COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3500/82

of 21 December 1982

increasing the amount of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 1538/82 for certain eels falling within subheading ex 03.01 A II of the Common Customs Tariff

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,

Whereas by Regulation (EEC) No 1538/82 (1), the Council opened and allocated among the Member States a duty-free Community tariff quota for certain eels falling within subheading ex 03.02 A II of the Common Customs Tariff, the amount of which was fixed at 5 000 tonnes;

Whereas, on the basis of the most recent data on this product, it is estimated that, for the quota period, the imports from third countries required by the Community currently could reach a level higher than the amount of the abovementioned quota; whereas in order not to disturb the equilibrium of the market for this product and to ensure parallel development in sales of Community production and satisfactory security of supplies to the consuming industries, it is appropriate to limit any increase in the quota amount to an amount of 950 tonnes;

Whereas the shares fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 1538/82, with regard to the Member States in which additional requirements have arisen, should be increased,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article1¶
