(a) Deacriptlon of State enterprises being maintained

There are four instrumentalities coming within the framework of Commonwealth responsibility which engage in import and/or export trade. These are -

Australian Wheat Board

Australian Dairy Produce Board

Australian Egg Board

Commonwealth Mica Pool

' In addition complementary Commonwealth and Queensland legislation places the Queensland Sugar Board in a privileged position in relation to the export of sugar*

A brief summary of the principal functions of these four Commonwealth instrumentalities, and the Queensland Sugar Board, together with statistics Of production and trade in the respective products, are provided in this notification. Copies of the basic legislation relating to the Commonwealth authorities are. also submitted.*•

A number of Boards are constituted under legislation of the States . of the Commonwealth for the purpose of arranging orderly marketing of various primary products.

These Boards usually operate on a co-operative basis end with a few exceptions, e.g. the N.S.W. Egg Marketing Board, Australian Barley Board, are concerned solely with domestic marketing. They are not maintained or established by the Government and do not, therefore, come within the provisions of Article XVTI.

In some instances State Boards act as agents or licensees for Commonwealth Boards for some purposes. Where this is the case it is referred to hereunder*

The full texts of this legislation are on file at the secretariat.

Under the 1956 Sugar Agreement (the test of which is annexed to the Sugar Agreement Aot 1956 (Commonwealth))the Queensland Government agrees to purchase all raw sugar manufactured from sugar cane grown in New South Wales in the period 1956 to 1961 and in fact does purchase all N.S.W. sugar* The Queensland Government thus acquires control of all raw sugar produced in Australia.

L/784/Md.l

Australie

The instrumentality through which the Queensland Government acts is the Sugar Board which is constituted under the Sugar Acquisition Act. This Board arranges with two companies, the Colonial Sugar Refining Co. Ltd., and the Millaquin Sugar Co. Ltd., to refine and sell sugar for the domestic market. Raw sugar in excess of domestic requirements is exported by the Board through the agency of the Colonial Sugar Refining Co. Ltd.

The net proceeds from domestic and export sales, after deduction of the Board's expenses, are distributed among sugar mills and growers in the proportion determined by a Central Cane Prices Board, also constituted under the Sugar Acquisition Act»

tinder the Customs Prohibited Export Regulations 1958 (Commonwealth) the export of sugar from the Commonwealth is prohibited except with the consent of the Minister for Primary Industry. Apart from ensuring the retention of sufficient sugar for domestic requirements, this prohibition is necessary: to enable compliance with export quota provisions of the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement and of the International Sugar Agreement.

AUSTRIA

Notification of 16 March 1958

(a) Description of State enterprises being maintained

State trading in Austria exists only in the form of three fiscal monopolies, in the case of tobacco, salt and brandy.

The tobacco monopoly is a fully effective monopoly. Imports of monopoly products (tobacco, whether or not manufactured or processed) may be effected by the monopoly administration alone. In its purchasing operations, the monopoly administration is guided by commercial considerations and takes into account consumer preference while conforming to the rule of nondiscrimination. .Austria being a touristic country, the monopoly administration ensures that fine tobacco is imported to meet the demand from foreign tourists. The monopoly administration pays the consumption tax (tax on tobacco and reconstruction tax) as well as the turnover tax on such tobacco when imported from abroad, as in the case of producta manufactured from imported raw"-'* "Si tobaccos admitted duty-free and blended with domestic manufactured products. The tobacco monopoly also provides for certain exemptions in the case of diplomatic personnel, passenger traffic and small frontier traffic. u .,_-.

The produots included in the monopoly are thus subject to the same . customs and fiscal treatment (consumption tax) as other imported goods»

The salt monopoly operates in the form of a production monopoly. However, the right to import is also reserved for the monopoly, but this is virtually of no consequence since in fact domestic production is sufficient to meet internal demand. Only small quantities of medicinal salts (pure sodium chloride used for injections or sea salt used in hydrotherapy) are imported by private firms» Such transactions are authorized on a nondiscriminatory basis, in the light of national requirements. In view of the use for which they are intended, such salts are frequently exempted from consumption tax (licence duty).

The right to import crude brandies and potable brandies (with the exception of rum, arrack, cognac and liqueurs) is also reserved for the monopoly. The monopoly grants import permits to private persons on a nondiscriminatory basis wherever there is domestic demand for such products.

^Permits are also granted liberally, in view of the fact that Austria la a, :; touristic country, for Imports of well-known foreign brandies which experience has shown to be very much in demand with foreign tourists; upon importation such products pay a compensatory tax in the form of a consumption tax equivalent to that levied on domestic brandies and the proceeds of the levy are paid into the monopoly.

! . •">

L/784/Md.l

Austria

To sum up, State trading, as operated under the three monopolies referred to above, affects only 1*54 per cent of Austria's total trade, and unmanufactured tobacco accounts for a large proportion of this percentage (see paragraph 2. statistical table). Moreover, the application of national monopoly regulations does not involve any open or hidden discriminatory or restrictive practices* The operation of the monopoly is based on purely commercial considerations*

I. Aktiobolaget Yin- & Spritoentralen (The Wine» and Spirit Go, Ltd) and Nya System Aktiebolagot (The New System Co» Ltd.)

