Proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EC> 

modifying Regulation (EC) No 1823/96 
opening and providing for the administration of autonomous 
Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products (second series 1996) 

(presented  by  the  Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

Following  request  made by  a Member  State, the Commission  services  conducted  a  study of the 
possibilities  for  modifying  Regulation  (EC)  No  1823/96  opening  and  providing  a  community 
tariff quota for herrings. 

In  order  to  protect  Community  industry  and  to  promote  herring  processing  in the  Community, 
tariff  quota  09.2788  opened  by  Regulation  (EC)  No  1823/96,  totally  excluding  processed 
herrings, includes sides of herrings. 

It is, therefore,  necessary to include in Regulation  (EC) No  1823/96 the production  operation  of 
sides of herrings to allow it to benefit from the herrings tariff quota. 

This is the purpose of the attached proposal.
