Whereas Regulation ( EEC ) No 3289 / 85 ( ! ) provided for the suspension of the duties laid down in the Common Whereas a limited number of products which are not Customs Tariff for a certain number of products which are available in the Community are also essential for the intended to be either incorporated in the construction of maintenance or repair of certain types of aeroplanes and aeroplanes of an unladen weight exceeding 15 000 helicopters of an unladen weight exceeding 2 000 kilograms or used for the maintenance or repair of kilograms but not exceeding 15 000 kilograms ; whereas aeroplanes of an unladen weight exceeding 15 000 Common Customs Tariff duties in respect of these kilograms or for aeroplanes or helicopters of an unladen products should accordingly be suspended ; weight exceeding 2 000 kilograms but not exceeding 15 000 kilograms; Whereas provision should be made for the adaptation , in the light of advances in the technical capabilities of the Whereas all these suspension measures will expire on Community aircraft industry and of Community aircraft 31 December 1986 ; equipment industries , of the arrangements to be made concerning the application of the Common Customs Tariff to products imported from third countries for use in the Whereas , having regard to the technical requirements construction , maintenance or repair of aircraft ; whereas associated with the design of aeroplanes currently such adaptation could involve a review of arrangements in constructed in the Community , suspension measures force at relatively short intervals ; whereas it is therefore differentiated according to the type to which the aeroplanes necessary to limit the period of application of this under consideration belong should be maintained from Regulation to twelve months, 1 January 1987 in respect of products intended for the construction of aeroplanes of an unladen weight exceeding 15 000 kilograms in order to take account , in each case , of the capabilities of the Community industry ; HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :

Whereas , in view of the principles laid down for suspension of Common Customs Tariff duties in respect of certain products intended for the construction of aeroplanes of an Article 1 unladen weight exceeding 15 000 kilograms , it is necessary to establish a list of products admissible to suspension of customs duties for the maintenance or repair of aeroplanes 1 . The Common Customs Tariff duties on the products listed in Annex I shall be suspended to the levels indicated in column 3 thereof provided that the said products are intended to be incorporated , on the conditions to be (>) OJ No L 319 , 29 . 11 . 1985 , p. 1 . determined by the competent authorities , in the

Article 3 2 . This Article shall also apply to the same products intended for the manufacture , on the conditions to be determined by the competent authorities , of parts necessary 1 . The Common Customs Tariff duties on the products for the construction of the aircraft concerned . listed in Annex III shall , provided that such products are intended to be incorporated , on the conditions to be determined by the competent authorities , in the maintenance or repair of aeroplanes and helicopters of an Article 2 unladen weight exceeding 2 000 kilograms but not exceeding 15 000 kilograms , which are listed in column 4 1 . The Common Customs Tariff duties on the products or 5 of that Annex , as the case may be , be suspended to the listed in Annex II shall be suspended to the level indicated levels indicated in column 3 . in column 3 or 4 thereof, as the case may be , provided that such products are intended to be incorporated , on the conditions to be determined by the competent authorities , in the maintenance or repair of aeroplanes of an unladen Article 4 weight exceeding 15 000 kilograms comprised in one or other of the categories specified in that Annex and , in For the purposes of Articles 2 ( 2), type of aeroplane shall respect of those in category B , in so far as the maintenance be taken to mean the prototype of that aeroplane and or repair relates to aeroplanes listed in column 5 of that versions derived directly from that prototype , except ver Annex . sions which differ fundamentally from the prototype .
