COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 05. 12. 1996 COM(96) 639 final Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) amending Regulation (EC) /96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products, and amending Regulation (EC) 3059/95 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products and Regulation (EC) n° 789/96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products (1996) (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMOR/ J 1. 2. 3 Subsequent to requests made by various Member States, the Services of the Commission have examined, in conjunction with the Government experts concerned, the question of increasing and opening tariff quotas for certain industrial and fishery products. Following this examination, which took place during the "Economic Tariff Questions" group meetings, it has been determined that a solution, according to which tariff quotas would be opened for the products covered by this proposal could have the agreement of the Member States without disturbing the markets for such products, Having regard to the requirements of the internal and external policies of the Community, the Commission is proposing the increase of tariff quota (cod), to ensure continuation of Community production in accordance with the rules and obligations of the common organisation of the markets, and to ensure supply of the processing industries while also taking into account the current and foreseeable situation on the international market. This is the purpose of the attached proposal. Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No. 796 of amending Regulation (EC) /96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products, and amending Regulation (EC) 3059/95 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial products and Regulation (EC) n° 789/96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products (1996) 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 agricultural and industrial products will be insufficient 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 reduced or zero duty should therefore be opened within the limits of appropriate volumes taking account of the need not to disturb the markets for such products nor the starting out or development of Community production; Whereas by Regulation (EC)n°789/96* the Council opened, for 1996 Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products; whereas the volume of the quota for cod (Order Nr. 09. 2753) should be increased; HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 1 In the Regulation (EC) n° 789/96, the table shown in the Annex is replaced, for the order n° 09. 2753 by the table shown in the Annex I of this Regulation. 2 Order numbers and corresponding textes in Annex II of this regulation are added to the table in Regulation (EC) n° /96, Annex I Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the 7th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall be apply from 1 April 1996 with respect to Annex I and from 1 January 1997 with respect to Annex II of this regulation. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
