               Rapport sur les résultats des renégociations
 1.   Par des communications en date du 5 / 12 et 21 octobre 1978 respectivement
 ( documents GATT / Secret /249 , 250 et 251 ) le gouvernement des Etats-Unis a
notifié aux Parties Contractantes son intention de modifier les engagements
 contractés dans le cadre de l' Accord Général eO ayant recours aux dispositions
de l' Article XXVIII 2 1 ; cette notification portait sur un nombre très élevé
de positions tarifaires . Les renégociations que les Etats-Unis ont cherchées
ont eu pour but le remplacement de certains droits spécifiques ou mixtes en
taux ad valorem .
2.    La Communauté a fait valoir des droits de négociation pour toutes les posi
tions tarifaires où elle a des intérêts de bénéficiaire direct , de premier four
nisseur et de fournisseur substantiel au sens de l' article XXVIII .
                                                   \
3.    Pour établir les taux convertis et l' évaluation du préjudice , le gouverne
ment américain avait proposé une période de référence triennale portant sur les
années 1975 , 1976 et 1977 .      S 'appuyant sur les précédents , les services de la
Commission ont fait valoir que les statistiques à prendre en considération
devraient être les statistiques disponibles pendant la période la plus récente ,
c'est - à -dire y compris celles de l' année 1978 .     Bien que les Etats-Unis ne se
soient pas ralliés formellement au point de vue de la Communauté , ils nous ont
offert dans la quasi-totalité des cas des compensations en se basant sur une
période de référence portant sur les années 1976 , 1977 et 1978 .
4.    Une reconversion de droits spécifiques ou mixtes en droits ad valorem
aurait entrainé dans la grande majorité des cas             une augmentation de
droits à partir du 1er janvier 1980 , calculéesur         base de la période de réfé
rence la plus récente , la raison étant qu' en général les prix des produits com
munautaires ont été , pendant cette période , plus élevés que la moyenne des prix
à l' importation aux Etats-Unis .       C' est pourquoi les services de la Commission
ont en outre défendu avec succès la thèse que les incidences des droits spéci
fiques doivent être appréciées , non pas globalement sur l' ensemble des importa
tions , mais bilatéralement sur base des importations en provenance de la Co--
munauté , pour refléter des différences de structure et de prix qui existent
entre la Communauté et ses autres partenaires commerciaux .
 ---pagebreak---  5 . Sur le plan des compensations / les services de la Commission ont donc
 insisté afin que les taux convertis au 1er janvier 1980 ne soient pas plus
 élevés que la moyenne bilatérale ad valorem de la Communauté pour chaque
 position . Ceci a résulté dans une requête de la part de la CEE pour une réduc
 tion des taux de base ainsi qu' une accélération de la réduction des tarifs
 douaniers à partir du 1er janvier 1980 , requête qui a été honorée par les
 Etats-Unis même dans certains cas où les Etats-Unis ont des exceptions par
 tielles dans leur offre NCM , à' l 'exception toutefois des roulements à billes .
 Lors de sa réunion du 4 mai 1979, le Comité spécial de l' article 113 a conclu
 que cet état de compensations constituait une base acceptable pour aboutir
 à un accord avec les Etats-Unisi .
6 . En ce qui concerne les roulements à billes , les Etats-Unis , tout au long
de la renégociation , ont défendu la position qu' aucune compensation n' était
due à la èommunauté du fait que la conversion éliminerait non seulement les
droits spécifiques mais aussi la " final list ", une méthode d' évaluation en
douane pratiquée aux Etats-Unis et ayant pour effet une augmentation de
droits pour les roulements en provenance de la Communauté . La moyenne bila
térale ad valorem , basée sur ces deux éléments , était , selon les Etats-Unis ,
           \             ■    "                 • '
supérieure au taux     converti        que proposaient les Etats-Unis.,    Les ser
vices de la Commission ont réfuté cette thèse américaine en précisant que
l' abolition de la " final list " a déjà fait l' objet d' une négociation équilibrée
en soi dans le cadre du code pour la valeur en douane .       Finalement , la Commis
sion a demandé - et les Etats-Unis ont accepté - d' offrir une réduction tari
faire d' un demi-point pour les positions tarifaires américaines 664.05.50
( backhold shovels ) et 6,64.05.35 ( front loaders ) ( de 2.5% à 2% ) et une réduc
tion de 4.2% à 2.4% pour la position 668 . 20". 35 ( qffset printing presses ).
7 . Sur la bière , les Etats-Unis ont proposé de ne pas reconvertir le droit
spécifique en un droit ad valorem à condition que la Communauté de son côté
accepte l' admission dans le commerce intra-Communautaire de la bière en pro
venance des Etats-Unis dans des emballages de 0.35 l .       Le Comité spécial de
l' article 113 ainsi que le groupe des Questions économiques et , à sa réunion
 ---pagebreak---                                    -3 -
du 15 juin 1979    le Comité des Représentants Permanents , se sont penchés sur
ce problème . Le Comité a préconisé d' admettre le volume de 0.35 l pour la
bière , à titre transitoire, jusqu' en 1988
8 . L' accord de renégociation reproduit en annexe II a été paraphé le 26 juin 1979 ,
                                                      Dans ces conditions , la
Commission prof »ose de conclure les renégociations avec le gouvernement des
Etats-Unis .

