of 

abolishing certain quantitative restrictions and 

amendlng Annex  I to Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 

Community, 

Having regard to Council Regulation  (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February  1982 
on common rules for  imports^1*, as last amended by Regulation 
(EEC) No 3859/91<2), and  in particular Article 2, 

Having regard to the proposal  from the Commission, 

Whereas the common commercial policy  is based on uniform principles; 

whereas the common rules for  imports established by Regulation  (EEC) 

No 288/82 constitute an important part of this policy; whereas the 

I iberalization of  imports, namely the absence of all quantitative 

restrictions, subject to exceptions and derogations provided  for in 

Community  law, is the point of departure for such common rules; 

Whereas quantitative restrictions on  imports in the different Member 

States are set out  in a list contained  in Annex  I to Regulation  (EEC) 

No 288/82; 

(1)  O.J. nr L  35 of 09.02.1982, p.  1 
(2)  O.J. nr L 362 of 31.12.1991, p. 83 

Whereas,  for  a number of  such  restrictions maintained  by  certain Member 

States, notably  in respect  of  Japan, the economic  and  commercial 

situation warrants  thelr  abolition  in conformity with  Article  2 of 

Regulation  (EEC) No 288/82; 

Whereas,  in these circumstances Annex  I to Regulation  (EEC) No  288/82 

shouId be su i tabIy amended, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS  REGULATION: 

Article 1
