COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1835/95 of 24 July 1995 opening and providing for the  administration of Community tariff quotas for certain industrial, fishery and agricultural products  and amending Regulation (EC) No 2878/94 opening and providing for the administration of Community  tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products (fourth series 1995) 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 industrial products will remain in the course of  1995 unable 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 Communty tariff quotas at  reduced or zero duty should therefore be opened within the limits of appropriate volumes for a  period up to 31 December 1995 and, for eels (order number 09.2701), for the period 1 July 1995 to  30 June 1996, taking account of the need not to disturb the markets for such products nor the  starting up or development of Community production; Whereas by Regulation (EC) No 2878/94  (1) the Council opened, for 1995 Community tariff quotas for  certain industrial and fishery products, and in particular for magnetrons (order number 09.2797)  and for dianol 220 (order No 09.2859); Whereas current economic data suggest that the Community demand for non-Community imports of the  products in question could in the course of the year exceed the volumes laid down in the above  Regulation; whereas the volume of the quota in question should therefore be increased; 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 autonomous tariff quotas should be taken by the Community;  whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no  reasonable obstacle to authorizing Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary  quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas, however, 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, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 1.  From the date of entry into force of this Regulation and until  the date specified in the following table the customs duties applicable to imports into the  Community of the products listed below shall be suspended at the levels and within the limits of  the Community tariff quotas shown below: >TABLE> 2.  From 1 July 1995 until 30 June 1996, the customs duties applicable to imports into the  Community of the products listed below shall be suspended at the levels and within the limits of  the Community tariff quotas shown below: >TABLE> 3.  In Regulation (EC) No 2878/94 the table shown in Article 1 is amended as follows: (a)  for order number 09.2797, the figure '650  000` appearing in the column headed 'Amount of  quota` shall be replaced by '1  150  000`; (b)  for order number 09.2859, the figure '600` appearing in the column headed 'Amount of quota`  shall be replaced by '1  000`. Article 2 The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which  may take any appropriate administrative measures to ensure that they are managed efficiently. Article 3 Where an importer presents a declaration covered by this Regulation for release for  free circulation in a Member State, applying to take advantage of the preferential arrangements,  and the entry is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by  notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the appropriate  quota volume. Requests for drawings, indicating the date on which the entries were accepted, must be sent to the  Commission without delay. Drawings shall be granted by the Commission in chronological order of the dates on which the  customs authorities of the Member States concerned accepted the entries for release for free  circulation to the extent that the available balance so permits. If a Member State does not use a drawing in full it shall return any unused portion to the  corresponding quota volume as soon as possible. If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota volume, the balance  shall be allocated among applicants pro rata. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the  drawings made. Article 4 Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products in question have equal  and continuous access to the quotas for as long as the balance of the relevant quota volume so  permits. Article 5 The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this  Regulation is complied with. Article 6 This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in  the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States. Done at Brussels, 24 July 1995. For the Council The President P. SOLBES MIRA
