Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EQ 

establishing tariff ceilings and a Community statistical surveillance in the framework 
of reference quantities for a certain number of products originating 
in Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Tunisia, Syria, Malta, 
Morocco and the Occupied Territories 

(presented  by  the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

1. 

2. 

3. 

4. 

5. 

The  additional  protocols  to  the  agreements  between  the European  Community,  of the  one 
part,  and  Cyprus,  Egypt,  Jordan,  Israel,  Tunisia,  Syria,  Malta  and  Morocco,  of  the  other, 
provide  for  the  establishment  of  reference  quantities  for  certain  agricultural  products 
originating in those countries. 

The  1970  Agreement  establishing  an  association  between  the  European  Community  and 
Malta,  supplemented  by  the  Additional  Protocol,  the  Supplementary  Protocol  and  the 
Protocol extending the first  stage of the Agreement,  exempts from duties, subject  to  annual 
tariff ceilings, a certain number of textile products originating in that country. 

Council Regulation (EEC) No  1134/91 on the tariff arrangements applicable to imports into 
the  Community  of  products  originating  in  the  Occupied  Territories  provides  for  customs 
duties  on  some  of  these  products  to  be  suspended  within  the  framework  of  reference 
quantities. 

The  products  to  be  subjected  to  the  ceilings  and  reference  quantities,  the  limits  of  these 
measures and the rates of the preferential  duties are laid down in the  above agreements and 
Regulation  (EEC) No  1134/91.  Under  Council  Regulation  (EEC) No  1764/92  or  the 
agreements themselves, there will be annual increases  until 31 December  1995. 

Though  multiannual,  these  tariff  measures  are  implemented  by  Council  regulations  which 
are valid for only one year. 

The  renewal  of  these  regulations  involves  no  change  to  their  substance.  The  adoption 
procedures, however, take up a considerable amount of time. 

The Commission therefore  takes the view that the provisions concerning the tariff  measures 
in question  should  be grouped  together  in a single regulation,  which, with the exception  of 
the annexes thereto, would  be of indeterminate duration.  The annexes would  be adapted  at 
regular intervals in the light  of changes  to the Combined  Nomenclature  or  decisions by the 
Council. 

A similar solution was adopted  by the Council in the matter  of Mediterranean tariff  quotas. 
Provisions  for  the  implementation  and  management  of  those  quotas  were  adopted  for  an 
indeterminate period by means of Council Regulation (EC) No  1981/94 of 25 July  1994 (OJ 
No L  199, 2.8.1994,  p. 1). 

6. 

The attached  draft  Regulation  groups  together  tariff  measures,  other than  quotas,  affecting 
the Mediterranean countries. 

It  also  excludes  tariff  measures,  the  annual  opening  and/or  increase  of which  are  linked  to 
the system of generalized  preferences. 

A 

The period  of validity of the measures  covered  by the Annexes to  this draft  Regulation  lies 
between  1 November  1994  and  31 December  1996.  As  with  the  tariff  quotas  mentioned 
above,  the  latter  date  was  chosen  by  analogy  with  the  above-mentioned  tariff  quotas. 
Furthermore,  the  accession  of  new  countries  to  the  Community  will  also  result  in 
amendments to the Annexes to this draft  Regulation. 

The  timetables  for  the  opening  of  the  reference  quantities  remain  as  laid  down  in  the 
agreements. 

7. 

The  Commission  believes  that  it  should  be  mandated,  as  under  the  aforementioned 
Regulation (EC)  1981/94,  to  make  the  necessary  technical  adaptations  to  the  Regulation 
and the measures contained  therein.  This mandate will cover  any amendments that  may be 
required under the existing agreements  following: 

amendments to the Combined Nomenclature and Taric codes, 
decisions of the Council, 
extension of existing tariff measures. 

The  Commission  considers  that  the  opinion  of  the  Customs  Code  Committee  should  be 
sought  before  such  adaptations  are  adopted.  The  Committee  will  deliver  its  opinion 
according to the procedure laid down in Article  10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87  on the 
tariff and statistical nomenclature and the Common Customs Tariff. 

