COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1325/2013
of 9 December 2013
amending Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
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)
The Union market for jet fuel depends considerably on imports of jet fuel from third countries.
(2)
Although bilateral aviation agreements between Member States and third countries typically include provisions concerning duty relief for jet fuel, it is necessary to lay down common rules on duty relief for jet fuel in order to ensure clarity and uniformity in this regard, to provide legal certainty for operators and to avoid any distortion of competition resulting from differing practices and rules.
(3)
A significant part of jet fuel imports to the Union originates in countries that benefit from the scheme of generalised tariff preferences or have preferential access to the Union market, and thus the imports are duty-free.
(4)
With the application of tariff preferences in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) starting from 1 January 2014, a number of countries which are important exporters of jet fuel will cease to be beneficiaries of that preferential access to the Union market, and certain other exporting countries will not benefit from preferential access for certain product categories, including fuel, in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1213/2012 (2).
(5)
The imposition of customs duties on jet fuel from those suppliers would likely cause an increase in the price of jet fuel on the Union market as it is not economically viable for refineries in the Union to increase their production of aviation fuel to any significant degree.
(6)
It is therefore appropriate to suspend the autonomous rate of customs duty for jet fuel. The suspension should cover all products falling within CN code 2710 19 21. Taking into account possible future changes in the market situation of jet fuel, the suspension should be reviewed on the basis of an assessment within five years.
(7)
Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (3) should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, the text for CN code 2710 19 21 in column 3 of the table in Chapter 27 of Section V of Part Two, is replaced by the following:
‘4,7 (4)
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 52(2) thereof,

(2)
The purpose of the application is to amend the specification as regards the name, the product description, proof of origin, the method of production, labelling, national requirements and the contact details of the group and of the inspection authorities.
(3)

(4)
As no statement of objection under Article 51 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 has been received by the Commission, the amendments to the specification should be approved,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The amendments to the specification published in the Official Journal of the European Union regarding the name contained in the Annex to this Regulation are hereby approved.

of 28 August 2013

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,
