History of the Community GSP: The Development of a Common Policy
Abstract
Joint responsibility for tariff questions is fundamental to the EEC, under Chapter 1 of the Treaty of Rome. Responsibility for administering the Common External Tariff and for conducting tariff negotiations is placed on the Commission, and that for changing the level of tariffs on the Council. A question such as the extension of generalised preferences is thus clearly one which concerns the Community as a whole.
