THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3285/94 of 22 December 1994 on the common rules for imports and repealing Regulation (EC) No 518/94 (1) applies, inter alia, to products covered by the ECSC Treaty, without prejudice to any possible measures to apply an agreement specifically concerning ECSC products;

Whereas, in the interests of consistency and in order to eliminate administrative complications caused by the lack of uniform treatment of ECSC products vis-à-vis the products covered by Regulation (EC) No 519/94, the scope of that Regulation should be broadened to include the products covered by the ECSC Treaty and the Regulation amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

'Whereas the common rules applicable to imports shall also apply to ECSC products, without prejudice to any measures implementing an agreement relating specifically to such products;`.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 291/96 of 15 February 1996 fixing an export tax in relation to the product falling within CN code 1003 00 90

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1766/92 provides that where quotations or prices on the world market for certain products reach the level of Community prices and such situation is likely to continue and deteriorate thereby disturbing or threatening to disturb the Community market, appropriate measures may be taken; whereas Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 95/96 (4), provides that where such conditions are met, an export tax may be fixed and may vary according to the destination;

Whereas prices on the world market for barley have reached the level of those in the Community and the trend in those prices is that they will increase; whereas this situation is likely to lead to an excessive export of barley from the Community; whereas it has therefore been decided to apply an export tax to this product at a level which will avoid disturbance to the Community market;

Whereas export licences issued for barley before 2 February 1996 are still valid; whereas their validity was already limited as a precautionary measure to 30 days in order to restrict quantities; whereas it is not necessary to penalize those licences;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. The export tax referred to in Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95, for the product falling within CN code 1003 00 90 is fixed at the level set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

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

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
