COMVIISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
C0M(91) 478 final 
Brussels, 2 December 1991 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
opening and providing for the administration 
of Community tariff quotas and ceilings 
and establishing Community surveillance for certain fish 
and fishery products originating in the Faeroe Islands 
(1992) 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. Council Decision No /91, concerning the conclusion of the 
Agreement between the Euopean Economic Community, the Government of Denmark 
and the Home Government of the Faeroe Islands provides for the abolition on 
1 January 1992 of customs duties on imports into the Community as 
constituted on 31 December 1985 of certain fish and fishery products listed 
in Annexes I, II and III. 
2. As part of these tariff measures, Spain and Portugal will apply customs 
duties calculated in accordance with Article 173(1) and (2) and 
Article 360(1)(b) and (2) respectively of the Act of Accession. 
3. For the products originating in the Faeroes, abolition of customs duties 
will take place as indicated in the appropriate annexes to this proposal, 
viz: 
- Annex I: the abolition applies within the limits of the Community tariff 
quotas therein; 
- Annex II: the abolition applies within the Community tariff ceilings 
therein; 
- Annex III: the abolition applies subject to Community statistical 
surveiI lance. 
4. The preferential rates of duty specified in Annexes I, II and Mi only 
apply If the free-at-frontier price determined by the Member States in 
accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 as last amended 
by Regulation (EEC) No 3468/88 is at least equal to the reference price set 
or to be set by the Community for the products or categories of products 
concerned. 
5. As for the administration of the tariff quotas, it is proposed to allocate 
the entirety of each quota to the creation of Community reserve from which 
all Member States will draw in accordance with the procedure laid down in 
Article 3 of the proposed Regulation. 
6. As to the administration of the tariff ceilings, it is proposed to 
determined up a system of surveillance for imports of products listed in 
Annex II and to empower the Commission to restore the customs duties in 
certain circumstances. This involves the adoption of common specific rules 
to be applied by all Member States consistently in a context of close 
cooperation between the competent departments of the Member States and the 
Commission. 
7. The statistical surveiI lance envisaged for certain products does not 
require the adoption of common rules other than those currently applied 
uniformly by all the Member States in the field of Community's external 
trade statistics. 
This is the purpose of the attached proposal. 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) /91 
opening and providing for the administration of Community 
tariff quotas and ceilings and establishing Community 
surveillance for certain fish and fishery products 
originating in the Faeroe Islands 
(1992) 
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 Council Decision /91 concerning the conclusion of the 
Agreement between the European Economic Community, the Government of Denmark 
and the Home Government of Faeroe Islands1, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas Articles 3 and 8 of the Decision referred to above provide that customs 
duties applicable to imports into the Community of Ten of certain fish and 
fishery products listed in Protocol 1 attached to the said Decision will be 
abolished on 1 January 1992; whereas the abolition is subject to Community 
tariff quotas and ceilings and, for some of these products, Community 
statistical surveillance; whereas the said Community tariff quotas and ceilings 
in respect of products originating in the Faeroe Islands should therefore be 
opened from 1 January 1992 for the volumes indicated respectively in Annexes I 
and II and Community statistical surveillance should be established in respect 
of the products listed in Annex III; 
Whereas in the context of these tariff measures Spain and Portugal will apply 
customs duties calculated in accordance with Article 173(1) and (2) and 
Article 360(1)(b) and (2) respectively of the Act of Accession; 
Whereas the preferential rates of duty indicated in Annexes I, II and III apply 
only where the free-at-frontier price determined by the Member States in 
accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/812, as last amended by 
Regulation (EEC) No 3468/883 is at least equal to the reference price set or 
to be set by the Community for the products or categories of products 
concerned; 
1 OJ No L... , 1991, p. 
2 OJ No L 379; 31.12.1981, p. 
3 OJ No. L 305; 10.11.1988, p 
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quotas in respect of the products 
listed in Annex I should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates 
of duty laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all imports 
of the products in question in all Member States until the quotas are 
exhausted; whereas the necessary steps should be taken to ensure that the 
tariff quotas are administered efficiently at Community level, enabling the 
Member States to draw from the quotas the quantities required, corresponding to 
the actual imports recorded; whereas this method of administering the quotas 
calls for close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission; 
Whereas the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand 
Duchy of Luxembourg are Joined in and represented by the Benelux economic 
union; whereas any operation concerning the administration of the quotas may 
therefore be carried out by one of its members-, 
Whereas in respect of products listed in Annex II and subject to Community 
tariff ceilings, Community surveillance may be effected by charging imports of 
these products against the ceilings at Community level as and when the products 
are presented at customs and declared for free circulation; whereas this method 
of administering the ceilings should enable customs duties to be restored as 
soon as the ceilings in question are reached at Community level; 
Whereas this method of administering the ceilings calls for close and speedy 
cooperation between the Member States and the Commission, which must be able to 
monitor the level reached by imports charged against the ceilings and inform 
the Member States accordingly; whereas this cooperation should be close enough 
to allow the Commission to take the appropriate steps to restore customs duties 
as soon as ona of the ceilings is reached; 
Whereas for the products listed in Annex Ilia system of statistical 
surveillance administered by the Commission pursuant to the relevant provisions 
of Council Regulations (EEC) No 2658/871 and (EEC) No 1736/752 should be 
established,

the quota concerned to satisfy the requirement. 
Applications for drawings from the quotas shall indicate the date on which the 
declarations were accepted and shall be sent to the Commission forthwith. 
Drawings shall be granted by the Commission on the basis of the date when the 
declarations for free circulation were accepted by the customs authorities of 
the Member State concerned, provided the available balance is sufficient. 
Where a Member State fails to use the quantities drawn it shall return them as 
soon as possible to the relevant quota. 
Where the quantities applied for are in excess of the available balance,

certificate is presented before the date when collection of customs duty is 
resumed. 
Utilization of ceilings shall be recorded at Community level on the basis 
of imports charged against them as specified in the preceding 
subparagraphs. 
The Member States shall inform the Commission of any import operation

reference price set or to be set by the Community in respect of the products or 
categories of products concerned.
