1. Council Regulation (EEC) No .../9-f, amending Regulation (EEC)
No 3275/90 opening and providing for the allocation of Community tariff
quotas hound in GAIT for certain agricultural and industrial products,
opened a 12 000-tonne Camraunity tariff quota at 10% for dried onions
falling within CN code 0712 20 00.
2. Until that erga omnes quota is exhausted, the Ten will hold duties on
imports of this product from Spain and Portugal to 2.9%. If and when the
quota is fully taken up, the duty rises to 4%.
3. The EEC-Egypt Cooperation Agreement provides for the phasing out of
duties on certain products originating in ^gypt at the same rate and over
the same period as specified in the Act of Accession in respect of imports
from Spain and Portugal into the Community of Ten. Hiis means dried           l'-..v
onions originating in 3gypt should be subject to the 2.9% rate until the
quota is exhausted, and therefore Regulation (EEC) No 3729/90, which opened
the quota at a rate of 4%, must be amended. Once the quota has been fully
utilized, the quota rate on dried onions from 3gypt would rise to 4%.
4. Attached is a proposal for a Regulation making the necessary change as
from 1 January 1991, in accordance with Council Regulation (EBC) No .. ./&f.
