COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2564/82

of 21 September 1982

amending Regulation (EEC) No 562/81 on the reduction of customs duties on imports into the Community of certain agricultural products originating in Turkey

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

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

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas the EEC-Turkey Association Council, by its Decision No 1/80, decided to abolish in stages the customs duties still applicable to imports into the Community of agricultural products originating in Turkey which may not yet be imported into the Community free of customs duty;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 562/81 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2563/82 (2), established rates of duty applicable for the period 1 January 1981 to 31 December 1982; whereas, in accordance with Decision No 1/80, the said rates were calculated on the basis of the customs duties applicable in the Community;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1435/82 (3) suspended temporarily the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain agricultural products; whereas Regulations (EEC) No 1536/82 (4) and (EEC) No 1537/82 (5) opened Community tariff quotas for certain fish of the species 'Sardinops sagax' or 'ocellata'; whereas Regulations (EEC) No 3798/81 (6), (EEC) No 1644/82 (7) and (EEC) No 1645/82 (8) opened Community tariff quotas for, respectively, herrings, sweet cherries marinated in alcohol and frozen hake fillets;

Whereas the duties applicable in the Community to those products have therefore been amended and this should be taken into account for the determination of the customs duties to be applied to imports of the said products originating in Turkey;

Whereas it is accordingly necessary to amend the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 562/81;

Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 3555/80 (9), imports into Greece of products originating in Turkey shall be subject to the tariff treatment applicable to third countries enjoying most-favoured-nation treatment; whereas the Hellenic Republic therefore continues to apply the said arrangements,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
