Council Regulation (EC) No 1263/2000
of 8 June 2000
amending Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By virtue of Regulation (EC) No 2505/96(1), the Council opened Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products. Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions. Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened at zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes and increased in the case of certain existing tariff quotas, while avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these products.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended,
