Níor cheart cuótaí rátaí taraife an Aontais nach cuid de sceideal lamháltas agus ceangaltas an Aontais a chionroinnt.
The Union’s tariff rate quotas that are not part of the Union’s schedule of concessions and commitments should not be apportioned.
Sna gealltanais sin, a rinneadh cuid de Sceideal Lamháltas agus Ceangaltais Earraí na hEagraíochta Domhanda Trádála (EDT) i dtaca le Cónaidhm na Rúise dóibh tráth a haontachais le EDT, tá cuótaí rátaí taraife le haghaidh allmhairiú cineálacha sonraithe adhmaid bhuaircínigh, agus leithdháileadh sciar díobh sin le haghaidh allmhairithe chun an Aontais.
These commitments, which became part of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Schedule of Concessions and Commitments on Goods of the Russian Federation upon its accession to the WTO, include tariff-rate quotas for the export of specified types of coniferous wood, a share of which has been allocated for exports to the Union.
Le litir an 11 Deireadh Fómhair 2017, chuir an tAontas agus an Ríocht Aontaithe in iúl do Bhaill eile EDT go raibh sé ar intinn acu go ndéanfadh an Ríocht Aontaithe, ar fhágáil an Aontais di, a cuid oibleagáidí reatha mar Bhallstát de chuid an Aontais a mhacasamhlú, a mhéid is féidir léi, ina sceideal nua lamháltas agus ceangaltas leithleach maidir le trádáil in earraí.
By letter of 11 October 2017, the Union and the United Kingdom informed the other WTO Members that it was their intention that, upon leaving the Union, the United Kingdom would replicate to the extent possible its current obligations as a Member State of the Union in its new, separate, schedule of concessions and commitments on trade in goods.
I gcomhréir le rialacha EDT, ní mór an chionroinnt sin a dhéanfar ar chuótaí rátaí taraife atá mar chuid de sceideal lamháltas agus ceangaltas an Aontais a chur i gcrích i gcomhréir le hAirteagal XXVIII den Chomhaontú Ginearálta um Tharaifí agus Thrádáil, 1994 (CGTT 1994).
In line with the WTO rules, such apportionment of tariff rate quotas that are part of the schedule of concessions and commitments of the Union will have to occur in accordance with Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994).
I bhfianaise na dteorainneacha ama a fhorchuirtear ar an bpróiseas sin leis an gcaibidlíocht faoi tharraingt siar na Ríochta Aontaithe ón Aontas, áfach, d’fhéadfadh sé nach dtabharfaí i gcrích comhaontuithe leis na Baill EDT go léir lena mbaineann maidir leis na cuótaí rátaí taraife go léir ar an dáta a scoirfidh sceideal EDT lamháltas agus ceangaltas an Aontais maidir le trádáil in earraí d’fheidhm a bheith aige maidir leis an Ríocht Aontaithe.
However, given the time limits imposed on this process by the negotiations on the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the Union, it is possible that agreements might not be concluded with all WTO Members concerned in relation to all of the tariff rate quotas on the date the Union’s WTO schedule of concessions and commitments on trade in goods ceases to apply to the United Kingdom.
Á chur san áireamh na ceanglais nós imeachta atá ag an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach agus an gá le gníomhartha cur chun feidhme a ghlacadh ina dhiaidh sin chun an Rialachán seo a chur i bhfeidhm, ar thaobh amháin, agus an riachtanas go mbeadh na cuótaí rátaí taraife cionroinnte ann agus réidh le cur i bhfeidhm ag an nóiméad nach gcumhdódh sceideal lamháltas agus ceangaltas an Aontais an Ríocht Aontaithe a thuilleadh, a d’fhéadadh a bheith chomh luath le 30 Márta 2019, ar an taobh eile, tá sé riachtanach go dtiocfaidh an Rialachán seo i bhfeidhm a luaithe is féidir,
Taking into account the procedural requirements of the ordinary legislative procedure and the need to subsequently adopt implementing acts for the application of this Regulation on the one hand, and the necessity to have the apportioned tariff rate quotas in place and ready to be applied at the moment that the United Kingdom ceases to be covered by the schedule of concessions and commitments of the Union, which could be as early as 30 March 2019, on the other hand, it is essential for this Regulation to enter into force as soon as possible,
Déanfar na cuótaí rátaí taraife a áirítear i sceideal lamháltas agus ceangaltas an Aontais a ghabhann leis an gComhaontú Ginearálta um Tharaifí agus Trádáil, 1994 (“CGTT 1994”) a chionroinnt ar an Aontas Eorpach agus ar Ríocht Aontaithe na Breataine Móire agus Thuaisceart Éireann (“an Ríocht Aontaithe”) i gcomhréir leis an modheolaíocht seo a leanas:
The tariff rate quotas included in the schedule of concessions and commitments of the Union annexed to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994) shall be apportioned between the Union and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the ‘United Kingdom’) in line with the following methodology:
Chun críche cuótaí rátaí taraife a áirítear i sceideal lamháltas agus ceangaltas an Aontais a chionroinnt tar éis tharraingt siar na Ríochta Aontaithe ón Aontas, agus comhsheasmhacht leis an modheolaíocht dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 1(1) de Rialachán (AE) 2019/216 ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus ón gComhairle á háirithiú agus, go háirithe, á áirithiú nach rachaidh an rochtain ar an margadh isteach san Aontas arna chomhdhéanamh tar éis tharraingt siar na Ríochta Aontaithe thar an méid atá léirithe i sciar na sreafaí trádála le linn na tréimhse ionadaíche, tugtar an chumhacht don Choimisiún gníomhartha tarmligthe a ghlacadh i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 10b chun Iarscríbhinn I a ghabhann leis an Rialachán seo a leasú chun an méid seo a leanas a chur san áireamh:
For the purpose of apportioning tariff rate quotas included in the schedule of concessions and commitments of the Union following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union and while ensuring consistency with the methodology referred to in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 of the European Parliament and of the Council and, in particular, ensuring that the market access into the Union as composed after the withdrawal of the United Kingdom does not exceed that which is reflected in the share of trade flows during a representative period, the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 10b to amend Annex I to this Regulation in order to take account of the following:
Tagraíonn taraifchuótaí EDT atá ann cheana, mar a shainítear in Airteagal GOODS.18 den Chomhaontú, do lamháltais EDT an Aontais a áirítear i ndréachtsceideal AE28 de lamháltais agus gealltanais faoi GATT 1994 arna gcur faoi bhráid EDT le doiciméad G/MA/TAR/RS/506 mar a leasaítear le doiciméid G/MA/TAR/RS/506/Add.1 agus G/MA/TAR/RS/506/Add.2.
