COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3361/94 of 29 December 1994 opening tariff quotas with respect to Austria, Finland and Sweden

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, in particular Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of the Act concerning their conditions of accession to the Community, Austria, Finland and Sweden will apply the Common Customs Tariff as of 1 January 1995;

Whereas, following these accessions, negotiations will have to take place under Article XXIV, paragraph 6, of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994), in order to resolve instances where applications of the Common Customs Tariff by the new Member States leads to modification or withdrawal of tariff concessions previously granted by them;

Whereas the application of the Common Customs Tariff by the new Member States will lead to a reduction of some import duties and increase of some other duties;

Whereas it is appropriate for the Community to provide temporary relief to its trading partners for the most serious cases in which there is an increase in import duties; whereas, therefore, certain customs duties have to be reduced on an autonomous basis during the period 1 January to 30 June 1995, after which period the negotiations will have to be terminated;

Whereas Article 169 of the Act concerning the conditions of accession of Norway, Austria, Finland and Sweden allows, where so required by reason of accession, adaption of acts of the institutions done prior to accession,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
