1. 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

•  Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

The Commission, assisted by the Economic Tariff Questions Group, has reviewed all 
the  requests  for  temporary  suspension  of  autonomous  Common  Customs  Tariff 
duties  presented  to  it  by  the  Member  States.  The  attached  proposal  concerns  a 
number of industrial products. Requests for suspension relating to the above products 
were  examined  in  the  light  of  the  criteria  set  out  in  the  Communication  from  the 
Commission  concerning  autonomous  tariff  suspensions  and  quotas  (see  OJ  C 128, 
25.4.1998,  p.  2).  Following  this  review,  the  Commission  considers  that  the 
suspension  of  duties  is  justified  for  the  products  listed  in  Annex  I  to  the  attached 
proposal for a Regulation. Products for which suspension is no longer in the Union's 
economic  interests  have  been  withdrawn.  Annex  I  to  this  Regulation  lists  the 
products  for  which  suspension  is  proposed,  or  the  new  descriptions  for  which  the 
wording  has  to  be  changed,  or  a  new  CN  or  TARIC  code  became  necessary  and 
Annex II list the products removed from the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 
and the product descriptions or new CN or TARIC codes which will be replaced by a 
new one mentioned in Annex I. 

•  General context 

It is in the interest of the Union to suspend totally the autonomous Common Customs 
Tariff  duties  for  a  number  of  new  products  not  listed  in  the  Annex  to  Council 
Regulation (EC) No 1255/96  temporarily  suspending  the  autonomous  Common 
Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial and agricultural products. 

•  Existing provisions in the area of the proposal 

Council  Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 
the  autonomous 
Common Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial and agricultural products as last 
modified by Council Regulation (EU) No 566/2010. 

temporarily  suspending 

•  Consistency with other policies and objectives of the Union 

The proposal is in line with the trade, entreprise, development and external relations 
policies.  Especially  this  proposal  is  not  at  the  expense  of  countries  enjoying  a 
preferential  trading  agreement  with  the  EU  (e.g.  GSP,  ACP  regime,  candidate  and 
potential candidate countries of the Western Balkans). 

2. 

RESULTS OF CONSULTATIONS WITH THE INTERESTED PARTIES AND 
IMPACT ASSESSMENTS 

•  Consultation of interested parties 

The  Economic  Tariff  Questions  Group  representing  the  industries  of  each  Member 
State was consulted. All listed suspensions correspond to agreement or compromise 
of the discussions inside the group.

   EN 

•  Collection and use of expertise 

There was no need for external expertise 

•  Impact assessment 

This proposal relieves Union industry from 24.1 MEUR duty/year and invigorates it 
in competition with industry from third countries supplying finished products into the 
Union  market.  It  is  in  accordance  with  the  principles  set  out  in  Commission 
Communication concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas. The proposed 
amendment  is  an  instrument  to  keep  and  provide  new  employment  within  the 
European Union. 

The proposal will undergo a consultation procedure. 

3. 

LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL 

•  Summary of the proposed action

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

of […] 

amending Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 temporarily suspending the autonomous 
Common Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial, agricultural and fishery products 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  on  the  Functioning  of  the  European  Union,  and  in  particular 
Article 31 thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

It is in the interest of the Union to suspend totally the autonomous Common Customs 
Tariff duties on a certain number of new products currently not listed in the Annex to 
Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/961. 

Seven  products  with  CN  and  TARIC  codes  2805 30 90 10,  2805 30 90 20, 
2825 50 00 10,  2933 79 00 40,  3908 90 00 20,  3920 62 19 88  and  8525 80 19 30 
currently  listed  in  the  Annex  to  Regulation  (EC)  No  1255/96  should  be  deleted 
because  it  is  no  longer  in  the  interest  of  the  Union  to  maintain  the  suspension  of 
autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for those products. 

It is necessary to modify the description of 18 suspensions in the Annex to Regulation 
(EC)  No  1255/96  in  order  to  take  account  of  technical  product  developments  and 
economic trends on the market. Those suspensions should be deleted from the list in 
that Annex and reinserted as new suspensions using new descriptions. Moreover, CN 
codes should be changed for 20 products and TARIC codes for 11 products. 

