 ---pagebreak---                                                               AHHEX I
                    Report on -the negotiations
1* By communications dated 5 » 12 and 21 Ootober 1978 (GATT/Secret/249 »
250 and 251 ), the US Government notified the Contracting Parties of its
intention to modify undertakings entered into "by virtue of the General
Agreement , using the Artiole XXVIIl(l ) procedure; the notification
concerned a large number of tariff headings. The aia of the negotiations
requested by the USA was to convert a number of specifio or mixed duties
into ad valorem duties*
2. The Community claimed negotiating rights ia respect of all tariff
headings in which it had an interest as direct benefioiary, principal
supplier or substantial supplier within the meaning of Article XXVIII.
3 . In order to establish the oanverted rates and assess injury, the
US Government proposed a three-year reference period covering 1975 »
1976 and 1977* On the basis of precedent , the Commission pointed out
that the reference period should take acoount of the most reoent
statistics available , i.e. those for 1978* Although the USA has never
formally endorsed the Community argument , in nearly every case the
compensation offered was based on a reference period oovering 1976 , 1977
and 1978.
                       4
4* In the majority of cases , converting speoifio or mixed duties into
ad valorem duties would have resulted in increased duties from
1 January 1980 , basing the calculations on the most reoent reference
period, sinoe on the whole the prioes of Community products over that
period were higher than the average US import prioes* For this reason
                                                                 »
the Commission negotiators were able to win approval for the argument
that the inoidenoe of speoifio duties should not be assessed in aggregate
an total imports , but bilaterally, on imports from the Cammonity alone ,
to reflect structural and price differences between the Community and
its other trading partners*
 ---pagebreak--- 5 * With regard to compensatory adjustments , the Commission negotiators
tnus argued, that the rates converted as of 1 January 1980 should not
exceed the bilateral Community ad valorem mean* This prompted a request
by the Community for a cut in the base rates and a faster tariff cuts
schedule after 1 January 1980. The USA agreed to the request , even
for a number of oases where it had made partial exceptions in its MTMs
offer , but with the exception of ball bearings . At a meeting an
4 May 1979 1 the Artiole 113 Committee found that the compensatory
adjustments offered constituted a satisfactory basis an which to reach
agreement with the USA.
6 . With regard to ball bearings , the USA maintained throughout the
negotiations that no compensation was owing to the Community since the
conversion would eliminate not only specific duties , but also the final
list system , a method of customs valuation used in the USA whioh had
the effeot of increasing duties on bearings from the Community. According
to the USA , the bilateral ad valorem average on the basis of these two
elements was higher than the conversion rate it had proposed. The
Commission negotiators rejected this argument , pointing out that the
abolition of the final list system had already been dealt with in the
separate , balanced set of negotiations on the customs valuation code.
In the end the USA agreed to a C omission request for a half-point tariff
cut on TSUS headings 664.05*50 (baclchold shovels ) and 664.05*35
( front loaders ),, plus a reduction from 4.2$ to 2.4% on heading 668.20.35
( offset printing presses ).
7 . With regard to beer, the USA proposed that the speoifio duty should
not be converted into an ad valorem duty provided the Community would
agree to permit beer in 0.35 1 containers to circulate in intra-Community
trade. The Artiole 113 Committee , the Working Party on Econamio          \
Questions and the Permanent Representatives Committee, at its meeting
                                                                     /

                         Report on the negotiations
1 . By a communication ( GATT/Seoret/250) dated 12 October 1 978» "the USA
 indicated its desire to open negotiations with a view to withdrawing all
their tariff concessions on oeramio dinnerware ( TSUS headings 333*11 to
333*77 ) under Article XXVIIl(l ) of the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade .
2.   The withdrawal of the US concessions on dinnerware took plaoe while
the Multilateral Trade Negotiations were still going on.       The offer of
compensatory adjustments submitted at the end of October 1978 reflected
a certain amount of restructuring of the US tariff in this sector, and
inoluded both higher -duties on certain products , in ..particular dinnerware
for hotels , and concessions within the framework of the trade
negotiations .
In this sector the USA has also converted mixed duties on about twenty
of the products involved de facto by expressing its offer entirely in
terms of ad valorem duties .
3*   In October 1978 the USA, pursuant to its Trade Act , and taking into
account its desire to Bubmit an offer for the whole sector, had not yet
offered any concessions on these products , some of which had been
subject to safeguard measures which were repealed by the President
only in the course of that same month.     However, t&ile the offer on
ceramic dinnerware was being prepared there had been contacts with the
US Administration to make known the Community view on these products.
4.   For that reason, the Community's requests in these negotiations
concerned only a limited number of points :
   \
                     \
                       \
 ---pagebreak---     ( i ) request for an improved offer on hotel dinnerware ( 53320 and
          53352 ); the 35$ offer meant higher duties;
  ( ii ) inclusion of baby porringers and tea pots under "soups, oatmeals
          and cereals'* and "beverage servers" respectively ( 533-37 )t
( iii ) request for an offer 6n salt and pepper shaker sets, oil and
          vinegar sets and egg cups ( inolusion in 533*76 at 9^ instead
          of 26% of earthenware or ohina other than bone china;
  ( iv) request for the creation of a subheading plus ah offer for products
          the same as those falling within 533*76 ( candy boxes, bonbon dishes,
          eto .) but of pottery.
5 * The USA acoepted all the requests^ except that for hotel dinnerware,
of which the Community exports very little .       The Article 113 Committee
was kept up to date with the progress of the negotiations , and oame to
the conclusion that overall the US offer, modified as indioated, was
an acceptable basis for settlement .
6. The renegotiation agreement ( GATT/Seoret /250/Add. 2 of 30 July 1979)
was initialled on 12 July 1979 *       The Commission aooordingly proposes
that the renegotiations Nith the US Government be oonoluded.
  See offer ( Annex II) and letters from the US Delegation ( Annex V ).

listed in parts 3 and 4 of the Schedule (woveQ fabrics and fabrics of
special construction or for special purposes ) would be treated as wool
textiles , having wool as the main Component , even where the main
component in value terms was some other textile fibre .         The effect of
note ( 7 ) was to make certain fabrics which had previously been regarded
as being of cotton , silk , etc. t subject to the duties applying to wool
fabrios , which were generally higher.       However , note ( 71 did not apply to
silk fabrics , containing over 17% of wool by weight , of the jacquard
type , falling within TSUS heading 337 • 50.                        .
3. By virtue of the same piece of legislation , a duty of 37 • 5 cents per lb
was added to the 32# ad valorem duty for TSUS headings 355.70 , 356.30 and
359.30 .
4. Despite repeated Commission efforts since 1968 , the USA             never
gone back on this deoision , or even agreed to offer any compensation.
It was only during the Article XXVIIl(l ) negotiations ( see Annex I ) that
it finally agreed to settle this longstanding dispute .          Although the USA
 ---pagebreak---                                   - 2 -
refused to offer any further cuts on wool-blend, textiles other than to
those conoeded under the MTNs , it was prepared to offer a further one–point
reduction on silk-blend fabrics falling within TSUS headings
337*20 and 337*40 .  The Community called for a speeding-up of the
tariff reductions for these two headings , and the USA in the end
agreed that the final 5$ rate would be applied from 1 January 1983 .
The Article 113 Committee found that these compensatory adjustments were
a satisfactory basis on which to reach agreement with the USA .   The
compensatory concessions offered by the USA on fabrics containing wool
are listed in Annex VII .
