO requirements, and in particular with the GATT

Enabling clause of 1979

A communication

from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament and

the European Economic and Social Committee of 7 July 2004 sets out the guidelines

for the application of the scheme of generalised tariff preferences for the period 2006

to 2015.

The first regulation implementing these guidelines should apply from 1 July 2005 until

31 December 2008.

The scheme should consist of a general arrangement granted to all the beneficiary

countries and territories and two special arrangements taking into account the various

development needs of similar-situated developing countries.

The general arrangement should be granted to all beneficiary countries unless they are

classified by the World Bank as a high-income country and if they are not sufficiently

diversified in their exports.

The special arrangement for sustainable development and good governance is based

on an integral concept of sustainable development as recognized by international con-

ventions and instruments such as the UN Declaration on the Right to Development of

1986, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development of 1992, the ILO Decla-

ration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work of 1998, the UN Millennium

Declaration of 2000 and the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development of

2002. Consequently, developing countries which due to a lack of diversification and

insufficient integration into the international trading system are vulnerable while as-

suming special burdens and responsibilities due to the ratification and effective im-

plementation of core international conventions on human and labour rights, environ-

mental protection and good governance should benefit from additional tariff prefer-

ences. These preferences are designed to promote further economic growth and there-

by to respond positively to the need for sustainable development. Under this arrange-

ment tariffs are therefore suspended for the beneficiary countries.

The Commission will monitor the effective implementation of the international con-

ventions in accordance with the respective mechanisms thereunder and it will assess

the relationship between additional tariff preferences and the promotion of sustainable

development.

The special arrangement for the least developed countries should continue granting

duty-free access to products originating in the least developed countries, as recognized

and classified by the United Nations. For a country no longer classified by the United

Nations as a least developed country a transitional period should be established to al-

leviate any adverse effects caused by removal of the tariff preferences granted under

this arrangement.

Preferences should continue being differentiated according to the sensitivity of prod-

ucts, differentiating between non-sensitive and sensitive products, to take into account

the situation of the sectors manufacturing the same products in the Community.

Tariff duties on non-sensitive products should continue to be suspended, while duties

on sensitive products should enjoy a tariff reduction to ensure a satisfactory utilisation

rate while at the same time taking into account the situation of the respective Commu-

nity industries.

Such reduction should be sufficiently attractive in order to motivate traders to use the

opportunities offered by the scheme. As far as ad valorem duties are concerned, the

reduction should therefore be a flat rate of 3,5 percentage points of the most favoured

nation (MFN) duty rate. Specific duties should be reduced by 30 %. Where duties

specify a minimum duty, that minimum duty should not apply.

Where preferential duty rates, calculated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No

2501/2001 of 10 December 2001 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences

for the period from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2004

, provide a higher tariff re-

duction, they should continue to apply so as not to derive beneficiary countries of ben-

efits granted under an earlier scheme.

Duties should be totally suspended where preferential treatment results in ad valorem

duties of 1 % or less or in specific duties of EUR 2 or less as the cost of collecting

such duties is higher than the revenue gained.

For the sake of coherence of the Community commercial policy, a beneficiary country

should not benefit from both the GSP and a free trade agreement, if this agreement co-

vers at least all the preferences provided by the present scheme for this country.

Graduation should be based on criteria related to sections of the Common Customs

Tariff. The graduation of a section for a beneficiary country should be applied when

the section meets the criteria for graduation during three consecutive years to increase

predictability and fairness of graduation by eliminating the effect of large and excep-

tional variations in the import statistics.

The rules of origin, concerning the definition of the concept of originating products,

the procedures and the methods of administrative cooperation related thereto, laid

down in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93

, apply to tariff preferences provided for by

this regulation to ensure that the benefit of this scheme goes only to those whom the

scheme is intended to benefit.

The reasons for temporary withdrawal should include serious and systematic viola-

tions of the principles laid down in the conventions listed in Annex III so as to pro-

mote the objectives of those conventions and to ensure that no beneficiary receives un-

fair advantage through continuous violation of those conventions.

Due to the political situation in Myanmar, temporary withdrawal of all tariff prefer-

ences in respect of imports of products originating in Myanmar should remain in force.

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted

in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the

procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission

The regulation should exceptionally apply before its entry into force in order to allow

for the timely identification of the beneficiary countries for the general arrangement

and the special arrangement for sustainable development and good governance.

2. The Commission may decide, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 28, to

initiate an investigation.

Article 17

1. Where the Commission decides to initiate an investigation, it shall publish a notice in the

Offici-

interested parties may make their views known in writing.

2. The Commission shall provide the beneficiary country concerned with every opportunity to

cooperate in the investigation.

3. The Commission shall seek all information it considers necessary and may verify the informa-

tion received with economic operators and the beneficiary country concerned. The available as-

sessments, comments, decisions, recommendations and conclusions of the various supervisory

bodies of the UN, the ILO and other competent international organizations, shall serve as the

point of departure for the investigation as to whether temporary withdrawal is justified for the

reason referred to in point (a) of Article 15(1).

4. The Commission may be assisted by officials of the Member State on whose territory verifica-

tion might be sought, if that Member State so requests.

5. Where information requested by the Commission is not provided within a reasonable period

In that case, the Commission shall publish a notice in the Official Journal of the

Official Journal of

the European Union,

announcing the termination of the investigation and setting out its main con-

clusions.

referred to in point (a) of Article 15(1), it shall decide, in accordance with the procedure laid

down in Article 28, to monitor and evaluate the situation in the beneficiary country concerned

for a period of six months. The Commission shall notify this decision to the beneficiary country

concerned and shall publish a notice in the

Official Journal of the European Union,

announcing that it

intends to submit a proposal to the Council for temporary withdrawal, unless, before the end of

the period, the beneficiary country concerned made a commitment to take the measures necessa-

4. Where the Commission considers temporary withdrawal to be necessary, it shall submit an

appropriate proposal to the Council, which shall decide within 30 days by a qualified majority.

5. Where at the end of the period referred to in paragraph 3, the Commission finds that the bene-

ficiary country concerned has not made the required commitment, and where it considers tempo-

rary withdrawal necessary, it shall submit an appropriate proposal to the Council, which shall

decide within 30 days by a qualified majority. Where the Council decides on temporary withdra-

wal, such decision shall enter into force six months after it was taken, unless it is decided before

then that the reasons justifying it no longer prevail.

threaten to cause, serious difficulties to a Community producer of like or directly competing pro-

ducts, normal Common Customs Tariff duties on that product may be reintroduced at any time

at the request of a Member State or on the Commission's initiative.

YES NO

The regulation does not incur costs charged to the EC budget. Its application does, however,

entail loss of customs revenue. The annual loss of customs revenue for the draft regulation is

estimated to be EUR 2,2 billion (based on GSP statistics for the year 2003).

The proposed regulation entails some changes with respect to the current one. These relate to

changes in the graduation mechanism and establishing a new special arrangement for sustainable

developed (merging three previous arrangements). The draft regulation also proposes extending

the product coverage by including in the general arrangement some products covered by the

previous drug regime and in the new incentive arrangement products of the previous drug regi-

me as well as some products previously covered only by the general arrangement. It is not ex-

pected that these changes would mean a significant change in loss of revenue compared to the

present situation.
