HAVING REGARD TO THE PROPOSAL FROM THE COMMISSION ( 2 ) ,

HAVING REGARD TO THE OPINION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ( 3 ) ,

WHEREAS , WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF UNCTAD , THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OFFERED TO GRANT TARIFF PREFERENCES ON CERTAIN PROCESSED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS OF CHAPTERS 1 TO 24 OF THE COMMON CUSTOMS TARIFF WHICH ORIGINATE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES ; WHEREAS THE PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT PROPOSED IN THAT OFFER CONSISTS , IN RESPECT OF CERTAIN GOODS WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO THE TRADE ARRANGEMENTS LAID DOWN IN REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 3033/80 , OF A REDUCTION IN THE FIXED COMPONENT OF THE CHARGE APPLICABLE TO SUCH GOODS BY VIRTUE OF THAT REGULATION , AND , IN RESPECT OF PRODUCTS WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO THE SINGLE CUSTOMS DUTY , OF A REDUCTION IN SUCH DUTY ; WHEREAS PREFERENTIAL IMPORTS OF THE PRODUCTS CONCERNED SHOULD BE EFFECTED WITHOUT QUANTITATIVE RESTRICTIONS ;

WHEREAS THE POSITIVE ROLE PLAYED BY THIS SYSTEM IN IMPROVING ACCESS FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES TO THE MARKETS OF THE PREFERENCE-GIVING COUNTRIES WAS RECOGNIZED AT THE NINTH SESSION OF THE UNCTAD SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON PREFERENCES ; WHEREAS IT WAS THERE AGREED THAT THE OBJECTIVES OF THE GENERALIZED PREFERENCES SCHEME WOULD NOT BE FULLY ACHIEVED BY THE END OF 1980 , THAT CONSEQUENTLY IT SHOULD BE PROLONGED BEYOND THE INITIAL PERIOD AND THAT AN OVERALL REVIEW OF THE SYSTEM SHOULD TAKE PLACE IN 1990 ;

WHEREAS IT IS DESIRABLE THEREFORE THAT THE COMMUNITY CONTINUE TO APPLY GENERALIZED TARIFF PREFERENCES , IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CONCLUSIONS REACHED IN UNCTAD AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTENTIONS EXPRESSED IN THE SAID COMMITTEE IN PARTICULAR BY ALL THE PREFERENCE-GIVING COUNTRIES ;

WHEREAS THE TEMPORARY AND NON-BINDING NATURE OF THE SYSTEM MEANS THAT THE OFFER MAY BE WITHDRAWN WHOLLY OR IN PART AT A LATER STAGE , THUS MAINTAINING THE POSSIBILITY OF REMEDYING ANY UNFAVOURABLE SITUATIONS WHICH MIGHT ARISE , INCLUDING IN THE AFRICAN , CARIBBEAN AND PACIFIC STATES ( ACP STATES ) FOLLOWING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SYSTEM ;

WHEREAS EXPERIENCE IN THE INITIAL PERIOD SHOWS THAT THE COMMUNITY SCHEME HAS TO AN APPRECIABLE EXTENT ACHIEVED ITS INTENDED OBJECTIVES ; WHEREAS IT IS THEREFORE APPROPRIATE TO MAINTAIN ITS FUNDAMENTAL FEATURES , NAMELY A REDUCTION IN CUSTOMS DUTIES WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTION IN THE QUANTITIES IMPORTED FOR CERTAIN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS LISTED IN ANNEX II , AND A REDUCTION IN CUSTOMS DUTIES WITHIN THE LIMITS OF A COMMUNITY CEILING OR TARIFF QUOTAS FOR TOBACCO , COCOA BUTTER , SOLUBLE COFFEE AND PRESERVED PINEAPPLES ;

WHEREAS , SUBJECT TO THE ABOVE CONDITIONS , EACH OF THESE COMMUNITY TARIFF QUOTAS OR CEILINGS GENERALLY CORRESPONDS TO THE AMOUNT APPLICABLE IN 1982 ;

