COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 3915/92 of 19 December 1992 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas bound in GATT for certain agricultural and industrial products
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 undertaken, within the framework of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to open yearly reduced or zero-duty Community tariff quotas on certain conditions for certain agricultural and industrial products; whereas the tariff quotas in question should accordingly be opened for 1993, specifying, where appropriate, the agreed entry conditions;
Whereas all Community importers should be ensured equal and continuous access to the said quotas and the duty rates laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted; whereas the necessary measures should be taken to ensure efficient administration of the tariff quotas at Community level by providing for Member States to draw against the quota volumes such quantities as they may need to cover actual imports as recorded; 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 quantities drawn by that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

-
2.From 30 November 1993 imports of newsprint from Canada or from other third countries may be charged against the remainder of either of the quota volumes for newsprint referred to in Article 1 (1) not used by 29 November 1993 and not expected to be used by 31 December 1993.
Article 3
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take any appropriate administrative measures to ensure that they are managed efficiently.
Article 4
Where an importer presents a product covered by this Regulation for release for free circulation in a Member State, applying to take advantage of the preferential arrangements, and the entry 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.
Requests for drawings, indicating the date on which the entries were accepted, must be sent to the Commission without delay.
Drawings shall be granted by the Commission in...
