Brussels,  24  11.1995 
COM(95)  589  final 

Proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EC) 

temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff 
duties on certain industrial products (in the chemical and 
allied sectors) 

(presented  by  the  Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1. 

2. 

3. 

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. 

The proposals for Regulations temporarily suspending the autonomous common 
customs tariff duties on fishery products and on other industrial products, are also in 
preparation. 

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.

Proposal for  a 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 

/95 

of 

1995 

temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duty on certain 
mdustrial products (in the chemical and allied 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  inadequate  or 
the  Community  and 
non-existent  within 
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  partially, 
particularly  because  of 
the  existence  of 
Community  production,  and  in  other  cases  to 
suspend them completely; 

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

in 

assessing 

Whereas,  taking  account  of  the  difficulties 
involved 
the 
accurately 
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, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

Article 1 

The  autonomous  Common  Customs  Tariff 
duties for the products listed in the Annex shall 
be suspended at the level indicated in respect of 
each of them. 

These suspensions  shall  apply  from  1 January 
to 30 June 1996. 

Article 2 

This  Regulation  shall  enter  into  force  on  1 
January 1996. 

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

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 
- 
-  new Member States' declarations in respect of new applications 

the period of validity of the Regulation (1.1.96 / 30.6.96) 

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 / 30.6.96V 

70 000 000 ECU
