# of 27 June 2013

# amending Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain agricultural, fishery                        and industrial products (repealed)                     

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)It is in the interest of the Union to suspend totally the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on 80 new products which                              are currently not listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011(1). Those products should therefore be inserted in that Annex.

(2)It is no longer in the interest of the Union to maintain the suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for 15                              of the products which are currently listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011. Accordingly, those products should                              be deleted from that Annex.

(3)It is necessary to modify the product description of 22 suspensions in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 in order                              to take account of technical product developments and economic trends on the market as well as linguistic adaptations. Moreover,                              TARIC codes for eight products should be changed. In addition, for three products multiple classification is considered necessary                              whereas for 12 products double classification is no longer necessary.

(4)Those suspensions for which technical modifications are necessary should be deleted from the list of suspensions in the Annex                              to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 and should be reinserted in that list with new product descriptions, or new CN or TARIC codes.

(5)For three products it is in the interest of the Union to amend the date for their mandatory review in accordance with Article                              2(2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011. The reviewed suspensions should therefore be deleted from the list of suspensions                              in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 and reinserted in that list with new time limits for a mandatory review.

(6)In the interest of clarity, the modified entries should be marked with an asterisk in the lists of inserted and deleted suspensions                              set out in Annex I and Annex II to this Regulation.

(7)In view of their temporary nature, the suspensions listed in Annex I should be reviewed systematically, at the latest five                              years after their application or renewal. Moreover, closure of certain suspensions should be warranted at any time, as a result                              of a proposal of the Commission on the basis of a review carried out on the initiative of the Commission or at the request                              of one or more Member States, if it is no longer in the Union’s interest to maintain the suspensions, or due to technical                              product developments, changed circumstances or economic trends on the market.

(8)Since it is necessary that the suspensions laid down in this Regulation take effect from 1 July 2013, this Regulation should                              apply from that date and should enter into force immediately upon its publication in the *Official Journal of the European Union*.

(9)Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
