COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 849/87
of 23 March 1987
opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for unroasted malt falling within subheading 11.07 A II b) of the Common Customs Tariff originating in and coming from Finland
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 the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas an Agreement was concluded between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Finland on 22 July 1972; whereas, following the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community, an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Finland concerning agriculture was approved by Decision 86/556/EEC (1);
Whereas the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters makes provision for an annual tariff quota of 2 500 tonnes for unroasted malt, falling within subheading 11.07 A II b) of the Common Customs Tariff, originating in and coming from Finland, with a reduction in the levy of 100 ECU per tonne; whereas, in addition, it is desirable to carry forward to 1987, altogether by way of exception and because of the late entry into force of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2376/86 of 24 July 1986 opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for unroasted malt falling within subheading 11.07 A II b) of the Common Customs Tariff originating in and coming from Finland (2), the quantity of 1 700 tonnes of unroasted malt not taken up under the quota of 2 500 tonnes provided for Finland by the said Regulation; whereas the technical factors relating to the opening and administration of a quota for 1987 of a total quantity of 4 200 tonnes should be fixed by an implementing Regulation;
Whereas all Community importers should be ensured access to the quota and uninterrupted application of the reduced rate until the tariff quota has been used up;
Whereas this method of management requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission, which latter must, in particular, be able to monitor the rate at which the tariff quota is used up and inform the Member States thereof,
