COM(94) 565 final 
Brussels, 05.12.1994 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 
temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff 
duty on certain industrial products 
(in the microelectronics and related sectors) 
(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. In the third quarter of this year, the Commission, with the assistance of the Eco rrn 
Tariff Questions Group, examined all requests, submitted by Austria, Finland, N vw y 
and Sweden, for temporary suspension of common customs tariff duties. 
2. The attached proposal concerns certain industrial products in the microelectronics an j 
related sectors. 
The proposals for Regulations temporarily suspending the autonomous common 
customs tariff duties on other industrial products in the micro-electronic sector, 
corresponding to requests from Member states, will be presented later to the Council 
3. Requests for suspension relating to the above products were examined in the light of 
the criteria defined in the Commission communication to the Council and the Member 
states, concerning autonomous tariff suspensions (cf. OJ n° C 235 of 13.9.89, p. 2) 
As a result of this examination, the Commission deems it justifiable to suspend the 
duty on those products listed in the Annex to the attached draft proposal for a 
regulation. 
4. As stated in Article 1 of the aforementioned proposal for a proposal for a regulation, 
the proposed period of validity is 6 months. 
A 
Proposal of a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 
of 1994 /94 
temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duty on certain 
industrial products (in the microelectronics and related sectors) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
UNION, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing 
the European Community, and in particular 
Article 28 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the 
Commission, 
Whereas production of the products 
referred to in this Regulation is at present 
inadequate or non-existent within the 
Community and producers are thus unable 
to meet the needs of user industries in the 
Community; 
Whereas it is in the Community's interest in 
certain cases to suspend the autonomous 
Common Customs Tariff duties only 
partially, particularly because of the 
existence of Community production, and in 
other cases to suspend them completely; 
Whereas suspension of these autonomous 
duties shall be decided by the Community; Whereas, taking account of the difficult its 
involved in accurately assessing \[w. 
development of the economic situation :.;i 
the sectors concerned in the near future, 
these suspension measures should be taken 
only temporarily, by fixing their period of 
validity by reference to the interests oi' 
Community production, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article J 
The autonomous Common Customs Tariff 
duties for the products listed in the table 
appearing in the Annex shall be suspende 1 
at the level indicated in respect of each v.f 
them. 
These suspensions shall apply fro;n 
January to 30 June 1995. 
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force c:\ } 
January 1995. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all 
Member States. 
Done at 1994. 
For the Council 
The President

FINANCIAL RECORD 
1. Budget line concerned : Chap. 12 Art. 120 
2. Title of the tariff measure concerned : Proposal for a Council Regulation, temp: : ; l'y 
suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duty on certain industrial 
products (in the microelectronics and related sectors) 
3. Legal basis : Art. 28 of the EC Treaty 
4. Objective : Suspension of CCT duties on the above mentioned products 
5. Cost of this tariff measure : 
to be borne by the EC-budget : 
Difficult to estimate, due to lack of Community statistics. The products listed in the 
annex, for which suspension is requested, correspond to requests by Austria, Finland, 
Norway and Sweden. 
Hence, on the basis of the information about the requested suspension and the <• -/s 
supplied by the future Member States, the cost of the operation can be indicated as 
follows: 
1. Cost of the exercise for the previous round : 
No importations under corresponding suspensions. 
2. Cost of the current exercise (1.1.95-30.6.95) 
About 5 million ECU's corresponding to 4 300 000 ECU's for the requesting 
countries and 700 000 (15 to 16 %) for Member states which will use the 
suspensions.
