COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 565/2010
of 29 June 2010
amending Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In order to ensure sufficient and uninterrupted supplies of certain goods insufficiently produced in the Union and to avoid any disturbances on the market for certain agricultural and industrial products, autonomous tariff quotas have been opened by Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 (1). Products within those tariff quotas can be imported at reduced or zero duty rates. For the same reasons it is necessary to open, with effect from 1 July 2010, for certain products new tariff quotas at a zero duty rate for an appropriate volume.
(2) The quota volumes for autonomous tariff quotas of the Union with order Nos 09.2814, 09.2816 and 09.2807 are insufficient to meet the needs of the Union industry. Consequently, those quota volumes should be increased.
(3) The product description for the autonomous tariff quota of the Union with order No 09.2907 should be revised.
(4) Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) Since the tariff quotas provided for in this Regulation should take effect from 1 July 2010, this Regulation should apply from the same date and enter into force immediately,
