In November 2023, the European Union took a step to ensure the continued application of the Generalized Schemes of Preferences (GSP) Regulation (Regulation (EU) 978/2012) until the end of 2027. The current GSP framework was set to expire on December 31, 2023. However, an extension was deemed necessary as the European Parliament and the Council have not yet reached an agreement on the European Commission’s proposal for a new GSP regulation. Hence, the Council and the Parliament signed an amendment to the existing GSP Regulation, in order to extend the scheme for the period 2024-2027. This extension guarantees that GSP beneficiary countries will continue to enjoy tariff preferences for the period 2024-2027.

The European Commission put forth a proposal to extend the Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP) for the period 2024-2027, as the current EU GSP regulation is set to expire at the end of 2023. This extension of the current scheme is crucial to allow GSP and GSP+ beneficiaries to continue enjoying tariff preferences, as the Council and Parliament have not yet reached an agreement on the Commission's proposals to update GSP rules. The proposal for extension of the current GSP scheme is being discussed, with the aim to be adopted before the expiration of the current regulations. Find the official news HERE.
