COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1550/91  of 3 June 1991  opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for apricot pulp originating in Turkey (1991/92)
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 the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4115/86 of 22 December 1986 on import into the Community of agricultural products originating in Turkey (1), provides for the opening by the Community of an annual Community tariff quota of 90 tonnes at  zero duty for apricot pulp originating in Turkey; whereas such a quota has been opened for the period up to 30 June 1991 by Regulation (EEC) No 726/90 (2); whereas the tariff quota in question should therefore be opened for the abovementioned volume for  the period 1 July 1991 to 30 June 1992;
Whereas the Council has adopted Regulation (EEC) No 1059/88 of 28 March 1988 laying down the arrangements applicable to Greece's trade with Turkey (3); whereas the Council has also adopted Regulation (EEC) No 2573/87 of 11 August 1987 laying down the  arrangements for trade between Spain and Portugal on the one hand and Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia and Turkey on the other (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4162/87 (5);
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the product in question into all the Member States until the quota is  exhausted; whereas it is appropriate to take the necessary measures to ensure efficient Community administration of this tariff quota while offering the Member States the opportunity to draw from the quota volume the necessary quantities corresponding  to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission;
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, any operation concerning the administration of the quota may be carried out  by any one of its members,
