of 11 October 2000

amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 regarding an increase of certain autonomous Community tariff quotas

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the quota period from 1 January to 31 December 2000, Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 shall be amended as follows:

- order No 09.2711: the amount of the tariff quota shall be altered to 600000 tonnes,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

(2) In order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantity limits on catches of stocks subject to quotas, the Commission must fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated.
