COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1180/77  of 17 May 1977  on imports into the Community of certain agricultural products originating in Turkey
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas, in Decision No 1/77, the EEC-Turkey Association Council, pursuant to Article 35 (3) of the Additional Protocol, as amended by Article 10 of the Interim Agreement signed on 30 June 1973, established the arrangements to be applied to imports into the Community of certain agricultural products originating in Turkey;
Whereas the implementation of that Decision involves the adaptation of Community Regulations;
Whereas the provisions regarding imports into the Community of certain agricultural products originating in Turkey have been amended on a number of occasions following Association Council Decisions ; whereas the texts in question, since they are to be found in various Official Journals, are difficult to use and therefore lack the necessary clarity which any Regulation must have ; whereas it is therefore necessary to consolidate them;
Whereas, moreover, in order to bring together in a single Regulation all the provisions regarding imports into the Community of agricultural products originating in Turkey, it is desirable to incorporate in this Regulation the provisions laid down by Council Acts in implementation of the provisions of the Additional Protocol to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey;
Whereas Article 4 of Annex 6 to the Additional Protocol to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey provides for a tariff reduction for imports into the Community of fresh lemons originating in Turkey ; whereas, during the period of application of the reference prices this reduction is subject to the observance of a given price on the internal market of the Community ; whereas the implementation of these arrangements requires the adoption of detailed rules for their application;
Whereas the proposed arrangements must be included in the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables ; whereas it is therefore necessary to take account of the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 795/76 (3), and of those adopted pursuant to that Regulation;
Whereas Article 12 of Annex 6 to the Additional Protocol to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey stipulates that the levy on imports of durum wheat and canary seed produced in Turkey and transported direct from that country into the Community shall be the levy calculated in accordance with Article 13 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3138/76 (5), less 0 75 unit of account per tonne;
Whereas Article 13 of the abovementioned Annex stipulates that, on condition that Turkey applies a special charge on exports of rye into the Community, the levy on imports into the Community of that product, calculated in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, shall be reduced by an amount equal to that of the charge paid up to a maximum of eight units of account per tonne;
Whereas it is necessary to stipulate, in accordance with the Additional Protocol, that the special charge referred to above shall be reflected in the price of rye imported into  (1)OJ No C 118, 16.5.1977, p. 68. (2)OJ No L 118, 20.5.1972, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 93, 8.4.1976, p. 6. (4)OJ No L 281, 1.11.1975, p. 1. (5)OJ No L 354, 24.12.1976, p. 1.
the Community ; whereas, in order to ensure that the arrangements in question are properly implemented, it is necessary to adopt the necessary measures so that, on importing rye, the importer supplies proof that the special export charge has been paid by the exporter,
