No L 256/2 Official Journal of the European Communities '14. 10. 93 COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2803/93 of 11 October 1993 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products (fourth series 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 production in the Community of certain agricul- tural and industrial products will remain in the course of 1993 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 extend 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 opened within the limits of appropriate volumes for a period up to 31 December 1993 taking account of the need not to disturb the markets for such products nor the develop- ment 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 ; 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, all transactions concerning the admi- nistration of ‘the quantities drawn by that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION : Article 1 From the date of entry into force of this Regulation until 31 December 1993 the duties applicable to imports of the following products shall be suspended at the levels and up to the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below : Quota Order " CN code No 0 Description volume 09.2863 09.2865 09.2867 ex 8473 30 90 ex 85409100 ex 3207 40 90 Thin-film magnetic heads of Winchester technology capable of recording to a density of 78 tracks or more per millimetre, for the incorporation in hard disc storage units with an external disc diameter not exceeding 8,89 cm (3,5 inches) (a) Molybdenum chrome steel frames for the manufacture of 533,4 mm (£ 1,0 mm) (21 inches), 635,0 mm (+ 1,0 mm) (25 inches) or 736,6 mm (£ 1,0 mm) (29 inches) cathode-ray tubes (a) Glass granulate, containing by weight : — 73 % or more but not more than 77 % of silicon dioxide, — 12 % or more but not more than 18 % of diboron trioxide and, — 4 % or more but not more than 8 % of polyethylene glycol 400 000 pieces 550 000 pieces 60 tonnes .
