COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3704/89 of 27 November 1989 totally or partially suspending the duties applicable to certain products falling within Chapters 1 to 24 of the combined nomenclature and originating in Malta (1990)
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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80 of 11 November 1980 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Annex I to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Malta (2), the Community must partially suspend the Common Customs Tariff duties applicable to certain products; whereas it would also be appropriate provisionally to adjust or supplement certain of the tariff benefits provided for in the said Annex; whereas, in respect of products listed
in the Annex to this Regulation and originating in Malta,
the Community should accordingly suspend the fixed component of the charge applicable to goods covered by Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80 and the customs duty applicable to other goods at the levels indicated for each product from 1 January to 31 December 1990;
Whereas in the context of the said tariff suspensions, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic will apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the said Protocol to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Malta consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community (3); whereas, however, the products relating to Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (4) (order Nos 16.0027, 16.0029 and 16.0039) the Portuguese Republic will defer application of the preferential system until 31 December 1990.
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1 1. From 1 January to 31 December 1990 products listed in the Annex and originating in Malta shall be imported into the Community at the rates of duty indicated in the Annex for each product.
(5) OJ No L 323, 29. 11. 1980, p. 1.
(6) OJ No L 61, 14. 3. 1971, p. 3.
(7) OJ No L 81, 23. 3. 1989, p. 11.
(8) OJ No L 118, 20. 5. 1972, p. 1.
Within the context of these tariff suspensions the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of
the Protocol to the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Malta consequent on the accession of Spain and Portugal.
However, the Portuguese Republic will defer application of the preferential system until 31 December 1990 for the products covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (order Nos 16.0027, 16.0029 and 16.0039).
2. For the purposes of applying this Regulation, the rules of origin shall be those in force at the time for the implementation of the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Malta.
Article 2 Where products benefiting from the arrangements, provided for in Article 1 are imported into the Community in such quantities or at such prices that they cause or threaten to cause material injury to Community producers of like or directly competing products, the duties applicable may be partially or totally reimposed on the products concerned. Such measures may be taken also in the event of material injury or threat of material injury limited to one region of the Community.
Article 3 1. In order to implement Article 2 the Commission may adopt a Regulation reimposing customs duties for a given period.
2. Where a Member State asks the Commission to adopt such a Regulation, the Commission shall reach its decision within a maximum of 10 working days from the day on which it receives the request and shall inform the Member States of the action taken.
3. Any Member State may refer the measure taken by the Commission to the Council within 10 working days of notification. The fact that the matter is referred to the Council shall not cause the measure to be suspended. The Council shall meet immediately. It may, acting on a qualified majority, amend or rescind the measure in question.
Article 4 This Regulation shall enter into force on the 1 January 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 27 November 1989.
