92/496/EEC: Council Decision of 13 July 1992 on the conclusion of an Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the United States of America concerning the application of the GATT Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft on trade in large civil aircraft

Official Journal L 301 , 17/10/1992 P. 0031 - 0031

COUNCIL DECISION  of 13 July 1992  on the conclusion of an Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the United States of America concerning the application of the GATT Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft on trade in  large civil aircraft  (92/496/EEC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,  Whereas the Agreement negotiated between the European Economic Community and the Government of the United States of America concerning the application of the GATT Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft on trade in large civil aircraft in Brussels on 31  March 1992 should be approved,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Article 1  The Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the United States of America concerning the application of the GATT Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft on trade in large civil aircraft is hereby approved on behalf  of the Community.  The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision.  Article 2  The President of the Council is hereby authorized to designate the person empowered to sign the Agreement referred to in Article 1 in order to bind the Community. Done at Brussels, 13 July 1992. For the Council  The President  N. LAMONT    ANNEX I INTERPRETATION OF ARTICLE 4 OF THE GATT AGREEMENT ON TRADE IN CIVIL AIRCRAFT BY SIGNATORIES OF THE AGREEMENT  Article 4 of the GATT Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft (hereinafter referred to as 'the Agreement') deals with three specific issues:  - government-directed procurement (paragraph 2),  - mandatory subcontracts (paragraph 3),  - inducements (paragraph 4).  Article 4.1  Paragraph 4.1 states the general principle, applicable throughout Article 4, that purchasers of civil aircraft (1) should be free to select supplies on the basis of commercial and technological factors.  Article 4.2  (Government-directed procurement)  This paragraph states that 'signatories shall not require airlines, aircraft manufacturers, or other entities engaged in the purchase of civil aircraft, nor exert unreasonable pressure on them, to procure civil aircraft from any particular source, which  would create discrimination against suppliers from any signatory'.  This means that signatories must abstain from imposing preference policies in favour of or against the suppliers of one or more signatories.  Unreasonable government pressure relating to the selection of suppliers by airlines, aircraft manufacturers or other entities engaged in the purchase of civil aircraft ('purchasers') is also prohibited. 'Unreasonable pressure' is any action favouring  products or suppliers or which influences procurement decisions in a manner which creates discrimination against suppliers from any other signatory.  The signatories agree that the following are examples of practices which are not considered as exerting unreasonable pressure:  - the participation of government or former government representatives on the boards of wholly or partly government-owned purchasers, but only if they act in the best commercial interest of the purchaser concerned and do not influence procurement  decisions in a manner which creates discrimination against suppliers from any other signatory,  - government decisions concerning safety and environmental considerations.  Article 4.3  (Mandatory subcontracts)  The first sentence states that 'signatories agree that the purchase of products covered by the Agreement should be made only on a competitive price, quality and delivery basis'. This means that signatories will not intervene to obtain favoured treatment  for particular firms and that they will not interfere with the selection of vendors in a situation where vendors of different signatories are competing.  By emphasizing that the only factors which should be involved in purchase decisions are price, quality and delivery terms, the signatories agree that Article 4.3 does not permit government-mandated offsets. Further, they will not require that other  factors, such as subcontracting, be made a condition or consideration of sale. Specifically, a signatory may not require that a vendor must provide offset, specific types or volumes of business opportunities, or other types of industrial compensation.  Signatories shall not therefore impose conditions requiring subcontractors or suppliers to be of a particular national origin.  The second sentence of this paragraph states that 'in conjunction with the approval or awarding of procurement contracts for products covered by this Agreement a signatory may . . . require that its qualified firms be provided with access to business  opportunities on a competitive basis and on terms no less favourable than those available to the firms of other signatories.' This means that a signatory may require that the manufacturer not discriminate against the signatory's qualified firms with  respect to any bid opportunities and to the evaluation of any competitive bids made by those firms.  Article 4.4  (Inducements)  This paragraph states that 'signatories agree to avoid attaching inducements of any kind to the sale or purchase of civil aircraft from any particular source which would create discrimination against suppliers from any signatory'.  This means that signatories shall refrain from the use of negative or positive linkages between the sale or purchase of civil aircraft and other government decisions or policies which might influence such sale or purchase whenever there is a competition  between suppliers of signatories. The following is an agreed illustrative, non-exhaustive list of such prohibited inducements:  - rights and restrictions relating to the airline industry, such as landing or route rights,  - general economic programmes and policies, such as import policies, measures aiming at changes in bilateral trade imbalances, policies on alien workers or debt rescheduling,  - development assistance programmes and policies, such as grant aid, loans and infrastructure financing; it is understood that the use of such assistance for the purchase of civil aircraft does not fall under this category to the extent that the  granting of these funds is not conditional on such purchase taking place,  - defence and national security policies and programmes.  Without prejudice to Article 4.3, this also means that signatories shall not intervene in any way, nor exert any direct or indirect pressure on other governments or any entity involved in procurement decisions, including the establishment of any link of  a negative or positive character between decisions concerning the procurement of civil aircraft and any other issue or action in any other area which might affect the interest of the importing country.  Articles 4.2 and 4.4  (Political representations)  All participants of signatories in the domestic political decision-making process shall not take any action, including, but not limited to, political representations, pressure or inducements to other governments or foreign airlines, which would be  contrary to Article 4 as interpreted in this Annex. Signatories shall draw the participants' attention to this interpretation of Article 4 and shall also use their best efforts to assure that the participants do not take such action.     (1) For the purpose of this Annex, 'civil aircraft' is defined as in Article 1 of the GATT Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft.     ANNEX II For the purposes of the present Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:  1. 'large civil aircraft': with respect to such aircraft produced in the US by existing manufacturers of large civil aircraft and in the European Community by the Airbus consortium, or their successor entities, all aircraft, as defined in Article 1 of  the GATT Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, except engines as defined in Article 1.1 (b) thereof, that are designed for passenger or cargo transportation and have 100 or more passenger seats or its equivalent in cargo configuration;  2. 'derivative' means an aircraft model the major design elements of which are derived from a prior aircraft model;  3. 'Total development cost', as referred to in Article 4.2: the following cost items, incurred prior to the date of certification, are those which may be taken into account in assessing the 'total development cost' referred to in Article 4.2:  - preliminary design,  - engineering design,  - wind-tunnel, structural, system and laboratory tests,  - engineering simulators,  - equipment development work, except for work directly financed by equipment and engine manufacturers,  - flight tests, including associated ground support, and analysis necessary to obtain certification,  - documentation required for certification,  - the cost of manufacture of prototypes and test aircraft, including spares and such modifications as may be necessary to obtain certification, less the estimated fair market value of flight aircraft after refurbishment,  - jigs and tools, except machine tools, for use on specific programmes;  4. 'production': all manufacturing, marketing and sales activities other than those described under point 3 with the exception of official export credit financing consistent with the Large Aircraft Sector Understanding of the OECD Understanding on  Official Export Financing;  5. 'indirect government support': financial support provided by a government or by any public body within the territory of a Party for aeronautical applications, including research and development, demonstration projects and development of military  aircraft, which provide an identifiable benefit to the development or production of one or more specific large civil aircraft programmes;  6. 'direct government support' means any financial support provided by a government or by any public body within the territory of a Party which is provided:  1. for specific large civil aircraft programmes or derivatives; or  2. to specific companies to the extent that large civil aircraft programmes or derivatives directly benefit;  7. 'royalty payment' means repayment of a certain predetermined amount of development support per aircraft delivered.

  WHEREAS , FOR THAT REASON , THE COMMISSION HAD TO BASE ITS CALCULATIONS ON THE NORMAL VALUE IN A MARKET ECONOMY COUNTRY ; WHEREAS , IN THAT CONNECTION , THE COMPLAINT HAD CITED THE AUSTRIAN AND SPANISH DOMESTIC MARKETS ;   WHEREAS , ON THE BASIS OF CONTACTS WITH AUSTRIAN AND SPANISH PRODUCERS AND INSPECTIONS CARRIED OUT ON THEIR PREMISES , AND IN THE LIGHT OF THE ARGUMENTS PUT FORWARD IN THE COURSE OF THE HEARINGS BY THE EXPORTERS CONCERNED INTER ALIA DISPUTING THE COMPARABILITY OF THE SPANISH MARKET , A COMPARISON WITH THE PRICE OF ELECTRIC MOTORS ON THE AUSTRIAN DOMESTIC MARKET APPEARED REASONABLE AT LEAST FOR THE PURPOSES OF A PRELIMINARY FINDING OF DUMPING , SINCE THE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES AND TECHNICAL STANDARDS AND ALSO THE TECHNOLOGY ARE SIMILAR , WHILE THE LARGE VOLUME OF IMPORTS , NOTABLY FROM THE COUNTRIES CITED IN THE COMPLAINT , APPEARED TO GUARANTEE A FAIR LEVEL OF PRICES ;   WHEREAS THE PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF DUMPING HAS ACCORDINGLY BEEN EFFECTED BY COMPARING THE AVERAGE AUSTRIAN EX-WORKS PRICES FOR SALES OVER THE PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 1978 TO SEPTEMBER 1979 WITH PRICES FOR IMPORTS INTO THE COMMUNITY FROM THE COUNTRIES IN QUESTION OVER THE SAME PERIOD ;

