Council Regulation (EC) No 1671/2000
of 20 July 2000
amending Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 as regards a temporary derogation for duty-free imports of beer into Finland
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament(1),
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Commitee(2),
Whereas:
(1) Article 26 of Council Directive 92/12/EEC of 25 February 1992 on the general arrangements for products subject to excise duty and on the holding, movement and monitoring of such product(3), grants Finland the right to maintain a quantitative limit for beer acquisitions from other Member States of 15 litres, as laid down in the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, which is exempted from Finnish taxes.
(2) Finland should take measures to ensure that imports of beer from third countries are not allowed under more favourable conditions than such imports from other Member States.
(3) Whereas Article 45 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 918/83, of 28 March 1983 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty(4), provides that goods contained in the personal luggage of travellers coming from a third country shall be admitted free of import duties, provided that such imports are of a non-commercial nature.
(4) In accordance with Article 47 of regulation (EEC) No 918/83, the total value of beer admissible free of import duties may not exceed EUR 175 per traveller. In accordance with Article 47(2) thereof, Member States may reduce this amount to EUR 90 for travellers under 15 years of age.
(5) Finland has requested a derogation from these values and has asked to apply a quantitative limitation for duty-free beer imports from third countries.
(6) A limit of not less than 6 litres of beer seems appropriate, regard being had to the geographical situation of Finland and the economic difficulties of Finnish retailers located in the border regions and the considerable loss of revenue caused by the increased duty-free imports of beer from third countries.
(7) It is necessary to set a time limit for this derogation in order to ensure that the equal treatment of travellers throughout the Community is ensured after a transitional period.
(8) It is appropriate to maintain this derogation two years longer than the restriction for beer imported into Finland from other Member States, in order to allow the Finnish retail trade to adapt to the new situtation,
The following Article shall be inserted in Regulation (EEC) No 918/83:
"Article 47b
By way of derogation from the values set out in Article 47, Finland shall be authorised until 31 December 2005 to apply a quantitative limit of not less than 6 litres for duty-free imports of beer."
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Whereas the European Council of 11 and 12 February 1988 laid down as a guideline the elimination of potential costs inherent in stocks of agricultural products;
Whereas, in the case of alcohol from distillation as provided for in Article 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 (2), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3992/87 (3), public stocks are in future to be depreciated by the difference between the buying-in price and the foreseeable disposal value pursuant to Articles 7 and 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2050/88 (5);
Whereas, as regards alcohol from distillation as referred to in Articles 35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) is to bear only the costs arising from its disposal in sectors other than on the markets for alcohol and spirituous beverages produced in the Community; whereas, to devalue such alcohol in a way similar to that by which alcohol from distillation as referred to in Article 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 is depreciated, a special provision is required; whereas that provision should be inserted into Regulation (EEC) No 822/87,
The following subparagraphs are hereby inserted after the first subparagraph of Article 37 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87:
'From 1 October 1988, quantities bought in by intervention agencies shall qualify for a payment on account of the cost of disposal of the products of distillation. The amount of the payment on account shall be fixed by the Commission before the beginning of each financial year, taking account of the difference between the buying-in price and the foreseeable selling price.
Notwithstanding the second subparagraph, an overall payment on account shall be made to intervention agencies for products held at the end of the 1988 financial year and taken over by the intervention agencies after 1 September 1982.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
