                          COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)

 ---pagebreak---                          EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
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 products for the
   construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft.
2. The proposals for Regulations temporarily suspending the autonomous
   common customs tariff duties on agricultural products and on other
    industrial products, are also in preparation.
3. Requests for suspension re I ating 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 I isted in the Annex to the
   attached draft Regulation.
4. As stated in Article 1 of the aforementioned Regulation, the proposed
   period of validity is 12 months.

      -   For the same exercise in 1993, the loss of own resources was
          expected to be of the order of 55 600 000 ecus (cf. P.E. COM(92)
          440 Of 26.10.1992)
      -    In contrast to the agricultural and chemical sectors, there are
          no real statistics upon which to base the amount of loss of own-
          resources in the present sector. Hence, once again, any estimate
          has to be based on data supplied by some of the Member States.
          From such an estimate, it would appear that, for 1994, the loss
          of own resources should be of the order of 55 000 000 ecus.
