"Adoption of an implementing regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is needed in order to implement provisions of agreements concerning the modification of concessions with respect to processed poultry meat signed by the European Union with Brazil and Thailand in June 2012. A mutually satisfactory compensatory adjustment offsetting the increase in bound duties was found under Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994. The Annex to the Regulation on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff should reflect the agreed modifications of concessions for processed poultry meat (chapter 16 of the Combined Nomenclature). Implementation of the agreements envisages an increase in out-of-quota rates for 7 tariff lines of processed poultry meat products and the opening of tariff quotas for these tariff lines to Brazil, Thailand and other World Trade Organisation (WTO) members. The autonomous duties set in Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff are higher than the current tariffs bound in the WTO and therefore the ‘pre-Uruguay Round’ autonomous duty rates should be increased to the level of the conventional duty rates. I am of the opinion that this rebalancing of duties ensures a mutually acceptable solution for all trading partners. It is also necessary to bring up the level of protection in order to address substitution effects affecting the EU poultry industry."@en1
