                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1 . As part of the overall examination agreed on at Council level in
    December 1986 concerning the opening of autonomous tariff quotas for
    fishery products , the Commission has drawn up a report for examination
    by the Counci l .
    In this report the Commission is proposing , in the light of the
    requirements of the Community 's internal and external policies , a
    number of tariff measures and in particular tariff quotas at a reduced
    or zero rate of duty , to ensure that Community production and the
    supply of the user industries , on favourable terms , develop in
    parallel .
    In this context , and in order to comply with the policy laid down of
    developing trade with a view to a better balance of fishing :
    activities , the Commission proposes that part of the tariff quotas
    made available be used to increase certain quotas opened for products
    originating in Norway or Sweden , though without affecting traditional
    trade flows .
2 . The tariff quotas to be opened for the period up to 31 December 1987
    for the products specified in Article 1 of the attached draft
    regulations and proposal for a regulation are for products which meet
    the conditions laid down as regards the reference prices fixed , or to
    be fixed , and which are intended for processing .
    The first draft regulation concerns the quotas to be opened for
    products in respect of which the requirements of each of the Member
    States concerned can be determined with at least some degree of
    accuracy . After a Community reserve of these products has been
    established , the tariff quotas will be allocated among those Member
    States , in proportion to their requirements . Member States which do
    not participate in the initial allocation may, as usual , meet any
    requirements which may arise by drawing the appropriate amounts from
    the reserves .
 ---pagebreak---                                               3
     The second draft regulation concerns the quotas to be opened for other
     products . In this case , there is no allocation among the Member
     States , since requirements are met by drawings by the Member States
     concerned , in accordance with the relevant procedure .
3 . The purpose of the proposal for a regulation is to amend Regulations
     ( EEC ) Mos 4043 / 86 of 22 December 1986 (1 ), 4022 / 86 of
     16 December 1986 (2 ) and 3513 /86 of 17 November 1986 (3 ) opening ,
     allocating and providing for the administration of tariff quotas for
     products originating in Norway or Sweden , in order to increase the
     volume of those quotas by means of the quantities allocated as part of
     the proposed overall tariff quotas . Because of the small quantities
     involved in the increases concerned , the Commission proposed that they
     should not be allocated among the Member States but that the Community
     reserves be increased correspondingly .

     described above are attached .

                     opening, allocating and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for

   THE COUNCII. OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
   Economic Community, and in particular Article 28
   thereof,
   Having regard to the draft Regulation presentedby the
   Commission ,
   Whereas Community supplies of deep-frozen fillets and
   minced blocks of Alaska pollack ( Tberagra cha/cogramma)
     ard hake (Merluccius spp ., except for the species Merluccius Merluccius,Herluccius
     bi linearis and Merluccius carpensis )
        currently depend on imports from third countries ;
        whereas it is in the Community’s interest to suspend
        partially the Common Customs Tariff duty for the
        productsin question , within       Community tariff quotas
        of an appropriate volume ; whereas, in order not to
      jeopardize          the development prospects of this
        production in the Community and to ensure an
        adequate supply to satisfy user industries , it is advisable to
    open these quotas         for the period until 31 December
       1937 , at a duty rate of8 % and to fix the volume thereof
        at 15 000 and 20 000 tonnes respectively;
        Wheras , in particular, equal and continuous access to the
      quotas should be ensured for all Community importers
        and the rate of duty for the tariff quotas should be
        applied consistently to all imports until the quot£ are
        exhausted ; whereas , in the light of these principles,
        arrangements for the utilization of the tariff quotasbased
        on an allocation among Member States would seem to
        be consistent with the Community nature of the quotas?;
        whereas, to correspond as closely as possible to the
        actual trend in the market in the productsin question,
        allocation of the quotasshould be in proportion to the
        requirements of the Member States as calculated by
        reference to statistics of imports from third countries
        during a representative reference period and to the
        economic outlook for the quota period in question ;
         Whereas in the case in point there are no statistical data
         broken down by quality of products in question ; whereas
         the quotas are tXvctP no HUMS Community tariff quotas
         intended    to   cover import      needs   arising   in  the
CpBiumty, and SO the quota volumeSmay be allocated on the
         basis of the temporaiy requi rements as regards imports from third countries
         expressed by each of the Member States ; whereas these
         arrangements for allocation will also ensure the
         uniform application of the Cornmon Customs Tariff;
 ---pagebreak---                                                           т
           Whereas, to take account of possible import trends for
           the products concerned , the quota volumes should be
           divided into two instalments, the first being allocated
             among certain Member States and the second held as a
           reserve to meet subsequent requirements of Member
           States which have used up their initial shares and any
           additional requirements which might arise in the other
            Member States ; whereas , to give importers of the
            Member States some degree of certainty, the first
            instalment of the Community tariff quotas should be set at a
            relatively high level, which in this case could be 80 % of the
           quota volumes;
            Whereas initial shares may be used up at different rates ;
            whereas, to avoid disruption of supplies on this account,
            it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used
           UD one of         its initial shareSshould draw an additional share from
   the corresponding reserve; whereas, each time its additional
            share is almost used up, a Member State should draw a
            further share, and so on as many times at the reserve
            allows ; whereas the initial and additional shares must be valid
            until the end of the quota period ; whereas this form of
            administration requires close collaboration between the
            Member States and the Commission, and the latter must
            be in a position to keep account of the extent to which
            the quotas have been used up and to inform the Member
             States accordingly ;
             Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom
             of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxem¬
             bourg are united within and jointly represented by the
             Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the
             administration of the shares allocated to that economic
             union may be carried out by any one of its members,
             HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                                         Article 1

             force until 31 December 1987 the Common Customs Tariff
              duties for the products listed below shall be suspended at the levels

   in fillets, cod and fillets of cod, salted or dried, squid of the Illex spp . and
   Todarodes sagittatus species, shrimps and prawns of the Pandalus borealis species,
   certain molluscs and fillets of pike currently depend, to a significant degree,
   on imports from third countries; whereas it is in the Cornmurity 's interest to
   suspend partially or totally the Common Customs Tariff duty for the products
   in question, within additional Community tariff quotas of an approriate volume;
   whereas, in order not to jeopardize the fishery development prospects in respect
   of these products in the Comminity and to ensure an adequate supply to satisfy
   user industries, it is advisable to open these quotas for the period until
   31 December 1987;
    Whereas it is necessary , in particular, to ensure for all _ ._
    Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to / /the Said quotas and to ensure the
    the rates laid down for the quotasto all imports of the       uninterrupted application of
    products concerned into all Member States until the
quotas have been used up ; whereas, however, since the
  CJJOtas are to cover requirements which cannot be
    determined with sufficient accuracy, they should not be
    allocated among the Member States, without prejudice
    to the drawing against the quota volumes of such
    quantities as they may need, under the conditions and
    according to a procedure to be determined ; whereas this
    method of management 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 / used up and inform the Member             / are
    States accordingly;
    Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium , the Kingdom
    of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxem ¬
