(3) The Union's common commercial policy is to be consistent with and to consolidate the objectives of the Union policy in the field of development cooperation, laid down in Article 208 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), in particular the eradication of poverty and the promotion of sustainable economic, social, and environmental development and good governance in the developing countries. It n the context of a new, more sustainable growth model, the Union needs a new trade policy strategy and the green transition must go hand in hand with social equity and reciprocity. It is to comply with World Trade Organisation (‘WTO’) requirements, in particular with the Decision on Differential and More Favourable Treatment, Reciprocity and Fuller Participation of Developing Countries (the ‘Enabling Clause’), adopted under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (‘GATT’) in 1979, under which WTO Members may accord differential and more favourable treatment to developing countries.

(5) The general objectives of the GSP are to support eradication of poverty in all its forms, in line with Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goal 17.12 and, to promote the sustainable development agenda and to encourage exports diversification from GSP beneficiary countries, while averting harm to EU industry’s interests. The 2018 GSP Mid- term Evaluation and the 2021 supporting Study for the Impact Assessment underpinning this Regulation concluded that the GSP framework under Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 has delivered on these main objectives, which were at the core of the 2012 overhaul of Council Regulation (EC) No 732/200815 . _________________ 15 Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 of 22 July 2008 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences from 1 January 2009 and amending Regulations (EC) No 552/97, (EC) No 1933/2006 and Commission Regulations (EC) No 1100/2006 and (EC) No 964/2007 (OJ L 211, 6.8.2008, p. 1).

(6) Those objectives remain relevant in the current global context and they are consistent with the analysis and perspective of the recent Commission Communication Trade Policy Review “An Open, Sustainable and Assertive Trade Policy”16 (‘TPR’). According to the TPR, the Union has a “strategic interest to support the enhanced integration into the world economy of vulnerable developing countries” and it “must fully use the strength provided by its openness and the attractiveness of its Single Market” to support multilateralism and to ensure adherence to universal values. For GSP specifically, the TPR notes its important role in “promoting respect for core human and labour rights” and sets the objective for the GSP “to further increase trading opportunities for developing countries to reduce poverty and create jobs based on international values and principles”. Together with openness to trade, the scheme should support GSP beneficiary countries to develop a strong industrial base and to create an infrastructure that facilitates access to knowledge and information to foster diversification of trade flows. Moreover, the scheme should assist beneficiaries in recovering from the COVID-19 impact and in re-building their economies in a sustainable manner, including with respect to international human rights, labour, environmental and good governance standards. By prioritising diversification of exports from GSP beneficiary countries, the scheme should focus preferences on less competitive products which should ultimately contribute to sustainable development and poverty eradication. Coherence should be ensured between the GSP and its objectives and the assistance provided to beneficiary countries, in line with Union’s Policy Coherence for Development (PCD), which constitutes a key pillar of Union’s efforts to enhance the positive impact and increase effectiveness of development cooperation17 . _________________ 16 COM(2021) 66 final, 18 February 2021 17 Article 208 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU concerning PCD reads: “The Union shall take account of the objectives of development cooperation in the policies that it implements which are likely to affect developing countries”.

(7) By providing preferential access to the Union market, the scheme should assist developing countries in their efforts to reduce poverty and achieve and promote good governance and sustainable development by helping them to generate additional revenue through international trade, which can then be re-invested for the benefit of their own development and, in addition, to diversify their economies. The scheme's tariff preferences should focus on less competitive products originating from those developing countries that have greater development, trade and financial needs.

Recital 7 a (new)
(7 a) Union policies increasingly entail an escalation in obligations to comply with Union standards on quality and sustainability of production, with a significant impact on production costs, which are not fully taken into account in international trade negotiations or in the GSP, despite the leading role of the Union in these areas. The limits and obligations that European producers have to respect should equally apply to imports into the Union internal market, being also monitored regularly. The latter imports should reflect the soaring requirements that Union farmers are bounded to implement as the GSP must not, under any circumstance, be a tool to promote unsustainable production or triangular trade. This should become a non- negotiable factor in free trade negotiations or access through the Union's GSP, alongside with equivalence which should also be a prerequisite, covering the entire value chain. The creation of a level playing field for production based on an equivalent political approach would strengthen the competitiveness, employment and growth of agri-food production in the beneficiary countries of the GSP schemes, while safeguarding the European producers.

