COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 2411/89
of 28 July 1989
amending Regulation (EEC) No 430/87 concerning the import arrangements applicable to products falling within CN codes 0714 10 10, 0714 10 90 and 0714 90 10 and originating in certain third countries
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 Regulation (EEC) No 430/87 (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3837/88 (2), lays down the arrangements applicable to manioc and similar products originating in third countries which, on import into the Community, are subject to a levy of not more than 6 % ad valorem;
Whereas, pursuant to the intention announced by the Community within the framework of the multilateral negotiations within GATT to enable the least developed countries (LLDC) to qualify for a special measure in this sector, they should be granted a minimum guarantee of access to the existing quota arrangements;
Whereas the quantities of products originating in the LLDC should be charged against the quotas fixed, as the case may be, for the present Contracting Parties to the GATT referred to in Article 1 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 430/87 or for the third countries which are not members of GATT referred to in Article 1 (2) (d), without the exhaustion of these quotas preventing the import of an overall quantity of up to 5 000 tonnes per year of products originating in the countries concerned;
Whereas the tariff descriptions used in Regulation (EEC) No 430/87 should be altered to take account of the distinction introduced into the combined nomenclature by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3174/88 of 21 September 1988 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (3) between products intended for animal consumption and those intended for human consumption,
