 At its meetinge 26/ 27/ 28 January, 14/ 15/ 16 and 24/ 25 February and
  28/ 29      March 197 , the Joint Group of Government Experts which
 meets under the aegis of the Commission to Btudy economic problems
 relating to the Common Customs Tariff , examined l
  (a) the advisability of extending the suspensions of duties vhich '
       are due to eKpire on 30 June 197 7, and
  (b) new applications submitted by certain Member States for the
       suspension of Common Customs Tariff duties on certain producta
       as from 1 July 1977*
 The applications submitted relate to products in respect of which
  the Member Stateu concerned consider that a provisional reduction
 of autonomous duties in the Common Customs Tariff is justified for
 economic reasons , owing to the non-existence or inadequacy of produc­
 tion in the Community .
 Most of these products are raw materials intended for processing
 industries pr are considered as such . They are in particular basic
 substances for the chemical industry . Account was taken of the
 possibility of substituting other products already uanufacbuiced in
 the Community and of the importance to the Community of the proposed
 measure .
The above mentioned Group favoured unanimously the total off partial
suspension of duties .on the products which are the subject of thw
draft Regulation annexed hereto *
Having regard to the results of this work it appears appropriate
to the Commission to propers Co the Council the suspension of
Common Customs Tariff duties for the products listed in the •*•«»■ ■»*
to the following regulation*
 ---pagebreak--- As regards the duration for the proposed suspensions of duties,,
it will be seen that three month period from 1 July to 30 September
1977, a six month period from 1 July to 31 December 1977 or a
twelve month period from 1 July 1977 to 30 June 1978 is proposed
for the products concerned .
 The Group also examined the possibility of suspending the Common
 Customs Tariff duty on the products listed in the table annexed
 hereto . It was not possible to reach an unanimous opinion on the
 subject because of the unfavourable opinion#,, which were expressed
by one or other of the Member States .

      subheading ex 29.02 A III . At the meeting of the EEC / Israel Joint
    i Committee which took place from 3 to 7 June 1976 in Jerusalem
      the Israeli Government drew the attention of the Community delegation
      to its interest in developping its exports of these goods to the EEC .
      It declared that in its view a suspension of the CCT duty for this item
       is contrary to the spirit of the agreement of 11 May 1975 / as Israel it
      an important producer and able to cover totally the Community needs *
   ( 1 ) This request does however imply no legal commitment of the Community
           In regard to the maintenance of the preference .
