EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
A.
Atitsmeetings on26/27/28January 1977 theJoint Group
ofgovernment experts which meets under theaegis of .
theCommission tostudy economic problems relating totheCommon Customs
Tariff examined :
-theadvisability ofextending ,forcertain agricultural products ,the
suspensions ofduties which aredue -toexpire on30June 1977 ,and
-newapplications submitted bycertain Member States forthesuspension
ofcommon customs duties onagricultural products from 1July 1977 .
-Theapplications submitted concerned products inrespect ofwhich the
Member States concerned considered that aprovisional reduction of
autonomous duties intheCommon Customs Tariff wasjustified foreconomic
reasons ,owing tothenon-existence ofinadequacy ofproduction inthe
Community .
B.
Following therequests from Member States andafter examining them ,the
Commission hastaken into account theparticular economic situations
concerning theproducts inquestion .Thetable attached tothis Explanatory
Memorandum could serve toillustrate theeconomic situation inthis sector .
t
'The figures reflect thesituation only ofthose Member States which tabled
thesuspension request .There arenoCommunity statistics available and
theStatistical Office oftheCommission will notbeable tosupply figures
inthe foreseeable future .
1)Fish
TheCommunity sprocessing industry forfish is .potadequately supplied
byCommunity fishermen .Community catches arebecoming increasingly
smaller ,sothat some Member States have become dependent onlarge
quantities ofimports from third countries .Nevertheless ,theduties
applicable tothese fish (basic materials forpreservation inparticular )
reduce thecompetitiveness oftheindustries concerned .
Suspension ofduties areintended toenable theprocessing industry
tocompete with suppliers offinished products from third countries
whose prices aremore competitive .Inaddition ,suspensions ofduties
could check theconstant increase intheprices ofprocessed fish .

Asthis situation isnotexpected tochange inthene?r future ,duties ,
asageneral rule ,must besuspended foroneyear ,i.e. i'rom 1July
1977 to30June 1978 .
Inthecase ofsardines (Clupea pilchardus Walbaum ),suspension of
duty hasbeen requested onseasonal grounds fortheperiod 1September
1977 to31March 1978 .
Inthecase ofaost fishery products thecurrent suspension ofduties
which isduetoexpire on30June 1977 istobeprolonged .Inthe
case of'herringfillets, anewtariff measure is
tobeintroduced .
Forthis item theCommission proposes atotal suspension oncondition
that theexisting banonherring fishing intheNorth Sea isprolonged
from 1July to31December 1977 .
Oysters weighing nomore than 12geach ;oysters ofthe "Cassostrea
gigas "variety weighing more than 100geach
Asaresult ofpollution along theAtlantic coast inparticular ,a
very high mortality rate hasbeen recorded intheoyster farms .
Asittakes several years toreconstitute thefarms anddue .to
increased consumption ,itisimpossible atpresent toobtain sufficient
mother oysters andspat with asufficiently high 'resistance andafast
ofgrowth ontheCommunity market ;these products must therefore be
imported from third countries ,inparticular Japan andCanada .In
view ofthesituation itwould seem necessary toprolong thecurrent
total suspension ofduties until 30June 1978 *
Mushrooms ,bilberries androse-hips andCranberries
Theneeds oftheCommunity processing industry specially inGermany
forthese products must becovered byimports from third countries .

-3-
Customs protection does notseem necessary foreconomic reasons
because thehighwages forpicking theproducts make domestic "produc ™
tion impossible .Suspension ofduties will enable theCommunity'.s
processing industry tocompete with offers offinished products from
third countries whose prices aremore favourable .Itwould therefore
seem adequate toprolong thecurrent suspension ofduties -until
30June 1978 .
Dried red peppers
Dried redpeppers areused byUnited Kingdom processors inavariety of
prepared food products (particularly dried convenience meals ).Theimport
duty istherefore anunnecessary burden onproduction costs andincrease
food prices toconsumers .
Dried white Beans
Theneeds oftheCommunity forthese products .cannot becovered by
theCommunity harvest .Forthis reason ,theUnited Kingdom will have
tomeet itsneeds forthese vegetables byimports from third countries ,
specially inCanada andtheUSA .White dried beans were subject to
serious price increase in1976 andbecause oftheinadequacy ofthe
harvest ,these prices continue torise in1977 .Thesuspension of
theduty would allow theprocessing industry ofthis vegetable to
keep theeventual price rises down totheminimum ,in .line with the
desire tocontrol inflation .Inthese circumstances ,itwould seem
appropriate for theCommission toactupon theUnited Kingdom request
fortotal suspension oftheduty for 12months .
Dates
French packers found itdifficult toobtain supplies particularly
from Algeria and Tui'.i~n.Since these countries reserve their produc­
tion forlocal packer .aese products must beimported from other
third countries ,r*saresult ofthese supplies thepacking industry
hasbeen able tosurvive andensure asatisfactory level ofemployment
with jobs forapproximately 3,000 workers inaregion -theSouth -
where employment opportunities arevery limited .

-4-
Asthesituation isnotchanging ,theCommission considers.it necessary
toprolong until 30June 1978 thetotal suspension ofduties *
Φ
b)Itseems appropriate totheCommission toextend ,following therequest
oftheGerman Federal Republic ,this suspension ofcustoms duties to
frozen dates ,forwhich considerable requirements exist .
c)TheCommunity processing industry hastosupply itself with fresh
-ordried dates fortheproduction ofsauces ,pickles andvarious
types ofbakery products ,byimports from third countries .For
theBritish industry alone ,great quantities ofthis product are
imported annually from Iran andIraq .OneoftheMember States is
concerned that these dates may ,regretably ,beused foralcohol produc­
tion ,this canbeavoided byaspecial destination clause anda
strict control ofusebynational Administrations .Intheinterests
ofthecompetitiveness ofCommunity industry mentioned above ,it
.seems tobenowopportune tocontinue thetotal suspension currently
inforce ,forthis product foraperiod ofoneyear .
«
7)Saffron
There isonly minimal production ofthis product within theCommunity ,
butthere isnevertheless aprocessing industry ,particularly inFrance .
Given that during thepast newyears theprice ofimported saffron has
risen considerably ,there isadanger ofanincreasingly more marked
disaffection forsaffron becoming noticeable andconsequently theactivity
oftheprocessing industry ceasing .Itwould therefore seem desirable
toprolong until 30June 1978 thesuspension ofduty forthis product .
8)Ground paprika
This product ismixed with feeding stuffs forlaying hens and isnot
asubstitute foranyother agricultural product used forthesame
purpose .Community needs andspecially those ofGermany with regard <.
tothis product must becovered entirely byimports from third countries .
Intheinterests ofthecompetitiveness oftheCommunity 'sproduction
ofanimal feeding stuffs,' thecurrent total suspension ofduties must
beprolonged until 30June 1978 .

Inthis respect theCommission does notagree toproposing asuspension of
.duties forthese products atthis stage forthefollowing reasons :
Goods under item 1)
Present orfuture fishery negotiations should notbedisturbed bygranting aduty
suspension .
Goods under item 2)
Forthese goods theCommunity isgranting arestitution sothat aprolongation of
theduty suspension isnotappropriate .

CONCLUSION
TheCommission ,pursuant toArticle 43oftheTreaty proposed tothe
Council taking measures forsuspension ofcommon customs tariff duties
onproducts appearing intheAnnex tothis regulation .Formost of
these products thegovernment experts oftheMember States have already
shown unanimous agreement intheir preparatory work inthe"Economy
Tariff Problems "Group .Fortherest ,themechanism ofArticle 43
makes itpossible toadopting therequired measures byaqualified
majority .
