On 19 September 1980 the EEC-Turkey Association Council adopted
Decision No 1 / 80 on the development of the Association .
In order to give effect to the tariff measures required to implement
this Decision , the Council established / by Regulation ( EEC ) No 562 / 81 of
20 January 1981 ( 1 ), as last amended by Council Regulation ( EEC )
No 3825 / 81 ( 2 ), the rates of duty applicable for the period 1 January
1981 to 31 December 1982 to imports of certain agricultural products
originating in Turkey .

Decision No 1 / 80 of 19 September 1980 , on the basis of the import
duties applicable in the Community .
The Council by its Regulations ( EEC ) No 3797/ 81 of 29 December 1981 ( 3 )
and No 3808 / 81 of 21 December 1981 ( 4 ) respectively ,
  i . opened an erga omnes tariff quota of 3.000 tons with a duty of

ii . replaced the import levy on spelt for sowing by a customs duty
      of 20% .

The purpose of this proposal for a Regulation, is to take account of
the amendments and to establish the new customs' duties applicable
from 1 January 1982 to the products in question , which are either
included in , or need to be added to the Annex to Regulation ( EEC )
No 562 / 81 .                                '       M

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 EEC-Turkey Association Council , by its Decision No 1 / 80,
decided to abolish in stages the customs duties still applicable to
imports into the Community of agricultural products originating in
Turkey which may not yet be imported into the Community free of
customs duty ;
Whereas Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 562/ 81 ( 1 ), as last amended by
Regulation ( EEC ) No 3825 / 81 ( 2 ), established rates of duty applicable
for the period 1 January 1981 to 31 December 1982 ; whereas , in
accordance with Decision No 1 / 80 , the said rates were calculated on
the basis of the customs duties applicable in the Community ;
Whereas by Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3797/ 81
an erga omnes tariff quota       at   a duty of 10% was opened for the
period 1 January to 31 December 1982 for herring fillets prepared or
preserved in vinegar , presented in packings of a net capacity of 10
kilograms or more ; whereas by Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3808/ 81    ( 1 ),
( 1 ) OJ No L 65 , 11.3.1981 , p. 1
( 2 ) OJ No L 388 , 31.12.1981 , p. 3

the import Levy on spelt for use as seed was replaced by a customs duty
of 20% ; whereas by Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 357/ 82 ( 2 ) the autonomous
Common Customs Tariff duties on certain coalfish and fillets of coalfish
were suspended- e rga omnes at the rate of 9% for the period 1 March to
30 June 1982 ;
Whereas the duties applicable in the Community to those products have
therefore been amended and this should be taken into account for the
determination of the customs duties to be applied in the same period
to import of the said products originating in Turkey ;
Whereas it is accordingly necessary to amend the Annex to Regulation
( EEC ) No 562 / 81 ;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 119 of the 1979 Act of Accession /
the Community adopted Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3555 / 80 of 16
December 1980 determining the arrangements to be applied with regard
to imports into Greece originating in Algeria , Israel , Malta ,
Morocco , Portugal , Syria , Tunisia or Turkey ( 3 ); whereas that
Regulation stipulates that imports into Greece originating in Turkey
shall be subject to the tariff treatment applied to third countries
enjoying most - favoured-nation treatment ; whereas Greece therefore
continues to apply the said arrangements ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                                  Article 1
