Brussels, 8 September 1989 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
suspending wholly or In part the Common Customs Tariff duties 
on certain agricultural products originating In Turkey 
(1990) 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPIABWECRY HTCRMOUM 
1. The additional Protocol and the Supplementary Protocol concluded 
by the Oomnunity with Turkey provide for certain partial or total 
suspensions of duty on agricultural products falling within 
Chapters 1 - 24 of the Common Customs Tariff. 
In addition, the Council decided that, with effect from 1 January 
1974, Turkey should not be treated lees favourably than those 
countries and territories which qualify for generalized tariff 
prefer! 
2. The purpose of this proposal for a Regulation is to implement 
that decision. It extends to Turkey for 1990»on a unilateral 
basis, the total or partial suspensions of duties proposed by the 
Commission under the generalized tariff preferences scheme. These 
suspensions are, however, confined to those products falling 
within Chapters 1-24 in respect of which no provision is made for 
more favourable treatment in the ajreemsnLs with Turkey. 
3. Within the limite of thesersuspensions # Spain and Portugal will apply 
customs duties calculated in accordance with Regulation (EEC) no 
2573/87 Laying down the arrangements applicable to Spain's and 
Portugal's trade with Turkey. 
However, for the products relating to Regulation (EEC) no. 1035/72 (order nos. 15.0001 / 
15.0003 and 15.0005) Portugal will defer til application of the preferential scheme 
until 31 December 1990. Uhtil then, the tariff concessions relative to the said pro­
ducts will only apply to the Ccmunity with the exception of Portugal 
Attention is drawn to the fact that : 
(i)the proposal for a Regulation is based on the Supplementary 
Protocol which entered into force on 1 March 1966 (1); 
(ii)the enacting terms of the Régulation and the lists of products 
annexed to it are based on the proposals which the Commission 
has presented to the Council concerning generalized tariff 
preferences for agricultural products.
