COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1639/87
of 9 June 1987
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for apricot pulp falling within subheading ex 20.06 B II c 1 aa) of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Turkey
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4115/86 of 22 December 1986 on imports into the Community of certain agricultural products originating in Turkey (1) provides for the opening by the Community of an annual Community tariff quota of 90 tonnes at zero duty for apricot pulp falling within subheading ex 20.06 B II c) 1 aa) of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Turkey; whereas such a quota has been opened for the period up to 30 June 1987 by Regulation (EEC) No 1910/86 (2); whereas the tariff quota in question should therefore be opened for the abovementioned volume for the period 1 July 1987 to 30 June 1988;
Whereas, since a Protocol as provided for in Article 118 (1) of the 1979 Act of Accession and in Articles 179 and 366 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal does not exist, the Community adopted the measures envisaged respectively in Article 119 and in Articles 180 and 367 of those Acts, in Regulations (EEC) No 3555/80 (3) and (EEC) No 449/86 (4), determining the arrangements to be applied to imports into Greece and Spain and Portugal respectively, originating in particular in Turkey; whereas the quota concerned will, therefore, apply to the Community of Nine;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure to all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the rate laid down for that quota to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quota has been used up; whereas, however, since the quota is to cover requirements which cannot be determined with sufficient accuracy, it should not be allocated among the Member States, without prejudice to the drawing against the quota volume of such quantities as they may need, under the conditions and according to a procedure to be determined; whereas this method of management 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 quota is used up and inform the Member States thereof;
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 administration of shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
