Title: Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) establishing tariff ceilings and a Community statistical surveillance in the framework of reference quantities for a certain number of products originating in Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Tunisia, Syria, Malta, Morocco and the Occupied Territories

COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
                                                      COM(94) 588 final
                                                      Brussels, 12.12.1994
                                                      94/0292 (ACC)
                                        Proposal for a
                              COUNCIL REGULATION (EQ
  establishing tariff ceilings and a Community statistical surveillance in the framework
            of reference quantities for a certain number of products originating
                  in Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Tunisia, Syria, Malta,
                            Morocco and the Occupied Territories
                            (presented by the Commission)
 ---pagebreak---  ---pagebreak---                                EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 1.  The additional protocols to the agreements between the European Community, of the one
     part, and Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Tunisia, Syria, Malta and Morocco, of the other,
     provide for the establishment of reference quantities for certain agricultural products
     originating in those countries.
2.   The 1970 Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and
     Malta, supplemented by the Additional Protocol, the Supplementary Protocol and the
     Protocol extending the first stage of the Agreement, exempts from duties, subject to annual
     tariff ceilings, a certain number of textile products originating in that country.
3.   Council Regulation (EEC) No 1134/91 on the tariff arrangements applicable to imports into
     the Community of products originating in the Occupied Territories provides for customs
     duties on some of these products to be suspended within the framework of reference
     quantities.
4.  The products to be subjected to the ceilings and reference quantities, the limits of these
     measures and the rates of the preferential duties are laid down in the above agreements and
    Regulation (EEC) No 1134/91. Under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1764/92 or the
    agreements themselves, there will be annual increases until 31 December 1995.
5.  Though multiannual, these tariff measures are implemented by Council regulations which
    are valid for only one year.
    The renewal of these regulations involves no change to their substance. The adoption
    procedures, however, take up a considerable amount of time.
    The Commission therefore takes the view that the provisions concerning the tariff measures
    in question should be grouped together in a single regulation, which, with the exception of
    the annexes thereto, would be of indeterminate duration. The annexes would be adapted at
    regular intervals in the light of changes to the Combined Nomenclature or decisions by the
    Council.
    A similar solution was adopted by the Council in the matter of Mediterranean tariff quotas.
    Provisions for the implementation and management of those quotas were adopted for an
    indeterminate period by means of Council Regulation (EC) No 1981/94 of 25 July 1994 (OJ
    No L 199, 2.8.1994, p. 1).
6.  The attached draft Regulation groups together tariff measures, other than quotas, affecting
    the Mediterranean countries.
    It also excludes tariff measures, the annual opening and/or increase of which are linked to
    the system of generalized preferences.
                                                  A
 ---pagebreak---     The period of validity of the measures covered by the Annexes to this draft Regulation lies
   between 1 November 1994 and 31 December 1996. As with the tariff quotas mentioned
    above, the latter date was chosen by analogy with the above-mentioned tariff quotas.
   Furthermore, the accession of new countries to the Community will also result in
   amendments to the Annexes to this draft Regulation.
   The timetables for the opening of the reference quantities remain as laid down in the
   agreements.
7. The Commission believes that it should be mandated, as under the aforementioned
   Regulation (EC) 1981/94, to make the necessary technical adaptations to the Regulation
   and the measures contained therein. This mandate will cover any amendments that may be
   required under the existing agreements following:
            amendments to the Combined Nomenclature and Taric codes,
            decisions of the Council,
            extension of existing tariff measures.
   The Commission considers that the opinion of the Customs Code Committee should be
   sought before such adaptations are adopted. The Committee will deliver its opinion
   according to the procedure laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the
   tariff and statistical nomenclature and the Common Customs Tariff.
8. To conclude, this proposal is a logical follow-up to Regulation (EC) No 1981/94. It
   contains the same innovative aspects as that Regulation, namely:
            its multiannual character,
            the grouping together of the countries and products concerned,
            the delegation of powers to the Commission,
            the opinion of the Customs Code Committee.
9. The purpose of this proposal has been set out above. The Council is being asked to
   approve this proposal and, at the same time, open the tariff measures set out in the Annexes
   thereto.

