Förslag till 
RÅDETS FÖRORDNING (EG) 
om tillfällig befrielse från autonoma tullar enligt Gemensamma tulltaxan för ett antal 
industriprodukter (inom de kemiska och närstående sektorerna) 
(framlagt av kommissionen) 

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 industrial products in the chemical and 
allied sectors. 
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 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 proposal for a Regulation. 
4. As stated in Article 1 of the aforementioned proposal for a Regulation, the proposed 
period of validity is 6 months.

Förslag 
RÅDETS FÖRORDNING (EG) nr /95 
avden 1995 
om tillfällig befrielse från autonoma tullar enligt Gemensamma tulltaxan för ett visst antal industriprodukter 
(inom de kemiska och närstående sektorerna) 
EUROPEISKA UNIONENS RÅD 
ANTAGIT DENNA FÖRORDNING HAR 
med beaktande av Fördraget om upprättandet av 
Europeiska gemenskapen, särskilt artikel 28 i 
detta, 
med beaktande av kommissionens förslag, och 
med beaktande av följande: 
Produktionen av de produkter som avses i denna 
förordning är för närvarande otillräcklig eller 
obefintlig inom gemenskapen. Producenterna kan 
därför inte täcka behovet hos 
användarindustrierna inom gemenskapen. 
Det ligger i gemenskapens intresse att endast 
införa partiell befrielse från autonoma tullar 
enligt Gemensamma tulltaxan i vissa 
fall,nämligen då det förekommer produktion i 
gemenskapen, och att införa fullständig befrielse i 
övriga fall. 
Beslut om befrielse från dessa autonoma tullar 
skall fettas av gemenskapen. Med tanke på svårigheterna att exakt uppskatta 
den kortsiktiga utvecklingen av den ekonomiska 
situationen för de berörda sektorerna bör 
bestämmelser om befrielse endast antas tillfälligt 
genom att deras giltighetstid fastställs med 
hänsyn till gemenskapsproduktionens intresse. 
HÄRIGENOM FÖRESKRIVS FÖLJANDE. 
Artikel 1 
De produkter som är upptagna i tabellen i bilagan 
skall tillfälligt befrias från de autonoma tullarna 
enligt Gemensamma tulltaxan till den nivå som 
anges för respektive produkt. 
Befrielsen skall gälla från och med 1 januari till 
och med 30 juni 1996. 
Artikel 2 
Denna förordning träder i kraft den 1 januari 
1996. 
Denna förordning är till alla delar bindande och direkt tillämplig i alla medlemsstater. 
Utfårdadi ,den 1995.

FINANCIAL RECORD 
1. Budget heading involved: Chap. 12, Article 120. 
2. Title of operation: Proposal for a Council Regulation temporarily suspending the 
autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial products (in the chemical 
and allied sectors). 
3. Legal basis: Article 28 of the EC Treaty. 
4. Objective of operation: Suspension of CCT duties for the above-mentioned products. 
5. Cost of the measure: 
- to be borne by the EC budget (in uncollected customs duties-UCD): 
The cost is difficult to estimate in advance, mainly because of the lack of recent 
Community statistics coupled with the arrival of the three new Member States for whom 
full economic data are not available. 
On the basis of : 
- latest available Eurostat statistics (year 1993) 
- Member States' declarations on use of suspensions 
- number of new or renewed suspensions (88) 
- reductions in customs duties as a result of the GATT agreement 
- the period of validity of the Regulation (1.1.96 / 30.6.96) 
- new Member States' declarations in respect of new applications 
the best estimate of UCD for 1996 would be 280 MECU. This measure would account 
for 1/4 of that sum (there are also two other regulations applicable for 1996). 
Estimated cost of this measure (1.1.96 / 30.6.96): 
70 000 000 ECU
