COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3637/93 of 16 December 1993 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas bound in GATT for certain agricultural and industrial products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 1994, 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 decision for the opening, in the execution of its international obligations, of tariff quotas should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;

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:
