      COUNCIL DECISION

   of 27 February 2006
   on a Community position within the EU-Chile Association Council on the amendment of Annex I to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part, to take into account the consolidation of the tariff preferences granted to Chile by the Community scheme of generalised tariff preferences (GSP)
   (2006/180/EC)
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to ensure clarity, long term economic predictability and legal certainty for economic operators, it is considered appropriate to consolidate into the bilateral free trade agreement the remaining tariff preferences granted to Chile by the Community scheme of generalised tariff preferences and not yet provided for by the Community tariff concessions listed in Annex I to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part (1), signed in Brussels on 18 November 2002.

               (2)

               Chile, as a current beneficiary country under the Community scheme of generalised tariff preferences, will benefit by means of the enclosed Association Council Decision, from a commercial agreement giving preferential treatment including all the preferences provided for by the tariff scheme contained in Council Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 of 27 June 2005 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences (2),

         HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
   Sole Article
   The position to be adopted by the Community within the Association Council on the amendment of Annex I to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part, to take into account the consolidation of the tariff preferences granted to Chile by the Community scheme of generalised tariff preferences (GSP), shall be based on the draft Decision of the Association Council annexed to this Decision.

      Done at Brussels, 27 February 2006.

            DRAFT DECISION No …/2006 OF THE EU-CHILE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL

         of
         on the amendment of Annex I to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part, to take into account the consolidation of the tariff preferences granted to Chile by the Community scheme of generalised tariff preferences (GSP)
         THE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL,
         Having regard to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part, signed in Brussels on 18 November 2002 (hereinafter referred to as ‘Association Agreement’), and in particular Article 60(5) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     In order to ensure clarity, long term economic predictability and legal certainty for economic operators, the parties have agreed to consolidate into their bilateral free trade agreement the remaining tariff preferences granted to Chile by the Community scheme of generalised tariff preferences (GSP) and not yet provided for by the Community tariff concessions listed in Annex I to the Association Agreement.

                     (2)

                     Article 60(5) of the Association Agreement empowers the Association Council to take decisions in order to accelerate the reduction of customs duties more rapidly than is provided for in Articles 65, 68 and 71, or otherwise improve the conditions of access under those Articles.

                     (3)

                     This Decision supersedes the terms laid down in Articles 65, 68 and 71 for the products concerned.

                     (4)

                     It is desirable to ensure smooth transition from the GSP to the preferential bilateral trade regime established by the Association Agreement by allowing GSP proofs of origin (certificate of origin Form A or invoice declaration) to be submitted for a certain period of time,

               HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
         Article 1
         Annex I to the Association Agreement is hereby amended in accordance with the provisions set out in the Annex to this Decision.
         Article 2
         This Decision shall supersede the terms laid down in Articles 65, 68 and 71 of the Association Agreement with respect to imports into the Community of the products concerned.
         Article 3
         Proofs of origin properly issued in Chile in the framework of the Community scheme of generalised tariff preferences (GSP) shall be accepted in the European Community as valid proofs of origin under the preferential bilateral trade regime established by the Association Agreement, provided that:

                     (i)

                     the proof of origin is submitted within four months of the date of entry into force of this Decision;

                     (ii)

                     the proof of origin and the transport documents were issued no later than the day before the date of entry into force of this Decision;

                     (iii)

                     the proof of origin is presented at import into the European Community for the benefit of tariff preferences previously granted under the GSP which are consolidated by this Decision.

               Article 4
         This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 2006, or the day of its adoption if the adoption takes place after the 1 January 2006.

         COMMUNITY'S TARIFF ELIMINATION SCHEDULE
         (referred to in articles 60, 65, and 71 of the Association Agreement)

                     (I)

                     Applied customs duty on import into the Community of products originating in Chile. This duty results from the consolidation in the Association Agreement of the GSP duty applied to Chile.

                     (II)

                     This customs duty applies only to ex quota products.

whereas on 25 June 1996 the Council adopted Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1279/96 concerning the provision of assistance to economic reform and recovery in the new independent States and Mongolia(6) (TACIS programme);(3) Whereas on 29 April 1993 by Decision 93/246/EEC the Council adopted the second phase of the trans-European cooperation scheme for higher education (Tempus II) for a period of four years from 1 July 1994(7); whereas that Decision was amended on 21 November 1996 by Decision 96/663/EC(8) to extend to six years the duration of this programme (1994-2000);(4) Whereas the countries of central and eastern Europe, the new independent States of the former Soviet Union and Mongolia, which are beneficiaries of the PHARE and TACIS programmes, consider higher education and training to be key areas for the process of economic and social reform;(5) Whereas cooperation on higher education strengthens and deepens the whole fabric of relations existing between the peoples of Europe, brings out common cultural values, allows fruitful exchanges of views to take place and facilitates multinational activities in the scientific, cultural, artistic, economic and social spheres;(6) Whereas the recent establishment of Tempus in the non-associated countries of central and eastern Europe, in the new independent States of the former Soviet Union and in Mongolia, whose needs are greater and whose areas are more extensive, fully warrants the continuation of the measures undertaken;(7) Whereas Tempus can make an effective contribution to the structural development of higher education including the improvement of human resources and occupational skills adapted to economic reform and whereas there is no other instrument for achieving this objective;(8) Whereas Tempus can also make an effective contribution, via universities and university staff, to the development of public administration and education structures in the eligible countries;(9) Whereas Tempus can contribute to the restoration of cooperation, interrupted by recent events, between neighbouring regions of the Community and whereas this cooperation is a factor of peace and stability in Europe;(10) Whereas the associated countries in the pre-accession phase which have taken part in Tempus I and Tempus II could now, thanks to the experience they have acquired, make a useful contribution alongside the Member States in assisting the partner countries who came into the programme at a much later stage to restructure their higher education systems;(11) Whereas Article 11 of Decision 93/246/EEC stipulates that the Commission must carry out an evaluation of the implementation of the Tempus programme and submit no later than 30 April 1998 a proposal for the extension or the adjustment of the programme for the period commencing on 1 July 2000;(12) Whereas the competent authorities in the countries of central and eastern Europe, the new independent States of the former Soviet Union and Mongolia, the users of the programme, the structures responsible for organising it in the eligible countries and in the European Community, and the experts and qualified representatives reflecting the views of the university world in Europe, share the findings of the evaluation report attesting to the capacity of Tempus to make an effective contribution in the eligible countries to the diversification of educational opportunities and to cooperation between universities, thereby paving the way for the development of scientific, cultural and economic and social cooperation;(13) Whereas the possibility should be provided of creating effective coordination between the Tempus III programme and other Community programmes or activities with an educational and/or training-related dimension, thus stimulating synergies and increasing the added value of each of the Community activities;(14) Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 235; whereas the conditions for invoking that Article have been satisfied,HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:Article 1Duration of Tempus IIIThe third phase of the trans-European cooperation scheme for higher education (hereinafter referred to as "Tempus III") is hereby adopted for a period of six years as from 1 July 2000.Article 2Eligible countriesTempus III shall concern the non-associated countries of central and eastern Europe eligible for economic aid by virtue of Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 (PHARE programme)(9), and the new independent States of the former Soviet Union and Mongolia mentioned in Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1279/96 (TACIS programme), subject to these assistance programmes being prolonged for the period referred to.
