COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1264/2010

of 20 December 2010

amending Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 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 supplies of certain goods which are insufficiently produced in the Union and to avoid any disturbances on the market for certain agricultural and industrial products, autonomous tariff quotas were opened by Council Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 (1). Products within those tariff quotas can be imported at reduced or zero duty rates. For the same reasons,with effect from 1 January 2011 new tariff quotas at a zero duty rate for an appropriate volume for certain additional products should be opened. |

(1)

In order to ensure sufficient and uninterrupted supplies of certain goods which are insufficiently produced in the Union and to avoid any disturbances on the market for certain agricultural and industrial products, autonomous tariff quotas were opened by Council Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 (1). Products within those tariff quotas can be imported at reduced or zero duty rates. For the same reasons,with effect from 1 January 2011 new tariff quotas at a zero duty rate for an appropriate volume for certain additional products should be opened.

| (2) | The quota volume for autonomous tariff quotas entered with the order numbers 09.2977 and 09.2635 are insufficient to meet the needs of the industry of the Union for the current quota period ending on 31 December 2010. Consequently, those quota volumes should be increased with effect from 1 July 2010. |

(2)

The quota volume for autonomous tariff quotas entered with the order numbers 09.2977 and 09.2635 are insufficient to meet the needs of the industry of the Union for the current quota period ending on 31 December 2010. Consequently, those quota volumes should be increased with effect from 1 July 2010.

| (3) | It is no longer in the interest of the Union to continue to grant tariff quotas in 2011 for certain products for which such quotas were established for 2010. Those quotas should therefore be closed with effect from 1 January 2011 and the products concerned should be deleted from the list in Annex to Regulation (EU) No 7/2010. |
