COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2631/97 of 18 December 1997 amending Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, by virtue of Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 (1), the Council opened Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products; whereas Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions; whereas Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened at reduced or zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes, and increased or extended in the case of certain existing tariff quotas, avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these products;

Whereas it is no longer in the Community's interest to maintain a Community tariff quota on some of the products covered by the above Regulation, and those products should therefore be removed from the table in Annex I;

Whereas in order to take account of amendments to the combined nomenclature, some of the Taric codes need to be changed;

Whereas in view of the large number of amendments coming into effect on 1 January 1998 and in order to clarify matters for the user, these amendments should be made by replacing the table in Annex I to the above Regulation by the table in the Annex to this Regulation;

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Whereas, in certain sectors, these difficulties cannot be resolved by the date laid down; whereas the period in question should therefore be extended, as provided for in the Act; whereas the said period should be extended by one year;

Whereas in the milk and milk products sector the requirements relating to the fat content of milk for human consumption continue to cause difficulties for Finland and Sweden; whereas those difficulties cannot be resolved by 31 December 1998; whereas the period in question should therefore be extended, as provided for in the 1994 Act of Accession, by two years in this specific case,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 560/97 of 26 March 1997 on additional quantities of textile products to be made available to the Republic of Indonesia

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/97 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Whereas for certain categories of textile products Indonesia had issued 1996 export licences for amounts in excess of its 1996 quota levels and that Indonesia is willing to adopt the necessary measures to take into account this over-licensing in the management of its exports in 1997;

Whereas, this has led to a situation where importers are unable to receive an import licence for goods which have already been paid for and shipped to the European Community and that the goods are consequently blocked in the ports of arrival;

Whereas overshipments of this type are an exceptional occurrence due to a breakdown in communication between Indonesia's central licensing office and its regional offices;

Whereas Indonesia and the European Community are currently making efforts to establish a system of control which will greatly reduce the risk of this situation reoccurring in the future;

Whereas the quantities in question are minor when compared to the total level of imports into the European Community of the corresponding products and that therefore there would be no risk of market disruption if the goods were released into free circulation;

Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 allows the Commission to open up additional opportunities for imports under particular circumstances;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The following quantities shall be made available to allow the release into free circulation of products for which Indonesia has issued 1996 export licences:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2019/97 of 15 October 1997 on additional quantities of textile products to be made available to Romania

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/97 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Whereas, following unsatisfied demand within the Community, the competent authorities of Romania requested that an additional quantity be made available for Romania for category 7 for the quota year 1997;

Whereas for the category concerned the flexibility provisions specified in Annex VIII to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 have been used to the full extent;

Whereas the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement on trade in textile products between the Community and Romania will expire, and the quantitative restrictions will be eliminated, on 31 December 1997;

Whereas, for the category concerned, following the elimination of import duties on 1 January 1997 for textile products originating in Romania and imported into the Community, there was a substantial shift from importations under the quota established for the economic outward processing regime to importations under the direct quota;

Whereas the quantities in question, in relation to total imports of these products into the European Community, are unlikely to cause market disruption if the goods are released into free circulation;

Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) 3030/93 allows the Commission to open up additional opportunities for imports under particular circumstances;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The following additional quantity shall be made available to Romania for which it can issue export licenses during the quota year 1997:

- category 7: 250 000 pieces.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
