COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2559/2001

of 17 December 2001

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

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,

(4)

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

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 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 2002 and in order to clarify matters
for the user, the table in Annex I to the said Regulation

should be replaced by the table in the Annex to this
Regulation.

Having regard to the economic importance of this Regu-
lation the grounds of urgency should be invoked
provided for in point 1.3 of the Protocol annexed to the
Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties estab-
lishing the European Communities on the role of
national parliaments in the European Union.

(5)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

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

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that
of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communi-
ties.

It shall apply from 1 January 2002.

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

Done at Brussels, 17 December 2001.

For the Council

The President

A. NEYTS-UYTTEBROECK

(1) OJ L 345, 31.12.1996, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regula-
