Agreement

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-
donia (1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 273/98 of 2
February 1998 opening and providing for the administra-
tion of Community tariff quotas and tariff ceilings and
establishing a Community surveillance of
reference
quantities for certain products originating in the former
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (2), provides in its Article
2 an exemption from customs duties in the framework of
tariff ceilings for the products listed in its Annex B;
Whereas Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 77/98
provides that the Commission may, as soon as a tariff
ceiling is reached, adopt a Regulation reintroducing, until
the end of the calendar year, the customs duties applic-
able to third countries in respect of imports of the prod-
ucts concerned; whereas the Community surveillance
provided by Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 273/98
has shown that preferential imports of products in the

framework of the tariff ceiling with order No 25.0230
have exceeded this ceiling;

Whereas this situation is liable to cause serious damage to
the Community sector concerned and requires the rein-
troduction of customs duties;

Whereas the levying of customs duties for these products
should therefore be re-established,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For products listed in the Annex and originating in the
former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, for which a tariff
ceiling was opened by Regulation (EC) No 273/98, the
levying of normal customs duties shall be reintroduced
from 26 June until 31 December 1998.

Article 2

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, 22 June 1998.
