C0M(92) 438 final 
Brussels, 26 October 1992 
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 
(1993) 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. Council Decision No 91/668/EEC, 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 of certain 
fish and fishery products listed in Annexes I, II and III. 
2. 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. 
3. The preferential rates of duty specified in Annexes I, M and III 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. 
4. 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. 
5. 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. 
I 
6. As in the case of other Community tariff quota, the proposal do not provide 
for the quota volumes to be allocated among the Member States, which will 
make drawings from the quota volumes to cover actual imports. 
7. The statistical surveillance 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 stat ist ics. 
This is the purpose of the attached proposal.

Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 
of 192 
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 
Faroe Islands (1993) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, reference price set, or to be set, by the Community for the 
products or categories of products concerned; 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 
thereof, 
Council Decision yi/668/LEC. of 
concerning the conclusion of the Having regard to 
2 December 1991 
Agreement between the European Economic Community, 
the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of 
Faroe Islands (')• 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 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 
n;ipo;i-> 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 Articles 3 and 8 of the abovementioned Decision 
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 Faroe 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 the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the 
Netherlands and the («rand 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 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 3796/81 of 
29 December 1981 on the common organization of the 
market in fishery products (2) is at least equal to the 
(') OJ NoL 371, 31. 12. 1991, p. 1. 
(2) OJ No L 379, 31. 12. 1981, p. 1. Regulation as last amended 
by Regulation (EEC) No 3468/88 (OJ No L 305, 
10. 11. 1988, p. 1). 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 one of the ceilings is reached; 
Whereas, for the products listed in Annex III, it would 
seem appropriate to have recourse to the system of 
H 
statistical surveillance administered by the Commission 
pursuant to the relevant provisions of Regulation (EEC) 
No 2658/87 (>) and (EEC) No 1736/75 (2), the requirements. The Member States shall be informed by 
the Commission of the quantities drawn.

within the limits of the Community tariff quotas specified
