 ---pagebreak---                         EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The agreement concluded in 1979 as a result of the multilateral trade
negotiations within the GATT concerning trade in civil* aircraft lays
down that the relief from duty for goods intended for use in civil
aircraft shall also apply to such products when they are to be used
in ground flying trainers .
However ,, the relevant subheadings of the CCT refer only to goods " for
use in civil aircraft ".
The purpose of this proposal for a draft regulatipn is to better
reflect the intention of this agreement by adding a subparagraph 3
to paragraph B of the Preliminary Provisions , Section II , of the Annex
" Common Customs Tariff " of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 950/ 68 .
Moreover , this draft regulation aims , as far as the tariff is concerned ,
at a correct and efficient administration of the agreement 's - and arrange­
     ...          -                  .   _    ^
 ments concluded between the Community and a number of third countries
by introducing an Additional Note to . Chapters 60 and 61 respectively of
the Annex " Common Customs Tariff " of Regulation ( EEC ) No 950 / 68 , as
well as modifying in the aforesaid Annex , in the Danish version only , •
the texts of tariff subheadings 60.05 A II b ) 4 ff ), 60.05 A II b ) 4 gg )
61.01 B V c ) and 61.02 B II e ) 3 .
In order that the publication of these amendments may be made as early
as possible ,   the Commission requests the Council to deal with this
draft proposal for a regulation at one of its forthcoming       meetings . •
