COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1505/95 of 29 June 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 903/90 laying down detailed rules for the application of the arrangements applicable to imports of certain poultrymeat products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP) or in the overseas countries and territories (OCT), in order to implement the Agricultural Agreement concluded during the Uruguay Round of negotiations

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (1), and in particular Article 3 (1) thereof,

Whereas, in order to take account of existing import arrangements in the poultrymeat sector and those resulting from the Agricultural Agreement concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, transitional measures are needed to adjust the preferential concessions in the form of exemption from the import duty for certain poultrymeat products from the ACP States and the OCT;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 903/90 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1741/90 (3), lays down detailed rules for the application of preferential conditions in the form of a reduction in the import levy for poultrymeat quotas; whereas, since the levies are being replaced by customs duties from 1 July 1995, it is necessary to make transitional adjustments to these rules;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Eggs and Poultrymeat,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The word 'levy` is replaced by the words 'customs duty laid down in the Common Customs Tariff` each time that it appears.