8. 

To  conclude,  this  proposal  is  a  logical  follow-up  to  Regulation (EC) No  1981/94.  It 
contains the same innovative aspects as that Regulation, namely: 

its multiannual  character, 
the grouping together of the countries and products concerned, 
the delegation of powers to the Commission, 
the opinion of the Customs Code Committee. 

9. 

The  purpose  of  this  proposal  has  been  set  out  above.  The  Council  is  being  asked  to 
approve this proposal and, at the same time, open the tariff measures  set out in the Annexes 
thereto.

Morocco and the Occupied Territories 

i c\ 

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 Article 2 of Annex I to the Agreement establishing an association between the European 
Community  and  Malta1,  as  supplemented  by  the  Additional  Protocol2,  by  the  Supplementary 
Protocol to the Agreement3 and the Protocol extending the first stage of this Agreement4, exempts 
from duties,  subject  to  tariff  ceilings,  certain  products  falling  within  Chapters  52  to  63  of  the 
Combined Nomenclature and originating in Malta; 

Whereas the Additional Protocols to the Agreements between the European Community, of the one 
part,  and Cyprus5, Egypt6,  Jordan7, Israel8,  Tunisia9,  Syria10, Malta and Morocco11,  of the other, 
provide for the progressive reduction, subject to reference quantities and to statistical Community 
surveillance,  of the customs duties applicable to  certain agricultural  products originating in those 
countries according to set timetables; 

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No  1134/91 concerning the tariff regime applicable to imports 
in the Community of products originating in the Occupied Territoties12 provides for the elimination 
on  1 January 1993, according to a set timetable, of customs duties on products listed in Annex II 
thereto and originating in these territories, and that certain of these products should be subject to 
reference quantities; 

Whereas, by 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, Malta, Morocco,  Syria and Tunisia13, the Community unilaterally increased 
the amount of the above reference  quantities in equal tranches of 3% or 5% per year starting on 
1 January 1992; 

Whereas  the  agreements  concerned  and  Regulation  (EEC)  No  1134/91  are  of  indeterminate 
duration; whereas the agreements and the abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No  1764/92 lay down 
the rates for the annual increases in the tariff ceilings and reference quantities; whereas, therefore, 
the tariff measures in question should likewise be of indeterminate duration; whereas, however, in 
view  of  the  negotiations  under  way  for  the  imminent  renewal  of  some  of  the  agreements  in 
question, the application of these measures should be rationalized by grouping them together in a 
single regulation;

Whereas the tariff measures  provided  for  in this Regulation  should be  opened; whereas  the  scope 
and period  of validity  of  each of these  measures  of which the  duration of validity  is  limited  to  31 
December  1996 are set out in the Annexes; 

Whereas amendments to the Combined Nomenclature and Taric codes, and the extension under the 
present agreements of the tariff measures in question, require no  changes of substance; whereas, in 
the interests of simplicity and without prejudice to the specific  procedures laid down by the Council 
Regulation (EC) No  3448/93,  of  6  December  1993,  determining  the  trade  regime  applicable  to 
certain  goods  resulting  from  the  transformation  of  agricultural  products14,  provision  should  be 
made  for  the  Commission  to  make  the  necessary  amendments  and  technical  adaptations  to  this 
Regulation after first having obtained the opinion of the Customs Code Committee; 

Whereas  the  decision  to  establish  tariff  ceilings  and  reference  quantities  should  be  taken  by  the 
Community; whereas it is also for the Community to  establish the relevant  surveillance  systems for 
these two tariff measures; 

Whereas  customs  duties  suspended  within  the  limits  of  tariff  ceilings  may  be  re-established  once 
those  limits have been reached  at Community  level; whereas  the  application  of  ceilings  calls  for  a 
system  of  surveillance  that  enables  the  Commission  to  be  kept  abreast  of  the  trend  in  imports  of 
products subject to such measures; 

