Amendment 39 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19
(19) Such a tariff reduction 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 35.5 percentage points from the ‘most favoured nation’ duty rate, while for textiles and textile goods they should be reduced by 20 5%. Specific duties should be reduced by 30 %. Where a minimum duty is specified, that minimum duty should not apply.
