Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;

Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of haddock in the waters of ICES divisions VII, VIII, IX, X; Cecaf 34.1.1 (EC-zone) by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium have reached the quota allocated for 1996; whereas Belgium has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 21 April 1996; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3383/94 of 19 December 1994 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Bulgaria, of the other part (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Whereas Annex XIII a to the European Agreement with Bulgaria (2) lays down the quantities of sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat that may be imported under the preferential scheme within tariff quotas; whereas those quotas were opened for 1996 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3016/95 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 652/96 (4);

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 284/96 of 14 February 1996 derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1439/95 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 as regards the import and export of products in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector and from Regulation (EC) No 3016/95 opening Community tariff quotas for 1996 for sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat falling within CN codes 0104 10 30, 0104 10 80, 0104 20 90 and 0204 (5) modifies certain import quantities for the period between 1 January and 30 June 1996;

Whereas the Europe Agreement also provides for the possibility of Bulgaria converting limited quantities of live animal exports into quantities of meat; whereas Bulgaria has asked the Community to convert 1 000 tonnes of live animals expressed as carcase weight bone-in that may be exported into the Community in 1996 into 1 000 tonnes of meat; whereas this conversion concerns only a limited portion of the quantities of those products originating in Bulgaria that may enter the Community under Community tariff quotas; whereas, therefore, it should be accepted;

Whereas, as a result, it is necessary to adapt the quantities laid down for Bulgaria in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 3016/95 as adapted by Regulation (EC) No 284/96;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheepmeat and Goatmeat,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 3016/95, the quantity of live animals for Bulgaria is hereby replaced by '2 123` and the quantity of meat for Bulgaria is replaced by '1 640`.

Whereas Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (3) has been amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3009/95 (4);

Whereas by Regulation (EC) No 2942/95 (5) the Commission opened Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products at a reduced rate of duty;

Whereas the rates of duty and the additional rates for the products covered by the Regulation concerned are likely to be amended in future years; whereas in the interests of improving the management of the relevant Community rules, legislation should be established on a multiannual basis in which the ad valorem rates of duty would be automatically reduced by 50 % in parallel with developments of the customs duties contained in the combined nomenclature;

Whereas, therefore, Regulation (EC) No 2942/95 should be amended;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
