COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 715/90  of 5 March 1990  on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the ACP States or in the overseas countries and  territories (OCT) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 113 thereof,   Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3033/30 of 11 November 1980 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3743/87 (2), and  in particular Article 12 thereof,   Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),   Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),   Whereas the Fourth ACP-EEC Convention, hereinafter referred to as the 'Convention' was signed at Lomé on 15 December 1989;   Whereas Article 168 (2) (a) of the Convention lays down that products originating in the ACP States and:   - listed in Annex II to the Treaty, when they come under a common organization of the market within the meaning of Article 40 of the Treaty, or -subject, on importation into the Community, to specific rules introduced as a result of the implementation of the common agricultural policy, shall be imported into the Community, notwithstanding the general arrangements applied in respect of third  countries, in accordance with the following provisions:  (i) those products shall be imported free of customs duties for which Community provisions in force at the time of import do not provide, apart from customs duties, for the application of any measure relating to their import;    (ii)for products other than those referred to under (i), the Community shall take the necessary measures to ensure more favourable treatment than that granted to third countries benefiting from the most-favoured-nation clause for the same products;  Whereas Article 168 (2) (d) of the Convention lays down that the arrangements referred to under point (a) of that paragraph shall enter into force at the same time as the Convention and shall remain applicable for its duration;   Whereas it has been agreed to apply the arrangements on trade in agricultural products and foodstuffs set out in Article 168 (2) (a) of the Convention to the ACP States signatories to the Convention as from 1 March 1990, that is to say before the  Convention enters into force;   Whereas the Regulations on the common organization of the markets in the sectors concerned establish trade arrangements with third countries;   Whereas for the purposes of this Regulation, the term 'import duties' shall be interpreted in accordance with Article 1 (2) (a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 of 28 March 1983 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duties (5) as  last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4235/88 (6);   Whereas, on the one hand, these trade arrangements provide for the application of customs duties only on the import of a number of products; whereas, on the other hand, they involve the application of customs duties and/or import levies especially on  certain kinds of meat and products processed from fruit and vegetables, the charging of levies in respect of cereals, rice and products processed from cereals and rice, the charging of an ad valorem duty and a variable component on certain goods  resulting from the application of customs duties and other measures in respect of imports of fishery products, certain fruit and vegetables, and oils and fats; whereas the obligations of the Community towards the ACP States under Article 168 (2) (a) of  the Convention may be fulfilled by granting total or partial exemption from import duties for the products in question where they originate in the ACP States;     Whereas it should be specified that the advantages resulting from Article 168 (2) (a) of the Convention are accorded only to originating products within the meaning of Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and  methods of administrative cooperation, annexed to the Convention, the early application of which was approved in Regulation (EEC) No 714/90 (1);   Whereas, furthermore, these advantages should be combined with certain conditions and limited to certain annual and multinational quantities on a case-by-case basis;   Whereas there have traditionally been trade flows from the ACP States to the French overseas departments; whereas measures should therefore be introduced to encourage the importation of certain products originating in the ACP into these French overseas  departments to cover local consumption requirements, including consumption following processing; whereas provision should be made for altering the arrangements governing access to the markets in products originating in the ACP States referred to in  Article 168 (2) of the Convention, particularly in the light of the said departments' economic development requirements;   Whereas it should be stipulated that the safeguard clauses provided for in the Regulations on the common organization of the agricultural markets and in specific rules introduced as a result of the implementation of the common agricultural policy are  applicable; whereas by virtue of the early application of the trade cooperation provisions of the Convention, Article 177 thereof shall be applied as a complement to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1316/87 of 11 May 1987 on the safeguard measures provided  for in the Third ACP-EEC Convention (1), which remains applicable during the transitional period and will be replaced by an implementing regulation valid for the duration of the Fourth Convention;   Whereas the association of the Community with the overseas countries and territories, hereinafter referred to as 'the countries and territories', is governed by Decision 86/283/EEC (2) as last amended by Decision 90/146/EEC (3) and Decision 86/47/EEC  (4), as last amended by Decision 86/645/EEC (5), in respect of the import arrangements for agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products and in respect of the rules of origin,  with its safeguard clauses  applying as complementary measures; whereas, upon the entry into force of a new Decision, the provisions which it lays down will be applicable;   Whereas fishery products are subject to the provisions of Article 1 of the Protocol on special arrangements for Greenland, annexed to the Treaty amending, with regard to Greenland, the Treaties establishing the European Communities signed on 13 March  1984 (6), and to those of Council Regulation (EEC) No 225/85 of 29 January 1985 laying down certain specific measures in connection with the special arrangements on fisheries applicable to Greenland (7);   Whereas, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1820/87 of 25 June 1987 concerning the application of Decision No 2/87 of the ACP-EEC Council of Ministers on the advance implementation of the Protocol to the Third ACP-EEC Convention consequent on the  Accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the European Communities (8), the transitional measures applicable to imports into Spain and Portugal of products originating in the ACP States, as laid down in the said Protocol, shall,  for the periods provided for in that Protocol, also be applicable in the framework of the Convention,   HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:   Article 1   1.  This Regulation shall apply to products originating in the ACP States listed in Annex I or in the countries and territories listed in Annex II.   2.  The rules of origin applicable to products imported from the ACP States on the one hand and the countries and territories on the other shall be those in Protocol 1 to the Convention and those laid down in Article 2 of Decision 90/146/EEC  respectively. These provisions shall cease with effect from the entry into force of the similar rules contained in the Decision to be taken on the association of the countries and territories.   3.  Should there be a change in the status of the countries and territories listed in Annex II, the list of States, countries and territories referred to in Annexes I and II shall be adapted accordingly by the Commission.

Where, in the course of a year, imports into the Community of products falling within CN codes 0201, 0202, 0206 10 95, 0206 29 91, 1602 50 10 or 1602 90 61, originating in an ACP State or country or territory exceed a quantity equivalent to imports  into the Community during whichever year between 1969 and 1974 Community imports of products of that origin were highest, plus an annual growth rate of 7 %, exemption from customs duties on the products of that origin shall be partially or totally  suspended in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27.   In that event the Commission shall report to the Council which, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall determine the arrangements to be applied to the imports in questions.  Article 3   Within the country-by-country and overall limits referred to in Article 4, import duties other than customs duties, applied to products originating in the ACP States and referred to in Article 1 (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 shall be  reduced by an amount to be fixed quarterly by the Commission, corresponding to 90 % of the average import duties applicable during a reference period.
