  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
  Community,
  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982
  on common rules for imports^1*, as last amended by Regulation
  (EEC) No 3859/91<2), 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 constitute an important part of this policy; whereas the
  I iberalization 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;
(1)   O.J. nr L 35 of 09.02.1982, p. 1

 shouId be su i tabIy amended,
