COM (89)491 final 
Brussels, 17 October 1989 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
opening tariff quotas for the importation into Spain of certain fisheries 
products originating in the Canary Islands or Ceuta and Mel il la (1990) 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas 
for certain fisheries products originating in the Canary Islands (1990) 
(presented by the Commission) 
Explanatory memorandum 
Article 3 of Protocol 2 to the Act of Accession of Spain and 
Portugal provides for reduced customs duties on limited quantities 
of certain fisheries products originating in the Canary Islands or 
Ceuta and Melilla. Under Community rules, such provisions are 
generally applied by means of a single Cbnmunity tariff quota open 
to all Member States. However, in order to comply with the terms of 
the abovementioned Article 3, which in itself constitutes a 
derogation from those general rules and which, moreover, makes a 
distinction between the transitional period and the subsequent 
period, two tariff measures are needed, one for the customs 
territory of Spain and the other for the other eleven Member States. 
This derogation will apply only during the transitional period. 
A. Provisions relating to Spain 
1. Article 3 of Protocol 2 to the 1985 Act of Accession provides 
that, within the limits of annual tariff quotas, the fisheries 
products listed in the Annex and originating in the Canary 
Islands or Ceuta and Melilla are to qualify for exemption from 
import duties when they are imported into that part of Spain 
which is included in the customs territory of the Community. 
Calculated on the basis of the abovementioned Article 3 and with 
the export statistics for the Canary Islands and Ceuta and 
Melilla taken into account, the quota volumes are as follows : 
- 17 596 tonnes of certain products falling within No ex 0301, ex 
0302, ex 0303 or ex 0304 of the Combined Nomenclature ; 
- 596 tonnes of certain products falling within No ex 0305 of the 
Combined Nomenclature; 
- 21 387 tonnes of certain products falling within Nos 1604 11 00 
to 1604 30 90 cf the Combined Nomenclature, and 
- 27 483 tonnes of products falling within No 2301 20 00 of the 
Combined Nomenclature. 
Where the said products are imported under these tariff quotas 
into that part of Spain they may not be deemed to be in free 
circulation within the meaning of Article 10 of the EEC Treaty 
should they subsequently be reoonsigned to another Member State. 
- 2 -
The above tariff quota should therefore be opened for the 
period 1 January to 31 December 1990. 
2. That is the purpose of the attached proposal (Annex I) 
B. Provisions relating to the other Member States . 
1. Article 3 of Protocol 2 and Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the 
Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal provide that, within 
the limits of annual Community tariff quotas, fisheries 
products listed in the Annex and originating in the Canary 
Islands or Ceuta and Melilla are to qualify for reductions 
in customs duties when imported into the Conmunity with the 
exception of Spain. Calculated on the basis of the 
abovementioned Article 3 and with the export statistics for 
the Canary Islands and Ceuta and Melilla taken into account, 
the quota volumes are as follows : 
- 604 tonnes of certain products falling within No ex 0301, 
ex 0302, ex 0303 or ex 0304 of the Combined Nomenclature; 
- 3 429 tonnes of certain products falling within No ex 0306 
or ex 0307 of the Combined Nomenclature ; 
- 539 tonnes of pertain products falling within Nos 
1604 11 00 to 1604 30 90 of the Combined Nomenclature and 
- 227 tonnes of products falling within No 2301 20 00 of the 
Combined Nomenclature. 
vtiere the said products are imported under these quotas, the 
customs duties applicable are to be reduced progressively 
according to the same timetable and under the same 
conditions as provided for in Article 173 of the Act of 
Accession, provided the reference prices are observed. 
- 3 -
The duties applicable on importation into Portugal are to be 
calculated in acxx>rdance with the relevant provisions of the 
Act of Accession. 
2. By its Itegulation (EEC) No 4161/87 of 22 December 1987, the 
Council laid down, consequent on the entry into force of the 
Combined Nomenclature, the basic duties to be adopted in the 
Comnunity as constituted at 31 December 1985 for the purpose 
of calculating the successive reductions "provided for in the 
Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal. These basic duties 
differ frequently from those in the former Common Customs 
Tariff. In consequence, the latter should be used as the 
basis for calculating the abovementioned successive 
reductions. 
3. In accordance with the provisions of Council Regulations 
(EEC) n*s 839/88 et .../89 , the collection of customs 
duties applicable in the Community as constituted on 31 
-December 1985 pursuant to the Act of Accession of Spain and 
Portugal to fishery products imported from Spain and 
Portugal, shall be totally suspended* 
However, the above mentioned Regulation (EEC) n* .../89 provides that this 
suspension is not applicable to certain fishery products listed in the 
amex to the Regulation in question. 
4. 
The proposal for a Regulation does not provide for them to 
be allocated among the Member States ; instead the Member 
States will draw the required quantities from the quota 
under the procedure laid down. 
5. That is the purpose of the attached proposal (Annex II).

to the ACT of Accession provide that, within the limits of 
annual Community tariff quotas, fisheries products listed in 
the Annex and originating in the Canary Islands or Ceuta and

into the customs territory of the Community with the 
exception of Spain; whereas this tariff preference applies only 
to products which have been imported during 1982,1*83 or 
1984; whereas mere is no trade in the said psùdmcts 
originating in Ceuta and Melilla and thus no need to open 
quotas for these products originating in those territories; 
whereas, calculated on the basis of the abovementxned 
Article 3, the quota volumes for these products originating m 
the Canary Islands axe as follows: 
— 604 tonnes of certain products falling within CN code 
ex 0301, ex 0302, ex 0303 or ex 0304, 
— 3 429 tonnes of certain products falling within CN code 
ex 0306 or ex 0307,

Whereas there are no imports of the other products; 
Whereas the products imported under these quotas are to 
qualify for the progressive reduction in customs duties 
according to the same timetable and under the same 
conditions as provided for in Article 173 of the Act of 
Accession, provided the reference prices are observed; 
whereas, by virtue of Regulation (EEC) No 3482/88 (*)» the 
customs duty applicable to the import into the Community of 
Ten, of prepared or preserved sardines of the species Sardina 
pilchardus, coming from Spain, shall be subject to a flat-rate 
reduction of five points; whereas, however, where the 
products concerned are imported into Portugal, the duties 
applicable are to be calculated in accordance with the 
relevant provisions of the Act of Accession;

Whereas at is poss&blethatfor certain products mdicanscf mf 
the Annex to mis Regulation the Conummity adopts a «aore 
favourable tariff regime to that cuueudy applicable, m the

appropriate, in the context, to grant to products originating 
in the Canary Islands treatment as favourable as that gran to 
the same products from that part of Spain included ha the 
customs territory of the (Community, as is provided for as 
Article 3 of Protocol 2 of the Act of Accession;

imports of the products in question into all Member States 
until the quotas are exhausted; whereas these quotas should 
not be allocated among the Member States, without 
prejudice to the drawing against the quota volumes of such 
quantities as they may need under the conditions and 
according to the procedure laid down in Article 5 
whereas this method of administration requires dose 
coopération between the Member Sûtes and the 
Commission and the latter must in particular be able to 
monitor the rate at which the quota is used and inform the 
Member States accordingly; 
Whereas the necessary measures should 
be taken to ensure that these tariff 
quotas are administered efficiently 
and on a Community basis, so that Member 
States have the option of drawing the 
necessary quantities corresponding to 
actual imports recorded, from the quota 
volumes; whereas this method of 
administration calls for close cooperation
