COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 

COM(94) 565 final 

Brussels, 05.12.1994 

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION  (EC) 

temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff 

duty on certain industrial products 

(in the microelectronics and related sectors) 

(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1. 

In the third quarter of this year, the Commission, with the assistance of the Eco  rrn 

Tariff Questions Group, examined all requests, submitted by Austria, Finland, N  vw y 

and Sweden, for temporary suspension of common customs tariff duties. 

2. 

The attached proposal concerns certain industrial products in the microelectronics an j 

related sectors. 

The proposals for Regulations temporarily suspending the autonomous  common 

customs tariff duties on other industrial products in the micro-electronic  sector, 

corresponding to requests from Member states, will be presented later 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.  OJ n° 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 proposal for a 

regulation. 

4. 

As stated in Article  1 of the aforementioned  proposal for a  proposal for a regulation, 

the proposed period of validity is 6 months. 

A 

Proposal of a 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 

/94 

of 

1994 

temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duty on certain 
industrial products (in the microelectronics and related sectors) 

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 
the 
inadequate  or  non-existent  within 
Community  and  producers  are thus unable 
to meet  the  needs  of user  industries  in the 
Community; 

Whereas it is in the Community's interest in 
certain  cases  to  suspend  the  autonomous 
Common  Customs  Tariff  duties  only 
the 
partially,  particularly  because  of 
existence of Community production,  and in 
other cases to suspend them completely; 

Whereas  suspension  of  these  autonomous 
duties shall be decided by the Community; 

Whereas,  taking  account  of the  difficult its 
involved 
in  accurately  assessing  \[w. 
development  of  the  economic  situation  :.;i 
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  oi' 
Community production, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

Article J 

The autonomous  Common  Customs  Tariff 
duties  for  the  products  listed  in  the  table 
appearing in the Annex shall be  suspende 1 
at the  level indicated  in respect  of each v.f 
them. 

These  suspensions  shall  apply  fro;n 
January to 30 June 1995. 

Article 2 

This Regulation  shall enter  into force  c:\ } 
January 1995. 

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all 
Member States. 

Done at 

1994.

FINANCIAL RECORD 

1. 

Budget line concerned  : Chap.  12 Art.  120 

2. 

Title of the tariff measure concerned  :  Proposal for a Council Regulation, temp: :  ; l'y 

suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duty on certain industrial 

products (in the microelectronics and related  sectors) 

3. 

4. 

Legal basis : Art. 28 of the EC Treaty 

Objective  : Suspension of CCT duties on the above mentioned  products 

5. 

Cost of this tariff measure : 

to be borne by the EC-budget : 

Difficult  to estimate, due to lack of Community statistics. The products listed in the 

annex, for which suspension is requested, correspond to requests by Austria, Finland, 

Norway and Sweden. 

Hence, on the basis of the information  about the requested suspension and  the <• -/s 

supplied by the future  Member States, the cost of the operation can be indicated as 

follows: 

1. 

Cost of the exercise for the previous round : 

No  importations under corresponding suspensions. 

2.  Cost of the current exercise (1.1.95-30.6.95) 

About 5 million ECU's corresponding to 4 300 000 ECU's for the requesting 

countries and 700 000 (15 to  16 %) for Member states which will use the 

suspensions.
