COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2127/92 of 28 July 1992 ending the charges against the tariff ceilings opened for 1992, in the framework of generalized tariff preferences, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 in respect of certain industrial products originating in Poland

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of industrial products originating in developing countries (1), extended into 1992 originating Regulation (EEC) No 3587/91 (2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 9 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 suspension of customs duties in the context of preferential tariff ceilings is granted for 1992 within the limits of the individual ceilings set out in column 6 of Annex I to that Regulation in respect of each of the products or group of products under consideration; whereas as provided for in the second paragraph of Article 9 of the said Regulation, the Commission may take measures to stop quantities being charged against any particular preferential tariff limit if these limits were exceeded particularly as a result of regularizations of imports actually made during the preferential tariff period;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1509/92 (3), Poland was withdrawn from the list of beneficiaries in Annex III of Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 as from 1 March 1992; whereas the preferential tariff period for that country consequently ended on 29 February 1992;

Whereas, in respect of products of order Nos 10.0407, 10.0408 and 10.0420 originating in Poland, the relevant ceilings were fixed at ECU 2 541 000, ECU 1 420 000 and ECU 5 072 000; whereas on 25 February 1992, the sum of the quantities charged during the 1992 preferential period has exceeded the ceilings in question;

Whereas it appears desirable to take measures to stop quantities being charged against the said ceilings in respect of Poland for the products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
