Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (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) 

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, are also  in preparation. 

3. 

Requests  for suspension re I ating  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  I isted  in the Annex  to the 

attached  draft  Regulation. 

4. 

As stated  in Article  1 of  the aforementioned Regulation, the proposed 

period of  validity  is 12 months.

FINANCIAL  RECORD 

Budget  line concerned  : Chap. 12 Art. 120 

Title of  the tariff measure concerned  : Proposal  for  a Council 

Regulation, temporarily  suspending  the autonomous  common  customs 

tariff  duties on a number  of products  for  the construction, 

maintenance  and repair  of  aircraft 

Legal  basis  : Art. 28 of  the Treaty 

4. 

Object i ve  : 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 1993, the  loss of  own  resources was 

expected  to be of  the order  of  55 600 000 ecus  (cf. P.E. COM(92) 

440 Of  26.10.1992) 

- 

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  1994,  the  loss 

of own  resources should  be of  the order  of  55 000 000 ecus.
