COM(93) 574 final 
Brussels, 19 November 1993 
I. 
p Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
temporarily suspending the autonomous common customs tariff 
duties on a number of products for the construction, 
maintenance and repair of aircraft 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. In the third quarter of this year, the Commission, with the 
assistance of the Economic Tariff Questions Group, examined all 
requests, submitted by Member States, for temporary suspension of 
common customs tariff duties, including the requests for prolongation 
of the suspensions currently in force. 
The attached proposal concerns a number of products for the 
construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft. 
2. The proposals for Regulations temporarily suspending the autonomous 
common customs tariff duties on agricultural products and on other 
industrial products, are also in preparation. 
3. Requests for suspension re I ating 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. O.J. no. 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 I isted in the Annex to the 
attached draft Regulation. 
4. As stated in Article 1 of the aforementioned Regulation, the proposed 
period of validity is 12 months.

Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 
of 1993 /9: 
temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on a number of 
products intended for the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Havin)', regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, ami in paiticular Article 28 
thereof. situation in the sectors concerned m the near future, these 
suspension measures should be taken only temporarily, by 
fixing their period of validity by reference to the interests of 
Community production, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
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 to suspend the 
autonomous Common, Customs Tariff duties for this 
products completely; 
Whereas the decision for the suspension of these 
autonomous duties should be taken by the Community; 
Whereas, taking account of the difficulties involved in 
accurately assessing the development of the economic Article I 
From 1 January to 31 December 199^;the autonomous 
Common Customs Tariff dunes for the products listed in 
the Annex shall be totally suspended, provided that the said 
products are intended, on conditions to be determined by 
the competent authorities, for the construction, 
maintenance and repair of aircraft. 
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 19^. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member 
States. 
Done at Brussels, 1993.

FINANCIAL RECORD 
Budget line concerned : Chap. 12 Art. 120 
Title of the tariff measure concerned : Proposal for a Council 
Regulation, temporarily suspending the autonomous common customs 
tariff duties on a number of products for the construction, 
maintenance and repair of aircraft 
Legal basis : Art. 28 of the Treaty 
4. Object i ve : suspension of CCT duties on the abovementioned products 
5. Cost of this tariff-measure : to be borne by the EEC-budget .-
- For the same exercise in 1993, the loss of own resources was 
expected to be of the order of 55 600 000 ecus (cf. P.E. COM(92) 
440 Of 26.10.1992) 
- In contrast to the agricultural and chemical sectors, there are 
no real statistics upon which to base the amount of loss of own-
resources in the present sector. Hence, once again, any estimate 
has to be based on data supplied by some of the Member States. 
From such an estimate, it would appear that, for 1994, the loss 
of own resources should be of the order of 55 000 000 ecus.
