COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
C0M(94) 461 final 
Brussels, 28.10.1994 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIl REGULATION (EC) 
temporarily suspending the autonomous common customs tariff 
duties on a number of products intended for the construction, 
maintenance and repair of aircraft 
(presented by the Commission) 
<A 
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 fishery products and on other industrial products, are also in 
preparation. 
3. Requests for suspension relating to the atibve 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 jt justifiable to suspend the 
duty on those products listed 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. 
AïK 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 
of 1994 /94 
temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs TarifT duties on a number of 
products intended for the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft 
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 to 
suspend the autonomous Common Customs 
Tariff duties for these 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 situation in 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 of Community 
production, * 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
From 1 January to 31 December 1995, the 
autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties 
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 1995. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. 
Done at , 1994. 
For the Council 
The President 
Ah 
ANNEX 
List of products in respect of which Common Customs Tariff duties are totally suspended where such 
products arc intended for the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft of an unladen weight 
exceeding 2 000 kilograms 
Notes for the purpose of the following table: 
(a) Category A comprises aeroplanes of an unladen weight exceeding 15 000 kilograms 
other than those specified under (b); 
(b) Category B comprises aeroplanes of the following types: BAC 1-11, Airbus, 
Concorde, Mercure and F 28; 
(c) Category C comprises aeroplanes and helicopters of an unladen weight exceeding 2 000 
kilograms but not exceeding 15 000 kilograms. .—

FINANCIAL RECORD 
1. Budget line concerned : Chap. 12 Art. 120 
2. Title of the tariff measure concerned : Proposal for a Council Regulation, temporarily 
suspending the autonomous common customs tariff duties on a number of products 
intended for the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft 
3. Legal basis : Art. 28 of the EC-Treaty 
4. Objective : suspension of CCT duties on the abovementioned products 
5. Cost of this tariff-measure : to be borne by the EC-budget : 
For the same^ exercise in 1994, the loss of own resources was expected to be of 
the order of 55 000 000 ECU. 
This loss of revenue had been estimated using data provided by certain Member 
States. However, from the first statistics available (1991 and 1992) it seems that 
the figure must be revised downwards. From such an estimated for 1995, the loss 
of own resources for this sector should be of the order of 20 000 000 ECU.
