COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 904/91 of 9 April 1991 ending the charges against the tariff ceilings opened, in the framework of generalized tariff preferences, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3897/89 in respect of certain textile products originating in Pakistan, Brazil and Mexico

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3897/89 of 18 December 1989 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1990 in respect of textile products originating in developing countries (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3211/90 (2), and in particular the third paragraph of Article 12 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3897/89, suspension of customs duties in the context of preferential tariff ceilings is granted within the limits of the individual ceilings set out in column 8 of Annex I to that Regulation in respect of each of the categories of product under consideration; whereas as provided for in the third paragraph of Article 12 of the said Regulation, the Commission may, after 31 December 1990, take measures to stop quantities being charged against any particular preferential tariff limit if these limits were exceeded particularly as a result of regularizations of imports actually made during the preferential tariff period;

Whereas, in respect of the products of category 17 (order No 40.0/170) originating in Pakistan, and of category 97 (order No 40.0970) originating in Brazil and Mexico, the relevant ceilings were fixed at 77 000 pieces and 21 tonnes, respectively; whereas on 1 January 1991, the sum of the quantities charged during the 1990 preferential period has exceeded the ceilings in question;

Whereas it appears desirable to take measures to stop quantities being charged against the said ceilings in respect of Pakistan for category 17, and in respect of Brazil and Mexico for category 97,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1
