Council 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

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(1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),

Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),

Whereas:

(1) Since 1971, the Community has granted trade preferences to developing countries, in the framework of its scheme of generalised tariff preferences.

(2) 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 in the developing countries.

(3) A communication from the Commission to the Council of 1 June 1994 sets out the guidelines for the application of the scheme of generalised tariff preferences for the period 1995 to 2004.

(4) Regulation (EC) No 2820/98(4) implements the scheme of generalised tariff preferences until 31 December 2001. Thereafter, the scheme should continue to apply until 31 December 2004, in accordance with the guidelines.

(5) The scheme should incorporate the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 416/2001 extending duty-free access without any quantitative restrictions to products originating in the least developed countries. The benefit of this arrangement should be granted to all countries recognized and classified by the United Nations as least developed countries.

(6) The special arrangements to combat drug production and trafficking should be closely monitored.

(7) Preferences should be differentiated according to the sensitivity of products. It would be sufficient to differentiate between two product categories, non-sensitive and sensitive products.

(8) Tariff duties on non-sensitive products should continue to be suspended, while duties on sensitive products should enjoy a tariff reduction.

(9) 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.

(10) Where preferential duty rates, calculated in accordance with Regulation (EC) 2820/98, provide a higher tariff reduction, they should continue to apply.

(11) 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.

(12) The provisions on the exclusion of beneficiary countries on grounds of the degree of their development should be applied once a year. However, countries should be excluded only where they meet the criteria for exclusion during three consecutive years, and they should be readmitted where they do not meet those criteria during three consecutive years.

(13) During the first year of application of this Regulation, the countries previously excluded should remain excluded.

(14) The provisions on graduation of sectors should be applied once a year. However, sectors should be graduated only where they meet the criteria for graduation during three consecutive years, and they should be readmitted where they do not meet those criteria during three consecutive years.

(15) During the first year of application of this Regulation, the sectors previously graduated should remain graduated.

(16) The tariff preferences under the special incentive arrangements should be as high as the preferences offered under the general arrangements, thus doubling the latter.

(17) The special incentive arrangements should grant tariff preferences in all sectors that had been graduated, equivalent to the preferences available under the general arrangements.

(18) The special incentive arrangements for the protection of labour rights should require effective application of all standards referred to in the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

(19) The available assessments, comments, decisions, recommendations and conclusions of the various supervisory bodies of the ILO, including in particular Article 33 procedures should, serve as the point of departure for the examination of requests for the special incentive arrangements for the protection of labour rights, as well as for the investigation as to whether temporary withdrawal is justified on the grounds of violations of ILO Conventions.

(20) The general rules concerning proof of origin and methods of administrative cooperation laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93(5) and the rules concerning the customs debt, in particular Article 220(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92(6), apply to tariff preferences, including those granted under the special incentive arrangements for the protection of labour rights.

(21) The special incentive arrangements for the protection of the environment should take into account new developments concerning internationally agreed standards and certification schemes.

(22) The reasons for temporary withdrawal should include serious and systematic violation of any standards referred to in the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

(23) Temporary withdrawal of all tariff preferences in respect of imports of products originating in Myanmar should remain in force.

(24) 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(7),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

4. The Commission may be assisted by officials of the Member State on whose territory verification might be sought, if that Member State so requests.

5. Where information requested by the Commission is not provided within a reasonable period or the investigation is significantly impeded, findings may be made on the basis of the facts available.

3. Where the Commission considers that the findings justify temporary withdrawal for the reason referred to in Article 26 (1)(b), it shall decide, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 39, 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 Communities, 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 necessary to conform, in a reasonable period of time, with the principles referred to in the 1998 ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

(b) where imports under these arrangements massively exceed the usual levels of production and export capacity of that country.

2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission all relevant information that may justify suspension of preferences.

3. Where the Commission considers that there is sufficient evidence that the conditions for suspension are met, it shall take all appropriate measures as quickly as possible.

2. Where the Commission decides to initiate an investigation, it shall publish a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities announcing the investigation. The notice shall state that any useful information should be sent to the Commission. It shall specify the period within which interested parties may make their views known in writing.

3. In examining whether there are serious difficulties, the Commission shall take account, inter alia, of the following factors concerning Community producers where the information is available:

ANNEX II U.K.

1. Development index U.K.

The development index refers to a country's level of industrial development. It compares that level to the one of the European Union, using the following formula:

where:

Y_i

=

the beneficiary country's gross national product per capita,

Y_ue

=

the European Union's gross national product per capita,

X_i

=

the value of the beneficiary country's manufactured exports,

X_ue

=

the value of the European Union's manufactured exports.

Manufactured exports are those of Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) 5 to 8 less 68.

2. Specialisation index U.K.

The specialisation index refers to the importance of a sector in the Community imports from a beneficiary country. It is based on the ratio between that country's share in imports from all countries, of all products of the sector concerned, whether included in the preferential arrangements or not, and its share in all imports from all countries.

3. Thresholds U.K.

Development index	Threshold for the Specialisation index
= or > − 1,0	100 %
< − 1,0 and = or > − 1,23	150 %
< − 1,23 and = or > − 1,7	500 %
< − 1,7 and = or > − 2,0	700 %.

4. Statistical sources U.K.

[F3 The statistical source for per capita income is the World Bank's World Development Report, for quarterly gross domestic product the IMF International Financial Statistics, for manufactured exports the UN Comtrade statistics, and for Community imports the Comext statistics.]

Textual Amendments

F5 Substituted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 905/2004 of 29 April 2004 amending the annexes to Council Regulation (EC) No 2501/2001 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences for the period from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2004.

ANNEX IV U.K.List of products included in the arrangements referred to in Article 1(2)

CN code : Notwithstanding the rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, the description of products is to be considered as indicative, the tariff preferences being determined by the CN codes. Where ex CN codes are indicated, the tariff preferences are to be determined by the CN code and the description together. Entry of products marked with an asterisk is subject to the conditions laid down in the relevant Community provisions. Column G : Products included in the general arrangements (Article 7). These products are listed either NS (non-sensitive in the meaning of Article 7(1)) or S (sensitive in the meaning of Article 7(2)). For reasons of simplification, products are listed in groups. These may include products for which Common Customs Tariff duties are exempted or suspended. Column E : Products included in the special incentive arrangements for the protection of the environment (Article 8(3)). Where the general arrangements include a group of products while the special arrangements for the protection of the environment include only certain products of the same group, these products are also listed individually. In that case, the individual products are again shown as included in the general arrangements. Column D : Products included in the special arrangements to combat drug production and trafficking (Article 10). For reasons of simplification, products are listed in groups. These may include products for which Common Customs Tariff duties are exempted or suspended in accordance with Article 7 or otherwise. Where the special arrangements to combat drug production and trafficking include a group of products while the general arrangements include only certain products of the same group, these products are also listed individually. In that case, the individual products are again shown as included in the special arrangements.
