  "text": "Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1134\nof 20 June 2017\namending Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain agricultural and industrial products\nTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,\nHaving regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,\nHaving regard to the proposal from the European Commission,\nWhereas:\n(1)\nThe Union production of 69 agricultural and industrial products that are not listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 is inadequate or non-existent. It is, therefore, in the interest of the Union to completely suspend the autonomous Common Customs Tariff (‘CCT’) duties on those products.\n(2)\nIt is necessary to modify the conditions for 71 suspensions of autonomous CCT duties currently listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 in order to take into account technical product developments and economic trends on the market. Certain product classifications have been amended to allow the industry to fully benefit from the suspensions in force. Moreover, the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should be updated due to the need to align or clarify texts in some cases. The modified conditions relate to changes in the product description, classification or end-use requirements. The suspensions that require modifications should be deleted from the list of suspensions in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013, and the modified suspensions should be inserted into that list.\n(3)\nIt is no longer in the interest of the Union to maintain the suspension of autonomous CCT duties for two of the products that are currently listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013.\n(4)\nIn the interests of clarity, the entries modified by this Regulation should be marked with an asterisk.\n(5)\nRegulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nAs the changes regarding the suspensions for the products concerned provided for in this Regulation have to apply from 1 July 2017, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
