COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2015/2448

of 14 December 2015

amending Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for 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 sufficient and uninterrupted supply of certain goods insufficiently produced in the Union and to avoid any disturbances on the market for certain agricultural and industrial products, autonomous tariff quotas have been opened by Council Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 (1). Products within those tariff quotas can be imported into the Union at reduced or zero duty rates. For the reasons indicated, it is necessary to open, with effect from 1 January 2016, tariff quotas at zero duty rates for an appropriate volume as regards 10 additional products. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

In order to ensure sufficient and uninterrupted supply of certain goods insufficiently produced in the Union and to avoid any disturbances on the market for certain agricultural and industrial products, autonomous tariff quotas have been opened by Council Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 (1). Products within those tariff quotas can be imported into the Union at reduced or zero duty rates. For the reasons indicated, it is necessary to open, with effect from 1 January 2016, tariff quotas at zero duty rates for an appropriate volume as regards 10 additional products.

| (2) | In certain cases, the existing autonomous tariff quotas of the Union should be adapted. In the case of three products, the TARIC codes should be changed in view of classification changes in the Combined Nomenclature. For two products, it is necessary to amend the product description for clarification purposes and in order to take into account the most recent product developments. In the case of five products, in the interest of economic operators of the Union, the quota volumes should be increased and in one case the quota volume should be decreased. For reasons of clarity, a footnote relating to one product should be deleted. |

In the case of five products, in the interest of economic operators of the Union, the quota volumes should be increased and in one case the quota volume should be decreased. For reasons of clarity, a footnote relating to one product should be deleted.

| (3) | In the case of two products, the autonomous tariff quota of the Union should be closed with effect from 1 January 2016 as it is not in the Union's interest to continue granting it as from that date. |

(3)

In the case of two products, the autonomous tariff quota of the Union should be closed with effect from 1 January 2016 as it is not in the Union's interest to continue granting it as from that date.

| (4) | Due to the number of amendments to be made in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013, in the interest of clarity and rationality, that Annex should be replaced. |
