isalso looking fortheright balance between the
interests ofthesuppliers ,users andtheconsumers inthe
Community .
Italso takes into account theneed toprotect employment .
Theproposed measures areinmost cases confined tosixmonths

basic factors .Inonecase theduty suspension isrestricted
totwomonth for seasonal reasons .
For anumber ofitems forwhich theMember States also requested
duty suspensions theCommission does notpropose atariff measure
