 ---pagebreak---                              EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 1. By its regulation N° 1177/83 of 16 May 1983 (1) the Council has sus­
     pended, on an autonomous basis, Common Customs Tariff duties for cer­
     tain products. These duty suspensions will expire on 31 December 1983.
  .
2 The Commission proposes a prolongation of the current duty suspension
     for these products (see annex of attached regulation). In taking this
     action, the Commission has taken into consideration the interests of
     the aircraft companies and Community industries.
3. With a view to the current GATT négociations, concerning the possible
     extension of the list of aeronautic products which benefit from a
     contractual and permanent exemption from customs duties, the validity
     of the proposed regulation must be limited to 6 months.
4. Attention is drawn to the fact that the Council Resolution of 27.6.1974
    simplyfying the task of the customs administrations (OJ C 79/74) requires
    the publication of the attached Regulation at least six weeks before its
    entry into force.