WHEREAS THE RATES OF CONVERSION INTO NATIONAL CURRENCY OF THE PREFERENTIAL AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN ECU ARE THE RATES PROVIDED FOR IN THE COMMON CUSTOMS TARIFF ;

WHEREAS IN THE MULTILATERAL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS , IN ACCORDANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 6 OF THE TOKYO DECLARATION , THE COMMUNITY REAFFIRMED THAT SPECIAL TREATMENT SHOULD , WHENEVER POSSIBLE , BE GRANTED TO THE LEAST DEVELOPED AMONG THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES ; WHEREAS , THEREFORE , THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS LISTED IN ANNEX IV , ORIGINATING IN THE LEAST-DEVELOPED DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WHICH APPEAR IN THE LIST IN ANNEX V TO THIS REGULATION , SHOULD BE TOTALLY EXEMPT FROM CUSTOMS DUTIES ;

WHEREAS IT IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE EQUAL AND CONTINUOUS ACCESS FOR ALL COMMUNITY IMPORTERS TO THE COMMUNITY TARIFF QUOTAS AND THE UNINTERRUPTED APPLICATION OF THE RATE LAID DOWN FOR SUCH QUOTAS TO ALL IMPORTS OF THE PRODUCTS CONCERNED INTO ALL MEMBER STATES UNTIL THE QUOTAS ARE USED UP ; WHEREAS THE COMMUNITY NATURE OF THE QUOTAS CAN BE RESPECTED BY APPORTIONING THE COMMUNITY TARIFF QUOTAS AMONG THE MEMBER STATES ; WHEREAS , MOREOVER , TO THIS END AND IN THE CONTEXT OF THE UTILIZATION SYSTEM , THE ACTUAL CHARGES AGAINST THE QUOTAS MAY RELATE ONLY TO PRODUCTS WHICH HAVE BEEN ENTERED FOR FREE CIRCULATION AND WHICH ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN ;

WHEREAS , TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF FUTURE IMPORT TRENDS IN THE VARIOUS MEMBER STATES IN RESPECT OF THE TARIFF QUOTAS AND TO MITIGATE ANY INADEQUACY IN THE FIXEDSCALE APPORTIONMENT , THE QUOTAS SHOULD BE DIVIDED INTO TWO TRANCHES , THE FIRST BEING APPORTIONED AMONG THE MEMBER STATES AND THE SECOND HELD AS A RESERVE TO COVER SUBSEQUENTLY THE REQUIREMENTS OF MEMBER STATES WHICH HAVE EXHAUSTED THEIR INITIAL SHARES ; WHEREAS , MOREOVER , THE RESERVE CONSTITUTED AS DESCRIBED TENDS TO AVOID MAKING THE SYSTEM OF UTILIZATION OF THE QUOTAS EXCESSIVELY RIGID , TO THE DETRIMENT OF EACH OF THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES CONCERNED , AND WILL CONTRIBUTE TO ACHIEVING THE AIM ALREADY MENTIONED OF IMPROVING THE GENERALIZED PREFERENCES SYSTEM ;

WHEREAS MEMBER STATES MAY EXHAUST THEIR INITIAL SHARES OF THE TARIFF QUOTAS AT DIFFERENT RATES ; WHEREAS TO AVOID DISRUPTION OF SUPPLIES ON THIS ACCOUNT IT SHOULD BE PROVIDED THAT ANY MEMBER STATES WHICH HAS ALMOST USED UP ONE OF ITS INITIAL SHARES SHOULD DRAW AN ADDITIONAL SHARE FROM THE CORRESPONDING RESERVE ; WHEREAS THIS MUST BE DONE BY EACH MEMBER STATE AS AND WHEN EACH OF ITS ADDITIONAL SHARES IS ALMOST ENTIRELY USED UP AND REPEATED AS MANY TIMES AS EACH OF THE RESERVES ALLOWS ; WHEREAS EACH OF THESE INITIAL AND ADDITIONAL SHARES MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR USE UNTIL THE END OF THE QUOTA PERIOD ;

