  PURPOSE: to conclude an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and New Zealand pursuant to Article XXIV: 6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions in the schedules of Bulgaria and Romania in the course of their accession to the European Union. PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. BACKGROUND: with the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, the European Union enlarged its customs union. Consequently, the European Union was obliged under WTO rules (GATT Article XXIV:6) to enter into negotiations with WTO Members having negotiating rights in the schedules of any of the acceding Members in order to agree on compensatory adjustment. Such adjustment is due if the adoption of the EU's external tariff regime results in an increase in tariff beyond the level for which the acceding country has bound itself at the WTO, whilst taking 'due account of reductions of duties on the same tariff line made by other constituents of the customs union upon its formation'.

In parallel, a separate proposal on the signature of this Agreement is also submitted.

activities/0/docs/0/text/0	changed	Old OBJECTIF: conclure un accord sous forme d'échange de lettres entre l'UE et la Nouvelle-Zélande au titre du GATT de 1994 concernant la modification de concessions dans les listes d'engagements de la Bulgarie et de la Roumanie, dans le cadre de leur adhésion à l'Union européenne. ACTE PROPOSÉ : Décision du Conseil. CONTEXTE : avec l'adhésion de la Bulgarie et de la Roumanie, l'Union européenne a élargi son union douanière. Par conséquent, l'Union européenne était tenue, selon les règles de l'OMC (article XXIV, paragraphe 6, du GATT) d'ouvrir des négociations avec les membres de l'OMC ayant des droits de négociation dans les listes d'un des pays adhérents afin de convenir d'une compensation. Il est maintenant nécessaire de prévoir une telle compensation si l'adoption du régime tarifaire extérieur de l'UE entraîne une augmentation des droits au delà du niveau pour lequel le pays adhérent s'est engagé dans le cadre de l'OMC, tout en tenant «dûment compte des réductions de droits de douane sur la même ligne tarifaire faites par d'autres entités constitutives de l'union douanière lors de l'établissement de cette union». Le 29 janvier 2007, le Conseil a autorisé la Commission à ouvrir de telles négociations au titre de l'article XXIV, paragraphe 6, du GATT de 1994. La Commission a négocié, avec les membres de l'OMC détenant des droits de négociation, la question du retrait de concessions spécifiques lié au retrait des listes d'engagements de la Bulgarie et de la Roumanie, dans le cadre de leur adhésion à l'Union européenne. Les négociations avec la Nouvelle-Zélande ont abouti à un projet d'accord sous forme d'échange de lettres qui a été paraphé à Bruxelles le 7 septembre 2010. ANALYSE D'IMPACT : aucune analyse d'impact n'a été réalisée. BASE JURIDIQUE : article 207, par. 4, premier alinéa, en liaison avec article 218, par. 6, point a) v) du traité sur l'Union européenne (TFUE). CONTENU : avec la présente proposition, le Conseil est invité à adopter la décision relative à la conclusion d'un accord sous forme d'échange de lettres avec la Nouvelle-Zélande. Une proposition distincte relative à la signature de cet accord est soumise en parallèle. Le règlement d'application sera adopté par la Commission conformément à l'article 144 du règlement relatif à l'organisation commune des marchés (OCM) unique. INCIDENCE BUDGÉTAIRE : la proposition n'a pas d'incidence sur le budget de l'UE. New PURPOSE: to conclude an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and New Zealand pursuant to Article XXIV: 6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions in the schedules of Bulgaria and Romania in the course of their accession to the European Union.

CONTENT: this proposal asks the Council to adopt a decision concluding the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters with New Zealand. In parallel, a separate proposal on the signature of this Agreement is also submitted. The implementing Regulation will consequently be adopted by the Commission, pursuant to Article 144 of the Single Common Market Organisation (CMO) Regulation.