Whereas  the  administration  of  the  tariff  ceilings  requires  close  and  particularly  rapid  cooperation 
between the Member States and the Commission,  and the latter must in particular be able to  follow 
the  progress  of  quantities  charged  against  the  ceilings  and  keep  the  Member  States  informed; 
whereas  this  cooperation  has to  be  all the  more  close  because  the  Commission  has  to  be  able  to 
take  appropriate  action  whenever  a  ceiling  is  reached;  whereas,  to  ensure  the  efficiency  of  this 
surveillance  system,  Member  States  must  charge  imports  of  the  products  in  question  against  the 
ceilings as and when the products are entered with customs for free circulation; 

Whereas, as regards the products subject to reference  quantities, Article 3(2) of Council Regulation 
(EEC) No 451/89 of 20 February  198915 establishes procedures for modifying  of the status of these 
products by submitting them, if neccesary  , to tariff quotas; whereas Article 3  (2)  of the  regulation 
provides  for  a  system  of  surveillance;  whereas  such  surveillance  must  notably  enable  the 
Commission to draw up an annual trade balance sheet for each of the products concerned,

Mr 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION 

Title I 

Tariff ceilings 

Article 1 

1. 

Imports into the Community of products originating in Malta and listed in Annex I to this 
Regulation shall be subject to annual ceilings and Community surveillance. 

The relevant CN codes, order numbers and TARIC codes, together with  the levels of the 
ceilings, are set out in the table in Annex I. 

2. 

Quantities shall be charged against the ceilings as and when the products are entered with 
customs for free circulation accompanied by a movement certificate in accordance with the 
rules contained in the Protocol defining the concept of originating products and methods of 
administrative cooperation annexed to the Protocol laying down certain provisions relating 
to  the  Agreement  establishing  an  association  between  the  European  Community  and 
Malta.16 

Goods  may be  charged  against  the  ceiling  only  if the  movement  certificate  is  presented 
before the date on which customs duties are re-established. 

The extent to which a ceiling is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis 
of the imports charged against it in the manner laid down in the preceding subparagraphs. 

Member States shall inform the Commission of imports charged under the above procedure 
at the intervals and within the time limits specified in paragraph 4. 

3. 

4. 

As soon as the ceilings are reached, the Commission may adopt a regulation re-establishing, 
until the end of the calendar year, the customs duties applicable to third countries. 

The Member States shall provide the Commission, by  the fifteenth day of each month at the 
latest, with statements of the imports charged the previous month.

1. 

Imports into the Community of certain products listed in Annex II to this Regulation and 
originating  in  Cyprus,  Egypt,  Jordan,  Israel,  Tunisia,  Syria,  Malta,  Morocco  and  the 
Occupied  Territories  shall be  subject  to  reference  quantities  under  set  timetables  and to 
Community statistical surveillance. 

The relevant  CN  codes  and,  where  appropriate,  their order  numbers  and  TARIC codes, 
together with  the levels of the reference quantities and the relevant timetables, are set out 
in the table in Annex II. 

2.  Within the  limits  of  the  reference  quantities,  preferential  treatment  shall  be  accorded  to 
products  entered  with  customs  for  free  circulation  and  accompanied  by  a  movement 
certificate.  The movement certificate must comply with the rules laid down in the protocol 
defining the concept of originating products annexed to each of the agreements between the 
European Community and the countries referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1, 
with the exception of the Occupied Territories.  The concept of products originating in the 
Occupied  Territories  is  defined  by  the  provisions  of  Commission  Regulation  (EEC)  No 
2454/93, of 2 July 199317. 

The extent to which the reference quantities are used up shall be determined at Community 
level  on the basis of the imports  charged  against them in the manner defined  in the  first 
subparagraph,  as communicated to the  Statistical  Office  of the European Communities in 
application of Regulations (EEC) No 2658/8718 and (EEC) No  1736/75.19