The  suspensions  for  which  those  technical  modifications  are  necessary  should  be 
deleted from the list of suspensions in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 and 
should be reinserted in that list using new product descriptions, new CN codes or new 
TARIC codes. 

(5) 

In the interest of clarity, the modified entries should be marked with an asterisk in the 
lists of inserted and deleted suspensions set out in this Regulation.

(7) 

(8) 

Experience has shown that it is necessary to provide an expiry date to the suspensions 
listed in Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 to ensure that account is taken of technological 
and economic changes. This should not exclude the premature termination of certain 
measures  or  their  continuation  beyond  that  period,  if  economic  justification  is 
provided,  in  accordance  with  the  principles  laid  down  in  the  Commission 
communication of 1998 concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas2. 

Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 should therefore be amended accordingly. 

Since  the  suspensions  laid  down  in  this  Regulation  have  to  take  effect  from 
1 January 2011, this Regulation should apply from the same date and enter into force 
immediately, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 is amended as follows: 

Article 1 

(1) 

(2) 

the rows for the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation are inserted; 

the rows for the products for which the CN and TARIC codes are set out in 
Annex II to this Regulation are deleted. 

Article 2 

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of 
the European Union. 

This Regulation shall apply from 1 January 2011. 

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

BUDGETARY IMPACT EXCLUSIVELY LIMITED TO THE REVENUE SIDE 

1. 

NAME OF THE PROPOSAL: 

Proposal  for  a  Council  Regulation  amending  Regulation  (EC)  No  1255/96 
temporarily  suspending  the  autonomous  Common  Customs  Tariff  duties  on  certain 
industrial, agricultural and fishery products

4. 

ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES 

Checks on the end-use of some of the products covered by this Council Regulation 
will be carried out in accordance with Articles 291 to 300 of Commission Regulation 
(EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of the Community 
Customs Code. 

5. 

OTHER REMARKS  

In order to avoid prolongation of suspensions which are no longer needed an expiry 
date  has  been  set  out.  Therefore  an  unnecessary  burden  to  the  budget  is  evaded, 
where these measures would be taken into account. 

This  proposal  contains  the  amendments  which  must  be  made  to  the  Annex  to  the 
existing Regulation in order to take account of the following: 

3 

Regarding  traditional  own  resources  (agricultural  duties,  sugar  levies,  customs  duties)  the  amounts 
indicated must be net amounts, i.e. gross amounts after deduction of 25 % of collection costs

2. 

new requests for suspension which have been presented and accepted; 

technical product developments and economic trends on the market resulting in 
the lifting of certain existing suspensions. 

Addition 

This  Annex,  in  addition  to  the  amendments  resulting  from  description  changes, 
contains  82  new  products.  The  uncollected  duties  corresponding 
these 
suspensions, calculated on the basis of expected imports into the requesting Member 
State for 2011 until 2015, total 18.0 MEUR /year. 

to 

On  the  basis  of  the  existing  statistics  for  the  preceding  years,  it  would  appear, 
however, that this amount must be increased by an average factor, estimated at 1.8, 
to  take  account  of  imports  into  other  Member  States  using  the  same  suspensions. 
This means a loss of revenue of some 32.4 MEUR /year. 

Withdrawal: 

3  products  have  been  withdrawn  from  this  annex  reflecting  the  reintroduction  of 
customs duties. This represents an increase of MEUR 0.3 in resources, as calculated 
from requests for suspension or available statistics (2009). 

Estimated cost of this operation 

Taking  available  statistics  (2009)  as  a  basis,  the  impact  on  the  loss  of  revenue 
resulting  from  this  Regulation  may  be  estimated  at  32.4 – 0.3 = 32.1 MEUR (gross 
amount, expenses incurred in collection included) x 0.75 = 24.1 MEUR/year for the 
period 01.01.2011 - 31.12.2015. 

The loss of revenue in Traditional Own Resources shall be compensated by Member 
States contributions based on the GNI.
