COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1421/98

of 29 June 1998

amending Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and providing for the administra-
tion of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and indus-
trial products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

(cid:190) order number 09.2967: the amount of the tariff

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

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, by virtue of Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 (1), the
Council opened autonomous Community tariff quotas for
certain agricultural and industrial products; whereas
Community demand for the products in question should
be met under the most favourable conditions; whereas
Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened at
reduced or zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes, and
increased or extended in the case of certain existing tariff
quotas, avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these
products;

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be
amended,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
