 ---pagebreak---                                 BULAGE I
        Verslag betreffende de resultaten van de her onderhandelingen
 1.       Bij mededelingen van respectievelijk 5 » 12 en 21 oktober 1978
 ( doe . GATT/Geheim/249 » 250 en 25 1 ) heeft de regering van de Verenigde Staten
 da overeenkomstsluitende partijen kennis gegeven van haar voornemen cm de
 in het kader va-i de algeme ie overeenkomst aangegane verplichtingen te
wijzigen en beroep te doen op het bepaalde in artikel XXVIII , lid 1 ; deze
kennisgeving had betrekking op een zeer groot aantal tariefposten . De
heronderhandelingen die de Verenigde Staten wensten , hadden tot doel enkele
 specifieke of gemengde rechten te vervangen door ad valorem-rechten .
 2.      De Gemeenschap heeft haar recht op onderhandelingen doen gelden voor
alle tariefposten waarbij zij belangen heeft als direct begunstigden , eerste
leverancier en belangrijk leverancier in de zin van artikel XXVIII .
3.       Om de omgezette rechten en de schadebe paling vast te stellen had de
Amerikaanse regering een driejarige referentieperiode voorgesteld die
betrekking had op de jaren 1975 » 1976 en 1977 * Zich baserend op voorafgaande
feiten hebben de diensten van de Commissie aangevoerd dat de in overweging
te nemen statistieken de beschikbare statistieken uit de meest recente
periode moesten zijn , d.w.z . die van 1978 daarbij inbegrepen . Hoewel de
Varenigde Staten niet formeel met het standpunt van de Gemeenschap hebben
ingestemd , hebben zij zich toch in bijna alle compensatiegevallen
gebaseerd op een referentieperiode die betrekking heeft op de jaren 1976 ,
1977 en I978 .
4.       Een omzetting van specifieke of gemengde rechten in ad valorem-rechten
zou in de meeste gevallen een verhoging van de rechten met ingang van
1 januari I98O tot gevolg hebben, berekend op grond van de meest recente
referentieperiode , daar in het algemeen de prijzen van de communautaire
produkten in deze periode hoger waren dan de gemiddelde prijzen bij
invoer in de Verenigde Staten . De diensten van de Commissie hebben
derhalve met succes de stelling verdedigd dat de gevolgen van de specifieke
rechten niet alleen globaal over de gehele invoer , doch ook bilateraal
op basis van de invoer uit de Gemeenschap moeten worden beoordeeld ten
einde de structuur– en prijsverschillen weer te geven die tussen de
Gemeenschap en haar andere handelspartners bestaan .
 ---pagebreak---                                     - 2 -
                                                                  Bi jlage I
5.     Wat de compensaties betreft hebben de diensten van de Commissie er
dus op aangedrongen dat de omgezette rechten voor elke post per 1 januari
niet hoger mogen zijn dan het bilaterale gemiddelde ad valorem-recht van
de Gemeenschap . Een verzoek van de kant van de EEG om een verlaging van
de basisrechten en een versnelde verlaging van de douanetarieven met
ingang van 1 januari I98O was het gevolg , een verzoek waaraan door de
Verenigde Staten werd voldaan , zelfs in enkele gevallen waarvoor de
Verenigde Staten in hun aanbod in het kader van de multilaterale
handelsbesprekingen gedeeltelijke uitzonderingen hebben , behalve voor
kogellagers . In zijn vergadering van 4 mei 1979 besloot het speciale
comité artikel 113 dat deze stand van compensaties voldoende basis
vormde om tot een overeenkomst met de Verenigde Staten te komen .
6.     Met betrekking tot de kogellagers verdedigen de Verenigde Staten
gedurende de gehele heronderhandelingen het standpunt dat zij de
Gemeenschap geen enkele compensatie verschuldigd waren omdat bij de
omzetting niet alleen de specifieke rechten werden afgeschaft , doch ook
de " final list ", een methode van bepaling van de douanewaarde in de
Verenigde Staten die een verhoging van de reohten voor kogellagers uit
de Gemeenschap tot gevolg had . Het op deze beide elementen gebaseerde
bilaterale gemiddelde ad valorem-recht was volgens de Verenigde Staten
hoger dan het door de Verenigde Staten voorgestelde omgezette recht .
De diensten van de Commissie hebben deze Amerikaanse stelling afgewezen
omdat de afschaffing van de " final list " reeds opgenomen was geweest
in de op zich evenwichtige onderhandelingen in het kader van de code
inzake douanewaarde . Tenslotte verzocht de Commissie - en de
Verenigde Staten hebben dit aanvaard - een tariefverlaging van een half
punt aan te bieden voor de Amerikaanse tariefposten 664.05.50 ( backhold
shovels ) en 664 . 05.35 ( front loaders ) ( van 2,5 % naar 2 $) en een verlaging
van 4,2 f» naar 2,4 % voor post 668.20.35 ( offset printing pressers ).
7.     Met betrekking tot bier hebben de Verenigde Staten voorgesteld
het specifieke recht niet in een ad valorem-recht om te zetten , op vooivaarde
dat de Gemeenschap van haar kant de toelating van bier uit de
Verenigde Staten in verpakkingen van 0,35 1 i-n het intracommunautaire
handelsverkeer aanvaardt . Het speciale comité artikel 113 » alsmede de
 ---pagebreak---                                      3
groep economische vraagstukken en, in zijn vergadering van 15 juni 1979 »
ook het comité 'van permanente vertegenwoordigers, hebben dit vraagstuk
besproken . Het comité heeft voorgesteld het volume van 0,35 1 voor bier
tijdelijk, tot in I988
8.    De in bi ; lage II opgenomen overeenkomst is op 26 juni I979
geparafeerd .
Onder deze oms- ;andigheden stelt de Commissie voor de overeenkomsten in
het kader van heronderhandelingen met de regering van de Verenigde Staten
te sluiten.     I