  WHEREAS MOST OF THE COMMUNITY FIRMS CONSEQUENTLY MADE CONSIDERABLE LOSSES ON THE STANDARDIZED MULTI-PHASE MOTORS COVERED BY THE PROCEDURE , AND THIS PUT AT RISK THE PROFITABILITY OF THE ROTARY MACHINERY INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE , AND HAS ALREADY LED TO AN APPRECIABLE FALL IN THE NUMBERS DIRECTLY EMPLOYED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF ELECTRIC MOTORS , FROM 28 300 IN 1974 TO 23 600 IN 1978 ;   WHEREAS INJURIES CAUSED BY OTHER FACTORS WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMMUNITY INDUSTRY , SUCH AS THE VOLUME AND PRICES OF OTHER IMPORTS , OR STAGNATION OF DEMAND , HAVE BEEN EXAMINED AND HAVE NOT BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO THE IMPORTS UNDER CONSIDERATION ;   WHEREAS THE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION OF THE FACTS SHOWED THE EXISTENCE OF DUMPING , AND THERE WAS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF CONSEQUENT INJURY ;   WHEREAS , IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES , THE INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY CALLED FOR ACTION TO PREVENT INJURY BEING CAUSED DURING THE PROCEEDING ;   WHEREAS SUCH ACTION CONSISTED IN THE IMPOSITION BY REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 451/80 ( 1 ), OF A PROVISIONAL ANTI-DUMPING DUTY ON IMPORTS OF THE ELECTRIC MOTORS CONCERNED ;   WHEREAS , AFTER THE IMPOSITION OF THE PROVISIONAL ANTI-DUMPING DUTY , THE SOVIET EXPORTER , ENERGOMACHEXPORT , AUTHORIZED ITS IMPORTERS AND AGENTS IN THE COMMUNITY , THE FIRMS ENITAL SPA ( MILAN ), LES INDUSTRIES FRANCAISES  ( WISSOUS ), NEOTYPE TECHMASHEXPORT GMBH ( BERGISCH-GLADBACH ) AND STANBEL ( BRAINE-LE-CHATEAU ) TO DO WHATEVER WAS NECESSARY TO CREATE NORMAL CONDITIONS FOR THE SALE OF MOTORS ON THE MARKET AND TO TAKE THE APPROPRIATE MEASURES ;   WHEREAS , ON THE BASIS OF THESE AUTHORIZATIONS , UNDERTAKINGS COVERING TRANSACTIONS IN ALL PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN OFFERED TO THE COMMISSION BY THE AGENTS AND IMPORTERS OF ENERGOMACHEXPORT IN THE COMMUNITY , ACTING ON BEHALF OF THAT FIRM AS WELL AS ON THEIR OWN BEHALF ;   WHEREAS , IN VIEW OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE AUTHORIZATION PROCEDURE , IT MUST BE REGARDED AS EXCEPTIONAL , AND THE ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH A PROCEDURE IN THIS CASE DOES NOT PREJUDICE THE FUTURE ATTITUDE OF THE COMMISSION IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS ;   WHEREAS THE EFFECT OF THE SAID UNDERTAKINGS WILL ESSENTIALLY BE TO INCREASE IMPORT PRICES INTO THE COMMUNITY ; WHEREAS THE SAID INCREASES TAKE ACCOUNT NOT ONLY OF THE DIFFERENCES NOTED IN THE COURSE OF LOCAL INVESTIGATIONS BETWEEN THE PRICES CHARGED BY THE VARIOUS EXPORTING COUNTRIES , BUT ALSO OF THE PARTICULAR SITUATION OF THE INDUSTRY IN THE DIFFERENT MEMBER STATES ;   WHEREAS THE COMMISSION HAS PROVISIONALLY DETERMINED THAT IMPLEMENTATION OF THOSE UNDERTAKINGS WOULD NEUTRALIZE THE INJURIOUS EFFECTS OF THE IMPORTS IN QUESTION AND THAT IT IS NOT NOW NECESSARY TO TAKE PROTECTIVE ACTION IN RESPECT OF IMPORTS FROM COUNTRIES HAVING ENTERED INTO SUCH UNDERTAKINGS ;   WHEREAS THE COMMISSION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THE UNDERTAKINGS ARE STRICTLY COMPLIED WITH , IN PARTICULAR BY CARRYING OUT PERIODICALLY THE NECESSARY CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS ;   WHEREAS THE DECISION TO ACCEPT THESE UNDERTAKINGS MAY BE RECONSIDERED SHOULD THE COMMISSION , ON THE BASIS OF THE INFORMATION IN ITS POSSESSION , CONSIDER THIS NECESSARY ; WHEREAS , IN PARTICULAR , SHOULD THE SAID UNDERTAKINGS NOT BE PASSED ON TO THE COMMUNITY MARKET AND HENCE FAIL TO ELIMINATE THE INJURY BEING CAUSED TO COMMUNITY PRODUCERS , THE COMMISSION COULD SUGGEST THAT THEY BE VARIED OR DECIDE TO DENOUNCE THEM ;

