COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 300/94 of 7 February 1994 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products originating in Israel (1994)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,  Whereas Articles 1 and 2 of the Fourth Additional Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the State of Israel (1) provide for the opening of Community tariff quotas for the import into the Community of:  - 17 000 tonnes of new potatoes, falling within CN code ex 0701 90 51 (1 January to 31 March),  - 11 200 tonnes of onions, fresh or chilled, falling within CN codes 0703 10 11, 0703 10 19 and ex 0709 90 90 (15 February to 15 May),  - 3 100 tonnes of carrots, falling within CN code ex 0706 10 00 (1 January to 31 March),  - 10 800 tonnes of celery sticks, falling within CN code ex 0709 40 00 (1 January to 30 April),  - 7 400 tonnes of sweet peppers and peppers, falling within CN code 0709 60 10,  - 6 400 tonnes of lemons, falling within CN code 0805 30 10,  - 7 800 tonnes of watermelons, falling within CN code 0807 10 10 (1 April to 15 June),  - 5 900 tonnes of oranges, finely ground, falling within CN code ex 0812 90 20,  - 2 800 tonnes of peeled tomatoes, falling within CN code ex 2002 10 10,  - 150 tonnes of apricot pulp, falling within CN code 2008 50 91,  - 82 700 tonnes of orange juice, falling within CN codes 2009 11 11, 2009 11 19, 2009 11 91, 2009 11 99, 2009 19 11, 2009 19 19, 2009 19 91 and 2009 19 99, of which not more than 20 000 tonnes may be imported in packing of a capacity of two litres or  less,  - 8 500 tonnes of tomato juice, falling within CN codes 2009 50 10 and 2009 50 90,  originating in Israel;  Whereas, however, the volumes of the tariff quotas must be increased by 3 or 5 % each year, as from 1 January 1992, by application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1764/92 of 29 June 1992 amending the arrangements for the import into the Community of  certain agricultural products originating in Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria and Tunisa (2); whereas the Community tariff quotas in question should therefore be opened for the periods indicated in Article 1 of this  Regulation;  Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned  into all Member States until the quotas have been used up;  Whereas, the decision for the opening of tariff quotas should be taken by the Community in the execution of its international obligations; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to  authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in  particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;  Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of these quotas may be carried  out by any of its members,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  The customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of the products listed below originating in Israel shall be suspended during the periods, at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below:  >(3)()"> ID="1">09.1309> ID="2">ex 0701 90 51> ID="3">New potatoes> ID="4">1. 1 - 31. 3. 1994> ID="5">18 530> ID="6">0 "> ID="1">09.1335> ID="2">ex 0703 10 11> ID="3">Onions, fresh or chilled> ID="4">15. 2 - 15. 5. 1994> ID="5">12 880> ID="6">0  "> ID="2">ex 0703 10 19> ID="3">Wild onions of the species Muscari comosum"> ID="2">ex 0709 90 90"> ID="1">09.1317> ID="2">ex 0706 10 00> ID="3">Carrots> ID="4">1. 1 - 31. 3. 1994> ID="5">3 565> ID="6">0 "> ID="1">09.1321> ID="2">ex 0709 40 00>  ID="3">Celery sticks> ID="4">1. 1 - 30. 4. 1994> ID="5">12 420> ID="6">0 "> ID="1">09.1303> ID="2">0709 60 10> ID="3">Sweet peppers and peppers> ID="4">1. 1 - 31. 12. 1994> ID="5">8 510> ID="6">0 "> ID="1">09.1315> ID="2">ex 0805 30 10> ID="3">Lemons,  fresh> ID="4">1. 1 - 31. 12. 1994> ID="5">7 360> ID="6">0 "> ID="1">09.1327> ID="2">ex 0807 10 10> ID="3">Watermelons> ID="4">1. 4 - 15. 6. 1994> ID="5">8 970> ID="6">0 "> ID="1">09.1337> ID="2">ex 0812 90 20> ID="3">Oranges finely ground> ID="4">1. 1  - 31. 12. 1994> ID="5">6 431> ID="6">0 "> ID="1">09.1307> ID="2">ex 2002 10 10> ID="3">Peeled tomatoes> ID="4">1. 1 - 31. 12. 1994> ID="5">3 052> ID="6">0 "> ID="1">09.1301> ID="2">ex 2008 50 91> ID="3">Apricot pulp, not containing added alcohol or  sugar, in immediate packings of a net content of 4,5 kg or more> ID="4">1. 1 - 31. 12. 1994> ID="5">172> ID="6">0 "> ID="1">09.1331> ID="2">2009 11 11> ID="3">Orange juice> ID="4">1. 1 - 31. 12. 1994> ID="5">90 143> ID="6">0 + AGR"> ID="2">2009 11 19>  ID="6">0 "> ID="2">2009 11 91> ID="6">0 + AGR"> ID="2">2009 11 99> ID="6">0 "> ID="2">2009 19 11> ID="6">0 + AGR"> ID="2">2009 19 19> ID="6">0 "> ID="2">2009 19 91> ID="6">0 + AGR"> ID="2">2009 19 99> ID="6">0 "> ID="1">09.1333> ID="2">ex 2009 11  11> ID="3">Of which:> ID="4">1. 1 - 31. 12. 1994> ID="5">21 800> ID="6">0 + AGR"> ID="2">ex 2009 11 19> ID="3">Orange juice imported in packings of a capacity of two litres or less> ID="6">0 "> ID="2">ex 2009 11 91> ID="6">0 + AGR"> ID="2">ex 2009 11  99> ID="6">0 "> ID="2">ex 2009 19 11> ID="6">0 + AGR"> ID="2">ex 2009 19 19> ID="6">0 "> ID="2">ex 2009 19 91> ID="6">0 + AGR"> ID="2">ex 2009 19 99> ID="6">0 "> ID="1">09.1319> ID="2">2009 50 10> ID="3">Tomato juice> ID="4">1. 1 - 31. 12. 1994>  ID="5">9 775> ID="6">0 "> ID="2">2009 50 90""    > Article 2  The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take all appropriate administrative measures in order to ensure efficient management thereof.
