23. 6. 95 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 140/1 (Acts whose publication is obligatory) COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1404/95 of 15 June 199§ opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain industrial products (third series 1995) and modifying Regulations (EC) No 2878/94 and (EC) No 915/95 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain industrial and fishery products 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 products will remain, in the course of 1995, unable to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Communtiy; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of products of this type will depend to a conside- rable 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 opened within the limits of appropriate volumes for a period up to 31 December 1995 taking account of the need not to disturb the markets for such products nor the starting out or develop- ment of Community production ; Whereas by Regulation (EC) No 2878/94 (') and (EC) No 915/95 (%) the Council opened, for 1995 Community tariff quotas for certain industrial and fishery products, and in particular ferro-chromium containing by weight more than 6 % of carbon (order No 09.2711), fresh chilled or frozen cod (order No 09.2753), cod, salted but not dried (order No 09.2765), shrimps (order No 09.2773), cod livers (order No 09.2758), frozen surimi (order No 09.2779), and blue grenadier fillets (order No 09.2780) ; Whereas current economic data suggests that the Community demand of non-Community imports of the products in question could in the course of the year () OJ No L 304, 29. 11. 1994, p. 1. () OJ No L 95, 27. 4. 1995, p. 1. exceed the volumes laid down in the above Regulation, whereas the volume of the quota in question should therefore be increased; Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application 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 reasonable obstacle to authorizing 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 1. From the date of entry into force of the present Regulation, to the date specified in the following table, 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 :
