Proclamation 6767 of February 3, 1995
To Amend the Generalized System of Preferences
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
1. Pursuant to sections 501 and 502 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended (``trade Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2461 and
2462), and having due regard for the eligibility
criteria set forth therein, I have determined that it
is appropriate to designate Armenia as a beneficiary
developing country for purposes of the Generalized
System of Preferences (GSP).
2. Pursuant to section 504(f) of the Trade Act (19
U.S.C. 2464(f)), I have determined that the per capita
gross national product of The Bahamas has exceeded the
applicable limit provided for in section 504(f).
Accordingly, pursuant to section 504(a) of the Trade
Act (19 U.S.C. 2464(a)), I have determined that it is
appropriate to suspend the designation of The Bahamas
as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the
GSP, and pursuant to section 504(f) of the Trade Act, I
have determined that it is appropriate to terminate
such designation.
3. Pursuant to section 504(f) of the Trade Act, I have
determined that the per capita gross national product
of Israel has exceeded the applicable limit provided
for in section 504(f). Accordingly, I have determined
that it is appropriate to terminate the designation of
Israel as a beneficiary developing country for purposes
of the GSP.
4. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483)
authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) the
substance of the provisions of that Act, and of other
acts affecting import treatment, and actions
thereunder.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the
United States of America, acting under the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, including but not limited to sections
501, 504, and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:
(1) General note 4(a) to the HTS, listing those
countries whose products are eligible for benefits of
the GSP, is modified by: (a) inserting ``Armenia'' in
alphabetical order in the list of independent
countries;
(b) deleting ``Bahamas, The'' and ``Israel'' from
the list of independent countries; and
(c) deleting ``Bahamas, The'' from the list of
Member Countries of the Caribbean Common Market, and
amending the heading of that list to read ``Member
Countries of the Caribbean Common Market (CARICOM),
except The Bahamas''.
(2) General note 4(d) to the HTS is modified as
provided in Annex I to this proclamation.
(3) Any provisions of previous proclamations and
Executive orders inconsistent with the provisions of
this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent
of such inconsistency. [[Page 7428]]
