The agreement concluded in 1979 as a result of the multilateral trade
negotiations within- the GATT lays down, that the . first reduction of
customs duties arising from the concessions relating to certain products
of the^ chemical industry, must be made in the Common Customs ^ Tariff ( CCT )
on 1st July 1980 , the rdate of entry into force- for the United States of
the agreement relating to the implementation of Article VII of ,the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade .
This draft regulation is for the purpose of introducing this reduction
of duties by amending Regulation ( EEC ) No 950 / 68 of 28 June 1968 , last
amended by Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3000 / 79 of 20 December 1979 . These
amendments concern Chapters 29 , 32 and 39 of the CCT as well as the
Annex to the tariff ( heading No 29.23 ) .
It should be noted that the proposed amendments take into account the
rounding up or down t-o the " nearest first decimal , jt being understood
that the rate so rounded wi 11 not exceed the rate when not rounded by
more than 0.05% .     •
In order that the publication of these amendments may be made as early
as possible , the Commission requests the Council to deal with this
draft proposal for a regulation at one of its forthcoming meetings .
