 ---pagebreak---                              EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. As a result of a request made by the authorities of Belgium, the Services of
   the Commission have examined with government experts the opportunity of
   opening a duty-free tariff quota for aniline, in order to meet a temporary
   shortfall in Community production during the second semester of 1989.
2. Following this examination it appears that a solution which envisages the
   opening of a duty-free tariff quota for this product, limited to 5 000
   tonnes for a period lasting until 31 December 1989 could be agreed un-
   animously by the Member States, without disturbing the Community market
   for the product in question.
   It is understood that during this period, the beneficiary user industries
   must strive for better utilization of Community production capacity, which
   should significantly increase.
   This is the purpose of the proposal.
                                                                                z

 Economic Community, and in particular Article 28
 thereof,
 Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
 Whereas Community supplies of
               aniline          currently depend on imports
 from third countries ; whereas it is in the Community's
 interest to suspend partially or totally the customs duties
 for the product in question, withintCommunity tariff                  Y a
 quota of an appropriate volume ; whereas in order not to
 jeopardize the           development prospects in respect of
 these products in the Community and to ensure an
 adequate supply to satisfy user industries, it is advisable to
 open this duty-free quota for the period unti L
