and Airbu.s during the year 1974
(flftbmitted to the Council by the Commission)

Explanatory r.Iemorandum
Council Regulation
(EEC)
No.3584/73
of28
December1973 (1)
on the tariff treatment of certain products intended for use. in the construction, mainte-nance and repair of aircraft provides, inter alia, for the total or p&Xtial suspension, as the case may be1 of the duties laid down in the CommonCustoms Tariff for a certain number of products intended to be used for the maintenance or repair of aeroplanes of an unladen weight exceeding
15.000
kg.v!i
th regard ·to the maintenance and repair of aeroplanes of this category which are constructed in the Corrmunity, the list of products admissible under this total or partial suspension is of greater importance when it concerns aeroplanes of types certified before 1 January1974
(or ofversions of these types vrhich do not differ fUndamentally from the former) than when it concerns aeroplanes of types certified after this date.
During discussions which were held at Council level prior to the adoption
of the Regulation referred to above, it was apparant that aeroplanes of types 1\.ercure and Ail'bus1 for which the certification was made after
1 January
1974,
necessitated for their manufacture a certain number ofproducts imported from third countries which are not included in the list of producto admissible under suspension measures when thoy are intended for
maintenance or repair of aeroplanes of types certified after
1
January1974•
This circumstance was covered in a statement written into the minutes of the meeting of the Council during which the Regulation in question was adopted.
This statement makes provision for "a supplementary list to be drawn up, at the earliest possible moment, of materials able to be imported under euspension of Cor.mon Customs Tariff duties when such products are intended for the maintenance and repair of aeroplanes of types constructed in the Community and certified after 1 January 1974".

This draft Regulation, which follows from the above mentioned statement,
completes the suspension measures laid down in Annex II., column 4 of
Regulation EEC n°
3584/73
for products intended to be used for the mainte-nance or repair of aeroplanes of types Eercure or Airbus. IThese measures, as those of Regulation ~ n°
3584/73
themselves, must terminate on 31 December1974•
This draft Regulation, based on Article 28 of the EEC Treaty, does not
require the Opinion of the European Parliament 1 nor that of the Economic and Social Committee.

concerns aeroplanes of types certified before 1 January