(19) The special arrangement for the least-developed countries (EBA) should continue to grant duty free access to the Union market for products originating in the least developed countries, as recognised and classified by the United Nations (UN), except for trade in arms. For a country no longer classified by the UN as a least-developed country, a transitional period should be established, to alleviate any adverse effects caused by the removal of the tariff preferences granted under that arrangement. If a beneficiary country of the EBA scheme no longer meets certain economic, environmental and social conditions, that country should be excluded from the list of beneficiary countries of the EBA scheme. If a product imported from EBA beneficiary countries does not meet certain economic, environmental and social production criteria, that product should be excluded from the tariff preference scheme and the Common Customs Tariff should be reintroduced for that product. Tariff preferences provided under the special arrangement for the least- developed countries should continue to be granted for those least developed countries, which benefit from another preferential market access arrangement with the Union.

(21) Common Customs Tariff duties on non-sensitive products should continue to be suspended, while duties on sensitive products should enjoy a tariff reduction, in order to ensure a satisfactory utilisation rate while at the same time taking account of the situation of the corresponding Union industriesown production industries and agriculture.

(22) Such a tTariff reductions should be sufficiently attractive, in order to motivate traders to make use of the opportunities offered by the scheme. Therefore, the ad valorem duties should generally be reduced by a flat rate of 3,5 percentage points from the 'most favoured nation' duty rate, while such duties for textiles and textile goods should be reduced by 20 %. Specific duties should be reduced by 30 %. Where a minimum duty is specified, that minimum duty should not apply.

Recital 23 a (new)
(23 a) Safeguards are essential mechanisms to reduce beneficiary countries’ dependency on a few products, to focus preferences on less competitive products and to stimulate economic growth. The scheme should reinforce the Union’s financial and economic interests by providing effective and enforceable safeguards to sensitive products which should at the same time improve the implementation of social and environmental rights in beneficiary countries

(25) The reasons for temporary withdrawal of the arrangements under the scheme should include serious and systematic violations of the principles laid down in international conventions concerning core human rights (including certain principles of international humanitarian law enshrined in those conventions), labour rights, climate and environmental protection, and good governance, so as to promote the objectives of those conventions. Furthermore, temporary withdrawal should be made possible in case of severe and systemic breach of the obligation of the beneficiary country towards not respecting the Members States’ interests and not complying with international trade obligations and creating some retaliatory or discriminatory measures. Tariff preferences under the special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance should be temporarily withdrawn if the beneficiary country does not respect its binding undertaking to maintain the ratification and effective implementation of those conventions or to comply with the reporting requirements imposed by the respective conventions, or if the beneficiary country does not cooperate with the Union's monitoring procedures as set out in this Regulation. The temporary withdrawal should continue until the reasons justifying it no longer apply. In situations characterised by an exceptional gravity of the violations, the Commission should have the power to respond rapidly by adopting measures within a shorter timeline. Under the Union’s zero tolerance approach for child labour the reasons for temporary withdrawal should include exports of goods made by internationally prohibited child labour, as well as forced labour including slavery and prison labour, as identified in the relevant Conventions in Annex VI.

(25 a) Trade defense instruments are becoming increasingly important and should be enforced as soon as imports harm Union producers. Thereunder, the latter instruments should be used to manage situations where unfair trade practices take place in the form of price dumping or public subsidies, not WTO compliant. As trade within agri-food products is increasingly concentrated on processed products, the activation of trade defense instruments is progressively becoming more complex, as evidenced by the evolution of imports of semi-finished or processed rice from Cambodia. For this purpose, a certain establishment of the origin of the raw material used in the transformation of the product should be ensured.

(35) The Commission should also adopt immediately applicable implementing acts where, in duly justified cases relating to safeguard investigations, imperative grounds of urgency relating to the deterioration of the economic and/or financial situation of Union producers which would be difficult to repair so require. Safeguards should be promptly activated if there were to exist a substantial negative impact on the Union agri-food production sector. Any delay or hesitation in the application of safeguard measures in the agri-food sector could lead to irreversible economic damage for Union farmers and the agri-food industry overall, with consequent loss of jobs and damage to the local, national and European socio-economic framework.

Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 9 a (new)
(9 a) "sensitive products" means goods whose excessive utilisation rate by standard GSP beneficiary countries could have a negative impact on the market for basic or processed goods and other European commodities, in the medium and long term. In this regard and for the purposes of this definition, processed agri-food products - such as rice and sugar - are products obtained with basic raw materials whose origin or place of origin is ascertained in a Member State.

(9 b) For the purpose of this Regulation, agricultural and agri-food products are considered sustainable when they are certified in accordance with voluntary sustainability certification schemes recognized by the European Commission on the basis of pre- established sustainability criteria and minimum requirements. The latter should be based, inter alia, in consistency with the ambitious objectives of the European Green deal and the "Farm2Fork" strategy, as well as with internationally recognized standards such as relevant international conventions listed in Annex VI, adequate standards of human rights, environmental sustainability, economic equality and decent income.
