COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 3655/84
of 19 December 1984
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 on the common organization of the market in fishery products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas, under Article 20 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (3), customs duties on imports of dried and salted cod are suspended in their entirety;
Whereas, moreover, the Community has granted, in the framework of international commitments and fishery agreements, tariff concessions for salted cod in particular;
Whereas however the prospects of development of Community production should in the short term substantially change the supply conditions of the Community market;
Whereas it now therefore seems no longer justified, in order to avoid disturbance of market equilibrium, to maintain the total, permanent and quantitatively unlimited suspension of Common Customs Tariff duties on the products in question;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 should therefore be amended,
