COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1934/82

of 12 July 1982

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 establishing common rules for exports

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to the instruments establishing common organization of agricultural markets and to the instruments concerning processed agricultural products adopted in pursuance of Article 235 of the Treaty, in particular the provisions of those instruments which allow for derogation from the general principle that quantitative restrictions or measures having equivalent effect may be replaced solely by the measures provided for in those same instruments,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 (1), the exportation of products from the Community to third countries is free, that is to say, not subject to any quantitative restriction, with the exception of those restrictions which are applied in conformity with the provisions of that Regulation and are listed in the Annex thereto;

Whereas, since the adoption of that Regulation, a number of Member States have abolished the restrictions which they applied to exports of certain products set out in the said Annex;

Whereas this trend towards greater liberalization of exports should be taken into account by updating the said Regulation;

Whereas it should also be specified more clearly that the restrictions maintained in force under Articles 1 and 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 are applied only by the Member States indicated in respect of the products listed in the Annex, with the exception of certain products of the energy sector which it seems advisable for all Member States to exclude from the liberalization of exports at Community level in view in particular of the international commitments entered into by certain Member States;

Whereas, moreover, products traditionally subject to quota restrictions in Greece whose unlimited export could, because of the decline in domestic production and the difference between prices in Greece and on the world market, cause serious supply difficulties for the processing industries in Greece, should be added to the list of goods to which Member States apply export restrictions,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 is hereby replaced by the following:

'Article 10

Until the Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, has introduced common rules in respect of the products listed in the Annex to this Regulation, the principle of freedom of export from the Community as laid down in Article 1 shall not apply to those products for the Member States mentioned in the Annex or to the following products for all Member States:

27.09 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude

27.10 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing not less than 70 % by weight of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations:

A Light oils

B Medium oils

ex C Heavy oils except lubricating oils used in clocks and watches and the like presented in small receptacles containing not more than 250 g net of oil

27.11 Petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons:

A Propane of a purity not less than 99 %

B Other:

I Commercial propane and commercial butane'

Article 2

The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2603/69 shall be replaced by the Annex hereto.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 12 July 1982.

For the Council

The President

I. NOERGAARD
