In Regulation ( EJDC ) No . 1391 /87 , Articles 4 and 6 , the Council has
decided for the following agricultural products , originating in the
Canary Islands a progressive reduction of the custans duties applicaole
in the limits of reference quantities with the possibility for the
Cctrmunity to replace in future the facilities by a system, of tariff
quotas if it should appear that under toe preferential system imported
quantities exceed , during the course of e determined year , the reference
quantities laid down , and if simultaneously these imports cause damage
an the Conmunity market :
       2 100 tonnes avocados , falling within CN codes 0804 40 10 and
             0804 40 90 ( 1.1 - 31.12 )
                         _ e a c ry
         100 tonnes melona-'weigliing 600 grams or less , falling under CN
             code ex 0807 10 90 ( 1.1 - 31.3 ) and
         100 tonnes kiwis , falling under CN code 0810 90 10 ( 1.1 - 30.4 ) ,
 Tne implementation of the system of "reference quantities " and the
 ooligation foreseen to ensure that the imports benefit under the
 preferential system require the adoption of precise Cannon rules to be
 applied uniformly by all the Mariber States . These requirements may be
 setting up a Ccumunity system of surveillance of inports originating in
 Canary Islands . To that end the Member States must take appropriate
 measures to permit the rapid collection of statistical returns for the
 wnole Community . In the connection imports of the products in question

These amounts will be established by each Member State according to the
following time-scale :
- by 1st July 1988 , the amounts set off for products mentioned under
    order nos 17.0003 and 17.0005 ,
-   by 15th October 1988, the cumulative amounts set off for the period
    from 1 January up to 30 September , and by the 15th day of each
    following month those set off during the preceding month , for the
    product mentioned under order No 17.0001 .
The surveillance system will require quick action and close cooperation
between the relevant departments of the Member States and the
Conmissicn . Since the products in question belong to the sensitive
products category and imports at reduced duties may disturb the
Community market , it is absolutely essential that all the Member States
observe strictly the abovementioned time limits .
This is the purpose of the attached proposal .
