Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America

133 COMMITTEE

MD : 251/02

SOURCE : Commission

FOR : Discussion

DATE RECEIVED : 05-06-02

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

On 5 March 2002, the United States of America (US) imposed a safeguard measure on a wide range of steel products grouped in 11 categories, with effect on 20 March 2002. The measure takes the form of an additional duty of 30% on most flat and long steel products, a tariff quota on slabs, and an additional duty of 15% for other steel products such as rebar, tubes and stainless steel, 13% on fittings and 8% on stainless steel wire.

The exporting interests most hit by the US safeguard measure are those of the European Communities (EC), Japan, Korea, China and to a lesser extent Russia.

As far as the EC interests are concerned, this measure is causing considerable injury to the Community producers concerned and it substantially disturbs the balance of concessions and obligations resulting from the WTO Agreement; indeed, it will significantly limit Community exports of the steel products concerned to the United States, which amounted to at least an average of 2407 million euro per year over the last three years for which complete statistics are available (1999 to 2001).

The Commission considers that this US safeguard measure is blatantly in violation of the WTO Agreement on Safeguard and of the GATT 1994, and it has consequently initiated dispute settlement procedure in the WTO by requesting consultations under the relevant WTO provisions on 7 March 2002.

Furthermore, as the EC and the US have failed to agree on any adequate means of compensation in accordance with the provisions of the WTO Agreement, the EC has also the right to adopt re-balancing measures in the form of suspension of trade concessions against the United States up to the level of adverse trade effect caused to the EC by the US safeguard measure.

It is considered that additional import duties of 100%, 30%, 15%, 13% or 8% on imports of US origin is an appropriate re-balancing measure, to be applied on selected US manufactured products on which the EC is not substantially dependent for its supply, but which are likely to have a substantially equivalent impact on the US to that of the US measure on the EC .

On these selected products, the tariff concessions granted by the Community to the US shall be suspended from 18 June 2002 and such suspension of tariff concessions shall be notified to the WTO by that date.

The application of the additional import duty can be immediate to the extent that the US measure is not based on an absolute increase in imports. This is the case for the "certain flat steel products" category, representing 1290 million euro of affected trade, where imports into the US have declined between 1996 and 2001, the last year for which full statistics were available at the time of adoption of the US measure. A limited suspension of concessi ons equivalent to the US measure in terms of collected duties on "certain flat steel products" in the form of an additional 100% duty on mainly steel products could therefore apply at the end of the 90-day period provided in Article 8(2) of the WTO Agreement on Safeguards.

However, in the short term, the primary objective of the Community remains to reach an agreement with the US on both compensation and product exclusions from the safeguard action. The application of the additional 100% duty should be decided in the light of the results achieved on both compensation and products exclusions.

For the remainder, additional import duties mirroring the US measure in terms of collected duties will be applied five days after the date of a decision from the WTO Dispute Settlement Body that the safeguard measure imposed by the United States of America is incompatible with the WTO Agreement, and in any event 3 years after the entry into force of the US measure, that is 20 March 2005.

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America

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:

The United States of America has imposed a safeguard measure in the form of tariff increases or tariff quotas on imports of steel products from, inter alia, the European Community as from 20 March 2002.
This measure is causing considerable injury to the Community producers concerned and disturbs the balance of concessions and obligations resulting from the WTO Agreement; the measure will significantly limit Community exports of the steel products concerned to the United States of America affecting Community exports worth at least 2407 million euro per year.
The consultations which were held between the United States of America and the Community as envisaged in the WTO Agreement did not reach any satisfactory solution.
The WTO Agreement gives any affected exporting Member the right to suspend the application of substantially equivalent concessions or other obligations, provided the WTO Council for Trade in Goods does not disapprove.
The imposition of additional customs duties of 100%, 30%, 15%, 13% and 8% on selected products originating in the United States of America imported each year into the Community represents the suspension of a substantially equivalent trade concessions, in that the duties collected will not exceed the amount of duties to be collected on Community exports of the products covered by the US safeguard measure, i.e. 626 million euro per year.
The suspension of substantially equivalent concessions should be applied by priority with respect to the steel sector, and to other sectors where appropriate; in particular, the manufactured products originating in the United States of America which have been selected are those on which the Community is not substantially dependent for its supply, but on which the imposition of additional customs duties will have an impact substantially equivalent to the impact on Community exports of the safeguard measure imposed by the United States of America.
For some products designated as "certain flat steel products" the safeguard measure adopted by the United States of America has not been taken as a result of an absolute increase in imports.
As allowed by the WTO Agreement, a part of the Community’s concessions corresponding to that part of the safeguard measure that was not taken as a result of an absolute increase of imports and representing an amount of applicable duties of 379 million euro should therefore be suspended on products of particular relevance to the United States of America from 18 June 2002 until the safeguard measure imposed by the United States of America is lifted.
However, the primary objective of the Community in the short term remains to reach an agreement with the United States of America on both compensation and product exclusions from the safeguard action. If the United States of America were to decide economically meaningful product exclusions and present an acceptable offer on trade compensation, the application of additional duty in the short term could be reconsidered.
This Regulation is without prejudice to the question of the compatibility of the safeguard measure applied by the United States of America with the WTO Agreement; in any event, the additional duty should apply in full from 20 March 2005 until the safeguard measure imposed by the United States of America is lifted; it should however apply immediately after a decision by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body that the safeguard measure imposed by the United States of America is incompatible wi th the WTO Agreement;
Products for which an import licence with an exemption from or a reduction of duty has been issued prior to the date entry into force of this regulation should not be subject to these additional customs duties.
Products for which it can be proved that they have been exported from the United States of America to the Community prior to the date of application of the additional customs duties should not be subject to these additional customs duties.
Products affected by the suspension of concessions should be placed under the customs procedure "processing under customs control" only pursuant to an examination in the Committee of the Customs Code.
The Community provided written notice of the suspension to the Council for Trade in Goods on 14 May 2002; the Council for Trade in Goods has not disagreed with such suspension;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The tariff concessions granted by the Community to the United States of America in respect of the products listed in Annex I and II to this Regulation are hereby suspended from 18 June 2002.

Article 2

The customs duties applicable to the products originating in the United States of America listed in Annex I and II shall be increased by an additional ad valorem duty of 100%, 30%, 15%, 13% or 8%, as indicated in the Annexes.

The Council, acting in each case by qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall decide on the application of the additional duties listed in Annex I, including on the date of application and definitive content of Annex I

not later than 12 October 2002, if, prior to 19 July 2002, the United States of America has decided on economically meaningful product exclusions and has started its domestic process to present an acceptable offer on trade compensation;
not later than 1 August 2002, if the criteria under a) are not fulfilled.

The additional duties listed in Annex I shall apply until the additional duties in Annex II apply.

Article 4
