COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1600/95 of 30 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of the import arrangements and opening tariff quotas for milk and milk products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1538/95 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (3) and 16 (4) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81 of 14 September 1981 laying down special rules implementing the system of import and export licences and the advance fixing of refunds in respect of milk and milk products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1094/95 (4), has been repealed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 (5) with effect from 1 July 1995; whereas special rules must be laid down for the system of import licences for milk products and in particular the amount of the security to be lodged, the period of validity of licences and the operations not covered by the system;

Whereas the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations (hereinafter referred to as the 'Agreement`) provides for certain tariff quotas for milk and milk products under the 'current access` and 'minimum access` arrangements; whereas those quotas should be opened for an initial annual period ending on 30 June 1996; whereas rules should be laid down for the management of those quotas;

Whereas tariff quotas are opened under the current access arrangements for specified countries; whereas, in order to check that products imported under the quotas conform to the product description laid down and that the tariff quotas are complied with, use should be made of the arrangements currently in force under which certificates are issued on the responsibility of the exporter country;

Whereas certain special conditions previously applied to imports authorized under special arrangements should be applied to imports of New Zealand butter under the quota provided for in the Agreement in order to monitor their origin and destination;

Whereas tariff quotas under the minimum access arrangements are opened for unspecified countries; whereas, in order to ensure correct and equitable management of the quotas, acceptance of licence applications should be subject to the lodging of a security greater than that required for normal imports and certain conditions should be laid down for the submission of licence applications; whereas the quotas should be spread out over the year and the procedure for the allocation of licences and their period of validity should be laid down; whereas this type of management requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission;

Whereas, in the interests of clarity and efficiency, the Regulation should contain provisions on the import of milk products under tariff quotas opened pursuant to other international agreements and on the import of milk products under preferential quota arrangements; whereas checks on the description of the products concerned and, where appropriate, on compliance with the quota may be made on the basis of the system of certificates issued by the exporter country;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1767/82 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1351/95 (7), may therefore be repealed;

Whereas the special provisions of this Regulation are either supplementary to, or derogate from, the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1199/95 (9);

Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
