EXPUANATQkY MEMORANDUM
The agreement concluded in1979 asaresult ofthemultilateral trade
negotiations within -the GATT lays down ,that the .first reduction of
customs duties arising from the concessions relating tocertain products
ofthe ^chemical industry ,must bemade inthe Common Customs ^Tariff (CCT)
on1st July 1980,therdate ofentry into force -for the United States of
the agreement relating tothe implementation ofArticle VII of ,the General
Agreement onTariffs and Trade .
This draft regulation isforthe purpose ofintroducing this reduction

amendments concern Chapters 29,32and 39ofthe CCT aswell asthe
Annex tothetariff (heading No29.23 ).
Itshould benoted that the proposed amendments take into account the
rounding upordown t-othe "nearest first decimal ,jtbeing understood
that the rate sorounded wi11not exceed the rate when not rounded by
more than 0.05% . •
Inorder that the publication ofthese amendments may bemade asearly
aspossible ,the Commission requests the Council todeal with this
draft proposal for aregulation atone ofits forthcoming meetings .
