                        Bericht iibe r die Verhandl ungsergebnisse
1 . Die Regierung der Vereinigten Staaten hat durch Mitteilungen vom
5 ., 12 . und 21 . Oktober 197° ( Dokument GATT/Secret/2^9i 250 und 251 )
don '»EKTKAGSPAKTEIEIi ihre Absicht notifiziert , die vertraglichen Ver
pflichtungen im Rahmen des Allgemeinen Abkommens durch Inanspruch
nahme des Artikels XXVIII Absatz 1 zu ändern ; diese Notifizierung
betraf eine sehr große Anzahl von Tarifstellen . Zweck der von den
Vereinigten Staaten beantragten Verhandlungen war die Ersetzung be-
stirnter spezifischer Zölle' oder Kischzölle durch Wertzölle .
2 . Die Gemeinschaft hat Verhandlungsrechte für alle Tarifstellen gel
tend gemacht , bei denen sie im Sinne des Artikels XXVIII die Vertrags
partei , rrit der das Zugeständnis ursprünglich vereinbart wurde , oder
der Hauptlieferant ist beziehungsweise ein wesentliches Interesse an
dem Zugeständnis hat .
3 . Tür die Festsetzung der umgewandelten Zollsätze und die Bewertung
der Schädigung hatte die amerikanische Regierung einen dreijährigen
iezugszeitraurr. vorgeschlagen , der die Jahre 1975 » 1976 und 1977 urr.-

                                 hptten aie Dienststellen der Kommission gel
                                                                                .
tend gemacht , daß jeweils die für den jüngsten Zeitraum verfügbaren
Statistiken zugrunde gelegt werden müs'sten , das heißt in diesem Falle
auch die Statistiken des Jahres 197Ö . Die Vereinigten Staaten haben
sich den: Standpunkt der Gemeinschaft zwar nicht formell engeschlossen ,
haben jedoch in nahezu allen Fällen einen Ausgleich unter Zugrunde-
legung eines Bezugszeitraums angeboten , der die Jahre 1976 , 1977 und
197Ö umfasst .
    Die Umwandlung der spezifischen Zölle oder Kischzölle in Wertzölle
hätte unter Zugrundelegung des jüngsten Bezugszeitraums in den aller
meisten r allen zu einer Erhöhung der Zollsätze ab 1 . Januar 1980 ge
führt ; der Grund liegt darin , daß im allgemeinen die Preise der Ge-
meinschaftswaren in diesem Zeitraum höher waren als der Durchschnitt
der Einfuhrpreise in den Vereinigten Staaten . Die Dienststellen der
Kommission haben daher mit Erfolg die These vertreten , daß die Inzi-
denz der spezifischen Zölle nicht global - für die Gesamteinfuhren , son
dern bilateral unter Zugrundelegung der Einfuhren aus der Gemeinschaft
bewertet werden muß , damit die Struktur- und Preisunterschiede zwiockc :

5 . Irr Zusammenhang mit dem Ausgleich haben sich die Dienststellen
der Kommission also rr.it Nachdruck dafür eingesetzt , daß die umgewan
delten Sätze ab 1 . Januar 1980 nicht höher liegen eis das bilaterale
Kittel ad valorem der Gemeinschaft für jede Tarifstelle . Die EWG
hat dementsprechend einen Antrag auf Verringerung der Ausgangszoll-
sä'tze sowie auf Beschleunigung der Senkung der Sollsätze ab 1 . Januar
1980 gestellt , dem von den Vereinigten Staaten sogar in einigen der
Frille stattgegeben wurde , in denen sie teilweise Ausnahmen von ihrem
Anrebot irr. Kehren der Uandclsverhandlün.ren gemacht hatten ; ausge
klammert wurden allerdings die Kugellager . Der besondere Ausschuß
rech Artikel 113 hat auf seiner Sitzung vom k . Kai 1979 beschlossen ,
daß der gebotene Ausgleich eine annehmbare Grundlage für eine Einigung
mit den Vereinigten Staaten bildet .
6 . Im Falle der Kugellager heben die Vereinigten Staaten im gesarten
Verlauf der Verhandlungen den Standpunkt vertreten , daß der Gemein
schaft Ifein Ausgleich zusteht , weil durch die Umwandlung nicht nur
                                       I»
nie spezifischen Zölle beseitigt wurden , sondern . auch die in den Ver
einigten Staaten praktizierte " final list"-Kethode der Zollwerterrritt-
lung , die sich in einer Erhöhung der Zölle für Kugellager aus der Ge
meinschaft auswirkte . Unter Berücksichtigung dieser beiden Faktoren
ist das bilaterale Mittel ad valorem nach Ansicht der Vereinigten
Staaten höher als der von ihnen vorgeschlagene ümwandlüngssetz . Die
Dienststellen der Kommission haben diese amerikanische These mit der
Begründung zurückgewiesen , daß die Beseitigung der " final list "-
Kethode bereits Gegenstand einer ausgewogenen Verhandlung im Rahmen
des Zollwertkodex war . Schließlich hat die Kommission beantragt ,
daß die Vereinigten Staaten eine Zollsenkung um einen halben Punkt
für die amerikanischen Tarifstellen 664.05.50 ( backhold shovels ) und
6C4.05.35 ( front loaders ) ( von 2,5f-' auf 25t ) sowie eine Senkung von
4,2;: auf 2 , ;f5J für die Tarifstelle 668.20.35 ( offset printing presses )
anbieten , was      von den Vereinigten Staaten akzeptiert wurde .
7 . Die Vereinigten Staaten haben angeboten , den spezifischen Zoll
auf üicr nicht in einen V/ ertzoll umzuwandeln , sofern sich die Ge
meinschaft ihrerseits bereiterklärt , Bier aus den Vereinigten Staaten

