                                Proposal for a
                           COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
                 opening and providing for the administration
                    of Community tariff quotas and ceilings

 ---pagebreak---                               EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 1. Council Decision No            /91, 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 as
    constituted on 31 December 1985 of certain fish and fishery products listed
     in Annexes I, II and III.
2.  As part of these tariff measures, Spain and Portugal will apply customs
    duties calculated in accordance with Article 173(1) and (2) and
    Article 360(1)(b) and (2) respectively of the Act of Accession.
3.  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.
4.  The preferential rates of duty specified in Annexes I, II and M i 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.
5.  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.
6.  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.
 ---pagebreak--- 7.  The statistical surveiI lance 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 statistics.
This is the purpose of the attached proposal.

            opening and providing for the administration of Community
              tariff quotas and ceilings and establishing Community
                surveillance for certain fish and fishery products
                         originating in the Faeroe Islands

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and
 in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision           /91 concerning the conclusion of the
Agreement between the European Economic Community, the Government of Denmark
and the Home Government of Faeroe Islands 1 ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Articles 3 and 8 of the Decision referred to above provide that customs
duties applicable to imports into the Community of Ten of certain fish and
fishery products listed in Protocol 1 attached to the said Decision will be
abolished on 1 January 1992; whereas the abolition is subject to Community
tariff quotas and ceilings and, for some of these products, Community
statistical surveillance; whereas the said Community tariff quotas and ceilings
in respect of products originating in the Faeroe Islands should therefore be
opened from 1 January 1992 for the volumes indicated respectively in Annexes I
and II and Community statistical surveillance should be established in respect
of the products listed in Annex III;
Whereas in the context of these tariff measures Spain and Portugal will apply
customs duties calculated in accordance with Article 173(1) and (2) and
Article 360(1)(b) and (2) respectively of the Act of Accession;
Whereas the preferential rates of duty indicated in Annexes I, II and III apply
only where the free-at-frontier price determined by the Member States in
accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 2 , as last amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 3468/88 3 is at least equal to the reference price set or
to be set by the Community for the products or categories of products
concerned;

 ---pagebreak--- Whereas equal and continuous access to the quotas in respect of the products
 listed in Annex I should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates
of duty laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all imports
of the products in question in all Member States until the quotas are
exhausted; whereas the necessary steps should be taken to ensure that the
tariff quotas are administered efficiently at Community level, enabling the
Member States to draw from the quotas the quantities required, corresponding to
the actual imports recorded; whereas this method of administering the quotas
calls for close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission;
Whereas the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand
Duchy of Luxembourg are Joined in and represented by the Benelux economic
union; whereas any operation concerning the administration of the quotas may
therefore be carried out by one of its members-,
Whereas in respect of products listed in Annex II and subject to Community
tariff ceilings, Community surveillance may be effected by charging imports of
these products against the ceilings at Community level as and when the products
are presented at customs and declared for free circulation; whereas this method
of administering the ceilings should enable customs duties to be restored as
soon as the ceilings in question are reached at Community level;
Whereas this method of administering the ceilings calls for close and speedy
cooperation between the Member States and the Commission, which must be able to
monitor the level reached by imports charged against the ceilings and inform
the Member States accordingly; whereas this cooperation should be close enough
to allow the Commission to take the appropriate steps to restore customs duties
as soon as ona of the ceilings is reached;
Whereas for the products listed in Annex I l i a system of statistical
surveillance administered by the Commission pursuant to the relevant provisions
of Council Regulations (EEC) No 2658/87 1 and (EEC) No 1736/75 2 should be
established,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION
                                    Art icle 1
     From 1 January to 31 December 1992 the customs duty applicable to imports

     level indicated and within the limits of Community tariff quotas as
     specified in the said Annex.

2    0J NO L 183; 14.7.1975, p. 3
 ---pagebreak--- 2.  Within the limits of the tariff quotas, Spain and Portugal shall apply
    customs duty calculated in accordance with Articles 173(1) and (2) and
     360(1)(b) and (2) respectively of the Act of accession.

                                    Art icle 3
Where an importer enters a product covered by this Regulation for free
circulation in a Member State accompanied by a request for prefential treatment
and his declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State
concerned shall, by notifying the Commission accordingly, draw a quantity from

Drawings shall be granted by the Commission on the basis of the date when the
declarations for free circulation were accepted by the customs authorities of
the Member State concerned, provided the available balance is sufficient.

    and (2) and 360(1)(b) and (2) respectively of the Act of accession.
