COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 1069/86
of 8 April 1986
amending Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 on the Common Customs Tariff
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 Community has bound the customs duty on television image and sound recorders or reproducers falling within subheading 92.11 B of the Common Customs Tariff at a rate of 8 %; whereas that binding is contained in the schedule LXXII-EEC annexed to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT);
Whereas the Community has found it desirable to replace the voluntary export restraints on the abovementioned products, which expired on 31 December 1985, with an appropriate tariff measure, thereby providing adequate import protection consistent with the GATT; whereas the Community accordingly invoked Article XXVIII of the GATT in order to modify its international commitment on the level of its customs duties for the products in question;
Whereas in the absence of an agreement with the main supplier, the Community modified the concession in question in accordance with Article XXVIII (3) (a) of the GATT; whereas the tariff concession on certain of the said products was raised from 8 % to 14 % from 1 January 1986; whereas by way of compensation the tariff concession on certain products falling within subheading 85.21 D II was reduced from 17 % to 14 % and those on certain products falling within subheading 84.52 A, 85.15 A III and 92.11 A were reduced to zero from 1 January 1986;
Whereas the appropriate amendments to the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 were made by Regulation (EEC) No 3679/85 (1);
Whereas since 1 January 1986 the Community has reached an agreement with the main supplier; whereas as a result of this agreement certain modifications have been made to the scope of the products falling within subheadings 84.52 A, 85.15 A III and 92.11 A in respect of which duties were reduced to zero from 1 January 1986;
Whereas these amendments should therefore be made to the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68,
The Common Customs Tariff annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3679/85 is hereby amended as indicated in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 15 April 1986.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Decision 97/413/EC of 26 June 1997 concerning the objectives and detailed rules for restructuring the Community fisheries sector for the period from 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2001 with a view to achieving a balance on a sustainable basis between resources and their exploitation(2), and in particular Article 9(1) thereof,

(2) Whereas in order to improve the quality of the catches by pelagic vessels and hence increase the proportion of these catches landed for human consumption it is necessary to allow an increase in their capacity;
(3) Whereas that this increase in capacity should be achieved by a reallocation of capacity from other segments and should not result in an increase in the global objectives fixed by Decision 98/131/EC;
(4) Whereas the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture failed to deliver an opinion within the time allowed by its chairman,
The table of objectives for the multi-annual guidance programmes for the fishing fleet of Sweden for the period 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2001, shown in the Annex to the present Decision, including the footnotes, cancels and replaces that shown in the Annex to Decision 98/131/EC.
