COUNCILREGULATION(EEC)No3671/81
of15December 1981
on imports into the Community of certain agricultural products
originatinginTurkey
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas, under Article 1 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 562/81
of 20 Jan uary 1981 onthe reductionof customs duties onimports in tothe Community of certain agricultural products originating in
Turkey (
1) provides that, inthe case of products for which Commun ity
rules require animport price to be observed, applicationof the prefer-ential tariff shall be subject to observance of this price;
Whereas imports of certain fruit and vegetables into the Community
are subject for part of the marketing year to observance of a reference
price;
Whereas, during the period for which reference prices apply, the entry
prices of imported products are calculated inaccordan ce with Article24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on thecommon organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (
2), as last
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1116/81 (3); whereas, where the
entry price of a given product from a non-member country is less thanthe reference price, the Commission introduces a countervailing chargeon exports from the country in question;
Whereas the introduction of a countervailing charge on imports of fruit
and vegetables originating in Turkey is equivalent to finding that the
condition provided for in Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 562/81 is not fulfilled; whereas application of the preferential tariff shouldat the same time be suspended for the products in question;
Whereas such suspension must result in the levying of the customs
duty applicable before 1 January 1981 and must be confined to the
period during which the countervailing charge is levied,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Where, pursuant to Articles 25 and 25a of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/
72, the Commission introduces a countervailing charge on imports ofcertain fruit and vegetables originating in Turkey, it shall at the sametime reintroduce:

1980 did not enjoy tariff preference under the arrangements arisingfrom the Association Agreement, the duty applicable to non-member countries covered by the most-favoured nation clause,
— for those products originating in Turkey which enjoy a special
arrangement under the Association Agreement, the duty under theCommon Customs Tariff currently applicable to countries coveredby the most-favoured nation clause, reduced in accordance withthe provisions of the preferential scheme in force as at 31December 1980.1981R3671 — EN — 06.06.1984 — 001.001 — 2
