COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3028/94 of 13 December 1994 re-establishing the levying of customs duties on products of CN codes ex 7304, 7305 and ex 7306 originating in the Republics of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia for which tariff ceilings were opened by Council Regulation (EC) No 653/94

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 653/94 of 21 March 1994 establishing ceilings and Community surveillance for imports of certain products originating in the Republics of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (1994) (1), and in particular Article 1 (4) thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 653/94, 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 where subject to tariff ceilings; whereas Article 1 (4) provides that once the ceilings are reached the Commission may adopt a regulation to re-establish the levying of 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 preferences have been charged against the ceiling up to the total amount; whereas the situation on the Community market for these products requires the re-establishment of customs duties vis-à-vis the Republics in question;

Whereas the levying of customs duties for these products should therefore be re-established,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

From 17 December 1994, the levying of customs duties suspended for 1994 by Regulation (EC) No 653/94 shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the products shown in the Annex, originating in the Republics of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia and the former Yugoslav 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, 13 December 1994.
