of 2 February 1998

opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas and

for certain products originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 77/98 of 9
January 1998 on certain procedures for applying the
Cooperation
European
Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Mace-

the

Whereas the Cooperation Agreement between the Euro-
pean Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia (2), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement',
enters into force on 1 January 1998;

Whereas the Agreement stipulates that certain products
originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Mace-
donia may be imported in the Community, within the
limits of tariff quotas or tariff ceilings, or in the frame-
work of reference quantities, with exemption of customs
duties; whereas the tariff quotas, tariff ceilings and refer-
ence quantities laid down in the Agreement are annual
and are repeated for an indeterminate period; whereas the
Agreement has already fixed the level of
the annual
increase of the tariff ceilings volume;

the Commission should adopt

Whereas
the imple-
menting measures for the opening and the administra-
tion of the Community tariff quotas; whereas particular
care should be taken to ensure that all Community
importers have equal and continuous access to those
quotas and that the rates laid down for the quotas are
applied uninterruptedly to all imports of the products in
question into all Member States until
the quotas are
exhausted; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common
administration of these quotas, there is no obstacle to
authorising the 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;

Commission must be able to take appropriate measures
to re-establish customs duties once a tariff ceiling is
reached and to determine the extent to which reference
quantities are used up;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2
July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation
of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the
Community Customs Code (3), as last amended by Regu-
lation (EC) No 75/98 (4), has codified the management
rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the
chronological order of dates of customs declarations as
