WHEREAS,
at the 11th Meeting of the AFTA Council held in Subang Jaya, Malaysia

NOW, THEREFORE, I, FIDEL V. RAMOS, President of the Philippines,

Section 1. The articles specifically listed in Annex
“A” (Articles Granted Concessions under the CEPT-AFTA) hereof as

amended, shall be subject to the ASEAN Common Effective Preferential
Tariff in accordance with the 1998-2003 schedule indicated in Columns
4-9 of Annex “A”. The CEPT rates so indicated shall be accorded to any
ASEAN Member State as soon as that country implements its CEPT tariff
reduction schedules on the articles specified in Annex “A” hereof.
Sec. 2. In the event that any subsequent changes
are made in the basic (MFN) Philippine rate of duty on any of the
articles listed in Annex “A” to a rate lower than the rate prescribed
in Columns 4-9, such article shall automatically be accorded the
corresponding reduced rate of duty.
Sec. 3. The Margins of Preference (MOPs) accorded
under the ASEAN Preferential Trading Arrangements shall no longer be
extended to any of the products listed in Annex “A” hereof.
Sec. 4. From the date of effectivity of this
Order, all articles listed in Annex “A” entered or withdrawn from
warehouses in the Philippines for consumption shall be imposed the
rates of duty therein prescribed subject to qualification under the
Rules of Origin as provided for in the Agreement on the CEPT Scheme for
the AFTA signed on 28 January 1992.
Sec. 5. All decrees, order, issuances, and rules
and regulations, or parts thereof, which are contrary to or
inconsistent with this Executive Order are hereby repealed, amended or
modified accordingly.
Sec. 6. This Executive Order shall take effect
immediately.
