COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3653/85
of 23 December 1985
laying down detailed rules for implementing the import system applicable to certain third countries for sheepmeat and goatmeat as from 1986
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85 of 19 December 1985 concerning the import system applicable to certain third countries in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector as from 1986 (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85 laid down that the levy applicable on imports of products falling within subheadings 01.04 B and 02.01 A IV of the Common Customs Tariff from third countries, other than those which have concluded voluntary restraint agreements with the Community, is to be limited to 10 % ad valorem within certain maximum quantities; whereas it is appropriate to set for each quarter the quantities which may be imported during a period corresponding to the period of validity of the import licences;
Whereas the same system continues to apply until 28 February 1986 as regards Spain;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85 laid down that imports into the Member States should be allowed, taking account of the traditional pattern of trade; whereas it is therefore appropriate to set the maximum quantity for which import licences may be issued in certain Member States;
Whereas the said imports should be restricted to the quantities provided for; whereas it is accordingly necessary to derogate from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 of 3 December 1980 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1994/84 (3), in respect of the quantities which may be imported in excess of those indicated on licences;
Whereas the Member States should be required to provide information with regard to the said imports;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
