ECのバナナ市場規則に関する法的問題


banana 2001年のバナナ市場規則

Council Regulation No. 216/2001 of 29 Januar 2001
(OJ 2001, L 31, p. 2)



 1998年7月に制定されたバナナ市場規則WTO法違反がDSBによって確認されたため(1999年5月のDSB報告書)、2001年1月、EU理事会は、再度、市場規則を改正している。新規則(No. 216/2001)は、紛争解当事国と協議した上で、ECが示した提案をまとめたものであるが、前文は以下のように定めている。

This will entail in particular the application to such imports of zero duty under the … tariff quotas.
