COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 546/96 of 28 March 1996 repealing Regulation (EEC) No 1055/72 on notifying the Commission of imports of crude oil and natural gas

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1055/72 (3) was adopted at a time when the structure of the market was very different from today's, being based mainly on long-term crude-oil supply contracts, now replaced by 'spot` contracts;

Whereas the six-monthly and annual notifications required of Member States are no longer requested for all crude oil and natural gas;

Whereas more detailed monthly information on crude oil and natural gas is now obtained via the Statistical Office of the European Communities, notably on the basis of the available customs data;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1055/72 was designed to give the Commission access to reliable information in order to obtain the data necessary to define a prudent Community oil supply policy;

Whereas the required information currently covers only a part of crude oil and natural gas exports;

Whereas the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1055/72 was suspended in 1981; whereas it has never seemed necessary to reactivate it;

Whereas the said Regulation is no longer relevant and there is therefore no need to maintain it,

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 819/96 of 29 April 1996 establishing certain concessions in the form of a Community tariff quota for Turkey in 1996 in respect of hazelnuts

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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

Having regard to the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, under the preferential agreement between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and Turkey, of the other part, concessions were granted to that country in respect of certain agricultural products;

Whereas, following the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, the concession for hazelnuts should be adjusted to take account of the trade arrangements for that product which existed between Austria, Finland and Sweden, on the one hand, and Turkey, on the other;

Whereas, to that end, exploratory talks are under way with Turkey with a view to concluding a specific agreement on this matter;

Whereas, however, this agreement could not enter into force on 1 January 1996 owing to excessively tight deadlines;

Whereas in these circumstances and in accordance with Articles 76, 102 and 128 of the 1994 Act of Accession, the Community is required to adopt the necessary measures to remedy this situation; whereas those measures should take the form of autonomous Community tariff quotas covering the agreed preferential tariff concessions applied by Austria, Finland and Sweden,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Without prejudice to the import arrangements in the Community applicable to hazelnuts pursuant to the agreement concluded between the Community and Turkey, the existing Community tariff quota shall be increased autonomously in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

Articles 4 to 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1981/94 (1) shall apply to the tariff concessions referred to in the Annex.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
