COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 306/92 of 7 February 1992 ending the charges against the tariff ceilings opened in the framework of generalized tariff preferences, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 in respect of certain textile products originating in Thailand, Argentina and China
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of textile products originating in developing countries (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3587/87 (2), and in particular the third paragraph of Article 12 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 suspension of customs duties in the context of preferential tariff ceilings is granted within the limits of the individual ceilings set out in column 8 of Annex I to that Regulation in respect of each of the categories of product under consideration; whereas as provided for in the third paragraph of Article 12 of the said Regulation, the Commission may, after 31 December 1992, take measures to stop quantities being charged against any particular preferential tariff limit if these limits were exceeded particularly as a result of regularizations of imports actually made during the preferential tariff period;
Whereas, in respect of the products of category 37 (order No 40.0370) originating in Thailand, of category 65 (order No 40.0650) originating in Argentina and of category 84 and 90 (order No 40.0840 and 40.0900) originating in China, the relevant ceilings were fixed at 386, 166, 3 and 15 tonnes, respectively; whereas on 1 January 1992, the sum of the quantities charged during the 1991 preferential period has exceeded the ceilings in question;
Whereas it appears desirable to take measures to stop quantities being charged against the said ceilings in respect of Thailand for category 37, in respect of Argentina for category 65, and in respect of China for category 84 and 90,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The quantities charged against the tariff ceilings opened by Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 relating to the products and origins indicated in the table below, shall cease to be allowed from 11 February 1992.
