Regulation (EU) 2019/998 amending Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products

Summary:

Council Regulation of 13 June 2019 updating the list of products in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013.

Further information:

Autonomous tariff quotas are needed for certain products when, in the Union, production is insufficient to meet the needs of the user industry. Union tariff quotas should be opened at zero or reduced duty rates for appropriate volumes, without disturbing the markets for such products.

The Council of the European Union adopted Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 so that the Union demand for the products in question could be met under the most favourable conditions. The Regulation is updated every six months to accommodate the needs of Union industry.
