                         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 industrial products in the
   chemical and allied sectors.
2. The proposals for Regulations temporarily suspending the autonomous
   common customs tariff duties on agricultural products and on other
   industrial products, have been presented already 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. 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.
