only apart oftherequirements .Therate ofthepartially suspended
*
ducy depends ontheextent ofthepossible Community supply tothe
.. •Community users .TheCommission isalso always looking for theright
balance between theinterests ofthesuppliers ,users and the
consumers intheCommunity .
Italso takes into account the'need toprotect employment .
Theproposed measures areconfined tosixmonths because ofthe
difficulties ofestimating theevolution ofthebasic facto.rs .
Foranumber ofitems forwhich theMember States also requested duty
suspensions theCommission does notproposeatariff measure because
thenecessary conditions are'not fulfilled .This concerns the
following items .1 * •
