of 4 December 2000
amending Regulation (EC) No 1349/2000 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Estonia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By virtue of Regulation (EC) No 1349/2000(1), the Council established with effect from 1 July 2000 certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and provided for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Estonia, of the other part(2).
(2) Annex A(b) to that Regulation sets out the concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain products originating in Estonia.
(3) It is necessary to lay down the management rules for tariff quotas which are allocated following the chronological order of dates of customs declarations, and to insert the order numbers for these quotas. Regulation (EC) No 1349/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly and Annex A(b) should be replaced.
(4) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(3) has codified the management rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of customs declarations,
