30. 6. 94 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 162/5 COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1502/94 of 27 June 1994 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain industrial fisheries products (third series 1994) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas production in the Community of certain indus- trial fisheries products will remain in the course of 1994 unable to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of products of this type will depend to a considerable extent on imports from third countries ; whereas the most urgent Community requirements for the products in question should be met immediately on the most favourable terms; whereas Community tariff quotas at zero duty should therefore be opended within the limits of appropriate volumes for a period up to 31 December 1994 or up to 30 June 1995 taking account of the need not to disturb the markets for such projects nor the starting out or development of Community production ; Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted applica- tion of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up; Whereas the decision for the opening of autonomous tariff quotas should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common adminis- tration of these quotas, there is no obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas, however, 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, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION : Article 1 From the date on which this Regulation enters into force until the date shown in the table below, the customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of the products listed below shall be suspended at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below : Amount Quota o;der CN Xcode Description of quota duty l;ate' of ° 0 (in tonnes) (%) xpiey 09.2701 | ex 03019200 | Eels (Anguilla spp,) live, fresh, chilled or frozen, 5000 0 30.6.1995 ex 0302 66 00 | intended for processing by curing or skinning enter- ex 03037600 | prises or for use in the industrial manufacture of products falling within CN code 1604 (a) 09.2881 | ex 3901 9000 | Chlorosulphonated polyethylene 3 500 0 31.12.1994 09.2883 | ex 2917 3990 | Benzene-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid 1,2-anhydride 4000 0 31.12.1994 (') See Taric codes in the Annex.
