                            COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )

1.  The subject of the following draft regulation is the temporary suspension
    of duties in the Common Customs Tariff for a number of industrial
    items , as requested by the Member States . It is a prolongation of
    an existing measure .
2.  It seems appropriate to the Commission that a duty suspension is
    justified for the goods Isited in the Annex to this regulation .
    The Commission proposes a total suspension for these products as
    Community production does not exist or is minimal . The Commission
    is also always looking for the right balanca between the interests
    of the suppliers , users and the customers in the Community .
    It also takes into account the need to protect employment .
3.  The proposed measures are confined to three month because of the
    difficulties of estimating the evolution of the basic factors .
4.  For a number of items for which the Member States also requested
    duty suspensions the Commission does not propose a tariff measure
    because the necessary conditions are not fulfilled . This concerns
    the following items :

Whereas it is in the Community’s interest to suspend the
autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties only partiauy
in certain cases , due particularly to the existence of
Community production , and to suspend them completely in
other cases ;
Whereas, taking account of the difficulties involved in
accurately assessing the development of the economic
situation in the sectors concerned in the near future , these                                 Article 2
