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, ii) products for which a new CN or TARIC code became necessary, with their new description and/or CN – TARIC code or iii) products which were reviewed and for which a new date for mandatory review was set.

Products for which suspension is no longer in the Union's economic interests have to be withdrawn.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 (2011/C 363/02).

4.           BUDGETARY IMPLICATION

Uncollected customs duties of a total amount of approximately 60,5 Mio €/year. The effect on the traditional own resources of the budget is -45,4 Mio €/year (75% x 60,5 Mio €/year).

2012/0302 (NLE)

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 a certain number of new products currently not listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011[1].

(2)       As it is no longer in the interest of the Union to maintain the suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for 39 of the products which are currently listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011, those products should be deleted.

(3)       It is necessary to modify the product description of 56 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 and also linguistic adaptations. Moreover, TARIC codes for two products should be changed. In addition, for three products double classification is considered necessary whereas for two products multiple classification is no longer necessary.

(4)       Those 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)       A number of products were reviewed by the Commission in accordance with Article 2(2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) No 1344/2011. It is in the interest of the Union to provide for a new mandatory review of those products. 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 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.

(7)       Since the suspensions laid down in this Regulation have to take effect on 1 January 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 January 2013.

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

Done at Brussels,

                                                                       For the Council

                                                                       The President

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] || 12 month period, starting dd/mm/aaaa || [Year: 2013]

Article 120 || Impact on own resources || 01/1/2013 || - 45,4

(€ million to one decimal place)

Situation following action

|| [2014 – 2017]

Article 120 || - 45,4 / 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, code changes or prolongations, contains 89 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 34 MEUR/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 a uncollected duties loss of revenue of some 61,2 MEUR /year.

Withdrawal:

38 products have been withdrawn from this Annex reflecting the reintroduction of customs duties. This represents an increase of MEUR 0,7 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 61,2 – 0,7 = 60,5 MEUR (gross amount, including collection costs) x 0,75 = 45,7 MEUR/year for the period 01.01.2013 - 31.12.2017.

[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