In Sweden the trade in alcoholic beverages (liquor, wine and strong beer) is controlled by the Stato. The reasons aro principally of a temperance, political and financial nature. Trade is regulated in the first place by the "HuadrycksftJrsHljningsferordningen" (Law in respect of the selling of alcoholic beveragos) of 26 May 1954, A leading principle in the legislation is that private interest in profits shall bo excluded from the trade and that business shall be carried on in such a way that the disadvantages connected with the use of alcoholio beverages are restricted as much as possible.

The "RusdrycksfOrsaijningsfBrordningon" contains regulations concerning partly a wholesale oompany, partly a retail company, Tho right to do wholesale business is given to the Aktiebolagot- Vin- & Spritoentralen, the right as retailers to tho Nya Systemaktiobolaget. The two companies are organized as businoss enterprises whioh have agreements with the State for limited poriods. By theso agreements and by details in their statutes as to managing, profits, collecting of taxes, etc,, the State has reserved for itself the right of controlling influence on the management of the companies.

Potato raw-spirit is, in Sweden, produood at about 80 private distilleries, and spirit from cellulose sugar is made at several sulphite works, Tho production takes plaoe under the supervision monopolet. Regarding the import of tobaooo goods there is to some extent an exooption made from the monopoly right. Retail dealers, acceptod by the Tobaksmonopolet, are thus allowed to import such goods. Special machinery and tools for the manufacture of tobacco goods as well as cigarette-paper and cigaretto-holdors may be imported only by the Tobaksmonopolet or with the sanction of the authorities. The relations between the Tobaksmonopolet and the State aro rogulatod by an agreement of tho samo character as is describod above for the Vin- & Spritoentralen,

Tho retail trade in tobacco goods is carried on by private retailors. The prices aro fixed by the Tobaksmonopolot and include tho rates of taxatio decided by Parliament,

The rolovant decrees in this sphero of state monopoly activities are laid down in the Act of 11 Juno 1943 concoming State Monopoly of Manufacture and Import of Tobacco Goods,

8, French Exports of Wheat and Flour

Note: Only the quantities are shown. The reason Is that the ONIC does not sell directly on the world market, but makes grains intended for export available to private traders, by tender.

The sane applies to flour. The ONIC does .not act as a direct exporter; i t cakes the wheat available to the milling industry at a price near or equal to the average price reached under the tender procedure referred to above.

8. Exportations de blé et de farine effectuées par la France

Note: Seules les quantités ont été indiquées. En effet, l'ONIC n'est pas vendeur direct sur le •arche tondial, les céréales destinées à l'exportation étant cédées par cet organisée au cojiierce privé par vote d'adjudication»

I l M u t de «8ee pour les farines. L'ONIC n'agit pas en qualité d'exportateur direct; 11 set le.blé a la disposition de la meunerie à un prix voisin ou égal ao prix loyen d'adjudication susvisé.

I I I . Oilseeds and OH « Bearing Fruits

No valid Interpretation can be made of such statistics, since the crop of soft-edible-oil-producing seeds in the French Union and Metropolitan France nay f a l l short of the French requirements (for instance, in 1956) or nay, on the contrary, be in excess of such requirements (ai vas the case in 1958).

By way of Indication, I t «ay be noted that:

1. S.I.O.F.A.

(a) In 1956 about 80,000 tons of edible-oil-producing seeds vers inported, with a corresponding value of about 5,000 Billion francs; In 1957, 110,000 tons of seeds and 8,000 tons of o i l , with a value of about 9,500 million francs, while there will probably be no such imports In 1958. ,

(b) There have been no re-exports of imported products.

(c) In 1957, about 40,000 tons of oilseeds produced in the French Union were exported. In 1958 there will also be exports of such products.

(d) Production of soft-edible-oil-producing seeds in the French Union amounts to between 800,000 and 1 million tons of groundnuts in the shell, and between 150 and 200,000 tons of colza and other seeds in Metropolitan France.

2. S.U.O.F.U. (Soon to be S.I.L.H.)

(a) Imports of seeds and oils from abroad amounted to about 113,000 tons in 1956 with a corresponding value of 6,600 million francs, 130,000 tons (about 6,500 million francs) In 1957 and will amount to 140,000 tons (8,800 million francs) in 1958.

(b) There have been no re-exports of Imported products.

(o) There are no exports of linseed and linseed oi l (except occasionally very small quantities),

(d) Domestic production amounts to about 40,000 tons of linseed per annum.

III, 6ralnes et fruits oléagineux

Les statistiques du commerce et de la production ne peuvent donner lieu à one interprétation valable étant donné que les récoltes de graines oléagineuses fluides alimentaires en Union française et Métropole peuvent être insuffisantes pour couvrir les besoins français (en 1956, par exemple) ou au contraire ître excédentaires (en 1958 par exemple).

A titre indicatif on peut Indiquer:
