1.   In the third quarter of this year, the Commission, with the assistance of the Economic
     Tariff Questions Group, examined all requests, submitted by Member States, for
     temporary suspension of common customs tariff duties, including the requests for
     prolongation of the suspensions currently in force.
     The attached proposal concerns a number of industrial products in the chemical and
     allied sectors.
2.   The proposals for Regulations temporarily suspending the autonomous common customs
     tariff duties on fishery products and on other industrial products, are also in
     preparation.
3.   Requests for suspension relating to the above products were examined in the light of the
     criteria defined in the Commission communication to the Council and the Member
     States, concerning autonomous tariff suspensions (cf. O.J. no. C 235 of 13.9.89, p. 2).
     As a result of this examination, the Commission deems it justifiable to suspend the duty
     on those products listed in the Annex to the attached proposal for a Regulation.
4.   As stated in Article 1 of the aforementioned proposal for a Regulation, the proposed
     period of validity is 6 months.

 ---pagebreak---                                    FINANCIAL RECORD

1. Budget heading involved: Chap. 12, Article 120.

2. Title of operation: Proposal for a Council Regulation temporarily suspending the
   autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial products (in the chemical
   and allied sectors).

3. Legal basis: Article 28 of the EC Treaty.

4. Objective of operation: Suspension of CCT duties for the above-mentioned products.

5. Cost of the measure:

   - to be borne by the EC budget (in uncollected customs duties-UCD):

   The cost is difficult to estimate in advance, mainly because of the lack of recent
   Community statistics coupled with the arrival of the three new Member States for whom
   full economic data are not available.

   On the basis of :

   -   latest available Eurostat statistics (year 1993)
   -   Member States' declarations on use of suspensions
   -   number of new or renewed suspensions (88)
   -   reductions in customs duties as a result of the GATT agreement
   -   the period of validity of the Regulation (1.1.96 / 30.6.96)
   -   new Member States' declarations in respect of new applications

   the best estimate of UCD for 1996 would be 280 MECU. This measure would account
   for 1/4 of that sum (there are also two other regulations applicable for 1996).

   Estimated cost of this measure (1.1.96 / 30.6.96):
