COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2865/93 of 20 October 1993 reintroducing customs duties on products of CN codes 3102 10 10, ex 7304, 7305 and ex 7306 originating in the Republics of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Slovenia and in the territory of the former Yougoslav Republic of Macedonia for which tariff ceilings were opened by Council Regulation (EEC) No 478/83

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 478/93 of 25 February 1993 establishing ceilings and Community surveillance for imports of certain products originating in the Republics of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia and the territory of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (1993) (1), and in particular Article 1 (4) thereof;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of that Regulation, the Republics of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Slovenia and the territory of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia should benefit from preferential tariff arrangements, in particular subject to tariff ceilings; whereas Article 1 (4) provides that once the ceilings are reached the Commission may adopt a regulation to reintroduce the levying of the customs duties actually applied vis-à-vis third countries until the end of the calendar year;

Whereas imports of the products specified in the Annex to this Regulation originating in the said Republics and eligible for tariff preference have been charged against the ceiling up to the total amount; whereas the situation on the Community market for these products requires the reintroduction of customs duties vis-à-vis the Republics in question;

Whereas the levying of customs duties for these products should therefore be reintroduced,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

From 25 October 1993, the levying of customs duties suspended for 1993 by Regulation (EEC) No 478/93 shall be reintroduced on imports into the Community of the products shown in the Annex, originating in the Republics of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Slovenia and the territory of the former Yougoslav Republic of Macedonia.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following 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.

Done at Brussels, 20 October 1993.
