         temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tarrif

 ---pagebreak---                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. By its Regulation No 30^f 1/82 of 15 November 1982 (1) the Council has
    suspended, on an autonomous basis, Common Customs Tariff duties for
    certain aeronautical products. These duty suspensions will expire on 30 June
     1983.
2. The Commission proposes a prolongation 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 regard to Regulation No 3041/82 of 15 November 1982, The Commission
      proposes amending the date 1 January 1973, appearing in the footnote to
      Annex II, into 7 May 1973, in order that the aeroplane Tristar may enjoy the
       benefit of tariff suspension measures.
       This amendment is justified by the fact that this aeroplane is no longer
       manufactured, and in consequence there will no longer be any deliveries of
       new aircraft of this type.
  4. With a view to the current GATT negotiations, concerning the possible
        extention   of   the  list of  aeronautic products    which  benefit   from   a
        contractu a l. and permanent exemption from customs duties, the validity of
        the proposed Regulation must be limited to 6 months.
   5. Attention is drawn to the fact that the Council Resolution of 27.6.1974
         simplifying the task of the customs administrations (03 C 79/74) requires the
         publication of the attached Regulation at least six weeks before its entry into
         force.
