Proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (HO 

amending Council Regulation (EC) No  1981/94 opening and providing for the administration of 
Community tariff quotas for certain products originating in Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, 
Jordan, Malta, Morocco, the Occupied Territories, Tunisia and Turkey, and providing 
detailed rules for extending and adapting these tariff quotas, and Council Regulation (EC) 
No 934/95 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 

The Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association  between the European Communities and their 
Member States, of the one part, and Israel, of the other part, was signed in Brussels on 20 November  1995. 
Pending its entry into force, an Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related  measures was signed with Israel 
on  18 December  1995 and entered  into force on  1  January  1996.  Protocol  1  to the Interim Agreement concerns 
the arrangements applying to imports into the Community of agricultural products originating in Israel; it 
provides for tariff quotas to be opened or reference quantities fixed for certain products.  Under an agreement in 
the form of an exchange of letters annexed to the Interim Agreement, Israel has also been guaranteed the right to 
export 200 000 tonnes of oranges to the Community at a reduced price. 

Regulations (EC) No  1981/94 and No 934/95 respectively established tariff quotas and reference quantities for 
certain products originating in Israel.  Both Regulations must therefore be amended in respect of products 
originating in Israel. 

In the interests of simplification  and efficiency,  it is proposed that the Commission be authorized, once the 
Customs Code Committee has given its opinion, to make any amendments to the two Regulations made 
necessary by the conclusion of agreements between the Community and the countries concerned. 

Such is the purpose of this proposal for a Regulation.

Community tariff  quotas for certain products originating  in Algeria. Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, 
Jordan,  Malta, Morocco, the Occupied Territories, Tunisia and Turkey, and providing 
detailed  rules for extending and adapting these tariff  quotas, and Council Regulation  (EC) 
No 934/95 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 

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 Community  tariff  quotas  have been opened  for  certain  products originating  in Israel under Annex II to 
Council  Regulation  (EC) No  1981/94 opening and  providing  for  the administration  of Community tariff  quotas 
for  certain  products  originating  in  Algeria,  Cyprus,  Egypt,  Israel,  Jordan.  Malta,  Morocco,  the  Occupied 
Territories, Tunisia and Turkey, and providing detailed  rules for extending and adapting these tariff  quotas;1 

Whereas  reference  quantities  have been established  for  certain  products  originating  in  Israel  under  Annex  II to 
Council  Regulation  (EC)  No 934/95  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;2 

Whereas,  pending  the  entry  into  force  of  the  Euro-Mediterranean  Agreement  establishing  an  association 
between  the  European  Communities  and  their  Member  States,  of  the  one  part,  and  Israel,  of  the  other  part, 
signed  in  Brussels  on  20 November  1995,  an  Interim  Agreement  between  the  European  Community  and  the 
European  Coal and Steel Community, of the one part,  and  Israel, of the other  part3, concerning trade and trade-
related  measures  was  signed  on  18 December  1995  and  entered  into  force  on  1  January  1996,  whereas 
Protocol  1 and  the  annex  VI  on  the  arrangements  applying  to  imports  into  the  Community  of  agricultural 
products  and  processed  agricultural  products  originating  in  Israel  provide  for  tariff  quotas  to  be  opened  or 
reference quantities established for certain products; 

Whereas  Regulations  (EC)  No  1981/94  and  (EC)  No 934/95  should  be  amended  in  respect  of  products 
originating  in  Israel;  whereas  the  amounts  of  the  tariff  quotas  for  some  products  are  to  be  increased  annually 
from  1  January  1997 to  1  January 2000  in four  equal  instalments  each  corresponding  to  3% of these  amounts; 
whereas  under  an  agreement  in  the  form  of  an  exchange  of  letters,  the  Community  has  undertaken  to  admit 
200 000 tonnes of Israeli oranges at reduced prices, 

Wliereas  in  the  interests  of  simplification  and  efficiency  and  by  analogy  with  the  procedures  applicable  to 
agriculture  and  processed  agricultural  products,  provision  should  be  made  for  the  Commission,  after  having 
sought  the  opinion  of  the  Customs  Code  Committee,  to  amend  Regulations  (EC)  No  1981/94  and  (EC) 
No 934/95 in the light of agreements concluded between the Community and the countries in question,
