COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3012/95 of 20 December  1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1605/92 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs  Tariff duties on imports of certain industrial products into the Canary Islands
THE  COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28  thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 6  (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 of 26 June 1991 on the application of  the provisions of Community law to the Canary Islands  (1) provides for the gradual introduction of  the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) over a transitional period not extending beyond 31 December 2000;  whereas, in accordance with Article 7 of the same Regulation the common commercial policy will  apply to the Canary Islands, without prejudice to the specific measures referred to in Article 6   (3) thereof;
Whereas paragraph 7.2 of the Annex to Council Decision 91/314/EEC of 26 June 1991 setting up a  programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of the Canary Islands (Poseican)   (2) states that specific tariff measures must continue to be considered; whereas in principle they  must be limited to the transitional period provided for under Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No  1911/91 for the gradual adoption of the Common Customs Tariff to the Canary Islands;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1605/92 of 15 June 1992 temporarily suspending the autonomous  Common Customs Tariff duties on imports of certain industrial products into the Canary Islands  (3)  totally suspended until 31 December 1995 CCT duties applicable to imports into the Canary Islands  of the products listed in the Annex to the Regulation which are intended for the Canary Islands'  domestic market;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1605/92, the Commission has during  1995 examined the effect of measures adopted in favour of the economy of the Canary Islands;  whereas on that basis it intends to submit to the Council a proposal for a series of measures for  the period after 31 December 1995;
Whereas because of that circumstance the Council is not in a position to act on the said proposal  before the expiry of Regulation (EEC) No 1605/92; whereas that Regulation should therefore be  extended to 31 March 1996,
