Regulation as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1401/98 (OJ L 188, 2.7.1998, p. 1)., has been repeatedly and substantially amended; whereas now that further amendments are required it should be recast and simplified for the sake of clarity, in line with the Council Resolution of 25 October 1996OJ C 332, 7.11.1996, p. 1.;(3)This Regulation does not apply to tariff quotas for agricultural products bound in GATT, which are covered by 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 the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiationsOJ L 349, 31.12.1994, p. 105.;(4)Following the reductions in customs duties agreed within the framework of the GATT, certain products previously covered by Regulation (EC) No 1808/95 are now exempt from customs duties on import; they are therefore not included in this Regulation;(5)The Community has concluded an Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters with Canada providing for the opening of a 650000 tonne tariff quota for newsprint (order number 09.0015), 600000 tonnes of which, in accordance with Article XIII of the GATT, is reserved until 30 November of each year for products from Canada alone; the Agreement also provides for a mandatory 5 % increase in the share of the quota reserved for imports from Canada in the event of that share being exhausted before the end of a given year;(6)In accordance with the offer it made within the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad) and alongside its scheme of generalised preferences, the European Community introduced tariff preferences in 1971 for jute and coconut-fibre products originating in certain developing countries; these preferences took the form of a gradual reduction of Common Customs Tariff duties and, from 1978 to 31 December 1994, the complete suspension of these duties;(7)Since the entry into force of the new scheme of generalised tariff preferences on 1 January 1995 the Community has, alongside the GATT, opened autonomous zero-duty Community tariff quotas for specific quantities of jute and coconut-fibre products until 31 December 1999 by Regulations (EC) Nos 764/96OJ L 104, 27.4.1996, p. 1. and 1401/98OJ L 188, 2.7.1998, p. 1.; as the scheme of generalised preferences has been extended until 31 December 2001 by Regulation (EC) No 2820/98OJ L 357, 30.12.1998, p. 1., this quota arrangement should also be extended until 31 December 2001;(8)In the context of its external relations the Community has given Switzerland an undertaking each year to open a zero-duty tariff quota running from 1 September to 31 August of the following year, to cover various forms of processing work carried out on textiles under the outward processing arrangements; in accordance with the most favoured nation clause, Switzerland and other third countries can use this quota;(9)The Community has declared itself ready to open zero-rated annual Community tariff quotas for certain hand-made products and handloom fabrics; however, imports may only qualify for these quotas on presentation to the Community customs authorities of a certificate of authenticity issued by the competent authority of the beneficiary country stating that the goods in question are hand-made or hand-woven;(10)The term "hand-made products" needs to be defined in order to ensure that this system operates smoothly;(11)A system is required for updating the information on government authorities authorised to issue certificates of authenticity;(12)Proper application of the arrangements for hand-made products and fabrics woven on handlooms requires that provision be made for entitlement to tariff quotas to be temporarily withdrawn in whole or in part in the event of irregularities or lack of administrative cooperation, and that procedures for administrative cooperation be set up to check on the issuing of certificates of authenticity;(13)As access to the tariff quotas for hand-made products and handloom fabrics is open to developing countries under the GSP, the Commission should have the power, on receipt of an official request and after consulting the Customs Code Committee, to extend the list of quota beneficiaries to include countries entitled to the GSP which offer the necessary guarantees for checking the authenticity of the products;(14)The Community, in the fulfilment of its international obligations, is required to open tariff quotas; all Community importers should be guaranteed equal and continuous access to the said quotas, and the rates of duty laid down for the quotas should be applied without interruption to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted;(15)Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs CodeOJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 1.

Section 3Methods of administrative cooperation for hand-made or hand-woven products
Article 61.Access to the tariff quotas provided for in Articles 3 and 4 may at any time be temporarily withdrawn, in whole or in part, in the event of irregularities or of a lack of the administrative cooperation required for the checking of certificates of authenticity.2.The decision to withdraw temporarily, in whole or in part, entitlement to the tariff quotas referred to in paragraph 1 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 10(2), following appropriate prior consultations undertaken by the Commission with the beneficiary country in question.3.(a)Where the procedure for temporary total or partial withdrawal of access to tariff quotas is applied the Commission shall publish a notice in the "C" series of the Official Journal stating that it has reasonable doubt as to entitlement to benefit under this Regulation and listing the goods, producers and exporters concerned.(b)The proportion of customs debt corresponding to a concession granted under this Regulation shall be disregarded except where the debt is incurred after publication of the notice referred to in subparagraph (a) and in respect of goods, producers or exporters named in that notice, or where the second sentence of Article 221(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 applies.
Article 71.The beneficiary countries shall inform the Commission of the names and addresses of the governmental authorities situated in their territory which are empowered to issue certificates of authenticity, together with specimens of stamps used by those authorities, and the names and addresses of the governmental authorities responsible for checking the certificates. The stamps shall be valid from the date the Commission receives the specimens. The Commission shall forward this information, if possible by electronic means, to the customs authorities of the Member States. When such information is updating a previous communication, the Commission shall indicate the date when the new stamps become valid according to the instructions given by the competent authorities of the beneficiary countries. This information is confidential; however, when goods are presented for free circulation, the customs authorities in question may allow the importer or his duly authorised representative to consult the specimen impressions of stamps referred to in this paragraph.2.The Commission shall publish in the "C" series of the Official Journal of the European Communities the names of the authorities in the manufacturing countries entitled to issue certificates of authenticity and, where appropriate, the date on which new beneficiary countries met the obligations set out in paragraph 1.3.Subsequent verification of certificates of authenticity shall be carried out at random or whenever the customs authorities in the Community have reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the document or the accuracy of the information regarding the products in question.4.For the purposes of paragraph 1, the customs authorities in the Community shall return a copy of the certificate of authenticity to the competent governmental authority in the exporting beneficiary country, giving, where appropriate, the reasons of form or substance for an inquiry. The invoice or a copy thereof, as well as all other relevant documents, shall be attached to the copy of the certificate of authenticity. The customs authorities shall also forward any information that has been obtained suggesting that the particulars given on the certificate of authenticity are inaccurate.If the said authorities decide to suspend admission to the tariff quotas pending the results of the verification, they shall offer to release the products to the importer subject to any precautions judged necessary.5.When an application for subsequent verification has been made in accordance with paragraph 1, such verification shall be carried out and its results communicated to the customs authorities in the Community within a maximum of six months. The results shall be such as to establish whether the certificate of authenticity in question applies to the products actually exported and whether these products were in fact eligible to benefit from the tariff quota.6.If, in cases of reasonable doubt, there is no reply within the six months specified in paragraph 5 or if the reply does not contain sufficient information to determine the authenticity of the document in question or the accuracy of the information relating to the products concerned, a second communication shall be sent to the competent authorities. If after the second communication the results of the verification are not communicated to the requesting authorities within four months, or if these results do not allow the authenticity of the document in question to be determined, the requesting authorities shall, save in exceptional circumstances, refuse entitlement to the tariff measures.7.Where the verification procedure or any other available information appears to indicate that the provisions of this Article are being contravened, the exporting beneficiary country shall, on its own initiative or at the request of the Community, carry out appropriate inquiries or arrange for such enquiries to be carried out with due urgency to identify and prevent such contraventions. For this purpose the Community may participate in the inquiries.8.For the purpose of subsequent verification of certificates of authenticity, copies of the certificates as well as any export documents referring to them shall be kept for at least three years by the competent governmental authority of the exporting beneficiary country.
