Generalized system of preferences: revision of the system 1995-1997 for agricultural products

Parliament approved the Commission proposal subject to two amendments. These amendments aimed to: - supplement the reference to Article 113 of the Treaty establishing the European Community (common commercial policy) by expressly invoking Article 43 (common agricultural policy) and Article 130w (application of the cooperation procedure to the adoption of measures necessary to achieve the objectives of the Community's policy in the field of development cooperation) as legal bases of the proposal; - exclude from the system suspending Common Customs Tariff duties products under codes 20056000 and 20049099 (canned and frozen asparagus). �
