On 20 December 1996, the Council adopted Regulation

Article 2

For the quota period from 1 January to 31 December 2006, in
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96, the amount of the
tariff quota for order number 09.2981 shall be fixed at
260 000 units.

Article 3

For the quota period from 1 January to 31 December 2007, in
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96:

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.

— the amount of the tariff quota for order number 09.2002

shall be fixed at 1 000 tonnes,

— the amount of the tariff quota for order number 09.2030

shall be fixed at 1 000 tonnes,

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.

— the amount of the tariff quota for order number 09.2612

shall be fixed at 1 900 tonnes,

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

— the amount of the tariff quota for order number 09.2620

shall be fixed at 1 000 000 units,

In view of the economic importance of this Regulation, it
is necessary to rely upon the grounds of urgency
provided for in point I.3 of the Protocol on the role of
national parliaments in the European Union annexed to
the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties estab-
lishing the European Community, the European Coal and
Steel Community and the European Atomic Energy
Community.

— the amount of the tariff quota for order number 09.2727

shall be fixed at 15 000 tonnes.
