                          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 fishery products and on other industrial products, are also in
   preparation.
3. Requests for suspension relating to the atibve 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 jt justifiable to suspend the
   duty on those products listed 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.

                                FINANCIAL RECORD
1. Budget line concerned : Chap. 12 Art. 120
2. Title of the tariff measure concerned : Proposal for a Council Regulation, temporarily
   suspending the autonomous common customs tariff duties on a number of products
   intended for the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft
3. Legal basis : Art. 28 of the EC-Treaty
4. Objective : suspension of CCT duties on the abovementioned products
5. Cost of this tariff-measure : to be borne by the EC-budget :
        For the same^ exercise in 1994, the loss of own resources was expected to be of
         the order of 55 000 000 ECU.
         This loss of revenue had been estimated using data provided by certain Member
         States. However, from the first statistics available (1991 and 1992) it seems that
        the figure must be revised downwards. From such an estimated for 1995, the loss
         of own resources for this sector should be of the order of 20 000 000 ECU.
