 ---pagebreak---                                Motivation
 1 . The draft decision text , annexed hereto , aims primarily at the
     elimination of end-use control of hoops and strips for the manu­
     facture of tinplate ( subheading 73.12 B I ) since the duty rate
     applicable to these goods is the same as that for the other hoops
     and strips of subheading 73.12 B II ( i.e. 8 % ).
     This is achieved by deleting the cross reference in the subheading
     and its related end-use footnote .
 2 . The draft also aims to standardize Community Customs control of
     products eligible for preferential tariff duty rates by reason of
     their end use , particularly in shipbuilding , by extending to ECSC
     products the Regulations applicable to analogous products from within
     the EEC .
     To achieve this it is proposed to apply to iron and steel coils for
     re-rolling ( subheading 73.08 A ) the provisions of Regulation ( EEC )
     N° 1535 / 77 referred to under Article 2 and to materials for use in
* '     »                                                                   •
     shipbuilding - for which tariff preference was established by the
     decision cited in Article 1 - the provisions of Regulation ( EEC )
     N° 2695 / 77 referred to in Article 3 .
3 . Both the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature and the
     Joint Panel of Government Experts on Common Customs Tariff ( the
     latter having only been consulted in relation to subheading 73.12 B I )
     have pronounced themselves in favour of these . pro'posals .     .
