COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2018/914

of 25 June 2018

amending Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain agricultural and industrial products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

 

(1)

The Union production of 85 products that are not listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 (1) is not sufficient to cover the needs of Union industry. It is therefore in the interest of the Union to suspend the autonomous Common Customs Tariff (‘CCT’) duties on those products.

 

(2)

It is necessary to modify the conditions for the suspension of autonomous CCT duties for certain products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 in order to take into account technical developments in relation to products and economic trends on the market. In particular, for one suspension it is necessary to adapt the end-use requirements, for one other suspension the applicable duty rate should be amended, for 19 suspensions the description should be clarified or aligned, for 14 suspensions it is necessary to change the classification and for 18 suspensions the supplementary unit should be adapted.

 

(3)

It is no longer in the interest of the Union to maintain the suspension of autonomous CCT duties for five products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013. Suspensions for those products should therefore be deleted from that Annex.

 

(4)

Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.

 

(5)

In order to avoid any interruption of the application of the autonomous suspension scheme and to comply with the guidelines set out in the Communication from the Commission concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas (2), the changes provided for in this Regulation regarding the suspensions for the products concerned have to apply from 1 July 2018. This Regulation should therefore enter into force as a matter of urgency,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 is amended as follows:

 

(1)

all asterisks in the table and the endnote (*), containing the text ‘A newly introduced measure or a measure with amended conditions.’, are deleted;

 

(2)

in the table, the rows for the products for which the CN and TARIC codes are set out in Annex I to this Regulation are deleted;

 

(3)

the rows for the products listed in Annex II to this Regulation are inserted into the table according to the order of the CN and TARIC codes indicated in the first and second columns of that table, respectively.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 1 July 2018.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Luxembourg, 25 June 2018.
