COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 903/91 of 9 April 1991 ending the charges against the tariff ceilings opened, in the framework of generalized tariff preferences, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3896/89 in respect of certain industrial products originating in Brazil, Hungary, India, Mexico and China

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3896/89 of 18 December 1989 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1990 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3211/90 (2), and in particular Article 9 (2) thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3896/89, suspension of customs duties in the context of preferential tariff ceilings is granted 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 Article 9 (2) of the said Regulation, the Commission may, after 31 December 1990, 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, in respect of the products or the groups of products of the CN codes and origins indicated in the table below, the relevant ceilings were fixed at the levels indicated in that table:

Order No CN code Origin Ceiling

(ECU) 10.0391 3001 90 91 Brazil 4 200 000 10.0455 3901 20 00 Hungary 12 500 000 10.0458 3904 10 00 Brazil 5 000 000 3904 21 00 Hungary 3904 22 00 10.0530 4105 20 00 India 2 520 000 10.0770 7013 Mexico 3 150 000 10.1320 9405 30 00 China 4 000 000 9505

Whereas on 1 January 1991, the sum of the quantities charged during the 1990 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 Brazil for products of CN codes 3001 90 91 (order No 10.0391) and 3904 10 00, 3904 21 00 and 3904 22 00 (order No 10.0458), in respect of Hungary for products of CN codes 3901 20 00 (order No 10.0455) and 3904 10 00, 3904 21 10 and 3904 22 00 (order No 10.0458), in respect of India for products of CN code 4105 20 00 (order No 10.0530), in respect of Mexico for products of CN code 7013 (order No 10.0770) and in respect of China for products of CN codes 9405 30 00 and 9505 (order No 10.1320),
