COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1253/96 of 27 June 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 3059/95 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quota for certain agricultural and industrial 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 industrial and fishery products will remain in the course of 1996 unable 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 by Regulation (EC) No 3059/95 (1) the Council opened for 1996 Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products; whereas the volume of the quota for glass granulate (Order No 09.2867), and felt tips (Order No 09.2894) should be increased and new tariff quotas at zero rate should be opened, with effect from the entry into force of this Regulation, within the limits of appropriate volumes taking into account of the need not to disturb the markets for such products nor the starting out or development of Community production;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