WHEREAS , HOWEVER , IT SEEMS ADVISABLE TO PERMIT THE MEMBER STATES TO LIMIT THE EXERCISE OF THEIR TOTAL OBLIGATION TO DRAW ON THE RESERVE AMOUNT TO AT LEAST 50 % OF THEIR INITIAL SHARE ;

WHEREAS IF , AT A SPECIFIED DATE IN THE QUOTA PERIOD , A CONSIDERABLE BALANCE REMAINS IN ONE OF THE INITIAL SHARES OF ONE OR OTHER MEMBER STATE , IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THAT MEMBER STATE RETURN A PORTION OF IT TO THE CORRESPONDING RESERVE IN ORDER TO PREVENT A PART OF THE COMMUNITY QUOTA FROM REMAINING UNUSED IN ONE MEMBER STATE WHEN IT COULD BE USED IN OTHERS ;

WHEREAS IN THE CASE OF THE COMMUNITY TARIFF CEILING FOR TOBACCO , OTHER THAN VIRGINIA FLUE-CURED TYPE , THE OBJECTIVE PURSUED MAY BE ATTAINED BY APPLYING A METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION BASED ON THE CHARGING , AT COMMUNITY LEVEL , AGAINST THE ABOVEMENTIONED CEILING , OF IMPORTS OF THE PRODUCT CONCERNED AS AND WHEN THAT PRODUCT IS ENTERED FOR FREE CIRCULATION AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY A CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN ; WHEREAS THIS METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION MUST MAKE PROVISION FOR THE REINTRODUCTION OF THE LEVYING OF CUSTOMS DUTIES IN THEIR ENTIRETY AS SOON AS THE SAID CEILING IS REACHED AT COMMUNITY LEVEL ;

WHEREAS SUCH METHODS OF ADMINISTRATION CALL FOR CLOSE AND PARTICULARLY RAPID COOPERATION BETWEEN THE MEMBER STATES AND THE COMMISSION , WHICH MUST , IN PARTICULAR , BE ABLE TO OBSERVE THE EXTENT TO WHICH CHARGES ARE MADE AGAINST THE TARIFF QUOTAS AND CEILING AND INFORM MEMBER STATES THEREOF ; WHEREAS SUCH COOPERATION SHOULD BE PARTICULARLY CLOSE IN VIEW OF THE NEED FOR THE COMMISSION TO BE ABLE TO TAKE APPROPRIATE MEASURES TO REINTRODUCE THE LEVYING OF CUSTOMS DUTIES IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THE CEILING IS REACHED ;

WHEREAS IT IS EXPEDIENT THAT THE COMMUNITY SHOULD AUTHORIZE THE IMPORTATION OF THE PRODUCTS REFERRED TO IN ANNEX II , ORIGINATING IN THE COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES LISTED IN ANNEX III , SUBJECT TO THE CUSTOMS DUTIES GIVEN IN RESPECT OF EACH OF THEM , WITHOUT QUANTITATIVE LIMITATIONS ; WHEREAS THE BENEFIT OF SUCH PREFERENTIAL TERMS SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR PRODUCTS ORIGINATING IN THE COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES UNDER CONSIDERATION , THE CONCEPT OF " ORIGINATING PRODUCTS " BEING DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURE LAID DOWN IN ARTICLE 14 OF COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 802/68 OF 27 JUNE 1968 ON THE COMMON DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF THE ORIGIN OF GOODS ( 7 ) ;

WHEREAS , SINCE THE KINGDOM OF BELGIUM , THE KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS AND THE GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG ARE UNITED WITHIN AND JOINTLY REPRESENTED BY THE BENELUX ECONOMIC UNION , ANY MEASURE CONCERNING THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE SHARES ALLOCATED TO THAT ECONOMIC UNION MAY BE CARRIED OUT BY ANY ONE OF ITS MEMBERS ;
