Proposal 

f or  a 

COUNCIl  REGULATION  (EC) 

temporarily suspending the autonomous common customs tariff 
duties on a number of products intended for the construction, 
maintenance and repair of aircraft 

(presented  by the Commission) 

<A 

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 fishery products and on other industrial products, are also in 

preparation. 

3. 

Requests for suspension relating to the atibve 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 jt 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 Regulation, the proposed period of 

validity is  12 months.

Proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 

of 

1994 

/94 

temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs TarifT duties on a number of 
products intended for the construction, maintenance and repair of  aircraft 

THE  COUNCIL  OF  THE  EUROPEAN 
UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the 
European  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; 

Whereas  the  decision  for  the  suspension  of 
these  autonomous  duties  should  be  taken  by 
the Community; 

development  of the  economic  situation  in the 
sectors  concerned  in  the  near  future,  these 
suspension  measures  should  be  taken  only 
temporarily,  by fixing their period  of validity 
by  reference  to  the  interests  of  Community 
production, 

*

From  1 January  to  31  December  1995,  the 
autonomous  Common  Customs  Tariff  duties 
for  the  products  listed  in the  Annex  shall  be

products  are  intended,  on  conditions  to  be 
determined  by  the  competent  authorities,  for 
the  construction,  maintenance  and  repair  of 
aircraft. 

Article 2

FINANCIAL RECORD 

1. 

Budget line concerned  :  Chap.  12 Art.  120 

2. 

Title of the tariff measure concerned  : Proposal for a Council Regulation, temporarily 

suspending the autonomous common customs tariff duties on a number of products 

intended for the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft 

3. 

4. 

Legal basis :  Art. 28 of the EC-Treaty 

Objective : suspension of CCT duties on the abovementioned products 

5. 

Cost of this tariff-measure  : to be borne by the EC-budget : 

For the same^ exercise in 1994, the loss of own resources was expected to be of 

the order of 55 000 000 ECU. 

This loss of revenue had been estimated using data provided by certain Member 

States.  However, from the first statistics available (1991 and 1992) it seems that 

the figure must be revised downwards.  From such an estimated for  1995, the loss 

of own resources for this sector should be of the order of 20 000 000 ECU.
