                                                              Cou .  , i'ty
1. Under an agreement concluded between the USA and the Community , the
   latter has to put into effect the following measures on imports fran
   third countries during the period 1987 to 1990 :
   -  the opening of an annual Coirmunity tariff quota of 12 000 tonnes
      at 10 % for dried , dehydrated or evaporated onions falling within
      subheading 07.04 A of the Cannon Customs Tariff ;
   - the volume increase by 50 000 m3 of the tariff quota opened by
      Regulation ( EEC ) No 3741 /86 for certain plywoods of coniferous
      species , falling within heading      ex 44.15 of the Cannon Customs
      Tariff .
2. These tariff measures could be put into effect on 15 March 1987 .
   Since the agreement does not contain a "prorata tanporis " clause as
   such , the annual quota volumes should be opened for a period
   stretching from 15 March to 31 December 1987 .
   It is understood that if it appeared that the date of implementation
   differs fran the one accepted initially, these proposals would have
   to be amended . Hence the Commission reserves the right to adjust
   its proposals according to the way this element evolves .
3. In order these two tariff measures retain their Community character ,
   the Commission proposes not to allocate the quota volumes among the
   Member States but to allow than to draw quantities corresponding to
   their iirmediate needs against either the quota volume or the reserve
   as the case may be .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Carmunity, and in particular
 Article 113 thereof,
 Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
 Whereas under an agreement concluded with the United States of America and
 adopted by the Council 's Decision of . . . ( 1 ), the Community has
 undertaken , for the period 1987 to 1990 , to open an annual Community tariff
quota of 12 000 tonnes at a duty rate of 10 % for dried dehydrated or
evaporated onions , falling within subheading 07.04 A of the Common Customs
 Tariff ; whereas , therefore , this tariff quota should be opened for
 1987 ;
   Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure to all
   Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to
   the said quota and the application, without interruption,
   of the rate laid down for that quota to all imports of the
   products concerned into all Member States until the quota
has been used up ; whereas , in order to safeguard the Community character of
the tariff quota in question it seems advisable not to allocate the latter
among the Member States but to allow them to draw against the quota
volume such quantities as they may need under the conditions and
according to a procedure to be specified ;
                 whereas    this  method of management
 requires close cooperation between the Member States
 and the Commission and the latter must in particular be
 able to monitor the rate at which the quota is used up
 and inform the Member States thereof ;
 Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of
 the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
 are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux
  Economic Union, all transactions concerning the admi¬
  nistration of shares allocated to that economic union may
  be carried out by any one of its members,
  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                            Article 1
   1     From 15 fiarch to 31 December 1987, the Common
   Customs Tariff duty on the following products shall be
   suspended at the level and within the limit of a Commu¬
   nity tariff quota as shown herewith :

         Within the limit of this tariff quota the Kingdom of
         Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs
         duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provi¬
         sions laid down by the Act of Accession.
          2. If an importer notices an imminent importation of
          the product in question in a Member State and requests
          the benefit of the quota, the Member State concerned
        shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corres¬
        ponding to its requirements to the extent that the avai¬
        lable balance of the reserve so permits.
        3.     The shares drawn pursuant to paragraph 2 shall be
        valid until the end of the quota period.
                                 Article 2
        1.     Member States shall take all appropriate measures to
        ensure that their drawings pursuant to Article 1 (2) are
        carried out in such a way that imports may be charged
        without interruption against their accumulated shares of
        the Community quota.
                                                                                             Article 3
2.    Each Member State shall ensure that importers of
the said goods have access to the quota for such time as          At the request of the Commission, Member States shall

                                                                                             Article 4
