Council Regulation (EEC) No 918/83
of 28 March 1983
setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 28, 43 and 235 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 Committee [2],
Whereas, in the absence of a specific measure of derogation adopted in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty, Common Customs Tariff duties are applicable to all goods imported into the Community; whereas the same is true in the case of agricultural levies and all other import charges laid down under the common agricultural policy or the specific arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products;
Whereas, however, in certain well-defined circumstances, where by virtue of the special conditions under which goods are imported the usual need to protect the economy is absent, such taxation is not justified;
Whereas it is desirable that in such circumstances arrangements should be made, as they have been traditionally in most systems of customs rules, to allow goods to enjoy relief from the application of import duties to which they would normally be liable;
Whereas such relief arrangements may also be the result of multilateral international conventions to which all or some of the Member States are contracting parties; whereas, while the Community should apply such conventions, this presupposes the introduction of Community rules on reliefs from customs duties designed, in accordance with the requirements of the Customs Union, to eliminate differences in the aim, scope and conditions for application of the reliefs contained in these conventions, and to enable all those concerned to enjoy the same advantages throughout the Community;
Whereas certain reliefs currently applied in the Member States stem from specific conventions concluded with third countries or international organizations; whereas such conventions, given their purpose, concern only the signatory Member State; whereas it does not appear necessary to define, at Community level, conditions for granting such reliefs, but appears sufficient simply to authorize the Member State in question to grant these reliefs, where necessary, by means of an appropriate procedure instituted for this purpose;
Whereas the implementation of the common agricultural policy means that in certain circumstances export duties may be charged on some goods; whereas it is therefore also necessary to specify at Community level the cases in which relief from such duties may be granted;
Whereas the Council has already adopted a number of Regulations concerning reliefs from customs duties and it appears desirable, with a view to establishing a single comprehensive Community system of reliefs, to...
