COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1921/84

of 4 July 1984

concerning a second amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 500/84 allocating import quotas fixed for certain products originating in the United States of America

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 349/84 of 6 February 1984 suspending tariff concesssions and increasing duties under the Common Customs Tariff with regard to certain products originating in the United States of America and establishing quantitative restrictions with regard to other products originating in that country (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1346/84 (2), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 500/84 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1576/84 (4), broke down the import quotas fixed for certain products originating in the United States of America into two parts, of which the first is distributed amongst the Member States and the second constitutes a Community reserve;

Whereas to meet urgent supply requirements for one of the products, in particular in certain Member States, it is necessary to modify the breakdown between Member States by means of a return to the Community reserve of a part of the initial Benelux allocation;

Whereas the aforesaid Council Regulation (EEC) No 1346/84 adjusted import quotas in order to take better account of the development of the dollar/ECU exchange rate; whereas, without prejudice to the allocation of the resulting increase for the other products it should henceforth be devoted to satisfying the immediate needs of the abovementioned supply requirements for one of the products in question;

Whereas it is necessary, in the light of previous experience, to fix certain dates by which information is to be communicated;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Quota Administration Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 500/84 is hereby amended in accordance with the Annex hereto.

Article 2

Article 2, first line, is replaced by the following text:

'Member States shall communicate to the Commission, by 15 September 1984 at the latest, the total imports entered and charged against the Community quota on 31 August 1984.'

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 4 July 1984.
