the Community has undertaken to replace the variable import levies by
fixed customs duties as from 1 July 1995; whereas the Agreement onAgriculture also provides for the replacement of the present special
arrangements with third countries on imports of products in the sheep
and goat sector by a system of tariff quotas; whereas these changesrequire the adoption of new detailed rules and also the repeal of certainexisting rules; whereas it is appropriate in the interest of transparency togroup the rules on the administration of all tariff quotas in the sector into
one single Regulation and to provide for the opening of the various
quotas in separate legal texts;
Whereas henceforth the duty payable upon information into the
Community is fixed in the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas it is appropriate to maintain the obligation to submit a licence
upon importation and upon exportation of all products of the sector, withthe exception of pure-bred sheep and goats and certain offals and fats;
Whereas since the Agreement on Agriculture requires the conversion of
Voluntary Restraint Agreements into country-specific tariff quotas it is
necessary to provide for a management system which ensures that onlyproducts originating in those specific countries can be imported underthe tariff quotas; whereas the latter consideration as well as the need toensure a smooth transition to the new regime warrant a system whereby
the issuance of an import licence is made subject to the presentation of a
document of origin issued by an authority of the exporting State whichfulfils certain criteria and which has been recognized by the Community;whereas it is therefore necessary to fix the said criteria and in particularto require of the issuing authorities of the exporting countries thatcontrols be effected as to the adherence to the quantities that may be
imported under the quotas, notably through a system of precise and
regular notifications to the Commission of the quantities in respect ofwhich documents of origin have been issued;
Wheres rules should be laid down for the format and the other details of
the document of origin as well as for the procedures to be followed in
respect of its issuance and its exchange for an import licence; whereas
the introduction of yearly tariff quotas also requires strict rules as to thevalidity of documents of origin and of import licences;
Whereas the additional preferential imports provided for in the
Association Agreements with the countries of Central Europe should
be administered in the same way as the country-specific quotas resultingfrom the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations;
Whereas the Community also undertook in the Uruguay Round of
multilateral trade negotiations to open a non-country-specific tariff
quota for countries other than those for which a country-specific quotawas provided for; whereas it is appropriate to manage this quota in thesame way as the autonomous import system laid down in CommissionRegulation (EEC) No 3653/85(
1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC)
No 2779/93(2); whereas the detailed rules should therefore provide for
the issuance of import licences on a quarterly basis and, where
necessary, the application of a reduction coefficient;
Whereas an efficient administration of these tariff quotas also requires a
regular flow of information from the Member States to the Commission
on the quantities in respect of which import licences have been issued;
whereas the frequency of the notifications relating to a country-specificquota should be increased when the annual quota is close to exhaustionwhereas the Member States should also inform the Commission ofquantities for which export licences have been issued;
Whereas the abolition of the variable import levy and the introduction of
tariff quotas require the repeal of Commission Regulations (EEC) No2668/80(