The existing WTO tariff quotas as defined in Article GOODS.18 of the Agreement refer to WTO concessions of the Union included in the draft EU28 schedule of concessions and commitments under GATT 1994 submitted to the WTO in document G/MA/TAR/RS/506 as amended by documents G/MA/TAR/RS/506/Add.1 and G/MA/TAR/RS/506/Add.2.
Chun críocha mhír 1, ciallaíonn ‘taraif-chuótaí EDT atá ann cheana’ na taraif-chuótaí sin ar lamháltais EDT de chuid an Aontais iad atá san áireamh i ndréachtsceideal AE28 de lamháltais agus ceangaltais faoi GATT 1994 a cuireadh faoi bhráid EDT sa doiciméad G/MA/TAR/RS/506 arna leasú leis na doiciméid G/MA/TAR/RS/506/Add.1 agus G/MA/TAR/RS/506/Add.2.
For the purposes of paragraph 1, "existing WTO TRQs" means those tariff rate quotas which are WTO concessions of the European Union included in the draft EU28 schedule of concessions and commitments under GATT 1994 submitted to the WTO in document G/MA/TAR/RS/506 as amended by documents G/MA/TAR/RS/506/Add.1 and G/MA/TAR/RS/506/Add.2.
Tagraíonn taraif-chuótaí EDT atá ann cheana, mar a shainítear sa Chomhaontú, do lamháltais EDT an Aontais a áirítear i ndréachtsceideal AE28 de lamháltais agus gealltanais faoi CGTT 1994 arna gcur faoi bhráid EDT le doiciméad G/MA/TAR/RS/506 mar a leasaítear le doiciméid G/MA/TAR/RS/506/Add.1 agus G/MA/TAR/RS/506/Add.2.
The existing WTO tariff quotas as defined in the Agreement refer to WTO concessions of the Union included in the draft EU28 schedule of concessions and commitments under GATT 1994 submitted to the WTO in document G/MA/TAR/RS/506 as amended by documents G/MA/TAR/RS/506/Add.1 and G/MA/TAR/RS/506/Add.2.
Inscríobhadh na lamháltais sin, tráth an chinnidh coimirce, i gCuid I, Roinn II de Sceideal Lamháltas agus Gealltanas an Aontais Eorpaigh, atá deimhnithe mar Sceideal AE CLXXIII — an tAontas Eorpach an 1 Nollaig 2016, arna leasú.
These concessions were inscribed, at the time of the safeguard determination, in Part I, Section II of the European Union’s Schedule of Concessions and Commitments, certified as Schedule EU CLXXIII – European Union on 1 December 2016, as amended.
Mar thoradh ar na lamháltais sin atá inscríofa i Sceideal Lamháltas agus Gealltanas an Aontais Eorpaigh, atá i gceangal le GATT agus a ionchorpraíodh de bhun Airteagal II:7 de GATT 1994, bhí oibleagáidí a tabhaíodh faoi GATT 1994 ag an Aontas Eorpach tráth an chinnidh coimirce, go háirithe mar seo a leanas: Airteagal XI:1, lena dtoirmisctear srianta neamhtharaife ar allmhairiú na dtáirgí thuasluaite, agus, go tábhachtach, Airteagal II:1(a) agus Airteagal II:1(b), an chéad abairt agus an dara habairt, de CGTT 1994.
As a result of these concessions inscribed in the European Union’s Schedule of Concessions and Commitments, annexed to the GATT and incorporated pursuant to Article II:7 of the GATT 1994, the European Union had, at the time of the safeguard determination, obligations incurred under the GATT 1994 notably as follows: Article XI:1, prohibiting non-tariff restrictions on the importation of the above-listed products, and, importantly, Article II:1(a) and Article II:1(b), first and second sentences, of the GATT 1994.
Faoi Airteagal II:1(b), an chéad abairt, ní cheadaítear don Aontas, in éagmais eisceacht infheidhme, gnáthdhleachtanna custaim a fhorchur ar an táirge i gceist de bhreis ar na cinn a leagtar amach agus a fhoráiltear sa chuid ábhartha de Sceideal Lamháltas agus Gealltanas an Aontais, i.e. an ráta nialasach a luaitear thuas i gcás gach ceann de na línte taraife a chumhdaítear.
Under Article II:1(b), first sentence, the EU is not allowed, absent an applicable exception, to impose ordinary customs duties on the product in question in excess of those set forth and provided in the relevant part of the EU’s Schedule of Concessions and Commitments, i.e. the zero rate pointed out above for each of the tariff lines covered.
