1.     By   its Regulation No 3016 / 79 of 18 December 1979 ( 1 ) the .
        Council has autonomously suspended the duties in the CCT
       on some aeronautical goods .    These suspensions expire on
       30 June 1980 .          -
                                                #
2.     The Commission proposes a prolongation of the present duty
       suspensions for the majority of these goods { see annex to
       the attached regulation ).
       In doing so the Commission has carefully weighed the interests
       of the airlines and of the producers in the Community .
3.     The International Agreement on trade in civil aircraft concluded
       within the GATT provides the non-application of duties . for many
       products intended for use. in the construction , maintenance and
       repair of aircraft .   The Commission therefore thinks that a v
       supplementary concession, by means of an autonomous duty suspen­
       sion , would not be advisable for those items listed in the Annex -
       to this Explanatory Memorandum .            ■
                                                           ■4 :
       Such a measure would jeopardize the interests of Community producers
       of aircraft equipment rather than be of advantage to other producers
       or airlines in the Community .    Thus , the Community producers of
       equipment would be without duty protection while their competitors
        in other signatory countries would furthermore benefit from a
       duty protection .   By means of the Committee 113 . the Commission
       shall tryto reach an increase in the scope of the Agreement on
       trade in civil aircraft with other signatories .
4.     The period of the application of the proposed regulation is limited "
       to six months .   Thus the difficulties of the running-in period of :
       the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft can be met at an early
       stage by a change of the attached regulation if necessary .
