NOTICE TO IMPORTERS

(2004/C 115/13)

Preferential imports of canned tuna fish from Turkey

By a notice to importers published in the Official Journal of the European Communities C 366 of 20.12.2000,
p. 16, the Commission informed operators that there were reasonable doubts concerning the proper appli-
cation of the preferential treatment enjoyed by Turkey and the applicability of the evidence of origin
presented in the European Community for tuna products under tariff heading 16.04 coming from Turkey.
The reasonable doubt stemmed from the surveillance operations carried out and the finding by the
Commission that administrative cooperation between the Turkish and Community authorities were not
applied properly.

The rules of origin and related methods of administrative co-operation are laid down in Protocol 3 of Deci-
sion 1/98 of the EC-Turkey Association Council on trade regime for agricultural products. Turkey has
recently introduced changes in its national legislation and operational practices, in order to comply with
these provisions. In addition, the Turkish competent authorities have committed themselves to ensure an
adequate monitoring of their functioning and to perform the necessary controls.

The conditions for a proper functioning of the administrative co-operation in that field having thus been
restored, the notice to importers concerning tuna imports from Turkey, of 20 December 2000, is with-
drawn.
