Background

The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) is an instrument of the European Union’s (EU) trade policy. It grants tariff preferences to developing countries when importing goods into the EU. However, GSP Regulation (EU) No. 978/2012 provides for the suspension of granted tariff preferences under certain circumstances. This is the case when the average value of these goods imported into the EU from the GSP beneficiary country exceeds the thresholds listed in Annex VI of the said Regulation for three consecutive years. The thresholds are calculated as a percentage of the total value of imports of the same products into the EU from all GSP beneficiary countries.
