GSP. If Service is being provided by Qwest at an In Region CyberCenter, then: (i) In Region connectivity to the global Internet is provided by a separate GSP pursuant to the contract between the GSP and Customer (“GSP Service”); (ii) if Customer orders new Ethernet Bandwidth pricing, then Customer must execute a new, separate GSP agreement between the GSP and Customer for the GSP Service; and (iii) a separate MRC for such GSP Services will appear on customer invoices; provided, however, the total Ethernet MRCs for the Hosting Service (i.e., the sum of the GSP MRCs plus the Qwest MRCs) shall equal those MRCs listed under the “Total Ethernet MRCs” column heading of the “Ethernet Pricing Tables,” which is set forth in the Order Form attached hereto (Attachment 1). The applicable MRCs for the GSP Service provided by the GSP listed under the “GSP MRC” column of the Order Form (Attachment 1) are solely for illustrative purposes and for the convenience of the Customer. If Service is not being provided by Qwest at an In Region CyberCenter, then the applicable MRCs (e.g., 1 year, 2 year, etc.) for the Hosting Service provided by Qwest shall be those listed under the “Total Ethernet MRCs” column heading of the “Ethernet Pricing Tables,” which is set forth in the Order Form (Attachment 1), and the GSP Services and MRCs do not apply.
GSP. The Generalised system of preferences is a system by means of which preferential tariffs are granted unilaterally to certain countries on a non-reciprocal basis. It was approved by GATT in 1971, allowing industrialised members to adopt one-way tariff preferences in favour of developing countries. The waiver was made more general and permanent in 1979 with adoption of so-called "Enabling Clause" allowing industrialised countries to implement measures extending "differential and more favourable treatment" to developing countries. The EU launched this preferential system in 1971, in order to help developing countries sell more of their products in the industrialised countries and build up their own industry. The preferences under the GSP are granted to exports of specific products from particular countries. GSP Plus created in - a new scheme for especially vulnerable countries with special development needs was 2005. It covers around 7200 products which can enter the EU duty free. The beneficiaries must meet a number of criteria including ratification and effective application of 27 key international conventions on sustainable development and good governance. To benefit from "GSP Plus" countries need to demonstrate that their economies are poorly diversified, and therefore dependent and vulnerable. Poor diversification and dependence is defined as meaning that the five largest sections of its GSP-covered imports to the Community must represent more than 75% of its total GSP-covered imports. GSP-covered imports from that country must also represent less than 1% of total EU imports under GSP. They also have to have ratified and effectively implemented the 16 core conventions on human and labour rights and 7 (out of 11) of the conventions related to good governance and the protection of the environment. In any case, the 27 conventions have to be ratified by the beneficiary countries by October 2008. Gulf Co-operation Council - see GCC H
