Press Release: Jet fuel imports: Council removes customs duties

At the Employment, Social policy, Health and Consumer Affairs Council meeting taking place in Brussels on 9-10 December 2013, the Council of the European Union adopted a regulation removing duties on jet fuel imports as from 1 January 2014.

The suspension of duties for jet fuel will avoid an increase of price that would otherwise have occurred because of the application of the new scheme of generalised tariff preferences, which starts running as from 1 January 2014.
