COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMVIUNITIES 
C0M(91) 416 final 
Brussels, 31 October 1991 
Proposal for a 
^fN^II RFft'HATiON (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) 
i* j*- v\ 
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, have been presented already to the Council. 
3. Requests for suspension relating 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 listed in the Annex to the 
attached draft Regulation. 
4. As stated in Article 1 of the aforementioned draft Regulation, the 
proposed period of validity is 12 months.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 
of 199/ /9I 
temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on a number of 
products for the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic 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; 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 1992, 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. 
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 Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1992 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member 
States.

are 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 : Draft proposal for a Counci 
Regulation, temporarily suspending the autonomous common customs 
tariff duties on a number of products for the construction, 
maintenance and repair of aircraft 
3. Legal basis : Art. 28 of the Treaty 
4. Oblect ive : 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 1990, the loss of own resources was 
expected to be of the order of 56 750 000 ecus (cf. P.E. COM(90) 
502 of 18.10.1990) 
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 1992, the loss 
of own resources should be of the order of 59 600 000 ecus.
