COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
Brussels, 10.10.1996 
COM(96)481 final 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION ŒC) 
opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and 
industrial products 
(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
Subsequent to requests made by various Member States, the Services of the Commission 
have examined, in conjunction with the Government experts concerned, the question of 
opening tariff quotas for certain products. 
Following this examination, which took place during the "Economic Tariff Questions" group 
meetings, it has been determined that the increase of tariff quotas for this product could have 
the Agreement of the Member States without disturbing the markets for such products. 
In the light of consul dons with the Member States it is proposed that these measures be 
valid indefinitely, like tariff suspensions, in order to rationalize and simplify their 
implementation and ensure that legislation is required only in the event of changes to tariff 
quotas. It is further proposed that the Commission be authorized to make amendments or 
technical adaptations to the measures in the proposed Regulation using the committee 
procedure. It is proposed that this procedure also be used should it be necessary to increase 
or add quotas or to extend the quota period 
^ 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No ...796 
of 
opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quota for certain 
agricultural and industrial products 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas production in the Community of certain agricultural and industrial products will be 
insufficient to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, 
consequently, Community supplies of products of this type will depend to a considerable extent on 
imports from third countries; whereas the most urgent Community requirements for the products in 
question should be met immediately on the most favourable terms; whereas Community tariff quotas 
at reduced or zero duty should therefore be opened within the limits of appropriate volumes taking 
account of the need not to disturb the markets for such products nor the starting out or development 
of Community production; 
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to 
the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports 
of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up; 
Whereas the decision for the opening of autonomous tariff quotas should be taken by the Community; 
whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle 
to authorising the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to 
actual imports; whereas, however, this method of administration requires close cooperation between the 
Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the 
quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly; 
Whereas the existing regulations opening autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain 
industrial and agricultural products have largely renewed previous measures; whereas, therefore, in 
the interests of rationalizing implementation of the measures concerned, it would seem appropriate 
not to limit the period of validity of this regulation as its scope can be adapted and products added to 
or removed from the list through a Council Regulation, if necessary; and whereas the transfer of 
unexhausted quantities from one quota period to a subsequent one is not permissible. 
I 
Whereas the amendments to the combined nomenclature and the Taric codes do not give rise to any 
substantive amendment; whereas, for reasons of simplification, provision should be made to 
empower the Commission, following receipt of the opinion of the Customs Code Committee, to 
make the necessary amendments and technical adaptations of the annex to this Regulation, including 
the publication of a consolidated version; 
and whereas it should be possible for this procedure to be applied in order to speed up the procedure 
where it becomes clear during a calendar year that an increase of a tariff quota or extension of a 
quota period is required; and whereas such measures shall be considered to be temporary ones 
pending expiry of the relevant calendar year, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
N Article 1 
The import duties on the goods listed in the Annex shall be suspended at the indicated duty rate for 
the periods and in the amounts indicated therein. 
Article 2 
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take all appropriate 
administrative measures in order to ensure effective administration thereof. 
Article 3 
If an importer presents in a Member State an entry for release for free circulation, including a request for 
preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation and if this entry for release is accepted by the 
customs authorities, the Member States concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount 
corresponding to its requirements from the corresponding quota amount. 
The drawing request, with indication of the date of acceptance of the said entries, must be transmitted to the 
Commission without delay. 
The drawings are granted by the Commission by reference to the date of acceptance of the entries for release 
for free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member States concerned to the extent that the available 
balance so permits. 
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn it shall return them as soon as possible to the 
corresponding quota amount. 
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota amount, allocation shall be made 
on a. pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission of the 
drawings made. 
M 
Article 4 
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have equal and uninterrupted access 
to the quotas for such time as the residual balance of the quota volumes so permits. 
Articles 5 
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that mis Regulation is complied 
with. 
Article 6 
The amendments and technical adaptations, including the publication of a consolidated version, 
arising from amendments of the combined nomenclature and Taric codes shall be adopted by the 
Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 7. 
If it becomes apparent during a calendar year 
- a quota quantity is not sufficient to satisfy the needs of the Community industry, taking 
into account the production capacity inside the Community or, 
- a prolongation of a tariff quota whose validity period has been limited is necessary beyond 
this period to satisfy the needs of the Community industry, taking into account the 
production capacity inside the Community, 
the quota concerned may, until the end of the calendar year, be increased or the quota period 
extended in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 7. 
Article 7 
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Customs Code Committee set up by Article 247 of Council 
Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92l. 
2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be 
adopted. The Committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the chairman 
may lay down according to the urgency of the matter. The opinion shall be delivered by the majority 
laid down in Article 148(2) of the Treaty in the case of decisions which the Council is required to 
adopt on a proposal from the Commission. The votes of the representatives of the Member States 
within the Committee shall be weighted in the manner set out in that Article. The chairman shall not 
vote. 
The Commission shall adopt the measures, which shall apply immediately. However, if those 
measures are not in accordance with the opinion of the Committee, they shall be communicated by the 
Commission to the Council forthwith. In that event the Commission shall defer application of the 
measures upon which it has decided for three months from the date of such communication, 
1 OJNoL302, 19.10.1992, p. 1. Modified by the Act of Accession. 
b 
The Council, acting by qualified majority, may take a different decision within the period referred to in 
the previous indent. 
The Committee may examine any question concerning the application of Article 1 to 6 of this 
Regulation which is raised by its chairman, either on his own initiative or at the request of a 
Member State. 
Article 8 
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1997. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
