COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1726/93 of 29 June 1993 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for frozen hake fillets and for processing work in respect of certain textile products under Community outward processing  arrangements
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 proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community has undertaken, within the framework of its external relations, to open each year for periods of, respectively, 1 July to 31 December and 1 September to 31 August of the following year, Community tariff quotas for 5 000 tonnes at  10 % duty for frozen fillets of hake presented in the form of industrial blocks with bones ('standard') and, after various adaptations, a duty-free Community tariff quota for ECU 1 870 000 of added value for various kinds of processing work in respect  of certain textile products under outward processing arrangements; whereas the tariff quotas in question should accordingly be opened for the agreed periods and in accordance with the agreed elements;
Whereas provision should be made in particular to ensure equal and continuous access for those concerned to the quotas in question and consistent application, until the quotas are exhausted, of the rate prescribed for the said quotas to all goods which  are imported or re-imported into any of the Member States and which meet the prescribed conditions;
Whereas the decision for the opening, in the execution of its international obligations, of tariff quotas should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no obstacle 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, all transactions concerning the administration of the shares levied by  that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
