20. 4. 95 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 86/7 COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 851/95 of 10 April 1995 opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for table cherries originating in Switzerland THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,F Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas, in the Agreement concluded between the Community and Switzerland, and approved by Decision 86/559/EEC ("), the Community undertook to open each year, subject to certain conditions, a Community tariff quota at zero rate of duty for table cherries originating in this country ; whereas this tariff quota should be opened, and, where necessary, the conditions of eligibility laid down should be specified ; whereas, for reasons of simpli- fication, provision should be made to empower the Commission to give effect, following receipt of the opinion of the Customs Code Committee, to necessary amendments and technical adaptations of this Regulation arising from amendments of the combined nomenclature and Taric codes and to adaptations of the volume, periods and quota rate arising from decisions by the Council; Whereas the tariff quota provided in the Agreement in question relates to an indefinite period and accordingly, for reasons of efficiency and simplifying the implementa- tion ‘of the measures concerned, it appears suitable to provide that the application of this Regulation should be placed on a multiannual footing ; Whereas all Community importers should be ensured equal and continuous access to the said quota and the duty rate laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the product in question into all Member States until the quota is exhausted, during the whole period of validity of the EEC-Switzerland Agree- ment ; Whereas the decision for the opening, in the execution of its international obligations, of tariff quotas should be taken by the Community ; whereas, to ensure the effici- ency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports ; whereas 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 1. From 1 January to 31 December of each year, the customs duties applicable to imports of the products listed below shall be suspended at the levels indicated below and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas as shown below.