             Rapport sur les résultats des négociations
Par une communication en date du 12 octobre :1978 ( document GATT / Secret /250 )
les Etats-Unis ont fait connaître leuf désif d '.engager des négociations
en vue du retrait de toutes leurs concessions tarifaires concernant la
vaisselle en matières céramiques ( positions 533.11 à 533.77 du Tarif
américain ) tu titre des dispositions du paragraphe premier de l' article
XXVIII de l' Accord général sur le tarif douanier et le commerce .
                                        ; v - V ' :
                                             'y        ■' !
Ce retrait américain de concessions sur la vaisselle est intervenu alors
que se déroulaient les négociations commerciales multilatérales .        L' offre
de compensation, présentée fin octobre 1978* traduisait une certaine res
tructuration du tarif américain dans ce secteur et comprenait à la fois
des relèvements de certains droits , notamment sur la vaisselle pour
hôtels , et des concessions au titre des négociations commerciales .
En outre, les Etats-Unis ont procédé dans ce secteur è une conversion
de facto des droits mixtes de la Vingtaine de produits concernés en expri
mant leur offre uniquement sous forme de droits ad valorem .
Les Etats-Unis , en application du Trade Act , et compte tenu de leur
souhait de faire une offre sur l ,'ensemble du secteur , n' avalent , en
octobre 1978 , pas encore offert de concessions dans ce secteur , car une
partie de celui-ci avait été soumis , à des mesures de sauvegarde auxquelles
le Président des Etats-Uni * n' a mis fin qu' en octobre 1978 . Cependant ,
des contacts avaient eu l*eu avec l' administration américaine durant
l 'élaboration de l' offre sur la vaisselle de céramique pour faire con
naître les vues de la Communauté dans ce secteur .               *
C' est pourquoi les demandes de . la Communauté n' ont porté dans cette rené
gociation que sur un nombre limité de points r              .. •
 ---pagebreak---    - demande d' amélioration de l' offre sur la vaisselle pour hôtels
        ( 53320 et 53352 ) dont l' offre à 35% impliquait un relèvement de droits ;
   *■ inclusion des baby porringers et des tea pots , respect ivement dans les
        categories " soups , oatmeals and cereals " and "beverage servers "
        ( 533.37 );                '
   - demande d' une offre sur les sait ard pepper shaker sets ", "oil and
        vinegar sets " et "egg cups " ( inclusion dans le 533.76 è 9% au lieu de '
        26% ) en porcelaine autre que cJ'os ou en faïence ;
   * demande de création d' une sous-position avec une offre peur les irêmes
        produits oue le 533.76 ( car.dy boxes , bonbon dishes ...) mais en poterie .

5.      Ces demandes ont été satisfaites ( 1 ), sauf sur la vaisselle pour hôtels
        où les exportations communautaires étaient très faibles . Le Comité 113 a
        été régulièrement informé de ces négociations et a estimé que globalement
        l' offre américaine , avec tes modifications mentionnées, constituait un
        règlement écceptable pour cette renégociation .
6.      L' accord de renégociation ( document GATTVSecret /250 / Add 2 du 30 juillet
        1979 ) a été paraphé le 12 juillet 1979 .   Dans ces conditions , la Commis
        sion propose de conclure les renégociations a\/ec le gouvernement des
        Etats-Unis . •                               -c .

     Rapport sur les résultats des renégociations
Par une communication en date du octobre 1978 ( document GATT/
Becret /117 ) le gouvernement des Etats-Unis a notifié aux Parties
 Contractantes son intention de modifier les engagements contractés
dans le cadre de l' Accord Général concernant les textiles mélangés
de laine en ayant recours aux dispositions de l' Article XXVIII § 1 .
En effet , il s' agit d'une régularisation d'une législation américaine
qui date de 1968 .
Avec effet au 24 décembre 1968 , les Etats-Unis avaient ajouté
une note ^ aux notes du schedule 3 des TSUS ( Fibres et produits
textiles ). ' Selon cette note , les . tissus repris dans les parties
3 et 4 de ce schedule ( woven fabrics and fabrics of spécial construc
tion or for spécial purposes ) seraient considérés comme tissus de
laine , si le composant principal en poids est la laine , même si le
composant principal en valeur est une autre matière textile .
La nouvelle note 7 a eu pour effet de soumettre certains tissus ,
qui avaient été considérés avant comme tissus de coton , de soie ,
etc. , aux droits frappant les tissus de laine , qui en général
étaient plus élevés .    La note 7 ne s' appliquait cependant pas
aux tissus de soie , contenant plus de 17 f° en poids de laine du
genre " jacquard" de la position TSUS 337.50 »
Par la même législation , un droit de 37 » 5 cents per pound avait
été ajouté au droit ad valorem de 32 $ pour les trois positions
TSUS 355.70 , 356.30 et 359.30 .
Malgré les efforts divers de la part de la Commission depuis 1968 ,
les Etats-Unis ne sont jamais revenus sur les décision et n' omt
même pas voulu offrir des compensations .      Ce n' est que dans le
cadre des renégociations au titre de l' article XXVIII § 1 ( voir
Annexe I ) que les Etats-Unis se sont finalement déclarés prêts à
 ---pagebreak--- terminer ce vieux litige .   Bien que les Etats-Unis ont refusé
d' offrir une réduction supplémentaire à celle déjà accordée
dans le cadre des NCM pour les textiles contenant de la laine ,
ils se sont déclarés prêts à offrir une réduction supplémentaire
d' un point sur des tissus mélangés de soie des positions
TSUS 337.20 et 337.40 .   La CEE de son côté a demandé une accé
lération de la réduction des tarifs douaniers pour ces deux
positions , requête qui a été finalement honorée par les Etats-
Unis dans le sens que le taux final de 5% sur ces deux positions
du tarif douanier américain sera déjà d' application à partir
du 1e janyier 1983 .   Le Comité spécial de l' article 113 a conclu
que cet état de compensations constituerait une base acceptable
pour conclure avec les Etats-Unis .   Les concessions compensa
toires accordées par les Etats-Unis relatives aux tissus conte
nant de la laine sont repris sous l' annexe VII .
