                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1 . The 1971 Agreement between the European Economic Community and Malta , as
    amended by the Additional Protocol to that Agreement , was extended until
    31 December 1990 by the Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement .        It
    provides in particular for the abolition of Common Customs Tariff duties on
    industrial products . By way of derogation from that provision , special
    arrangements apply to a number of sensitive products which may be imported
    duty-free subject to an annual ceiling . When that ceiling is reached the
    Community may reimpose until the end of the calendar year the customs
    duties applicable to third countries .
2 . In order to implement the system of ceilings and exercise the option of
    reimposing customs duties , detailed common rules must be adopted and
    applied uniformly by all the Member States . These requirements may be met
    by setting up a Community system of surveillance of imports from Malta . To
    that end the Member States must take appropriate measures to enable
    statistical returns for the whole Community to be collected rapidly .
    Imports of the products concerned should be recorded only as and when they
    are entered for free circulation accompanied by a movement certificate in
    accordance with the rules laid down in the Agreement referred to at 1
    above .
    Each Member State will compile these statistical returns at the end of each
    month and forward them to the Commission before the fifteenth day of the
    following month to enable the Commission to send all the Member States a
    comprehensive product -by-product statement of the imports in question
    during the previous month . The surveillance system will require prompt
    action and close cooperation between the departments concerned in the
    Member States and the Commission . Since the products concerned belong to
    the category of sensitive products and duty-free imports in excess of the
    ceilings may disturb the Community market , it is absolutely essential that
    all the Member States strictly observe the above-mentioned time-limit of
    fifteen days .
 ---pagebreak--- The following procedure will be used for setting in train the machinery for
reimposing duties : as soon as one of the comprehensive monthly statements
compiled by the Commission shows that 75% of the ceiling fixed for a given
product has been reached , the Commission will inform the Member States and
consultations may take place , in particular within the Economic Tariff
Problems Group ,    either at the request of a Member State or on the
Commission 's own initiative . The purpose of these consultations will be to
examine in each individual case whether the customs duties applicable to
third countries should be reimposed when the ceiling is actually reached .
Imports of the product in question will continue to be the subject of
monthly returns or ,    if the Commission so requests , of telex messages
covering each period of ten days . Such messages must reach the Commision
within five days .
The Commission can thus take ,     within the shortest possible time ,   the
measures required for the adoption of a regulation reimposing customs
duties in respect of Malta until the end of the calendar year . In that
event , the customs duties on the product in question would naturally be
reimposed   within the   time  limit  laid down   by the  regulation  ending
exemption from duties .
The attached proposal provides for the Council to delegate to the
Commission responsibility for implementing the ceilings and reimposing
duties where appropriate .
The proposal for a Regulation merely outlines how these powers are to be
exercised so that the machinery to be used may be adjusted flexibly and
rapidly , in consultation with the Member States . Again with a view to
maximum efficiency and rapidity ,       the proposal gives the Commission
responsibility for reimposing in respect of Malta the duties applicable to
third countries .
 ---pagebreak--- 4 . From 1 January 1988 the nomenclature used will be replaced by the Combined
    Nomenclature   based  on  the  International  Convention on   the Harmonized
    Commodity Description and Coding System . This proposal must take account of
    that fact by indicating the Combined Nomenclature codes and ,          where
    appropriate , the TARIC code numbers of the prducts concerned .

Proposai for a Council Régulation

                                       NOTE
The tariff quota in question is still subject to adjustment consequent on the
accession of Spain and Portugal and the results of negotiations with Malta
with a view to concluding a Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement and a
Protocol to the said Agreement consequent on the accession of Spain and
Portugal .  In the meantime ,     the proposed Regulation is the appropriate
instrument to enable the Community to comply with its contractual obligations .
The Commission may , therefore , need to amend its proposal in the course of the
procedure .

                                    of
     establishing ceilings and Community surveillance for imports of certain
                       products originating in Malta ( 1988 )
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,   and
in particular Article 113 thereof .
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas the provisions of the Additional Protocol to the Agreemen^
establishing an association between the European Economic Community and Malta
have lapsed ;
Whereas the arrangements which the Community applies to trade with Malta
within the context of the association with that country should be extended for
1988 ;
Whereas the Council has adopted Regulation ( EEC ) No 2357 / 86 determining the
arrangements to be applied w^th regard to imports into Greece of certain
Products originating in Malta ; whereas , since a Protocol as provided for in
Articles 179 and 366 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal does not
exist , the Community must take the measures referred to in Articles 180 and
367 of that Act ; whereas this Régulation applies to the Community as
constituted on 31 December 1985 ;
Whereas the above-mentioned Additional Protocol provides for the total
abolition of customs duties in respect of the products to which the Agreement
applies ; whereas , however , exemption from duties in respect of a number of
products is subject to ceilings above which the customs duties applicable to
third countries may be reimposed ; whereas the ceilings to be applied in 1988
should therefore be determined ; whereas those ceilings can be applied only if
the Community is regularly informed of imports of the said products
originating in Malta ; whereas imports of those products should therefore be
subject to a system of surveillance ;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure
based on charging imports of the products in question against the ceilings at

   OJ No L 205 , 29.7.1986 , p. 9 .

Community Level s : arid when the products are entered with customs authorities
for free circulation ; wnereas this administrative procedure must provide for
the possibility of customs tariffs being reimposed as soon as the ceilings are
reached at Community level ;
Whereas     che nomenclature used will be r - laceJ from 1 January 1988 by the
Combined Nomenclature based on the International Convention on the Harmonized
Commodity Description and Coding System ;        whereas this Regulation must
therefore take account o ; that fact by indicating the Combined Nomenclature
codes and ,      where appropriate ,  the TAF.iC code numbers of the products
concerned ;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly rapid
cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must
in particular be able to follow the progress of quantities charged against the
ceilings and keep the Member States informed ; whereas this cooperation has to
be particularly close since the Commission must be able to take appropriate
measures to reimpose customs tariffs if one of the ceilings is reached .
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                                     Article 1
1 . From 1 January to 31 December 1988 imports into the Community as

    each month statements of the quantities charged during the preceding month .
