COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3413/92 of 23 November 1992 temporarily suspending totally or partially the autonomous duties of the Common Customs Tariff for certain fishery products (1993)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Community supplies for certain fishery products currently depend on imports from third countries; whereas it is in the Community's interest to suspend totally or partially the customs duties for the products in question; whereas, in order not to jeopardize the development prospects of production of competitive products in the Community and to ensure an adequate supply to satisfy user industries, it is advisable to limit these suspension measures to a period from 1 January to 31 December 1993,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

• 1. 

  From 1 January to 31 December 1993, the autonomous duties of the Common Customs Tariff applicable to the products listed in the Annex shall be suspended at the level indicated in respect of each of them.

• 2. 

  Imports of the products in question shall not be covered by the suspensions referred to in paragraph 1 unless the free-at-frontier price, which is determined by the Member States in accordance with Article 24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3687/91 of 28 November 1991 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), is at least equal to the reference price fixed, or to be fixed, by the Community for the products under consideration or the catergories of the products concerned.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1993. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
