COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2021/1052
of 18 June 2021
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) |
In order to ensure a sufficient and uninterrupted supply of certain agricultural and industrial products which are not produced in the Union and thereby avoid any disturbances in the market for those products, Common Customs Tariff duties of the type referred to in Article 56(2), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) (‘CCT duties’) on those products have been suspended by Council Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 (2). Those products can be imported into the Union at reduced or zero duty rates. |
(2) |
The Union production of certain products that are not listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 is inadequate or non-existent. It is therefore in the interest of the Union to grant a complete suspension of the CCT duties on those products. |
(3) |
With a view to promoting integrated battery production in the Union in accordance with the communication from the Commission of 17 May 2018 entitled ‘Europe on the Move – Sustainable Mobility for Europe: safe, connected, and clean’, a partial suspension of the CCT duties should be granted in respect of certain products that are not listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013. The date for the mandatory review of those suspensions should be 31 December 2021, in order for that review to take into account the evolution of the battery sector in the Union. |
(4) |
It is necessary to amend the product description and classification for certain CCT duty suspensions listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 in order to take into account technical product developments and economic trends in the market. |
(5) |
It is no longer in the interest of the Union to maintain the suspension of CCT duties for certain products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013. The suspensions for those products should therefore be deleted. Furthermore, the suspension of CCT duties for certain products listed in that Annex should be deleted as a result of the implementation of the agreement in the form of the Declaration on the Expansion of Trade in Information Technology Products (3), which reduced the duty rate for the products concerned to zero. |
(6) |
Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(7) |
In order to avoid any interruption in the application of the autonomous tariff suspension scheme and to comply with the guidelines set out in the communication from the Commission of 13 December 2011 concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas, the changes provided for in this Regulation regarding the tariff suspensions for the products concerned should apply from 1 July 2021. This Regulation should therefore enter into force as a matter of urgency, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1

Article 2
