COM(96) 639 final 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 
amending Regulation (EC) /96 opening and providing for the administration of 
autonomous Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products, 
and amending Regulation (EC) 3059/95 opening and providing for the administration 
of autonomous Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products 
and Regulation (EC) n° 789/96 opening and providing for the administration of 
autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products (1996) 
(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMOR/ J 
1. 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 increasing and opening tariff quotas for certain 
industrial and fishery products. 
2. Following this examination, which took place during the "Economic Tariff 
Questions" group meetings, it has been determined that a solution, according 
to which tariff quotas would be opened for the products covered by this 
proposal could have the agreement of the Member States without disturbing 
the markets for such products, 
3 Having regard to the requirements of the internal and external policies of the 
Community, the Commission is proposing the increase of tariff quota (cod), to 
ensure continuation of Community production in accordance with the rules and 
obligations of the common organisation of the markets, and to ensure supply of 
the processing industries while also taking into account the current and 
foreseeable situation on the international market. 
This is the purpose of the attached proposal. 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No ...796 
of 
amending Regulation (EC) /96 opening and providing for the administration of 
autonomous Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products, and amending 
Regulation (EC) 3059/95 opening and providing for the administration of 
autonomous Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products 
and Regulation (EC) n° 789/96 opening and providing for the administration of 
autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products (1996) 
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 by Regulation (EC)n°789/96* the Council opened, for 1996 Community tariff quotas for 
certain fishery products; whereas the volume of the quota for cod (Order Nr. 09.2753) should be 
increased; 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
1 In the Regulation (EC) n° 789/96, the table shown in the Annex is replaced, for the order n° 
09.2753 by the table shown in the Annex I of this Regulation.
