Council Regulation (EU) 2015/802 of 19 May 2015 suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain heavy oils and similar products article 0 CELEX: 32015R0802 (1) Under heading 2710 of the Combined Nomenclature laid down in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 , autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties (‘customs duties’) on certain oils and similar products in which the weight of the non-aromatic constituents exceeds that of the aromatic constituents are suspended, provided that those oils and similar products are destined to undergo a specific process and are subject to the end-use procedure laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (‘the end-use procedure’). (2) Certain oils and similar products in which the weight of the aromatic constituents exceeds that of the non-aromatic constituents (‘heavy oils and similar products’) were, until 3 April 2013, also classified under heading 2710 , and thereby enjoyed a duty free treatment for an indefinite period. (3) However, as from 4 April 2013, those heavy oils and similar products have been classified under heading 2707 , without any duty free treatment. (4) With effect from 1 July 2014, Council Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 granted those heavy oils and similar products a temporary suspension of autonomous customs duties. |
Council Regulation (EU) 2015/802 of 19 May 2015 suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain heavy oils and similar products article 0 CELEX: 32015R0802 (5) However, given that in the Union there is no supply of such heavy oils and similar products, the temporary suspension of autonomous customs duties should have been applied without the interruption during the period from 4 April 2013 to 30 June 2014, provided that those heavy oils and similar products were destined for use as refinery feedstock to undergo a specific process and were subject to the end-use procedure. (6) Therefore, with a view to adequately ensuring the benefit of the temporary suspension of autonomous customs duties in respect of those heavy oils and similar products falling under CN code 2707 99 99 , the temporary suspension should apply with retroactive effect from 4 April 2013 to 30 June 2014. (7) In order to give effect to such retroactive suspension of autonomous customs duties, the retroactive effect of the corresponding end-use authorisation, as laid down in Article 294(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, should also be extended to 4 April 2013, |
