1.      By its regulation N° 3184/80 of 18 November 1980 (!) the Council has
        suspended, on an autonomous basis, Common Customs Tariff duties for
        certain aeronautical products. These duty suspensions will expire on
        30 Oune 1981 .
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 a view to the current GATT negociations, 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
        simplifying 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.
