COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1236/87

of 4 May 1987

ending the charges against the tariff ceiling opened, in the framework of generalized tariff preferences, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3599/85 in respect of other automatic data processing machines, falling within subheading 84.53 B of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Singapore

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3599/85 of 17 December 1985 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1986 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3599/85 suspension of customs duties in the context of preferential tariff ceilings is granted within the limits of the individual ceilings set out in column 9 of Annex I to that Regulation in respect of each of the categories of product under consideration; whereas as provided for in the second paragraph of Article 13 of the said Regulation, the Commission may, after 31 December 1986, take measures to stop quantities being charged against any particular prefential tariff limit if these limits were exceeded as a result of regularizations of imports actually made during the preferential tariff period;

Whereas, in respect of automatic data processing machines, falling within subheading 84.53 B of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Singapore, the individual ceiling was fixed at 13 140 000 ECU; whereas, on 3 March 1987, the sum of the quantities charged during the 1986 preferential tariff period and those charged after 31 December 1986 in respect of regularizations of imports made during the period under consideration has exceeded the ceiling in question;

Whereas it appears desirable to take measures to stop quantities being charged against the said ceiling in respect of Singapore,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
