1. Council Decision No 91/668/EEC, concerning the conclusion of the Agreement
   between the Euopean Economic Community, the Government of Denmark and the
   Home Government of the Faeroe Islands provides for the abolition on
   1 January 1992 of customs duties on imports into the Community of certain
   fish and fishery products listed in Annexes I, II and III.
2. For the products originating in the Faeroes, abolition of customs duties
   will take place as indicated in the appropriate annexes to this proposal,
   viz:
   -   Annex I: the abolition applies within the limits of the Community tariff
      quotas therein;
   -  Annex II: the abolition applies within the Community tariff ceilings
      therein;
   -  Annex III: the abolition applies subject to Community statistical
      surveiI lance.
3. The preferential rates of duty specified in Annexes I, M and III only
   apply if the free-at-frontier price determined by the Member States in
   accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 as last amended
   by Regulation (EEC) No 3468/88 is at least equal to the reference price set
   or to be set by the Community for the products or categories of products
   concerned.
4. As for the administration of the tariff quotas, it is proposed to allocate
   the entirety of each quota to the creation of Community reserve from which
   all Member States will draw in accordance with the procedure laid down in
   Article 3 of the proposed Regulation.
5. As to the administration of the tariff ceilings, it is proposed to
   determined up a system of surveillance for imports of products listed in
   Annex II and to empower the Commission to restore the customs duties in
   certain circumstances. This involves the adoption of common specific rules
   to be applied by all Member States consistently in a context of close
   cooperation between the competent departments of the Member States and the
   Commission.
                                                                                I
 ---pagebreak--- 6.  As in the case of other Community tariff quota, the proposal do not provide
    for the quota volumes to be allocated among the Member States, which will
    make drawings from the quota volumes to cover actual imports.
7.  The statistical surveillance envisaged for certain products does not
    require the adoption of common rules other than those currently applied
    uniformly by all the Member States in the field of Community's external
    trade stat ist ics.
This is the purpose of the attached proposal.
                                                                                2»
