COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1723/2006
of 20 November 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 379/2004 as regards the increase of the volumes of tariff quotas for certain fishery products for the year 2006
(Text with EEA relevance)
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)
To ensure an adequate supply of certain fishery products to the Community processing industries, autonomous Community tariff quotas have been laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 379/2004 of 24 February 2004 opening and providing for the management of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products for the period 2004 to 2006 (1).
(2)
The processing industries in some Member States are facing serious difficulties in securing for themselves sufficient Community supplies of certain fishery products. In order to overcome the shortage of raw materials, the industry is using substitute products originating from third countries.
(3)
It is therefore appropriate to increase the volumes of tariff quotas for certain products laid down in Regulation (EC) No 379/2004 for the period from 1 January to 31 December 2006.
(4)
Regulation (EC) No 379/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly,
