                             EXPLANATORY   MEMORANDUM
1 . By its regulation N° 153.5 / 82 of 17 Ma y 1982 ( 1 ) the Council has
     suspended , on an autonomous basis , Common Customs Tariff duties
     for certain aeronautical products . These duty suspensions will
     expire on 31 December 1982 .
2 . The Commission proposes a pronlongation of the current duty
     suspension for these products ( see annex of attached regulation ).
     In taking this action , the Commission has taken into consideration
     the interests of the aircraft companies and Community industries .
3 . With a view to the current GATT neqociations , concerning the possible
     extension of the list of aeronautic products which benefit from a
     contractual and permanent exemption from customs duties , the validity
     of the proposed regulation must be limited to 6 months .
4 . Attention is drawn to the fact that the Council Resolution of 27.6.1974
     simplyfying the task of the customs administrations ( OJ C 79 / 74 )
     requires the publication of the attached Regulation at least six weeks
     before its entry into force .
