Article 1 
1. From 1 May to 31 December 1993 imports into the Community of certain products originating in Romania which are listed in Annexes I and II shall be subject to Community tariff quotas or ceilings. Annexes I and II provide a description of the products concerned, (combined nomenclature codes), and the rates of customs duty applicable. Once the Interim Agreement enters into force, the volumes of the tariff quotas and ceilings indicated in the Annexes shall if necessary be reduced to take account of the volume of goods imported from Romania from 1 January 1993 under other preferential tariff arrangements, in accordance with Protocol 7 to the Interim Agreement. The Commission shall inform the Member States and economic operators of the reduction in quota and ceiling volumes attributable to generalized preferences as rapidly as possible, by publishing them in the 'C' series of the Official Journal of the European Communities. 2. Protocol 4 to the Interim Agreement concerning the definition of the concept of originating products and methods of administration cooperation, shall apply. Article 2 1. The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take all appropriate administrative measures in order to ensure efficient administration thereof. 2. Where an importer declares a product covered by this Regulation for free circulation in a Member State and applies to take advantage of the preferential arrangements, and that declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the quota-volume concerned. Requests for drawings, indicating the date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be sent to the Commission without delay. The drawings shall be granted by the Commission by reference to the date of acceptance of the declaration for free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits. 3. If a Member State dues not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them to the corresponding quota-volume as soon as possible. 4. If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota-volume, the balance shall be allocated on a pro rata basis. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made. Article 3 1. Quantities shall be charged against the ceilings as and when products are declared to the customs authorities for free circulation. Goods may be charged against a ceiling only if the movement certificate is presented before the date on which levying of customs duties is reintroduced. 2. The level of utilization of the ceilings shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against them in accordance with paragraph 1. Member States shall send the Commission, not later than the 15th day of each month, statements of the quantities charged in respect of imports during the preceding month. 3. As soon as the ceilings have been reached, the Commission may adopt a Regulation reintroducing the customs duties applicable to the third countries in question until the end of the calendar year. When the adoption of such a Regulation is requested by a Member State, the Commission shall examine the request within the following five days and inform the requesting Member State of the action it considers it should take as a result of the request, in the light, in particular, of the statements provided for in paragraph 2. Article 4 The Commission shall take all appropriate measures, in close cooperation with the Member States, to ensure compliance with this Regulation. Article 5 This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply from 1 May 1993 or from the date of entry into force of the Interim Agreement, whichever is the later. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Luxembourg, 26 April 1993. For the Council The President B. WESTH
