  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COlâlUNITIES,

  on common rules for imports*^, M9 last amended by Regulation
  <EEC) No 2727/90<*>, and in particular Article 2,
  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
  Whereas the common commercial policy Is based on uniform principles;
  whereas the common rules for imports established by Regulation (EEC)
  No 288/82,1 as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2727/90. 2
  constitute an important part of this policy; whereas the libera Illation
  of imports, namely the absence of all quantitative restrictions;,
  subject to exceptions and derogations provided for in Community law, Is
  the point of departure for such common rules;
  Whereas quantitative restrictions on imports In the different Member
  States are set out In a list contained In Annex I to Regulation (EEC)
  No 288/82; 3