die Gruppe V/irtechoftsfrcRen und - euf seiner Tacung vom 15 » Juni
1979 - der Ausschuß der Standigen Vertreter heben sich mit diesem
Problem befaßt .; Der Ausschuß hat in Betrocht gezogen , Bier in Be
hältnissen mit pinem Tnhalt von 0,35 Liter bis 1988 vorläufig zu

8 . Des in Anlege II wiedergegebene Abkommen wurde am 26 . Juni 1979
paraphiert .
             Unter diesen Umstanden schlägt die Kommission vor , die
Verhandlungen mit der Regierung der Vereinigten Staaten abzuschließen .

1 . Die Vereinigten Staaten haben in einer Mitteilung vom 12 . Oktober
      1978 ( Dok . GATT/Secret/250 ) den Wunsch zun Ausdruck gebracht , Ver
      handlungen. nach Artikel XXVI^I des Allgemeinen Zoll - .und. Handels
      abkommens über die Zurücknahme aller ihrer . Zollzugeständnisse für
      keramisches Geschirr .( Tankstellen 533 « 11 bis* 533*77 des amerika

2 . Diese Zurücknahme der amerikanischen Zugeständnisse für Geschirr
      erfolgte während der multilateralen Handelsverhandlungen * Der Ende
      Oktober 1978 angebotene Ausgleich zeigte, dalä gewisse Umstruktu
      rierungen des amerikanischen Zolltarifs für diesen Sektor vorgenom-
      Ben worden waren , und umfaßte Erhöhungen bestimmter Zölle , nament
      lich für Ilotelgeschirr , sowie Zugeständnisse %äni Rahmen der Handels-
      verharölungen . Außerdem haben die . -. Vereinigten,'' Staaten in diesem
      Sektor de facto eine Umwandlung der Kischzöll^ auf rund 20 Waren
      vorgenommen , in dem ihr Angebot ausschließlich in Wertzöllen aus
      gedrückt ist .                                                      ,v
3 » In Anwendung des Trade Act und fin dem Bestreben , ein Angebot für
      den gesamten Sektor zu unterbreiten * hatten die Vereinigten Staaten
      im Oktober 1973 noch keine Zugeständnisse - angeboten , weil für die
      betreffenden l'aren teilweise Schutzmaßnahmen "galten ,- die der Präsi
      dent der Vereinigte!! Staaten erst im Oktober 1978 aufhob . Immer
      hin hatte es bereits während der Ausarbeitung des Angebots für
      keramisches Geschirr Kontakte zu der amerikanischen Regierung ge
      geben , in denen der Standpunkt' der Gemeinschaft für diesen Sektor
      mitgeteilt wurde . -
k . Daher beschränken sich die Anträge der Gemeinschaft in diesen Ver
      handlungen auf wenige -Punkte :, ;

 ---pagebreak--- - Antrag auf Verbesserung des Angebots für Eotelgeschirr ( 533.20
    und 533-52 ), das mit 35/v eine Erhöhung der Zölle bedeutet :
- Einbeziehung von "baby porringers " und " l^ea pots " in die Kate-      »
    gorien " soups , oatmeals and cereals " und "beverage servers "
    ( 533.37 );                  , . , •'
- Beantragung eines Angebots für " seit and pepper shaker sets ",
    " oil and vinegar sets " und " egg cups " ( Einbeziehung in 533*76 mit
    9'X statt 26?U ) aus anderem Porzellan als aus Knochenporzellan oder
    Fayence ;
- Antrag auf Schaffung einer Tarifstelle mit einem Angebot für die
    gleichen Waren wie 533.76 ( candy boxes , bonbon dishes usw .), je
    doch aus gewöhnlichem Ton .
                                                                (   '
5 . Diesen Anträgen wurde entsprochen ( 1 ), außer bei Hotelgeschirr ,
      bei dem die Gemeinschaftsausfuhren sehr gering waren . Der Ausschuß
      nach Artikel .113 ist regelmäßig über diese Verhandlungen unterrich
      tet worden und hat die Auffassung vertreten , daß das amerikanische
      Angebot mit den genannten Änderungen global eine akzeptable Rege
     lung für diese Verhandlungen darstellt .
6 . Das Abkommen ( Dokument GATT/Secret/250/Add 2 vom 30 » Juli 1979 )
      wurde am 12 . Juli 1979 paraphiert . Unter diesen Umständen schlägt
      die Kommission vor , die Verhandlungen mit der Regierung der Vereinig
      ten Staaten abzuschließen . .

