Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EC) 

modifying  Regulation (EC) 3059/95  opening and providing for the administration of Community 
tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products. 

(presented  by  the  Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

Subsequent  to  requests  made  by various  Member  States,  the  Services  of  the  Commission 
have  examined,  in  conjunction  with  the  Government  experts  concerned,  the  question  of 
opening in  1996 tariff quotas for various products. 

Following this examination,  which took  place during the "Economic Tariff Questions" group 
meetings, it has been determined  that  the opening and increase of tariff  quotas  for  industrial 
and fishery  products could  have the agreement  of the Member  States without  disturbing the 
markets for such products,

of 

modifying  Regulation  (EC) 3059/95  opening and providing for  the administration  of  Community

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof, 

I hiving regard lo the proposal  from  (he Commission, 

Whereas produclion  in the community of certain  industrial and 
fishery  products will remain in the course of  1996 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 by Regulation (HC)n°3059/95'  the Council opened, 
for  1996 Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and 
industrial products; whereas the volume of the quota for glass 
granulate (Order Nr. 09.2867), and felt tips (order Nr. 
09.2894) should be increased and new tariff quotas should be 
opened within the limits of appropriate volumes taking into 
account of the need not to disturb the markets for such 
products nor the starting out or development  of Community 
production.
