COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2802/2000

of 14 December 2000

amending Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and providing for the administration of
autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Com-
munity, and in particular Article 26 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

By virtue of Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 (1), the Council
opened Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural
and industrial products; Community demand for the
products in question should be met under the most
favourable conditions; 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, while avoiding any
disturbance to the markets for these products.

It is no longer in the Community’s interest to maintain
a Community tariff quota on some of the products
covered by the above Regulation, and those products
should therefore be removed from the table in Annex I.

In view of the large number of amendments coming
into effect on 1 January 2001 and in order to clarify
matters for the user, the table in Annex I to the above
Regulation should be replaced by the table in the Annex
to this Regulation.

Article 1

For the quota period from 1 January to 31 December 2000,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 shall be amended as
follows:

— order No 09.2799: the amount of the tariff quota shall be

altered to 47 000 tonnes;

— order No 09.2939: the amount of the tariff quota shall be

altered to 260 000 000 units;

— order No 09.2949: the amount of the tariff quota shall be

altered to 16 000 000 units;

— order No 09.2959: the amount of the tariff quota shall be

altered to 80 000 tonnes;

— order No 09.2985: the amount of the tariff quota shall be

altered to 200 000 units.

Article 2

The table in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 shall be
replaced by the table set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

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

Article 3

Having regard to the economic importance of this
Regulation for European industry it is necessary to
invoke the ground of urgency referred to in point 1(3)
of the Protocol annexed to the Treaty of Amsterdam on
the role of national parliaments in the European Union,

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of
publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

its

It shall apply from 1 January 2001, except for Article 1, which
shall apply from 1 January 2000.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 14 December 2000.