                     Bericht über die Verhandlungsergebnisse
 1 . Die Regierung der Vereinigten Staaten hat durch eine Mitteilung
     von 5 . Oktober 1978 ( Dok. GATT/Secre t/11?) den Vertragsparteien
     ihre Absicht notifiziert , die vertraglichen - Verpflichtungen im
     Sahnen des Allgemeinen Abkommens im Falle der wollhaltigen Textil-
     waren durch Inanspruchnahme des Artikels XXVIII Absatz 1 zu ändern .
     Es handelt sich dabei um die- Regularisierung einer amerikanischen
                                             τ  .
     Gesetzesmaßnahme aus dem Jahr "196p »         /
2 . Die Vereinigten Staaten hatten mit 'Wirkung vom 2^. Dezember 1968
     die' Vorschriften des Abschnitts 3 des amerikanischen Zolltarifs
     ( Spinnstoffe und Waren daraus )      durch eine Vorschrift 7 ergänzt .
     Ger.äß dieser Vorschrift sind die in den Teilen 3 und k dieses
     Abschnitts aufgeführten Geyebe ( woven fabriqs and fabrics of special
     conctruction orfor special purposesO als Gewebe aus Wolle anzusehen ,
     venn die Wolle dem Gewicht ; na^h ihr Hauptbestandteil ist , auch
     wenn dem Wert Sech ein anderer1 Spinnstoff der Hauptbestendteil ist .
     Die neue Vorschrift 7 hat eur . .rolge , daß für bestimmte Gewebe , die
     zuvor als Gewebe aus Baumwolle , aus Seide usw . angesehen wurden ,
     die für Gewebe aus Wolle geltenden- Zollsätze anwendbar sind , die
     im allgemeinen höher liegen . Die Vorschrift 7 gslt allerdings nicht
     für Gewebe aus Sedde v mit einem Wollgehalt von mehr als 17 Gewichts-
     hunderteil der Art "Jacquard " der TSUS-Position 337.50 .
3 . Hit derselben Gesetzesmaßnahme war für die drei TSUS-Positioner.
     555.70 , 356.30 und 359-30 ein Loll von 37 »5 Cent je " pound " zu
     sätzlich zu dem Wertzoll von 32% eingeführt worden .
'T . Trotz verschiedener Demarchen seitens der iCömmission sind die
     Vereinigten Staaten seit 1968 weder zu einer Änderung dieser Ent
     scheidung noch zur Gewährung eines Ausgleichs bereit gewesen .
     Erst im Kähmen der Verhandlungen gemäß Artikel XXVIII Absatz 1
     ( siehe / nlage I ) haben, sich , die Vereinigter. Staaten schließlich
     bereitgefunden , diesen langjährigen Streit beizulegen .
 ---pagebreak--- Die Vereinigten Staaten haben es zwar abgelehnt , zusätzlich zu der
irr, Rahir.er. der multilateralen Ilandelsverhandlungen gewährten Senkung
für wollhaltige Textilwaren eine weitere Senkung anzubieten , waren
jedoch bereit , für Mischgewebe aus Seide der TSUS-Positionen 337 « 2C
und 337.^0 eine zusätzliche Senkung -um einen Punkt zu gewähren . Die
iWG hat ihrerseits eine Beschleunigung der Zollsenkung für diese
beiden Positionen beantragt ; dieser. Antrag ist schließlich Von der
Vereinigten Staaten in der Form stattgegeben worden , daß der end
gültige Zollsatz von 5/- für diese beiden Positionen des amerikanisch
Zolltarifs bereits ab 1 . Januar i 98 3 anwendbar ist . Der besondere
Ausschuß nach Artikel 113 ist zu der Auffassung gelangt , daß dieser
Ausgleich eine akzeptable Grundlage für einen , Abschluß der Verhand
lungen mit den Vereinigten Staaten darstellt . Die von den Vereinig
ten Straten als Ausgleich angebotenen Zugeständnisse für wollhaltige
Gewebe sind in Anlage VII aufgeführt .
