27. 7. 90 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 197/1 I (Acts whose publication is obligatory) COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2152/90 of 23 July 1990 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain chemical and industrial products THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in. particular Article 28 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas - production in the Community of certain vanadiumoxydes and hydroxydes, of certain colour catho- de-ray tubes and of a chemical product is currently unable to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of proucts of this type currently depend to a considerable extent on imports from third countries; whereas the most urgent Community requirements for the products in question should be met immediately on the most favourable terms; whereas zero duty Commu- nity tariff quotas should therefore be opened within the limits of appropriate volumes for a period up to 31 December 1990, taking account of the need not to disturb the market for such products nor the starting out or deve- lopment of Community production ; whereas the volumes - kept for the colour cathode-ray tubes could be adjusted in the course of the exercise according to real needs that have been noted ; Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all - Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted applica- tion of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up; Whereas, it is appropriate to take the necessary measures to ensure efficient Community administration of these tariff quotas while offering the Member States the oppor- tunity to draw. from the quota volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports ; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly; Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning the administration of the quantities drawn by that economic union may be carried out by any of its members, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :. Article 1 1.  From the date of entry into force of this Regulation until 31 "December 1990, the duties applicable to imports into the Community of the products listed below shall be suspended at the levels and -within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below.
