THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009 of 16 November 2009 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty (1), and in particular Article 76 thereof,
Having regard to the request, made by the Government of Hungary dated 2 June 2010 seeking the duty-free importation of goods intended to be made available free of charge to victims of the floods which occurred in Spring 2010 in Hungary,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
A flood constitutes a disaster within the meaning of Title XVII C of Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009; whereas there is consequently reason to authorize the duty-free importation of goods which satisfy the requirements of Articles 74 to 80 of the abovementioned Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009. |
|
(2) |
In order that the Commission may be suitably informed of the use made of the goods admitted duty-free, the Government of Hungary must communicate the measures taken to prevent such goods imported duty-free from being employed otherwise than for the use laid down. |
|
(3) |
The Commission should also be informed of the extent and the nature of the importations made. |
|
(4) |
Other Member States have been consulted as laid down in Article 76 of Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
