 Regulation ( EEC ) 1301/ 75 of the Council temporarily suspending
 the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on a oertain number
 of industrial products ( l ), makes provision for a suspension up
 to the level of 8 $ for the period from 1 . 7^1975 "to 30.6.1976 for
 pinenes of subheading ex 29 . 01 C I.
 The government of the German Federal Republic has just made an
 urgent request for the total suspension of the Common Customs
Tariff duty on the goods in question , which are not be produced
 in the Community and which are used as the basic material in
 the manufacture of synthetic camphor .
Since a third country currently exports synthetic camphor to the
Community at a low price , the duty of 8      on pinenes risks putting
in danger the Community producers of synthetic camphor , while a
total suspension of customs duty on pinenes could allow the Com­
munity processing industry to obtain supplies of this basic ma­
terial tinder more favourable conditions and to maintain its com­
petitiveness in relation to suppliers of the finished product .
The national experts meeting under the aegis of the Commission in
the "Economic Tariff Problems" Group , unanimously approved this
request for suspension .
The Commission considers that , in the circumstances , it is neces­
sary to suspend totally for the period from 1.12.1975'to 30.6.1976
the Common Customs Tariff duty on pinenes as shown in the attached
Regulation *
