COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 278/2003

of 6 February 2003

adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed
agricultural products originating in Poland

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

(5)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Commu-
nity and in particular Article 133 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

The measures necessary to implement this Regulation
should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision
1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the proce-
dures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred
on the Commission (5),

(3)

referred to as

Protocol 3 to the Europe Agreement between the
European Communities and their Member States, of the
one part, and the Republic of Poland, of the other part,
hereinafter
‘Europe Agreement with
Poland’ (1), provides for tariff concessions for processed
agricultural products originating in Poland. Protocol 3
has been amended by the Adaptation Protocol (2)
adjusting trade aspects of the Europe Agreement with
Poland.

The procedure for adopting a decision to amend the said
Adaptation Protocol was not completed in time for it to
enter into force on 1 January 2003. It is therefore neces-
sary to provide for the application of the concessions
granted in that Protocol to Poland on an autonomous
basis from 1 February 2003.

The new annual quotas provided for in the Annex
should be opened for the period from 1 February to 31
December 2003 and from 1 January to 31 December in
the following years. Furthermore, it should be specified
that any imports originating in Poland already made
after 1 February 2003 pursuant
to the tariff quotas
provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2364/2002 (3) are to
be considered as coming under the new tariff quotas. It
should be noted in this respect that the duties applied to
such imports made after 1 February 2003 shall be reim-
bursed as appropriate in accordance with the provisions
of Articles 878 to 898 of Commission Regulation (EEC)
No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for
the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No
2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (4).

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

From 1 February 2003 the processed agricultural products
originating in Poland listed in the Annex shall be granted tariff
concessions under the conditions indicated in that Annex. The
basic amounts to be taken into consideration in calculating the
reduced agricultural components (EAR) and additional duties
applicable to imports into the Community from Poland are
shown in Table 4 in the Annex.

Article 2

The quantities of goods which are subject to tariff quotas and
are released for free circulation as from 1 February 2003 in
accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2364/2002 before this
Regulation enters into force shall be included in the quantities
set out in the Annex.

Article 3

If Poland discontinues
the reciprocal
measures in favour of the Community, the Commission may,
in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 5(2),
suspend application of the measures provided for in Article 1.