   1.   Proofs of origin properly issued by either Egypt or a new Member State in the framework of preferential agreements or autonomous arrangements applied between them shall be accepted in the respective countries under this Protocol, provided that:

               (a)

               the acquisition of such origin confers preferential tariff treatment on the basis of the preferential tariff measures contained in the EU-Egypt Agreement or in the Community System of Generalised Preferences;

         Where goods were declared for importation in either Egypt or a new Member State, prior to the date of accession, under preferential agreements or autonomous arrangements applied between Egypt and that new Member State at that time, proof of origin issued retrospectively under those agreements or arrangements may also be accepted provided that it is submitted to the customs authorities within the period of four months from the date of accession.
   2.   Egypt and the new Member States are authorised to retain the authorisations with which the status of ‘approved exporters’ has been granted in the framework of preferential agreements or autonomous arrangements applied between them, provided that:

               (a)

               such a provision is also provided for in the agreement concluded prior to the date of accession between Egypt and the Community; and

               (b)

               the approved exporter apply the rules of origin in force under that agreement.

         These authorisations shall be replaced no later than one year after the date of accession, by new authorisations issued under the conditions of the Agreement.
   3.   Requests for subsequent verification of proof of origin issued under the preferential agreements or autonomous arrangements referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 above can be presented by the competent customs authorities of either Egypt or the new Member States and shall be accepted by those authorities for a period of three years after the issue of the proof of origin concerned.
   Article 5
   Goods in transit
   1.   The provisions of the Agreement may be applied to goods exported from either Egypt to one of the new Member States or from one of the new Member States to Egypt, which comply with the provisions of Protocol [4] and that on the date of accession are either en route or in temporary storage, in a customs warehouse or in a free zone in Egypt or in that new Member State.
   2.   Preferential treatment may be granted in such cases, subject to the submission to the customs authorities of the importing country, within four months of the date of accession, of a proof of origin issued retrospectively by the customs authorities of the exporting country.
