on the tariff treatment of certain products intended for use in the construction, maintenance and repair of aircraft

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, exceeding 15 000 kg, it is equally necessary to establish a list of products admissible to suspension of customs duties for the maintenance or repair of aeroplanes of that kind constructed in the Com Having regard to the Treaty establishing the munity; whereas, provided that account is taken of European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof, the current capacity of the Community industry, the arrangements should also Ibe continued whereby users of aircraft of an unladen weight exceeding Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by 15 000 kg constructed in third countries or the the Commission, previous construction o<f which in the Community has required a considerable quantity of products Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3074/75 of imported from third countries, may obtain supplies 17 November 1975 on the tariff treatment of certain of products necessary for the maintenance or repair products intended for use in the construction, main of such aircraft under suspension of Common tenance and repair of aircraft (1), supplemented by Customs Tariff duties ; Regulation (EEC) No 1300/75 (2), provides for the total or partial suspension as the case may be, of the duties laid down in the Common Customs Tariff for Whereas a limited number of products which are not a certain number of products which are intended to available in the Community are also essential for the be either incorporated in the construction of aero planes of an unladen weight exceeding 15 000 kg or maintenance or repair of certain types of aeroplanes and helicopters of an unladen weight exceeding used for the maintenance or repair of aeroplanes of 2 000 kg, but not exceeding 15 000 kg; whereas an unladen weight exceeding 15 000 kg or for aero Common Customs Tariff duties in respect of these planes or helicopters of an unladen weight exceeding products should accordingly be suspended; 2 000 kg but not exceeding 15 000 kg;

Whereas all these suspension measures will expire on 31 December 1976 ; Whereas provision should be made for the adap tation, in the light of advances in the technical capabilities of the Community aircraft industry and Whereas, having regard to the technical requirements of Community aircraft equipment industries, of the associated with the design of aeroplanes currently arrangements to be made concerning the application constructed in the Community, suspension measures of the Common Customs Tariff to products imported differentiated according to the type to which the from third countries for use in the construction, aeroplanes under consideration belong should be maintenance or repair of aircraft; whereas such maintained from 1 January 1977 in respect of adaptation could involve a review of arrangements produots intended for the construction of aerpplanes in force at relatively short intervals ; whereas it is of an unladen weight exceeding 15 000 kg in order therefore necessary to limit the period of application to take account, in each case, of the capabilities of of this Regulation to one year, the Community industry;

Whereas, in order to give full effect to the principles HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION : laid down for suspension of Common Customs Tariff duties in respect of certain products intended for the construction of aeroplanes of an unladen weight Article 1
