                                                                      Corv\
1 . In the first quarter of this year the Commission,         with the assistance of
    the Economic Tariff Problems Group, examined all the requests sent in by
    the Member States for temporary suspension of Common Customs Tariff duties ,
    including the requests for the renewal of suspensions at present in force .
2 . The proposal for a Regulation for the suspension of autonomous Common
    Customs Tariff duties on agricultural products has already been sent to the
    Council .       The   attached   proposal  covers   products    for   use   in  the
    construction , 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
    constantly borne in mind .
4 . Given the criteria listed above , the Commission feels that suspension of
    duty is justified for only those products li-sted in the Annex to the attached
    draft Regulation .
    The other products for which a request for suspension was made and which ,
    in the Commission 's view ,     are not eligible for suspension of duty since
    they do not meet the criteria mentioned above , are listed in point 7 below .
    The name of the Member State which requested the suspension is also shown .
5 . As stated in Article 1 of the draft Regulation , the proposal is for a
    period limited to six months , so as to return to the traditional annual
    rhythm for this type of product from 1 January 1989 .
6 . Particular attention is drawn to the fact that , in order to comply with the
    Council Resolution of 27 June 1974 concerning measures to be taken with a
    view to simplifying the task of the                     customs     administrations
    ( OJ C 79 of 8.7.1974, p.1 ), this Regulation must be published at least six
    weeks before coming into force .

      For fabrics used to manufacture chutes ( CN 5903 20 90 ) mentioned above ,

      products .   If , inthe light of these consultations , it transpired that there
      was no equivalent product in the Community , the Commission would make a
      proposal in the discussions in the Council to add such fabrics to the list
      annexed to the attached draft Regulation .

                 Economic Community , and in particular Article 28
                 thereof.
                  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
                  Whereas production of the products referred to in this
                  Regulation is at present inadequate or non-existent within
                  the Community and producers are thus unable to meet the
                   needs of user industries in the Community ;
                   Whereas it is in the Community 's interest                    to
                   suspend the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties
                 for these products completely ;
                  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
                   suspension measures should be taken only temporarily , by
                   fixing their period of validity by reference to the interests of
                   Community production ;
