Justification

Point (1) and a reference to Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 have been inserted to Article 1 of the draft Regulation by means of AM 1, which makes it necessary to adapt accordingly the current wording of Article 1 of the draft Regulation.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Council Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 of 30 November 2009 establishes a system of exceptional trade measures for countries or territories participating in or linked to the European Union’s Stabilisation and Association process. In practice, it grants exceptional and unlimited duty-free access to the EU market for almost all products originating from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. Such asymmetric liberalization would normally impinge on the WTO rules on non-discrimination. However, these trade preferences for the Western Balkans are explicitly allowed by a WTO waiver until 31 December 2015.

With the exception of Kosovo, all the above-listed countries have concluded Stabilization and Association Agreements or Interim Agreements on trade and trade-related matters with the EU. The concessions granted under such contractual trade regimes are in many respects more favourable than those offered under Council Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009. Thus, this regulation has been progressively amended so as to remove these countries from the list of beneficiaries of the tariff concessions for the same products under the contractual trade regimes, and to adjust the global tariff quota volumes for those products for which tariff quotas are granted under the contractual trade regimes. However, these countries remain beneficiaries under Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 in so far as that this regulation provides for concessions which are more favourable than those under the contractual trade regimes.

The preferential tariff treatment enshrined in Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 does not apply, inter alia, to wine. This regulation provides that wine is imported from all the Western Balkans through a global tariff quota, setting a quantity of wine that can be imported at a no or lower duty. On top of this, Stabilisation and Association Agreements or Interim Agreements grant the respective countries a specific individual tariff quota for wine. In practice, the global tariff quota for wine of 50.000 hl established under Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 is open to all the beneficiaries, but only after exhaustion of their specific quota available under the respective Stabilisation and Association Agreement or Interim Agreement.

Kosovo has no Stabilisation and Association Agreement or Interim Agreement with the EU, and thus can benefit solely from the global tariff quota established under Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009. But when such global tariff quota is exhausted by other countries, Kosovan exporters lose preferential access to the EU market. As Kosovo has demonstrated the potential to export wine to the EU, the proposed regulation aims at correcting this asymmetry by allocating a specific tariff quota for wine of 20.000 hl to Kosovo, which is deducted from the global quota of 50.000 hl provided for in Council Regulation 1215/2009, hence reduced to 30.000 hl. This is achieved by amending ANNEX I of Council Regulation 1215/2009.

At this stage, the rapporteur considers the proposed regulation to be grounded on a reasonable approach, which aims at levelling the playing field with respect to imports of wine into the EU from all Western Balkans. The rapporteur underscores the fact that the allocation of a specific tariff quota for wine originating from Kosovo would not entail an overall increase of the global tariff quota for wine allowed to be imported by the Western Balkans, but would simply alter its distribution, correcting the alleged disadvantageous position of Kosovan wine exporters. It appears, moreover, that the level of the wine quota allocated to Kosovo is set on the basis of past trade in that product, and as this is the method which is customarily followed to determine the levels of quotas, there appear to be no disproportional allocation of wine to Kosovo in comparison to the individual tariff quotas for wine allocated to the other Western Balkans under the Stabilisation and Association Agreements or Interim Agreements. For these reasons, at this stage, the rapporteur has no amendments to the Commission proposal. The rapporteur finally stresses the urgency of this legislative procedure, as in order not to disrupt trade, the amended Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 would have to be adopted and published in the Official Journal of the European Union before 31 December 2013. The rapporteur is in contact with the upcoming Presidency and with the Council Secretariat to ensure a swift adoption of the proposal at hand.