ACTE PROPOSÉ : Décision du Conseil. CONTEXTE : avec l'adhésion de la Bulgarie et de la Roumanie, l'Union européenne a élargi son union douanière. Par conséquent, l'Union européenne était tenue, selon les règles de l'OMC (article XXIV, paragraphe 6, du GATT) d'ouvrir des négociations avec les membres de l'OMC ayant des droits de négociation dans les listes d'un des pays adhérents afin de convenir d'une compensation. Il est maintenant nécessaire de prévoir une telle compensation si l'adoption du régime tarifaire extérieur de l'UE entraîne une augmentation des droits au delà du niveau pour lequel le pays adhérent s'est engagé dans le cadre de l'OMC, tout en tenant «dûment compte des réductions de droits de douane sur la même ligne tarifaire faites par d'autres entités constitutives de l'union douanière lors de l'établissement de cette union». Le 29 janvier 2007, le Conseil a autorisé la Commission à ouvrir de telles négociations au titre de l'article XXIV, paragraphe 6, du GATT de 1994. La Commission a négocié, avec les membres de l'OMC détenant des droits de négociation, la question du retrait de concessions spécifiques lié au retrait des listes d'engagements de la Bulgarie et de la Roumanie, dans le cadre de leur adhésion à l'Union européenne. Les négociations avec la Nouvelle-Zélande ont abouti à un projet d'accord sous forme d'échange de lettres qui a été paraphé à Bruxelles le 7 septembre 2010. ANALYSE D'IMPACT : aucune analyse d'impact n'a été réalisée. BASE JURIDIQUE : article 207, par. 4, premier alinéa, en liaison avec article 218, par. 6, point a) v) du traité sur l'Union européenne (TFUE). CONTENU : avec la présente proposition, le Conseil est invité à adopter la décision relative à la conclusion d'un accord sous forme d'échange de lettres avec la Nouvelle-Zélande. Une proposition distincte relative à la signature de cet accord est soumise en parallèle.

PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. BACKGROUND: with the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, the European Union enlarged its customs union. Consequently, the European Union was obliged under WTO rules (GATT Article XXIV:6) to enter into negotiations with WTO Members having negotiating rights in the schedules of any of the acceding Members in order to agree on compensatory adjustment. Such adjustment is due if the adoption of the EU's external tariff regime results in an increase in tariff beyond the level for which the acceding country has bound itself at the WTO, whilst taking 'due account of reductions of duties on the same tariff line made by other constituents of the customs union upon its formation'. On 29 January 2007, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations under Article XXIV:6 of GATT 1994. The Commission has negotiated with the Members of the WTO holding negotiating rights with respect to the withdrawal of specific concessions in relation to the withdrawal of the schedules of Bulgaria and Romania, in the course of their accession to the European Union. Negotiations with New Zealand resulted in a draft Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters that was initialled on 7 September 2010 in Brussels. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASIS: Article 207(4), first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(6)(a)(v) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). CONTENT: this proposal asks the Council to adopt a decision concluding the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters with New Zealand. In parallel, a separate proposal on the signature of this Agreement is also submitted. The implementing Regulation will consequently be adopted by the Commission, pursuant to Article 144 of the Single Common Market Organisation (CMO) Regulation.

PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. BACKGROUND: with the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, the European Union enlarged its customs union. Consequently, the European Union was obliged under WTO rules (GATT Article XXIV:6) to enter into negotiations with WTO Members having negotiating rights in the schedules of any of the acceding Members in order to agree on compensatory adjustment. Such adjustment is due if the adoption of the EU's external tariff regime results in an increase in tariff beyond the level for which the acceding country has bound itself at the WTO, whilst taking 'due account of reductions of duties on the same tariff line made by other constituents of the customs union upon its formation'. On 29 January 2007, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations under Article XXIV:6 of GATT 1994. The Commission has negotiated with the Members of the WTO holding negotiating rights with respect to the withdrawal of specific concessions in relation to the withdrawal of the schedules of Bulgaria and Romania, in the course of their accession to the European Union. Negotiations with New Zealand resulted in a draft Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters that was initialled on 7 September 2010 in Brussels. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASIS: Article 207(4), first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(6)(a)(v) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). CONTENT: this proposal asks the Council to adopt a decision concluding the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters with New Zealand. In parallel, a separate proposal on the signature of this Agreement is also submitted. The implementing Regulation will consequently be adopted by the Commission, pursuant to Article 144 of the Single Common Market Organisation (CMO) Regulation. BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: this proposal has no implications on the EU budget. celexid CELEX:52011PC0058:EN type Initial legislative proposal published title COM(2011)0058 type Initial legislative proposal body EC commission DG Trade Commissioner DE GUCHT Karel date 2011-03-28 docs url http://register.consilium.europa.eu/servlet/driver?page=Result&lang=EN&typ=Advanced&cmsid=639&ff_COTE_DOCUMENT=6536%2F11&fc=REGAISEN&srm=25&md=100 text PURPOSE: to conclude an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and New Zealand pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions in the schedules of Bulgaria and Romania in the course of their accession to the European Union.
