                                  Proposal for a
                         REGULATION ( EEC ) OF THE COUNCIL
           on the total or partial suspension of Common Customs Tariff

COM(74 ) 1688 final
 ---pagebreak---                            EXP LAITATORY
( 1 ) The Additional Protocol and the Supplement ary Protocol concluded by
       the Community with Turkey provide for certain partial or total
       suspensions for agricultural products mentioned in Chapters 1-24
       of the Common Customs Tariff ,
       Furthermore , the Council has decided that as from 1 January 1974
       Turkey should not be treated less favourably than the countries
       and territories benefiting from generalised tariff preferences .
( 2 ) The proposal for a regulation is aimed at securing implementation
       of these decisions .    They extend to Turkey for 1975 » on an autonomous
       basis , the total or partial suspensions of duties proposed by the
        Commission under the generalised tariff preference     scheme ; these
        suspensions would , however , be confined to the products mentioned
        in Chapters 1 -. 24 } in respect of which no provision is made for
        more favourable treatment in the agreements with Turkey .
 ( 3 ) As the proposal for a regulation is based on Articles 43 and 113
        of the Treaty, the European Parliament has to be consulted .
 ( 4 ) It is pointed out that :
        – the proposal for a regulation is based on the Supplementary
          Protocol , which is not certain to enter into force on 1 January
          1975 ;
        – the enacting terms of the regulation and the list of products in
          annex to it are based on the proposal frowarded by the Commission
          to the Council concerning generalised tariff preferences for the
          agricultural products mentioned in Chapters 1-24 .
        This proposal will therefore have to be amended should the Supplement
        Protocol not come into force on 1 January 1975 » and will have to be
        harmonized with the final text of the regulation on suspensions under
        the generalised preference scheme when it has been adopted by the
        Council .
