COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 3810/86
of 11 December 1986
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for boysenberries, preserved by freezing, not containing added sugar, intended for any form of processing except for the manufacture of jam entirely from boysenberries, falling within subheading ex 08.10 D of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Whereas the Community currently depends on imports from third countries for its supplies of boysenberries; whereas it is in the Community's interest to partially suspend the Common Customs Tariff duty for the product in question, within a Community tariff quota of an appropriate volume; whereas in order not to interfere with the prospects for developing fruit production in the Community and at the same time ensure an adequate supply to satisfy user industries, it is advisable to limit the benefit of the tariff quota to a quantitiy of 1 500 tonnes, to open the quota for the period 1 January to 31 December 1987 and to fix the quota duty at 15 %;
Whereas it is in particular necessary to allow all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the quota and to ensure uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for that quota to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quota has been used up; whereas, in the present case, it seems advisable not to allocate this quota among the Member States but to allow them to draw against the quota volume such quantities as they may need, under the conditions and according to the procedure specified in Article 1 (2); whereas this method of management requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must, in particular, be able to monitor the rate at which the quota is being used up and inform the Member States thereof;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within, and jointly represented by, the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning the administration of shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any of its members,
