SUBJ XT ; Proposal for a Council Regulation on -the import into the Community of certain -
          agricultural products originating , in Turkey
On 20 January 1£: 81 the Council adopted Regulation (J. -C ) No 5^2/81 on the reduction of
customs duties on imports into the Community of certain agricultural products originating
in Turkey .                 -
                                                                     I
Article 1(2 ) of that Regulation stipulates that , in the case of products for which ,
Community rules require an import price to be observed , application of the preferential
tariff is subject to observance of the price in question ; however , in the case of fruit
and vegetables for which there is a reference price but whose, free–at–frontier price is
generally not known at the time of import , the Regulation does not define by what
authority and in what conditions the preferential tariff would be temporarily suspended.
At present the Com. ission , under Council Regulation (Ji-JC ) No 1035/72 of 18 Kay 1^72
                                                             / ,
on the com;.-, on organization of the market in fruit and- vegetables , must monitor the
prices of imported products and introduce a countervailing charge in addition to the
customs duty if , for a given product from a given exporting country , the entry price is
less tlv^n the reference price .
This proposal empowers the Commission to decide to suspend the prefential tariff at the
same time as it introduces a countervailing charge , since the introduction of such a charge
is the oonsequence of non-observance of the reference price .
