COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2745/1999

of 17 December 1999

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)	By virtue of Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 (1), the Council opened Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products; Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions; Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened at reduced or zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes, and increased or extended in the case of certain existing tariff quotas, while avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these products;

---	---
(2)	It is no longer in the Community's interest to maintain a Community tariff quota on some of the products covered by the above Regulation, and those products should therefore be removed from the table in Annex I;

---	---
(3)	In view of the large number of amendments coming into effect on 1 January 2000 and in order to clarify matters for the user, the table in Annex I to the above Regulation should be replaced by the table in the Annex to this Regulation;

---	---
(4)	Having regard to the economic importance of the said Regulation for European industry and the requirement that it enter into force on 1 January 2000, it is necessary to invoke the ground of urgency referred to in point I(3) of the additional Protocol to the Treaty of Amsterdam on the role of national parliaments in the European Union;

---	---
(5)	Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