                   Lijst XX - Verenigde Staten
         De missie van de Verenigde Staten heeft op 17 juli 1979 aan het
secretariaat bijgaand verslag ( 1 ) doen toekomen betreffende de resultaten
van de onderhandelingen tussen de Verenigde Staten en de Europeseh
Economische Gemeenschap over de omzetting in lijst XX van specifieke
rechten in rechten ad valorem .
         Alle bestaande concessies met betrekking tot de in bijlage I vermelde
posten , die oorspronkelijk met de Europese Economische Gemeenschap waren
overeengekomen of die produkten betreffen welke voor de Europese Economische
Gemeenschap als voornaamste leverancier van belang zijn , zullen uit
lijst XX worden geschrapt .      De nieuwe concessies zullen die zijn welke de
Verenigde Staten toekennen       voor alle posten opgenomen in lijst XX welke
als bijlage aan het protocol van Genève ( 1979 ) is gehecht .       Deze omzettingen
en concessies zullen van toepassing worden overeenkomstig de gedeelten en
voorwaarden vermeld in lijst XX .       In de aan het protocol van Genève ( 1979 )
gehechte lijst XX zullen concessies worden opgenomen die niet minder gunstig
zijn dan die welke in de bijlage voorkomen .
         De Verenigde Staten hebben aan de Europese Economische Gemeenschap de
concessies toegekend vermeld in bijlage II , in de aan het protocol van
Genève ( 1979 ) gehechte lijst XX , behoudens de voorwaarden die daarin zijn
vermeld .

          VERSLAG BETREFFENDE DE RESULTATEN VAN DE ONDERHANDELINGEN
1. Bij mededeling van 12 oktober .1978 ( doe . GATT /GEHEIM /250 ) hebben de
   Verenigde Staten doep weten dat zij onderhandelingen wensen te
   beginnen met het oog op de intrekking van al hun tariefconcessies
   betreffende vaatwerk van keramische stoffen ( posten 533.11 tot en
   rr.et 533.77 ( van het Amerikaanse tarief ) overeenkomstig het bepaalde
   van lid 1 van artikel XXVIII van de Algemene overeenkomst
   betreffende tarieven en handel .
2. Deze Amerikaanse concessie-intrekking 'betreffende vaatwerk geschiedde
   tijdens de multilaterale handelsbesprekingen . Het eind oktober 1978
   ingediende compensatie-aanbod toonde een herstructurering aan van
   het Amerikaanse tarief in deze sector en bevatte zowel enkele tarief-
   verhogingen , met name voor vaatwerk voor hotels , als concessies
   ingevolge de handelsbesprekingen .
   Bovendien zijn de Verenigde Staten in deze sector overgegaan tot
   een omzetting de facto van de gemengde rechten voor het betrokken
   twintigtal predukten door hun aanbod uitsluitend in de vorm van
   ad valorem-rechten uit te drukken .
3. De Verenigde Staten hadden in toepassing van de Trsde Act , er
   gezien hun wens om èen aanbod voor de gehele sector te doen, in
   oktober 1978 nog geen concessie-aanbod voor deze sector gedaan,'
   want een deel ervan was onderworpen aan vrijwaringsmaatregelen die
   de President van de Verenigde Staten slechts in oktober 1978 ophief .
   Toch hadden gedurende de opstelling van het aanbod betreffende
   vaatwerk yan keramis'che stoffen contacten plaats gevonden met de
   Amerikaanse overheid om het standpunt van de Gemeenschap in dezen
   uiteen te zetten .
4. De verzoeken van de Gemeenschap hadden bij deze heronderhandelingen
   derhalve slechts betrekking op een beperkt aantal punten :

     - Verzoek tot verbetering van het aanbod betreffende vaatwerk voor
        hotels ( 53320 en 53352 ) waarvan het aanbod van 35Z een verhoging
       van rechten betekende ;
     - opneming van baby porringers and teapots , respectiveli jk , in de
        categorieln " soups , oatmeals and cereals " en "beverage servers "
        ( 533.37 );                        ,
     - verzoek om een aanbod betreffende      salt and pepper shaker sets ",
       "oil and vinegar sets " en " egg cups " ( opneming in post 533.76
       met 9% in plaats van 26% ) van porselein andere dan beender-
       porselein of van faience ;
     - verzoek om instelling van een onderverdeling met een aanbod voor
       dezelfde produkten als 533.76 ( candy boxes , bonbon dishes ...)
       doch van aardewerk .
5 . Aan deze verzoeken is voldaan ( 1 ), behalve voor vaatwerk voor hotels
     waarvan de export van de Gemeenschap zeer gering was .     Het comité
                                 .                     y
     113 dat regelmatig over deze onderhandelingen is ingelicht meende
     dat het Amerikaanse aanbod, met genoemde wijzigingen , in het alge
     meen een aanvaardbare regeling van deze heronderhandelingen vormde .
6 . De overeenkomst in het kader van heronderhandelingen ( doe . GATT /
     SECRET /25C / Adö-2 van 30 juli 1979 ) werd op 12 juli 1979 geparafeerd .
     Onder deze omstandigheden stelt de Commissie voor de overeenkomsten
     in het kader van heronderhandelingen met de regering van de
     Verenigde Staten te sluiten .
