COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 4094/86
of 23 December 1986
laying down detailed rules for implementing the import arrangements applicable to manioc falling within subheading 07.06 A of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in third countries other than Thailand
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4066/86 of 22 December 1986 concerning transitional measures for imports from third countries of manioc falling within subheading 07.06 A of the Common Customs Tariff and amending Regulation (EEC) No 950/86 of the Common Customs Tariff (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1579/86 (3), and in particular Article 12 (2) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4066/86 adopted transitional measures to ensure fulfilment of the Community's international commitments and enable traditional trade flows to continue; whereas detailed rules for the application thereof should be laid down;
Whereas the issue of import licences involving the right to import at a levy not exceeding 6 % ad valorem should be made subject to special detailed rules in order to allow proper implementation of the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 4066/86 aimed, in particular, at ensuring that the quantities laid down are not exceeded; whereas proper implementation requires, for most of the products falling within subheading 07.06 A of the Common Customs Tariff, certain derogations to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 of 3 December 1980 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3913/86 (5);
Whereas, in order to enable quantities originating in countries not parties to the GATT to be shared amongst operators, a limit should be placed on the amount for which any one operator may apply for a licence;
Whereas, however some of the products falling within subheading 07.06 A are for use as human food rather than livestock feed; whereas in the case of those products, the amounts of which imported are very small, it is not necessary to apply certain provisions aimed at ensuring that quantities laid down are not exceeded or to make provision for securities of amounts different from those laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3818/86 (7);
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
