It is therefore in the interest of the Union to suspend the autonomous Common Customs Tariff (‘CCT’) duties on those products.\n(2)\nIt 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.\n(3)\nIt 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.\n(4)\nRegulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nIn 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, 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,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
