COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3878/91 of 19 December 1991 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain hand-woven fabrics, pile and chenille (1992)

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, as regards hand-woven fabrics of silk, waste silk other than noil and cotton, the Community has declared its readiness to open annual duty-free Community tariff quotas up to a value (customs value) which, for 1991, amounted to ECU 2 316 000 for silk fabrics and to ECU 2 069 000 for cotton fabrics; whereas products may be admitted under the Community tariff quota only on production of a certificate of manufacture recognized by the relevant authorities of the Community, such products being stamped in a manner approved by those authorities at the beginning and end of each item and carried direct from the country of manufacture to the Community; whereas it is, accordingly, appropriate to open the tariff quotas in question with effect from 1 January 1992, at the levels set for 1991;

Whereas equal and continuous access to the quotas should be ensured for all Community importers and the rate laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all imports until the quotas are used up; whereas the necessary measures should be taken to ensure that these tariff quotas are administered efficiently and on a Community basis, so that Member States have the option of drawing the necessary quantities, corresponding to actual imports recorded, from the quota volumes; whereas this method of administration calls for 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 relating to the administration of the quotas may be carried out by any one of its members,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

• 1. 

  From 1 January to 31 December 1992, the customs duties applicable to imports of the following products shall be suspended at the level indicated and within the limits of Community tariff quotas as shown herewith:
