## Introductory text

Council Regulation (EC) No 2243/2004
of 22 December 2004
amending Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
On 20 December 1996 the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products. Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions. New Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened at reduced or zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes and certain existing tariff quotas should be extended, while avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these products.
(2)
Since the quota amount for certain Community tariff quotas is insufficient to meet the needs of Community industry for the current quota period, these tariff quotas should be increased with effect from 1 January 2005.
(3)
It is no longer in the Community interest to continue to grant Community tariff quotas in 2005 for certain products on which duties were suspended in 2004. These products should therefore be removed from the table in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96.
(4)
In view of the many changes to be made, the full text of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should be replaced in the interests of clarity.
(5)
Having regard to the economic importance of this Regulation, it is necessary to rely upon the grounds of urgency provided for in point I.3 of the Protocol annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities on the role of national parliaments in the European Union.
(6)
Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

## 1 

Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 is replaced by the Annex hereto.

## 2 

For the quota period from 1 January to 30 June 2005, in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96:
the validity of tariff quota 09.2021 shall expire on 30 June 2005; its volume shall remain unaltered,
the quota amount of tariff quota 09.2613 is fixed at 400 tonnes at a 0 % rate of duty.

## 3 

For the quota period from 1 January to 31 December 2005, in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96:
the quota amount of tariff quota 09.2023 is fixed at 700 000 units,
the quota amount of tariff quota 09.2603 is fixed at 3 400 tonnes,
the quota amount of tariff quota 09.2612 is fixed at 500 tonnes at a 0 % rate of duties,
the quota amount of tariff quota 09.2619 is fixed at 80 tonnes,
the quota amount of tariff quota 09.2620 is fixed at 500 000 units,
the quota amount of tariff quota 09.2621 is fixed at 1 500 tonnes and its period of validity shall expire on 31 December 2005,
the quota amount of tariff quota 09.2985 is fixed at 300 000 units and its period of validity shall expire on 31 December 2005.

## 4 

The tariff quotas 09.2605, 09.2606, 09.2607, 09.2609, 09.2614, 09.2918, 09.2957, 09.2966, 09.2993 and 09.2999 shall be closed from 31 December 2004.

## 5 

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2005.

## Signature

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 22 December 2004.
For the Council
The President
C. Veerman

## 

ANNEX I
Checks on this prescribed end use shall be carried out pursuant to the relevant Community provisions.
However, the tariff quota is not allowed where processing is carried out by retail or catering undertakings.
The quantities of goods subject to this quota and released for free circulation as from 1 July 2004, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1329/2004, shall be fully counted against this quantity.
The specific additional duty is applicable.
