                                  Proposal for a
                         COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)
 amending Regulation (EC)       /96 opening and providing for the administration of
 autonomous Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products,
and amending Regulation (EC) 3059/95 opening and providing for the administration
of autonomous Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products

 ---pagebreak---  ---pagebreak---                     EXPLANATORY MEMOR/ J
1. Subsequent to requests made by various Member States, the Services of the
   Commission have examined, in conjunction with the Government experts
   concerned, the question of increasing and opening tariff quotas for certain
   industrial andfisheryproducts.
2. Following this examination, which took place during the "Economic Tariff
   Questions" group meetings, it has been determined that a solution, according
   to which tariff quotas would be opened for the products covered by this
   proposal could have the agreement of the Member States without disturbing
   the markets for such products,
3  Having regard to the requirements of the internal and external policies of the
   Community, the Commission is proposing the increase of tariff quota (cod), to
   ensure continuation of Community production in accordance with the rules and
   obligations of the common organisation of the markets, and to ensure supply of
   the processing industries while also taking into account the current and
   foreseeable situation on the international market.
    This is the purpose of the attached proposal.

                                                    of
           amending Regulation (EC)       /96 opening and providing for the administration of
  autonomous Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products, and amending
               Regulation (EC) 3059/95 opening and providing for the administration of
           autonomous Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products
             and Regulation (EC) n° 789/96 opening and providing for the administration of
                autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products (1996)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28
thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas production in the Community of certain agricultural and industrial products will be
insufficient to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas,
consequently, Community supplies of products of this type will depend to a considerable extent on
imports from third countries; whereas the most urgent Community requirements for the products in
question should be met immediately on the most favourable terms; whereas Community tariff quotas
at reduced or zero duty should therefore be opened within the limits of appropriate volumes taking
account of the need not to disturb the markets for such products nor the starting out or development of
Community production;
Whereas by Regulation (EC)n°789/96* the Council opened, for 1996 Community tariff quotas for
certain fishery products; whereas the volume of the quota for cod (Order Nr. 09.2753) should be
increased;
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                                 Article 1
 1     In the Regulation (EC) n° 789/96, the table shown in the Annex is replaced, for the order n°

 2     Order numbers and corresponding textes in Annex II of this regulation are added to the table in
       Regulation (EC) n°     /96, Annex I
                                                 Article 2
 This Regulation shall enter into force on the 7th day following its publication in the Official Journal
 of the European Communities.
