Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

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

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

In response to requests from several Member States, the Commission’s departments, together
with  the  government  experts  concerned,  considered  whether  to  open,  increase  and  extend
autonomous tariff quotas for certain industrial products.

Following  the  discussion,  at  a  meeting  of  the  Economic  Tariff  Questions  Group,  it  was
concluded  that  the  Member  States  could  approve  new  quotas,  increases  or  extensions  to
quotas  for  the  products  covered  by  the  proposal  for  a  Regulation,  without  disturbing  the
markets for such products.

Hence the attached proposal for a Regulation.

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

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,

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

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission1,

Whereas:

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

(5) 

On  20th  December  1996  the  Council  adopted  Regulation  (EC)  No 2505/96  opening
Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products2. Community
demand  for  the  products  in  question  should  be  met  under  the  most  favourable
conditions.  New  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 and those products should therefore be removed from the table in
Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 2505/96.

In view of the large number of amendments coming into effect on 1 January 2003 and
in order to clarify matters for the user, the table in the Annex I to the above Regulation
should be replaced by the table in the Annex to this Regulation.

The  quota amount  for  certain autonomous  Community  tariff  quotas  is  insufficient  to
meet the needs of the Community industry for the current quota period. Consequently,
these  quota  amounts  should  be  increased  with  effect  from  1  January  2002  or  1  July
2002  depending  on  the  starting  date  of  these  quotas  and  therefore  to  envisage  the
immediate entry into force of this Regulation.

Tariff  quotas  for  certain  iron  and  steel  products  which  have  been  covered  by  the
Treaty  establishing  the  European  Coal  and  Steel  Community  are  subject,  from  the
expiry  date  of  that  Treaty,  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European  Community.  A
separate Annex, comprising these quotas, has consequently to be added to Regulation
(EC) No 2505/96.

(6) 

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