EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1)  CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

•  Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

The  quota  amount  for  certain  autonomous  Community  tariff  quotas  is  insufficient  to 
meet the needs of the Community industry for the current quota period. In response to 
requests from several Member States, the Commission's departments, together with the 
government experts concerned, considered whether to open, increase, extend or close 
autonomous tariff quotas for certain industrial products. 

•  General context 

On 20 December 1996 the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and 
providing  for  the  administration  of  autonomous  Community  tariff  quotas  for  certain 
agricultural  and  industrial  products  so  that  Community  demand  for  the  products  in 
question  could  be  met  under  the  most  favourable  conditions.  New  Community  tariff 
quotas  should  be  opened  at  reduced  or  zero  rates  of  duty  for  appropriate  volumes, 
without  disturbing  the  markets  for  such  products.  Discussions  at  meetings  of  the 
Economic Tariff Questions Group showed that the Member States were ready to open, 
increase,  extend  or  close  quotas  for  the  products  covered  by  the  proposal  for  a 
Regulation, without disturbing the markets for such products. 

•  Provisions in force in the field covered by the proposal 

Regulation  (EC)  No 2505/96  (OJ  L  345,  31.12.1996).  Regulation  last  amended  by 
Regulation (EC) No 962/2006 (OJ L 176, 30.06.2006). 

•  Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union 

The  proposal  is  in  line  with  agricultural,  trade,  enterprise,  development  and  external 
relations policies. Especially this proposal is not at the expense of developing countries 
enjoying a preferential trading agreement with the EU (e.g. GSP, ACP regime). 

2)  CONSULTATION OF INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT 

•  Consultation of stakeholders 

Consultation methods, main sectors targeted and general profile of respondents 

The  Economic  Tariff  Questions  Group  representing  the  industries  of  each  Member 
State was consulted. 

Summary of responses and how they have been taken into account 

All listed quotas reflect the agreement reached by the Group.

the  operators  engaged  in  foreign  trade  and  in  accordance  with  the  Commission 
communication concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas (98/C 128/02). 

•  Choice of instruments 

Proposed instruments: Regulation 

Other instruments would not be appropriate for the following reasons: 

By virtue of Article 26 of the EC Treaty autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas are 
approved by the Council acting on a qualified majority on the basis of a Commission 
proposal. 

4)  BUDGETARY IMPLICATION 

Uncollected customs duties 

5)  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

•  Repeal of existing legislation 

Adopting this proposal will mean some legislation must be repealed.

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 Commission, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

On 20 December 1996 the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and 
providing  for  the  administration  of  autonomous  Community  tariff  quotas  for  certain 
agricultural  and  industrial  products.1  Since  community  demand  for  the  products  in 
question  is  to  be  met  under  the  most  favourable  conditions,  certain  existing  tariff 
quotas should be extended or adjusted, and some new Community tariff quotas should 
be opened at reduced or zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes, without disturbing 
the markets for these products. 

Since  the  quota  amount  for  one  Community  tariff  quota  is  insufficient  to  meet  the 
needs of Community industry for the current quota period, it should be increased with 
effect from 1 January 2006 

It is no longer in the Community interest to continue to grant Community tariff quotas 
in 2007 for certain products on which duties were suspended in 2006. These products 
should  therefore  be  removed  from  the  table  in  Annex  I  to  Regulation  (EC) 
No 2505/96. 

(4) 

In view of the many changes to be made, clarity requires Annex I to Regulation (EC) 
No 2505/96 to be replaced in its entirety. 

(5) 

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

(6) 

[Council  should  motivate  retroactivity  if  this  Regulation  enters  into  force  later  than 
1.1.2007]
