                            EKPIANATORY MEMORANDUM
1 . Article 2 of the Additional Protocol to the EEC-Yugoslavia Cooperation
    Agreement establishing new trade arrangements provides for the opening
    of Community tariff quotas for imports into the Community of :
      (i ) 1 200 tonnes of sweet peppers falling within CN code 0709 60 10 ;
     (ii ) 1 300 tonnes of frozen peas falling within CN code 0710 21 00 ; and
    (iii ) 300 tonnes of garlic falling within CN code ex 0703 20 00 ,
    originating in Yugoslavia .
    Within the limits of these tariff quotas customs duties are to be phased
    out over the same periods and at the same rates as provided for in
    Articles 75 , 243 and 268 of the Act of Accession .
    However , Council Regulation (EEC) No 4150/87 laying down arrangements
    for Spain 's and Portugal 's trade with Yugoslavia provides that for sweet
    peppers and garlic those Member States are to postpone application of
    the preferential arrangements until 31 December 1989 (Spain) and 31
    December 1990 (Portugal). The tariff quotas for these products therefore
    apply only to the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 . The
    Community tariff quota for frozen peas , however , applies to the
    Community as at present constituted .
    These Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened for 1989 .

2 . Pursuant to the Council Decision concerning the Mediterranean policy of
    the enlarged Comraunity (Council document 10723/ 1 /85 of 6 December 1985),
    the quotas should not be allocated among the Member States . The whole of
    the quota volumes will therefore constitute Community reserves .
    The Commission proposes that the Member States administer the quotas by
    charging Imports "as and when" .
3 . That is the purpose of the attached proposal .

      opening and providing for the adininstration of Coiranunity tariff
        quotas for sweet peppers , frozen peas and garlic originating
                              in Yugoslavia ( 1989)
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 Article 2 of the Additional Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement
between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Federal Republic
of Yugoslavia establishing new trade arrangements1 provides for the
opening of Community tariff quotas for imports into the Community of :
- 1 200 tonnes of sweet peppers falling within CN code 0709 60 10 ;
- 1 300 tonnes of frozen peas falling within CN code 0710 21 00 ; and
- 300 tonnes of garlic falling within CN code ex 0703 20 00 ,
   originating in Yugoslavia ;
Whereas , within the limits of these tariff quotas , customs duties are to be
phased out over the same periods and at the same rates as provided for in
Articles 75 , 243 and 268 of the Act of Accession ; whereas the quota duties
for 1989 are equal to 63.6% of the basic duties for sweet peppers and
garlic and 50% of the basic duty for frozen peas ; whereas , however , Council
Regulation (EEC) No 4150/87 of 21 December 1987 laying down arrangements
for Spain 's and Portugal 's trade with Yugoslavia and amending Regulations
(EEC) No 449/86 and No 2573/872 provides that those Member States are to
postpone application of the preferential arrangements for products covered
by Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 , 3 as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No
1113/88 , 4 until 31 December 1989 and 31 December 1990 respectively ;
Whereas the tariff quotas for sweet peppers and garlic therefore apply only
to the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 ; whereas the tariff
quota for frozen peas applies to the Community as at present constituted ;
Whereas these Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened for 1989 ;

         Whereas all Community importers should be ensured equal and continuous
         access to the said quotas and the duty rates laid down for the quotas
         should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question
         into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted ; whereas , however ,
         the quotas should not in this instance be allocated among the Member
         States , which should , however , be able to draw against the quota such
         quantities as they may need , tinder the conditions and according to the
         procedure set out in Article lQ^; whereas this method of administration
         requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and
         the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the
         quotas are vised and inform the Member States accordingly ;
         Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium , the Kingdom of the Netherlands and
         the Grand. Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by
         the Benelux Economic Union , any operation concerning the administration of
         the quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any
         one of its members ,
         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                                             Article 1
         1 . The duties applicable to imports into the Community of the following
             products originating in Yugoslavia shall be suspended during the periods
             and at the levels indicated below and within the limits of Community
             tariff quotas as shown below :
