Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION amending Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain agricultural, fishery and industrial products /* COM/2013/0237 final - 2013/0125 (NLE) */


EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.           CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

The Commission, assisted by the Economic Tariff Questions Group (ETQG), has reviewed all requests for temporary suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties forwarded by the Member States. This proposal concerns a number of agricultural and industrial products. The suspension requests were examined in the light of the criteria set out in the Communication from the Commission concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas (OJ C 363, 13.12.2011, p. 6). Following this review, the Commission considers that the suspension of duties is justified for the products listed in Annex I of this proposal. Also, Annex I lists i) products for which the wording of their description had to be changed and ii) products for which a new CN or TARIC code became necessary, with their new description and/or CN – TARIC code.

Products for which tariff suspension is no longer in the Union's economic interests have to be withdrawn. Acordingly, Annex II lists the products removed from the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 and products for which the wording of their description had to be changed, or products for which a new CN or TARIC code became necessary, which are replaced by new description and/or codes in Annex I.

The proposal is in line with the trade, entreprise, development and external relations policies. Particularly, this proposal is not at the expense of countries enjoying a preferential trading agreement with the EU (e.g. GSP, ACP regime, candidate countries and potential candidates).

2.           RESULTS OF CONSULTATIONS WITH THE INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS

The Economic Tariff Questions Group, in which the competent authorities of all Member State are represented, was consulted. All listed suspensions correspond to agreements or compromises reached in the discussions of the group.

There was no mention of potentially serious risks with irreversible consequences.

This proposal will follow an inter-service consultation procedure and will be published after its adoption by the Council.

3.           LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL

The legal basis of this regulation proposal is Article 31 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

By virtue of Article 31 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas are approved by the Council acting by qualified majority on the basis of a Commission proposal, therefore a regulation is the appropriate instrument.

The proposal falls under the exclusive competence of the Union.

The proposal complies with the principle of proportionality as this set of measures is in line with the principles set out to simplify the procedures for the operators engaged in foreign trade and in accordance with the Commission communication concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas (C 363, 13.12.2011 p.6).

4.           BUDGETARY IMPLICATION

Uncollected customs duties of a total amount of approximately 33,4 Mio €/year. The effect on the traditional own resources of the budget is -25 Mio €/year (75% x 33,4 Mio €/year).

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

amending Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain agricultural, fishery 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)       It is in the interest of the Union to suspend totally the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on 80 new products currently not listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011[1]. Those products should therefore be inserted in that Annex.

(2)       It is no longer in the interest of the Union to maintain the suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for 14 of the products which are currently listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 with TARIC codes 2008 60 19 30, 2008 60 39 30, 2916 19 95 30, 2917 39 95 10, 2934 99 90 12, 3204 11 00 10, 3204 17 00 45, 3204 17 00 55, 3204 19 00 72, 3911 90 99 75, 8108 20 00 20, 8108 90 50 40, 8108 90 50 80, 8708 80 99 10 and 9405 40 39 30. Those products should therefore be deleted from that Annex.

(3)       It is necessary to modify the product description of 22 suspensions in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 in order to take account of technical product developments and economic trends on the market or linguistic adaptations. Moreover, TARIC codes for eight products should be changed. In addition, for three products multiple classification is considered necessary whereas for 12 products double classification is no longer necessary.

(4)       The suspensions for which technical modifications are necessary should be deleted from the list of suspensions in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 and should be reinserted in that list with new product descriptions, or new CN or TARIC codes.

(5)       For three products it is considered necessary, in the interest of the Union, to amend the date for their mandatory review. The reviewed suspensions should therefore be deleted from the list of suspensions in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 and reinserted in that list with new time limits for a mandatory review.

(6)       In the inerest of clarity, the modified entries should be marked with an asterisk in the lists of inserted and deleted suspensions set out in Annex I and Annex II to this Regulation.

(7)       In view of their temporary nature, the suspensions listed in Annex I should be reviewed systematically, at the latest five years after their application or renewal. Moreover, closure of certain suspensions should be warranted at any time, as a result of a proposal of the Commission on the basis of a review carried out on initiative of the Commission or on request of one or more Member States if the suspensions are no longer in the Union's interest to be maintained or due to technical product developments, to changed circumstances or to economic trends on the market.

(8)       Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(9)       Since the suspensions laid down in this Regulation have to take effect on 1 July 2013, this Regulation should apply from that date and should enter into enter into force immediately upon its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 is amended as follows:

(1) The rows for the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation are inserted.

(2) The rows for the products for which the CN and TARIC codes are set out in Annex II to this Regulation are deleted.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 July 2013.

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

Done at Brussels,

                                                                       For the Council

                                                                       The President

(*) Suspension relating to a product in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 for which the CN or TARIC code or the product description is modified by this Regulation.

LEGISLATIVE FINANCIAL STATEMENT

1.           NAME OF THE PROPOSAL:

Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011 suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain agricultural, fishery and industrial products

2.           BUDGET LINES:

Chapter and Article: Chapter 12, Article 120

Amount budgeted for the year 2013: 18 631 800 000 € (DB 2013)

3.           FINANCIAL IMPACT:

¨      Proposal has no financial implications

X       Proposal has no financial impact on expenditure but has a financial impact on revenue – the effect is as follows:

(€ million to one decimal place)

Budget line || Revenue[2] || 6 month period, starting dd/mm/aaaa || [Year: 2/2013]

Article 120 || Impact on own resources || 01/07/2013 || - 12,5

(€ million to one decimal place)

Situation following action

|| [2014 – 2017]

Article 120 || - 25 / year

4.           ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES

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 300 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

5.           OTHER REMARKS

This proposal contains 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 product developments and economic trends on the market resulting in the lifting of certain existing suspensions.

Addition

This Annex, in addition to the amendments resulting from description or code changes, contains 80 new products. The uncollected duties corresponding to these suspensions, calculated on the basis of requesting Member State projections for the period 2013 to 2017, amount to 20 Mio €/year.

On the basis of the existing statistics for preceding years, it would appear, however, necessary to increase this amount by an average factor, estimated at 1,8 to take account of imports into other Member States using the same suspensions. This means uncollected duties loss of revenue of some 36 Mio € /year.

Withdrawal:

14 products have been withdrawn from this Annex reflecting the reintroduction of customs duties. This represents an increase of 2,6 Mio € in resources, as estimated on the basis of 2012 statistics.

Estimated cost of this operation

On the basis of the above, the impact on the loss of revenue resulting from this Regulation may be estimated at 36 – 2,6 = 33,4 Mio € (gross amount, including collection costs) x 0,75 = 25 Mio €/year for the period 01.07.2013 - 31.12.2017.

[1]               OJ L 349, 31.12.2011, p. 1.

[2]               Regarding traditional own resources (agricultural duties, sugar levies, customs duties) the amounts indicated must be net amounts, i.e. gross amounts after deduction of 25 % of collection costs
