# of 24 June 2014

# amending Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain agricultural and industrial                        products                     

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 100 products which are                              currently not listed in Annex I to Council Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013(1). Those products should, therefore, be inserted into that Annex.

(2)It is no longer in the interest of the Union to maintain the suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on seven                              of the products that are currently listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013. Those products should, therefore, be                              deleted from that Annex.

(3)It is necessary to modify the product descriptions of 76 suspensions included in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 in                              order to take account of technical product developments, economic trends on the market or to carry out linguistic adaptations.                              Moreover, TARIC codes for four additional products should be amended. In addition, for three additional products, multiple                              classification is necessary. The suspensions in respect of which modifications are necessary should be deleted from the list                              of suspensions in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013, and the modified suspensions should be reinserted into that list.

(4)For four products it is necessary, in the interest of the Union, to amend the date for their mandatory review in order to                              allow duty free imports beyond that date. Those products have been reviewed and have been given revised dates for their next                              mandatory review. Therefore, they should be deleted from the list of suspensions in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013                              and, after the necessary modifications, be reintroduced into that list.

(5)It is necessary to re-group four products falling under four different product descriptions. Those four products should now                              fall under two product descriptions. Furthermore, the current double classification of the four suspensions relating to those                              four products has become superfluous and should therefore be amended. Those suspensions should therefore be deleted from the                              list of suspensions in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013, and the modified suspensions should be reinserted into that                              list.

(6)With a view to adequately ensuring the benefit of the suspension with regard to the competitive capacity of the enterprises                              concerned by products with TARIC code 4408 39 30 10, the suspension relating to those products should apply from 1 January                              2014.

(7)In the interest of clarity, the modified entries should be marked with an asterisk.

(8)Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should be completed with supplementary units for some of the new products for which                              suspensions are granted, in order to allow an appropriate statistical monitoring. For reasons of consistency, the supplementary                              units assigned to the products deleted from Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should also be deleted from Annex II to                              that Regulation.

(9)Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(10)Since the amendments pursuant to this Regulation must take effect from 1 July 2014, this Regulation should apply from that                              date and enter into force on the day of its publication in the *Official Journal of the European Union*,
