COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1677/94 of 7 July 1994 ending the charges against the tariff ceilings opened from 1 January to 30 June 1994 in the framework of generalized tariff preferences, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 in respect of certain textile products originating in Iran, Malaysia and Moldova

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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), and in particular the third paragraph of Article 12 thereof, extended for 1994 by Regulation (EC) No 3668/93 (2), and in particular 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 from 1 January to 30 June 1994 within the limits of the individual ceilings set out in column 7 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 30 June 1994, 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 order Nos, categories and origins indicated in the table below, the relevant ceilings were fixed at the levels indicated in that table:

"" ID="1">40.0070> ID="2">7> ID="3">Malaysia> ID="5">486 000"> ID="1">40.0120> ID="2">12> ID="3">Malaysia> ID="4">1 594 500"> ID="1">40.0200> ID="2">20> ID="3">Moldova> ID="6">34,500"> ID="1">40.0200> ID="2">20> ID="3">Malaysia> ID="6">116,000"> ID="1">40.0240> ID="2">24> ID="3">Malaysia> ID="5">249 500"> ID="1">40.0260> ID="2">26> ID="3">Malaysia> ID="5">197 500"> ID="1">40.0280> ID="2">28> ID="3">Malaysia> ID="5">54 500"> ID="1">40.0580> ID="2">58> ID="3">Iran> ID="6">141,500"> ID="1">40.0730> ID="2">73> ID="3">Malaysia> ID="5">90 500">

Whereas on 15 June 1994, the sum of the quantities charged during the 1994 (1 January to 30 June 1994) preferential period has exceeded the ceilings in question;

Whereas it appears desirable to take measures to stop quantities being charged against the said ceilings for the order Nos, categories and origins in question,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
