                                                                     Çr^kU
1. In the first quater of this year the Commission, with the assistance of the
   Economic Tariff Problems Group, examined all the requests submitted by the
   Member States for temporary suspension of common customs tariff duties, in-
   cluding requests for the prolongation of suspensions currently in force.
2. The proposal Tor aT Regulation for the suspension of autonomous common
   customs tariff duties on agricultural products has already been forwarded
   to the Council. The attached proposal covers products for use in the con-
   struction, maintenance and repair of aircraft. The proposal concerning
   other industrial products is being drawn up. It will shortly be sent to
   the Council.
3. As in the case of agricultural products, the principle followed, when
   examining the requests for suspension relating to aircraft, was to grant
   total suspension where Community production of the product in question is
   minimal or non-existent, and partial suspension where Community production
   only partially caters for Community requirements. For the latter, the rate
   of suspension varies according to the supply possibilities open to users
   within the Community.
   In this way, the Commission seeks to keep a balance between the interests
   of producers, users and consumers.
   Moreover, the need to safeguard jobs within the Community has been con-
   stantly borne in mind.
4. Given the criteria listed above, the Commission feels that suspension of
   duty is justified only for those products listed in the Annex to the
   attached draft Regulation. In this specific case, is sought a pure and
   simple prolongation of the suspensions currently in force.
5. As stated in Article 1 of the draft Regulation, the proposal will be valid
   for a period of 12 months.
6. Particular attention is drawn to the fact that, in order to apply it
   properly this Regulation must be published at least two months before
   entering into force.

                          products intended for the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,                          suspension measures should be taken only temporarily, by
                                                                  fixing their period of validity by reference to the interests of

Economic Community, and in particular Article 28
thereof,

 ---pagebreak---            Communication on the effect on competition and employment
1. The subject of the annexed draft proposal for a Regulation is the suspension
   of the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for certain products intended
   for the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft as requested by
   certain Member States.
2. In this manner, the needs of the user industries, including small and medium-
   sized companies, will be met.
3. Besides maintaining the competitive capacity of the said companies, this
   measure is likely to safeguard and/or improve employment.
