COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 1199/88
of 28 April 1988
establishing Community supervision for the imports of certain agricultural products originating in the Canary Islands (1988)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87 of 18 May 1987 concerning certain adjustments to the arrangements applied to the Canary Islands (1), and in particular Articles 4, 6 and 10 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87, the Council decided, for certain agricultural products originating in the Canary Islands, upon a progressive reduction of the customs duties applicable in the limits of reference quantities with the possibility for the Community to replace in future the facilities by a system of tariff quotas if it should appear that under the preferential system imported quantities exceed, during the course of a determined year, the reference quantities laid down, and if simultaneously these imports cause damage on the Community market; whereas the application of such a system demands that the Community is regularly informed of the development of these imports originating in the Canary Islands; whereas it is therefore indicated to submit the imports of these products to a system of supervision;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on setting off imports of the products in question against the reference quantities at Community level, as and when these products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly rapid cooperation between the Member States and the Commission; whereas the latter must, in particular, be able to follow the progress of amounts set off against the reference quantities and keep the Member States informed,
