Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) amending the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial and agricultural products
COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 06. 05. 1997 COM(97) 198 final Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION ŒO amending the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial and agricultural products (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. During the first quarter of this year, the Commission, assisted by the Economic Tariff Questions Group, has reviewed requests for temporary suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties presented to it by the Member States, including certain requests amending existing suspensions. 2. The attached proposal concerns certain industrial and agricultural products. 3. The requests for suspension relating to the above products were examined in the light of the criteria set out in the communication from the Commission to the Council and the Member States concerning autonomous tariff suspensions (see OJ C 235, 13. 9. 1989, p. 2). Following this review, the Commission considers that the suspension or reduction of duties is justified for the products listed in Annex I to the attached proposal for a Regulation. For the products listed in Annex II, on the other hand, it believes suspension is no longer in the Community's economic interests. The two annexes to this Regulation thus correspond respectively, to the list of products for which suspension is proposed, or for which the wording (including the nomenclature code) has to be changed, and the list of products removed from the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96. Amendments to the description of certain products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96, where they have become necessary, have been taken into account as follows: - addition to the nomenclature code for the product (listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96) in Annex II, - addition of the new amended product description in Annex I. 4. The period of validity of the proposed measure is unspecified, since its purpose is to amend the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/96, the period of validity of which is itself unspecified. ^ Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No /97 of 1997 amending the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial and agricultural products THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 125 5/96 ' temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certains industrial and agricultural products, as last amended by Regulation (EC)No2484/962, Whereas it is in the interest of the Community to suspend partially or totally the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for a number of new products not listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96, Whereas the products referred to in the said Regulation, for which it is no longer in the Community's interest to maintain suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties or for which it is necessary to amend the description in the light of technical developments, must be withdrawn from the list in the Annex thereto, Whereas, for the sake of clarity, products whose description require amendment should be regarded as new products, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: The products set out in Annex I to this Regulation shall be added to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96. The autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on these products shall be suspended at the rate indicated for each product. Article 1 The products for which the codes are set out in Annex II to this Regulation shall be removed from the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96. Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 Juli 1997. Article 3 This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Budget heading involved : Chapter 12 Article 120 FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2. Title of operation : Proposal for a Council Regulation amending the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial and agricultural products. 3. Legal basis : Article 28 of the EC Treaty. 4. Objective: Suspension of the CCT duties for the above products. 5. Measures aimed at prevention and protection: Checks on the end-use of some of the products covered by this Council Regulation will be carried out in accordance with Articles 291 to 304 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of the Community Customs Code. 6. Cost : In order to reduce the economic problems linked with the period of validity of previous Regulations, Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/961, at present in force, does not have a date marking the end of its period of validity. This proposal of Council Regulation contains only the amendments which must be made to the Annex to the existing Regulation in order to take account of the following: 1. new requests for suspension which have been presented and accepted; 2. technical developments in products or economic trends on the market, resulting in the lifting of certain existing suspensions; 3. amendments to nomenclature codes. Almost all these amendments take the form of two Annexes which contain, respectively, the list of new products, or products the description of which has been amended, and the list of products removed from the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96. Obviously, only the first two amendments have a financial impact. Annex I (addition): This Annex, in addition to the amendments resulting from a change in CN code, contains 74 new products. The uncollected duties corresponding to these suspensions, calculated on the basis of expected imports into the requesting Member State for 1997, total ECU 70. 1 million. The bulk of the revenue foregone, some ECU 46. 2 million, corresponds to imports under code 84733010*25 (mainly the new Intel processor replacing the Pentium Pro). On the basis of the existing statistics for the preceding years, it appears, however, that this amount must be increased by an average factor which may be estimated at 1. 8, to take account of imports into other Member States using the same suspensions. This means a loss of revenue of some ECU 125 million. 1 OJ LI58, 29 June 1996, p. 1. If The following table shows codes for which the estimated revenue foregone would exceed ECU 3 million: Nomenclature code Applicant MS imports (ECU million) Rate (%) on 1 July 1997 Duties (ECU million) 84733010*25 90069100*10 85424050*00 85340019*92 85229098*40 1400. 0 66. 6 31. 1 34. 8 36. 7 Annex II (withdrawal): 3. 3 5. 1 7. 0 5. 2 4. 7 46. 2 3. 4 2. 2 1. 8 1. 7 Duties with correction factor (ECU million) 83. 2 6. 1 3. 9 3. 3 3. 1 % of total (ECU 125 million) 66. 0 4. 9 3. 1 2. 6 2. 5 This Annex introduces the withdrawal of nine products for which the uncollected duties amounted in 1996 to ECU 2. 0 million, as determined from requests for suspension. The same correction factor of 1. 8 gives additional revenue of ECU 3. 6 million. Estimated cost of the present operation For the coming year, in the light of the approximate calculations made, the additional loss of revenue resulting from this Regulation may therefore be estimated at some ECU 122 million against a total loss estimated in 1997 at ECU 1 300 million2 corresponding to the suspension granted by the Regulation at present in force. The shortfall in traditional own resources will have to be made up by the Member States by topping up the GNP component. 2 Proposal for a Council Regulation, corresponding to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 '9 ISSN 0254-1475 COM(97) 198 final DOCUMENTS EN 02 03 10 01 Catalogue number : CB-CO-97-184-EN-C ISBN 92-78-19377-1 Office for Official Publications of the European Communities L-2985 Luxembourg oOO
