    Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION amending Regulation (EU) 2021/2283 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products

    COM/2023/263 final

    Brussels, 23.5.2023

    Proposal for a

    COUNCIL REGULATION

    amending Regulation (EU) 2021/2283 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products


    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

    1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

    •Reasons for and objectives of the proposal

    Autonomous tariff quotas of the Union are needed for products whose production in the Union is insufficient to meet the needs of the user industry in the Union for a given quota period. Union tariff quotas should be opened at zero or reduced duty rates for appropriate volumes, without disturbing the markets for such products.

    On 20 December 2021, the Council of the European Union adopted Regulation (EU) 2021/2283 1  opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products so that Union demand for the products in question could be met under the most favourable conditions.

    The Regulation is updated every six months to accommodate the needs of Union industry.

    The Commission, assisted by the Economic Tariff Questions Group (“ETQG”), has reviewed all requests from the Member States for autonomous tariff quotas duties.

    Following this review, the Commission considers that the opening of autonomous tariff quotas is justified for some new products, currently not listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EU) 2021/2283.. Products for which a tariff quota is no longer in the Union's economic interest should be withdrawn.

    For reasons of clarity it is advisable to publish a consolidated version of the Annex to Council Regulation (EU) 2021/2283, which will fully replace the previous Annex.

    •Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area

    This proposal does not affect countries that have a preferential trading agreement with the Union nor candidate countries or potential candidates for preferential agreements with the Union (e.g. Generalised System of Preferences; the African, Caribbean and Pacific group trade regime; Free Trade Agreements).

    •Consistency with other Union policies

    The proposal is in line with Union policies on agriculture, trade, enterprise, development, environment, and external relations.

    2.LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY

    •Legal basis

    The legal basis of this proposal is Article 31 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).

    •Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)

    The proposal falls under the Union's exclusive competence. The subsidiarity principle therefore does not apply.

    •Proportionality

    The proposal complies with the principle of proportionality. The measures envisaged are in line with the principles for simplifying procedures for operators engaged in foreign trade, as stated in the Commission communication concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas 2 . This Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives pursued in accordance with Article 5(4) of the Treaty on European Union (TEU).

    •Choice of the instrument

    By virtue of Article 31 of the TFEU, "Common Customs Tariff duties shall be fixed by the Council on a proposal from the Commission". Therefore, a Council regulation is the appropriate instrument.

    3.RESULTS OF EX-POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS

    •Ex-post evaluations/fitness checks of existing legislation

    The autonomous tariff quotas scheme was part of an evaluation study carried out in 2013 on autonomous tariff suspensions 3 .

    This is because the two measures are similar, except that autonomous tariff quotas limit import volumes, while autonomous tariff suspensions permit the total or partial waiver of the normal duties applicable to certain goods imported to the EU for an unlimited quantity. The evaluation concluded that the core rationale for the scheme remains valid. The cost savings for Union businesses importing goods under the scheme can be significant. In turn, depending on the product, company and sector, these savings can have wider benefits, such as boosting competitiveness, making production methods more efficient, and creating or keeping jobs in the Union. Details of the savings of this regulation can be found in point 4 and in the attached legislative financial statement.

    •Stakeholder consultations

    The Economic Tariff Questions Group, which consists of delegations from all Member States plus Türkiye, assisted the Commission in the preparation of this proposal.

    The ETQG carefully assessed each request (new, or for an amendment). It particularly examined each case to ensure that it was not causing any harm to Union producers and was strengthening and consolidating the competitiveness of Union's production. The members of the ETQG carried out the assessment through discussions, and Member States consulted the concerned industries, associations, chambers of commerce and other stakeholders involved.

    All listed tariff quotas were the subject of agreements or compromises reached in the discussions held at the ETQG. No potentially serious risks with irreversible consequences was identified.

    •Impact assessment

    The proposed amendment is of a purely technical nature and concerns only the coverage of tariff quotas listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 2021/2283. An impact assessment was not carried out because the proposed changes in the list of products that would benefit from the autonomous Common Customs Tariff quotas are not expected to have significant impacts.

    •Fundamental rights

    The proposal has no consequences on fundamental rights.

    4.BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS

    This proposal has no financial impact on expenditure, but has a financial impact on revenue. Uncollected customs duties total approximately EUR 2 726 000 per year. The effect on the traditional own resources of the budget is EUR 2 004 500 per year (i.e. 75 % of the total). The legislative financial statement sets out the budgetary implications of the proposal in greater detail.

    The loss of revenue in traditional own resources shall be compensated by Member States Gross National Income (GNI) based on resource contributions.

    5.OTHER ELEMENTS

    •Implementation plans and monitoring, evaluation and reporting arrangements

    The proposed measures are managed within the framework of the Integrated Tariff of the European Union “TARIC” (they are integrated in TARIC and managed by the QUOTA database) and applied by the Member States’ customs administrations.

    2023/0159 (NLE)

    Proposal for a

    COUNCIL REGULATION

    amending Regulation (EU) 2021/2283 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products

    THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

    Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,

    Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

    Whereas:

    (1)In order to ensure a sufficient and uninterrupted supply of certain agricultural and industrial products which are produced in insufficient quantities in the Union and thereby avoid any disturbances on the market for those products, autonomous tariff quotas were opened by Council Regulation (EU) 2021/2283 4 . Within those tariff quotas, products can be imported into the Union at reduced or zero duty rates.

    (2)As it is in the Union's interest to ensure an adequate supply of certain industrial products, and having regard to the fact that identical, equivalent or substitute products are not produced in sufficient quantities within the Union, it is necessary to open new autonomous tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2561, 09.2562 and 09.2857 at zero duty rates for appropriate quantities of those products.

    (3)As it is no longer in the Union's interest to maintain the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2581 and 09.2672, they should be closed.

    (4)Regulation (EU) 2021/2283 should therefore be amended accordingly.

    (5)In order to avoid any interruption in the application of the tariff quota scheme and to comply with the guidelines set out in the Communication from the Commission of 13 December 2011 concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas 5 , the changes provided for in this Regulation regarding the tariff quotas for the products concerned should apply from 1 July 2023. This Regulation should therefore enter into force as a matter of urgency,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

    Article 1

    The Annex to Regulation (EU) 2021/2283 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

    Article 2

    This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

    It shall apply from 1 July 2023.

    This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

    Done at Brussels,

       For the Council

       The President

    -2

    The annex contains one new product. The uncollected duties corresponding to these tariff quotas, calculated on the basis of requesting Member State projections for 2023, amount to EUR 2 726 000 per year.

    On the basis of the above, the negative impact on revenue for the EU budget resulting from this Regulation is estimated at EUR 2 726 000 (gross amount, including collection costs) x 0,75 = EUR 2 004 500  per year (net amount).

    4.ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES

    Checks on the end-use of some of the products covered by this Council Regulation will be carried out in accordance with Article 254 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013.

    In addition, Member States may carry out any customs controls they deem appropriate under the risk management they undertake, as provided for by Article 46 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code.
