EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1. 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

The Commission, assisted by the Economic Tariff Questions Group (ETQG), has reviewed all 
requests for temporary suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties forwarded 
by  the  Member  States.  This  proposal  concerns  a  number  of  agricultural  and  industrial 
products.  The  suspension  requests  were  examined  in  the  light  of  the  criteria  set  out  in  the 
Communication from the Commission concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas 
(OJ  C 363,  13.12.2011,  p.  6).  Following  this  review,  the  Commission  considers  that  the 
suspension  of  duties  is  justified  for  the  products  listed  in  Annex  I  of  this  proposal.  Also, 
Annex I lists i) products for which the wording of their description had to be changed and ii) 
products for which a new CN or TARIC code became necessary, with their new description 
and/or CN – TARIC code. 

Products for which tariff suspension is no longer in the Union's economic interests have to be 
withdrawn.  Acordingly,  Annex  II  lists  the  products  removed  from  the  Annex  to 
Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 and products for which the wording of their description had to 
be  changed,  or  products  for  which  a  new  CN  or  TARIC  code  became  necessary,  which  are 
replaced by new description and/or codes in Annex I. 

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

2. 

RESULTS OF CONSULTATIONS WITH THE INTERESTED PARTIES AND 
IMPACT ASSESSMENTS 

The  Economic  Tariff  Questions  Group,  in  which  the  competent  authorities  of  all  Member 
State  are  represented,  was  consulted.  All  listed  suspensions  correspond  to  agreements  or 
compromises reached in the discussions of the group. 

There was no mention of potentially serious risks with irreversible consequences. 

This proposal will follow an inter-service consultation procedure and will be published after 
its adoption by the Council. 

3. 

LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL 

The legal basis of this regulation proposal is Article 31 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the 
European Union. 

By virtue of Article 31 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union autonomous 
tariff suspensions and quotas are approved by the Council acting by qualified majority on the 
basis of a Commission proposal, therefore a regulation is the appropriate instrument. 

The proposal falls under the exclusive competence of the Union.  

EN

   EN 

The proposal complies with the principle of proportionality as this set of measures is in line 
with  the  principles  set  out  to  simplify  the  procedures  for  the  operators  engaged  in  foreign 
trade and in accordance with the Commission communication concerning autonomous  tariff 
suspensions and quotas (C 363, 13.12.2011 p.6). 

4. 

BUDGETARY IMPLICATION  

Uncollected customs duties of a total amount of approximately 33,4 Mio €/year. The effect on 
the traditional own resources of the budget is -25 Mio €/year (75% x 33,4 Mio €/year).

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

amending Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 suspending the autonomous Common Customs 
Tariff duties on certain agricultural, fishery and industrial 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  80  new  products  currently  not  listed  in  the  Annex  to  Council 
Regulation (EU) No 1344/20111. Those products should therefore be inserted in that 
Annex. 

It is no longer in the interest of the Union to maintain the suspension of autonomous 
Common Customs Tariff duties for 14 of the products which are currently listed in the 
Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 with TARIC codes 2008 60 19 30, 2008 60 
39 30, 2916 19 95 30, 2917 39 95 10, 2934 99 90 12, 3204 11 00 10, 3204 17 00 45, 
3204 17 00 55, 3204 19 00 72, 3911 90 99 75, 8108 20 00 20, 8108 90 50 40, 8108 90 
50 80, 8708 80 99 10 and 9405 40 39 30. Those products should therefore be deleted 
from that Annex. 

It  is  necessary  to  modify  the  product  description  of  22  suspensions  in  the  Annex  to 
Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011  in  order  to  take  account  of  technical  product 
developments and economic trends on the market or linguistic adaptations. Moreover, 
TARIC  codes  for  eight  products  should  be  changed.  In  addition,  for  three  products 
multiple  classification  is  considered  necessary  whereas  for  12  products  double 
classification is no longer necessary. 

The  suspensions  for  which  technical  modifications  are  necessary  should  be  deleted 
from  the  list  of  suspensions  in  the  Annex  to  Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011  and 
should be reinserted in that list with new product descriptions, or new CN or TARIC 
codes.

(6) 

(7) 

For three products it is considered necessary, in the interest of the Union, to amend the 
date for their mandatory review. The reviewed suspensions should therefore be deleted 
from  the  list  of  suspensions  in  the  Annex  to  Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011  and 
reinserted in that list with new time limits for a mandatory review. 

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

In  view  of  their  temporary  nature,  the  suspensions  listed  in  Annex  I  should  be 
reviewed  systematically,  at  the  latest  five  years  after  their  application  or  renewal. 
Moreover, closure of certain suspensions should be warranted at any time, as a result 
of a proposal of the Commission on the basis of a review carried out on initiative of 
the Commission or on request of one or more Member States if the suspensions are no 
longer  in  the  Union's  interest  to  be  maintained  or  due  to  technical  product 
developments, to changed circumstances or to economic trends on the market. 

(8) 

Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly. 

(9) 

Since the suspensions laid down in this Regulation have to take effect on 1 July 2013, 
this  Regulation  should  apply  from  that  date  and  should  enter  into  enter  into  force 
immediately upon its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 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. 

It shall apply from 1 July 2013. 

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

OTHER REMARKS  

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

1. 

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  or  code 
changes,  contains  80  new  products.  The  uncollected  duties  corresponding  to  these 
suspensions, calculated on the basis of requesting Member State projections for the 
period 2013 to 2017, amount to 20 Mio €/year. 

On the basis of the existing statistics for preceding years, it would appear, however, 
necessary  to  increase  this  amount  by  an  average  factor,  estimated  at  1,8  to  take 
account of imports into other Member States using the same suspensions. This means 
uncollected duties loss of revenue of some 36 Mio € /year. 

Withdrawal: 

14  products  have  been  withdrawn  from  this  Annex  reflecting  the  reintroduction  of 
customs duties. This represents an increase of 2,6 Mio € in resources, as estimated on 
the basis of 2012 statistics. 

Estimated cost of this operation 

On  the  basis  of  the  above,  the  impact  on  the  loss  of  revenue  resulting  from  this 
Regulation  may  be  estimated  at  36 – 2,6 = 33,4 Mio  € (gross  amount,  including 
collection costs) x 0,75 = 25 Mio €/year for the period 01.07.2013 - 31.12.2017.