 ---pagebreak--- THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113
thereof,
Having regard to the proposalfromthe Commission,
Whereas Article 2 of Annex I to the Agreement establishing an association between the European
Community and Malta1, as supplemented by the Additional Protocol2, by the Supplementary
Protocol to the Agreement3 and the Protocol extending thefirststage of this Agreement4, exempts
from duties, subject to tariff ceilings, certain products falling within Chapters 52 to 63 of the
Combined Nomenclature and originating in Malta;
Whereas the Additional Protocols to the Agreements between the European Community, of the one
part, and Cyprus5, Egypt6, Jordan7, Israel8, Tunisia9, Syria10, Malta and Morocco11, of the other,
provide for the progressive reduction, subject to reference quantities and to statistical Community
surveillance, of the customs duties applicable to certain agricultural products originating in those
countries according to set timetables;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1134/91 concerning the tariff regime applicable to imports
in the Community of products originating in the Occupied Territoties12 provides for the elimination
on 1 January 1993, according to a set timetable, of customs duties on products listed in Annex II
thereto and originating in these territories, and that certain of these products should be subject to
reference quantities;
Whereas, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1764/92 of 29 June 1992 amending the arrangements
for the import into the Community of certain agricultural products originating in Algeria, Cyprus,
Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Malta, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia13, the Community unilaterally increased
the amount of the above reference quantities in equal tranches of 3% or 5% per year starting on
 1 January 1992;
Whereas the agreements concerned and Regulation (EEC) No 1134/91 are of indeterminate
duration; whereas the agreements and the abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1764/92 lay down
the rates for the annual increases in the tariff ceilings and reference quantities; whereas, therefore,
the tariff measures in question should likewise be of indeterminate duration; whereas, however, in
view of the negotiations under way for the imminent renewal of some of the agreements in
question, the application of these measures should be rationalized by grouping them together in a
single regulation;

 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the tariff measures provided for in this Regulation should be opened; whereas the scope
and period of validity of each of these measures of which the duration of validity is limited to 31
December 1996 are set out in the Annexes;
Whereas amendments to the Combined Nomenclature and Taric codes, and the extension under the
present agreements of the tariff measures in question, require no changes of substance; whereas, in
the interests of simplicity and without prejudice to the specific procedures laid down by the Council
Regulation (EC) No 3448/93, of 6 December 1993, determining the trade regime applicable to
certain goods resulting from the transformation of agricultural products14, provision should be
made for the Commission to make the necessary amendments and technical adaptations to this
Regulation after first having obtained the opinion of the Customs Code Committee;
Whereas the decision to establish tariff ceilings and reference quantities should be taken by the
Community; whereas it is also for the Community to establish the relevant surveillance systems for
these two tariff measures;
Whereas customs duties suspended within the limits of tariff ceilings may be re-established once
those limits have been reached at Community level; whereas the application of ceilings calls for a
system of surveillance that enables the Commission to be kept abreast of the trend in imports of
products subject to such measures;
Whereas the administration of the tariff ceilings 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 all the more close because the Commission has to be able to
take appropriate action whenever a ceiling is reached; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of this
surveillance system, Member States must charge imports of the products in question against the
ceilings as and when the products are entered with customs for free circulation;
Whereas, as regards the products subject to reference quantities, Article 3(2) of Council Regulation
(EEC) No 451/89 of 20 February 198915 establishes procedures for modifying of the status of these
products by submitting them, if neccesary , to tariff quotas; whereas Article 3 (2) of the regulation
provides for a system of surveillance; whereas such surveillance must notably enable the
Commission to draw up an annual trade balance sheet for each of the products concerned,

        Goods may be charged against the ceiling only if the movement certificate is presented
        before the date on which customs duties are re-established.

        of the imports charged against it in the manner laid down in the preceding subparagraphs.

        at the intervals and within the time limits specified in paragraph 4.

        until the end of the calendar year, the customs duties applicable to third countries.

        defining the concept of originating products annexed to each of the agreements between the
        European Community and the countries referred to in thefirstsubparagraph of paragraph 1,
        with the exception of the Occupied Territories. The concept of products originating in the
