         Regulation (SEC ) No 3042/ 74 of the Council f of 18 November 1974 (l )»
on the tariff treatment of certain products intended for use in the construc­
tion, maintenance and repair of aircraft , suspended , inter alia , totally or
partially up to 31 December 1975 "the application of duties laid down in the
common customs tariff for a certain number of products intended for use in
the construction , maintenance and repair of aircraft of an unladen weight
exceeding 15*000 kg.
         However, it has become apparant that the list which appears in Annex I
to the above regulation should have added to it certain other products which
are not available in the Community and which are necessary for the construction
of aeroplanes of the "Concorde" type . Similarly , the list which appears in
Annex IX should have added to it these same products used in the maintenance >
or repair of the aeroplanes under consideration , or possibly other aeroplanes
of an unladen weight exceeding 15.000 leg.
         It would be highly desirable that these supplementary measures for
suspension of duties take effect from 1 July 1975 * To this end , pursuant to
the procedure laid down in the Council Resolution of 27 June 1974 (2 ), concerning
measures to be taken with a view to simplifying the tasks of the oustoms admi­
nistrations , it is necessary for these measures to be published in the Official
Journal of the European Communities at least six weeks before this date .
         This proposal for a regulation , based on Article 28 of the EEC Treaty,  .
requires neither the Opinion of the European Parliament nor that of the Economic
and Social Committee .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMuUITiTIES ,                                      i
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
and in particular Article 28 thereof ;
Having regard to the draft         for a regulation from the Commission ,
Whereas Regulation (EEC ) No . 3042/74 of "the Council of 18 November 1974* on
the tariff treatment of certain products intended for use in the construction ,
maintenance and repair of aircraft ( l ) provides inter alia , for the total or
partial suspension , as the case may be , of the duties laid down in the common
Customs tariff for a certain number of products intended to be incorporated ,
under customs control , for the purposes of construction , maintenance or repair ,
in aeroplanes of an unladen weight exceeding 15*000 kg;
Whereas it has become apparant that a certain number of other products which
are not currently available in the Community are also necessary for the construe
tion , maintenance or repair of aeroplanes of an unladen weight exceeding
15«000 kg and especially aeroplanes of the Concorde type ; whereas it is conse­
quently necessary , as far as may be appropriate , to suspend the common customs
tariff duties applicable to such products ; whereas for this purpose it is neces­
sary to make additions to Annexes I and II of Regulation (EEC ) No . 3042/74
with effect from 1 July 1975 »
