EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Thesubject ofthefollowing draft regulation isthetemporary
suspension ofduties intheCommon Customs Tariff foranumber of
industrial items ,asrequested bytheMember States .
Itispartly aprolongation andpartly anewmeasure .
Itseems appropriate totheCommission that aduty suspension is
justified forthegoods listed intheannex tothis ;regulation .
TheCommission proposes atotal suspension forthose products for
which Community production does notexist orisminimal .Apartial
suspension isproposed incases where theCommunity production covers
only apart oftherequirements .Therate ofthepartially suspended
ψ
duty depends ontheextent ofthepossible Community supply tothe
Community users .TheCommission isalso always looking fortheright
balance between theinterests ofthesuppliers ,users and the
consumers intheCommunity .
Italso takes into account theneed toprotect employment .
» three or
Theproposed measures areconfined to/sixmonths because ofthe
difficulties ofestimating theevolution ofthebasic factors .
For anumber ofitems forwhich theMember States also requested duty
suspensions theCommission does notpropose atariff measure because
thenecessary conditions arenotfulfilled .This concerns the
following items
