THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (1), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 7  thereof,
Whereas Protocol 3 to the Interim Agreement between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and Bulgaria of the other part (2), on trade and related matters provides for reductions in the variable  components for certain goods referred to in Annex I to the said Protocol within the limit of quotas fixed in the Annex II to the same Protocol;
Whereas the decision for the opening of Community quotas should be taken by the Community, in the execution of its international obligations, in the case of the goods listed in the Annex to this Regulation; whereas particular care should be taken to  ensure that all Community importers have equal and continuous access to those quotas and that the charges laid down for the quotas are applied to all imports of the goods in question into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted; whereas, to  ensure the efficient common administration of these quotas, there are no obstacles to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas, however, this method of administration  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 quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
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, any operation concerning the administration of these tariff measures may  be carried out by any one of its members;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee on Horizontal Questions Concerning Trade in Processed Agricultural Products not listed in Annex II,
