In June 1974 , the Belgian government suhmitted a request to the Commission
for a total suspension of duty in the Common Customs Tariff on flight
simulators of the types Boeing 737 " Atkins and Merrill " and DC 10 " Link-
Miles", This request did not reoeive unanimous agreement aasongrt the Member
States, in the working groups concerned at-,Coafaiflaiea^aad Council level.-:-
                    ■ Γ.-3
As a result of this , the Belgian delegation limited its request to the
type DC " Link-Miles", which ia produced in the United Kingdom ,    It stated
          that only cne extxmple of this product was to "be imported .  The
Belgian delegation asked the Commission to submit to the Council at a
later date a draft Regulation allowing duty free importation of the goods
in question from the United Kingdom . At that time the ^Economic Questions"
group approved this conproaiics, with a waiting reservation by ono delegation
The Belgian delegation has now informed the Commission that it is
expected thai/ the flight simulator in question will oe imported during
June and July 1975 *
The Commission therefore proposes to the Council to suspend, "by virtue of
Article 28 of the Treaty of Rome , the autonomous duty of the Common Customs
Tariff from 5         the level of 4o % and then to suspend totally by virtue
of Article 33 paragraph 2 of the Act of Accession the customs duty applicabl
the . Community as ,originally constituted to importations fx-cm the new Member
Sates ,
This proposal is bsised on the following reasons ;
On the importation of a flight simulator from tha United Kingdom, a customs
duty of 2 % is at present applied, which increases the cost cf thi3 product
(about 136,000,000 FB) by 2,720,000 PB , However , given that the goods
in question are not produced in the Community as originally constituted,
customs protection in regard to the new Member States seems hardly opportune
The tariff measures proposed by the Commission are the subject of the dz-aft
Regulation , fenel the proposed -Regulation annexed hereto .
