Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

opening and providing for the management of autonomous Community tariff quotas for 
certain agricultural and industrial products

1. 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

1.1. 

Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

Autonomous  Community tariff quotas are  needed for products where production in 
the  Community  is  insufficient  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  user  industry  in  the 
Communityfor  the  current  quota  period.  In  response  to  requests  from  several 
Member  States,  the  Commission,  together  with  the  government  experts  concerned, 
considered  whether  to  open  autonomous  tariff  quotas  for  certain  agricultural  and 
industrial products. 

1.2. 

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. In view of 
the  numerous  amendments  made  to  this  Regulation  and  the  transparency  policy  of 
the Commission the Regulation should be replaced by this proposal.  

Community  tariff  quotas  should  be  opened  at  zero  or  reduced  rates  of  the 
autonomous  Common  Customs  Tariff  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  quotas 
for  the  products  covered  by  the  proposal  for  a  Regulation,  without  disturbing  the 
markets for such products 

1.3. 

Provisions in force in the field covered by the proposal 

Regulation  (EC)  No 2505/96  (OJ  L  345,  31.12.1996,  p.1),  as  last  amended  by 
Regulation (EC) No 563/2009 (OJ L 168, 30.6.2009, p.1). 

1.4. 

Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union 

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

the operators engaged in foreign trade and with the Commission communication of 
1998 concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas (C 128, 25.4.1998, p.2). 

3.5. 

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 quotas are approved by 
the Council acting on a qualified majority on the basis of a Commission proposal.

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

opening and providing for the management 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) 

Production  in  the  Community  of  certain  agricultural  and  industrial  products  is 
insufficient to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Community. 
Consequently Community supplies of those products depend to a considerable extent 
on  imports  from  third  countries.  The  most  urgent  Community  requirements  for  the 
products  in  question  should  be  met  immediately  on  the  most  favorable  terms. 
Community tariff quotas at preferential duty rates should therefore be opened within 
the limits of appropriate volumes taking account of the need not to disturb the markets 
for  such  products  or  impede  the  establishment  or  development  of  Community 
production. 

It is necessary, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access 
to those quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for 
the  quotas  to  all  imports  of  the  products  concerned  into  all  Member  States  until  the 
quotas have been exhausted. 

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 Code1 provides for a system of tariff quota management which 
ensures equal and uninterrupted access to the quotas and uninterrupted application of 
the rates and follows the chronological order of dates of acceptance of declarations of 
release  for  free  circulation.  The  tariff  quotas  opened  by  this  Regulation  should 
therefore be managed by the Commission and the Member States in accordance with 
that system. 

(4) 

The quota volumes are mostly expressed in tonnes. For certain products for which an 
autonomous tariff quota is opened the quota volume is set out in another measurement 
unit. Where for those products no supplementary measurement unit is specified in the 
Combined  Nomenclature  laid  down  in  Annex  I  to  Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No 

1 

OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p.1.

   EN 

 
                                                 
2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common 
Customs Tariff2 there can be uncertainty in respect of the measurement unit used. For 
the  sake  of  clarity  and  in  the  interest  of  a  better  quotas  management  it  is  therefore 
necessary to provide that, in order to benefit from those autonomous tariff quotas, the 
exact quantity of the products imported are to be entered in ‘Box 41: Supplementary 
units’ of the declaration for release for free circulation using the measurement unit of 
the quota volume set out for those products in the Annex to this Regulation. 

(5) 

(6) 

Council Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 of 20 December 1996 opening and providing for 
the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and 
industrial  products3  has  been  amended  many  times.  In  the  interest  of  transparency  it 
should therefore be replaced in its entirety. 

The measures necessary for the the adoption of amendments of this Regulation arising 
from amendments of the Combined Nomenclature and TARIC codes shall be adopted 
in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the 
procedures for the exercise on implementing powers conferred on the Commission4. 

(7) 

Since the tariff quotas have to take effect from 1 January 2010, this Regulation should 
apply from the same date and enter into force immediately, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

Article 1 

For  the  products  listed  in  the  Annex  autonomous  Community  tariff  quotas  shall  be  opened 
within  which  the  autonomous  Common  Customs  Tariff  duties  shall  be  suspended  for  the 
periods, at the duty rates, and up to the volumes indicated therein. 

The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission in accordance 
with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. 

Article 2 

Article 3 

Where  a  declaration  for  release  for  free  circulation  is  presented  for  a  product  mentioned  in 
this Regulation, for which the quota volume is expressed in a measurement unit other than the 
weight in tonnes or kilogram and than the value, for products for which no supplementary unit 
is set out in the Combined Nomenclature laid down in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) 
No  2658/87,  the  exact  quantity  of  the  products  imported  shall  be  entered  in  “Box  41: 
Supplementary units” of that declaration using the measurement unit of the quota volume for 
those products as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
