COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)No 669/97
of 14 April 1997
opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff
quotas and ceilings, establishing Community surveillance forcertain fish and fishery products originating in the Faroe Islands,defining detailed provisions for amending and adapting these meas-
ures and repealing Regulation (EC)No 1983/95
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Havingreg ard to the Treaty establishingthe European Community, andin particular Article 113 thereof,
Havingreg ard to the proposal from the Commission,
(1)Whereas Articles 3 and 8 of the Agreement between the Euro-
pean Community, of the one part, and the Government ofDenmark and the Home Government of the Faroe Islands, of theother part, signed on 6 December 1996 (
1), provide for the aboli-
tion of customs duties applicable to imports into the Communityof certain fish and fishery products listed in Protocol 1 attachedto the said Agreement;
(2)Whereas the abolition is subject to Community tariff quotas andceilings and, for some of these products, Community statisticalsurveillance; whereas the said Community tariff quotas and ceil-ings in respect of products originating in the Faroe Islands shouldtherefore be opened for the volumes indicated respectively inAnnexes I and II to this Regulation and Community statisticalsurveillance established in respect of the products listed in AnnexIII thereto;
(3)Whereas the preferential rates of duty indicated in Annexes I, IIand III apply only where the free-at-frontier price determined bythe Member States in accordance with Article 22 of CouncilRegulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on thecommon organization of the market in fishery products and aqua-culture(
2) is at least equal to the reference price set, or to be set,
by the Community for the products or categories of productsconcerned;
(4)Whereas, for reasons of simplification, provision should be madeto empower the Commission to give effect, following receipt ofthe opinion of the Customs Code Committee set up by Article247 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (
3), to necessary amend-
ments and technical adaptations to the Annexes to this Regulationarisingfrom amendments of the combined nomenclature andTaric codes and to adaptations of volume, periods and quota ratesarisingfrom decisions by the Council or by the Commission;
(5)Whereas, for the same reasons, provision should be made for thisprocedure to be applied in cases where the abovementionedAgreement is amended to the extent that the agreed amendmentsspecify the products eligible for tariff quotas or subject to tariffceilings or to statistical surveillance, quota-volumes, duties andtariff periods, and any eligibility criteria;
(6)Whereas the Agreement provides for tariff quotas, tariff ceilingsand statistical surveillance for an indefinite period; whereas,therefore, to make implementation of the measures concernedmore efficient and simpler, this Regulation should apply on amultiannual basis;

(7)Whereas equal and continuous access to the quotas in respect of
the products likely to benefit from the Community tariff quotaslisted in Annex I should be ensured for all Community importersand the rates of duty laid down for the quotas should be appliedconsistently to all imports of the products in question in allMember States until the quotas are exhausted;
(8)Whereas the Community should take the decision to open tariffquotas in the execution of its international obligations; whereas,to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of thesequotas, there is no reason why the Member States should not beauthorized to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quant-ities correspondingto actual imports; whereas this method ofadministration does, however, require close cooperation betweenthe Member States and the Commission, which must be able tomonitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform theMember States accordingly;
(9)Whereas, in respect of products listed in Annex II and subject toCommunity tariff ceilings, Community surveillance may beeffected by charging imports of these products against the ceil-ings at Community level as and when the products are presentedat customs and declared for free circulation; whereas this methodof administeringthe ceiling s should enable customs duties to berestored as soon as the ceilings in question are reached atCommunity level;
(10)Whereas this method of administeringthe ceiling s calls for closeand especially speedy cooperation between the Member Statesand the Commission, which must be able to monitor the levelreached by imports charged against the ceilings and inform theMember States accordingly; whereas this cooperation should beclose enough to allow the Commission to take appropriate stepsto restore customs duties as soon as one of the ceilings isreached;
(11)Whereas, for the products listed in Annex III, it would seemappropriate to have recourse to the system of statistical surveil-lance administered by the Commission pursuant to the relevantprovisions of Regulations (EC) No 1172/95 (
1) and (EEC) No
2658/87 (2);
(12)Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1983/95 (3), which brought into
force the measures applicable pursuant to the old agreement,should be repealed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
From 1 January to 31 December each year, the customs duties applic-
able to imports into the Community of products listed in Annex I andoriginating in the Faroe Islands shall be suspended at the levels andwithin the limits of the Community tariff quotas specified therein.
