COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2505/96
of 20 December 1996
opening and providing for the administration of autonomous
Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial
products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and
in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas production in the Community of certain agricultural and
industrial products will be insufficient to meet the specific require-ments of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently,Community supplies of products of this type will depend to a consider-able extent on imports from third countries; whereas the most urgent
Community requirements for the products in question should be met
immediately on the most favourable terms; whereas Community tariffquotas at reduced or zero duty should therefore be opened within thelimits of appropriate volumes taking account of the need not to disturbthe markets for such products nor the starting out or development of
Community production;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community
importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and toensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for thequotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member Statesuntil the quotas have been used up;
Whereas the decision for the opening of autonomous tariff quotas
should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficiencyof a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonableobstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports;
whereas, however, this method of administration requires close coop-
eration between the Member States and the Commission and the lattermust in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas areused up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas production in the Community of certain industrial products
will remain, in the course of 1996, unable to meet the specific require-
ments of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently,
Community supplies of products of this type will depend to a consider-able extent on imports from third countries; whereas the most urgentCommunity requirements for the products in question should be metimmediately on the most favourable terms;
Whereas, by Regulation (EC) No 3059/95 (
1), the Council opened, for
1996, Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrialproducts; whereas the volume of the quota for ferro-chromium (OrderNo 09.2711), for isopropylidene-bis (Order No 09.2859) and for oscil-lator (Order No 09.2939) should be increased;
Whereas the existing regulations opening autonomous Common
Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial and agricultural products
have largely renewed previous measures; whereas, therefore, in theinterests of rationalizing implementation of the measures concerned, itwould seem appropriate not to limit the period of validity of this Regu-lation as its scope can be adapted and products added to or removed
from the list through a Council regulation, if necessary; whereas the
transfer of unused quantities from one quota period to a subsequentone is not permissible;1996R2505 — EN — 01.01.2003 — 014.002 — 3

(EC) No 1535/96 (OJ No L 191, 1. 8. 1996, p. 16).▼M2

▼B
Whereas the amendments to the combined nomenclature and the Taric
codes do not give rise to any substantive amendment; whereas, forreasons of simplification, provision should be made to empower the
Commission, following receipt of the opinion of the Customs Code
Committee, to make the necessary amendments and technical adapta-tions of the Annex to this Regulation, including the publication of aconsolidated version;
Whereas it should be possible for this procedure to be applied in order
to speed up the procedure where it becomes clear during a calendaryear that an increase of a tariff quota or extension of a quota period is
required; whereas such measures shall be considered to be temporary
ones pending expiry of the relevant calendar year,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The import duties on the goods listed in Annexes I and III shall
be suspended at the indicated duty rate for the periods and in theamounts indicated therein.
2. In Regulation (EC) No 3059/95, the table shown in the Annex
shall be replaced, for Order Nos 09.2711, 09.2859 and 09.2939, bythe table shown in Annex II to this Regulation.
Article 2
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the
Commission, which may take all appropriate administrative measuresin order to ensure effective administration thereof.
Article 3
If an importer presents in a Member State an entry for release for free
circulation, including a request for preferential benefit for a productcovered by this Regulation and if this entry for release is accepted bythe customs authorities, the Member States concerned shall inform theCommission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirementsfrom the corresponding quota amount.
The drawing request, with indication of the date of acceptance of the
said entries, must be transmitted to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission by reference to the date
of acceptance of the entries for release for free circulation by the
customs authorities of the Member States concerned to the extent that
the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn it shall return
them as soon as possible to the corresponding quota amount.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the
quota amount, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect
to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission ofthe drawings made.
Article 4
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products
concerned have equal and uninterrupted access to the quotas for such
time as the residual balance of the quota volumes so permits.
Article 5
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to
ensure that this Regulation is complied with.1996R2505 — EN — 01.01.2003 — 014.002 — 4

Article 6
The amendments and technical adaptations, including the publication of
a consolidated version, arising from amendments of the combined
nomenclature and Taric codes shall be adopted by the Commission in
accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 7.
If it becomes apparent during a calendar year:
— a quota quantity is not sufficient to satisfy the needs of the Commu-
nity industry, taking into account the production capacity inside theCommunity, or
— a prolongation of a tariff quota whose validity period has been
limited is necessary beyond this period to satisfy the needs of the
Community industry, taking into account the production capacity
inside the Community,
the quota concerned may, until the end of the calendar year, be
increased by not more than 50 % or the quota period extended for aperiod not exceeding six months in accordance with the procedurelaid down in Article 7.
Article 7
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Customs Code
Committee set up by Article 247 of Council Regulation (EEC) No
2913/92 (
1).
2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the
Committee a draft of the measures to be adopted. The Committee shalldeliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the chairmanmay lay down according to the urgency of the matter. The opinionshall be delivered by the majority laid down in Article 148 (2) of theTreaty in the case of decisions which the Council is required to adopt
on a proposal from the Commission. The votes of the representatives of
the Member States within the Committee shall be weighted in themanner set out in that Article. The chairman shall not vote.
The Commission shall adopt measures, which shall apply immediately.
However, if those measures are not in accordance with the opinion ofthe Committee, they shall be communicated by the Commission to the
Council forthwith. In that event the Commission shall defer application
of the measures upon which it has decided for three months from thedate of such communication.
The Council, acting by qualified majority, may take a different deci-
sion within the time limit referred to in the previous paragraph.
3. The Committee may examine any question concerning the appli-
cation of this Regulation which is raised by its chairman, either on his
own initiative or at the request of a Member State.
Article 8
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its
publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities .
It shall apply from 1 January 1997 with respect to Annex I and from 1
January 1996 with respect to Annex II.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable
in all Member States.1996R2505 — EN — 01.01.2003 — 014.002 — 5
