EC Commission V. Ireland (Case 288/83) Re Imports of Cyprus Potatoes: E.C. Commission v. Ireland (Case 288/83) Before the Court of Justice of the European Communities ECJ (Presiding, Lord Mackenzie Stuart C.J.; Bosco, Due and Kakouris PP.C.; Pescatore, Koopmans, Everling, Bahlmann and Galmot JJ.) M. Marco Darmon Advocate General. 11 June 1985 Application under Article 169 EEC. Imports. Quantitative restrictions. Article 30 EEC prohibits, in trade between member-States, all public bans on imports and all other restrictive measures in the form of import licences or other similar procedures. [20] Constitutional law. Community law and national law. The E.C. Commission cannot, even by approving expressly or by implication a measure adopted unilaterally by a member-State and whether or not there has been prior consultation, confer on such State the right to maintain in force provisions which are objectively contrary to Community law. [22] Agriculture. Common organisation of markets. Inter-State trade. Agricultural products (in casu potatoes) in respect of which a common organisation of the market has not been established are subject to the general rules of the Common Market with regard to import, export and movement within the Community. A member-State may not, therefore, rely on the special rules of Article 39 et seq. to derogate from those rules in respect of such a product. [23] Imports. Free circulation. Articles 9, 10 and 30 EECapply without distinction to products originating in the member-States and to those coming from non-member countries and put into 'free circulation' within the Community. Once the latter have been duly imported into the Community they are definitively and wholly assimilated to products originating in member-States. [24] Criel (Donckerwolcke) v. Procureur de la Republique (41/76) : [1976] E.C.R. 1921, [1977] 2 C.M.L.R. 535, reaffirmed. Imports. Free circulation. Tariff quotas. *153 Once goods forming part of a Community tariff or import quota (even if the quota is more particularly intended for the market of a particular member-State) have been duly imported into the relevant member-State, they are assimilated to the products which are in free circulation in that State. They must therefore be freely importable into the other member-States without hindrance, unless an express provision to the contrary has been adopted by a competent institution of the Community. [25] Imports. Public policy. The public policy exception in Article 36 EEC to the free movement of goods may not be relied on by a member-State to protect its economic interests.

The Court held thatby requiring licences for the import of potatoes originating in non-member countries (in casu Cyprus) and which were in free circulation in another member-State (the United Kingdom) and by prohibiting such imports in the absence of a licence, Ireland was in breach of Article 30 EEC.

Gaz:118/78 TABULAR OR GRAPHIC MATERIAL SET FORTH AT THIS POINT IS NOT DISPLAYABLE Opinion of the Advocate General (M. Marco Darmon) 1 The action brought before the Court under Article 169 of the EEC Treaty by the Commission for a declaration that Ireland has failed to fulfil its obligations under the Treaty concerns the Community rules applicable to the circulation of new potatoes imported into the Community from Cyprus. Under an Association Agreement concluded in 1973 between the Republic of Cyprus and the European Community [FN1] the Republic of Cyprus benefited initially from annual tariff quotas, free of customs duties, in respect of imports of new potatoes into the United Kingdom, the annual tariff quota taking into account 'the traditional United Kingdom imports from Cyprus'. Later, potatoes originating in Cyprus and imported into the Community were admitted at reduced rates of duty under the Common Customs Tariff, by virtue of a supplementary Protocol laying down certain provisions relating to trade in agricultural products between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Cyprus. [FN2] FN1 [1973] O.J. L133/2. FN2 [1978] O.J. L172/3 and L172/11. It appears from the documents in the case that until the entry into force on 1 March 1980 of the Community plant health system, the consequences of that Association Agreement had not been felt on the Irish potato market because of the national rules applicable in the matter until then. According to the Irish Government, large quantities of new potatoes were imported into Ireland from the summer of 1980 onwards. Since, according to the Irish Government, the national market has always been self-sufficient, if not slightly in *155 surplus, the effect of the imports was to destabilise prices and to pose a serious threat to the income of the country's small potato growers. It was in that context that an order of the Minister for Agriculture entitled the Potatoes (Regulation of Import) Order (hereinafter referred to as 'the Order') entered into force in Ireland on 6 March 1981 and established a system of licences for the importation of potatoes into Ireland. Articles 3 and 4 of the Order read as follows: 3. This Order applies to potatoes which are raw, unprocessed and are produced in any country or territory other than a country which is a member- State of the European Economic Community. 4. The importation of potatoes to which this Order applies is hereby prohibited unless (a) such potatoes are imported under and in accordance with a licence granted by the Minister for the purposes of this Order, and (b) such licence is at the time of importation delivered to the proper officer of Customs and Excise. Following a complaint received in April 1982 from an Irish importer who had been refused an import licence for new potatoes originating in Cyprus, the Commission decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 169 of the EEC Treaty on the ground that Ireland was applying that provision not merely to potatoes directly imported into Ireland from non-member countries but also to those which had been in free circulation in another member-State before being imported into Ireland. On 1 August 1983, it formulated a reasoned opinion requesting Ireland to abolish the requirement that a licence be obtained for the importation of potatoes in free circulation in another member-State. In the statement of the reasons for its opinion, it reminded the Irish Government that it should apply to the Commission for an authorisation under Article 115 of the EEC Treaty to exclude potatoes originating in non-member countries from Community treatment and that the Commission would then verify whether the conditions for the grant of the authorisation were fulfilled. By a letter in reply to the reasoned opinion, dated 25 October 1983, Ireland maintained its standpoint, namely that the sole purpose of the Order was to give effect in Ireland to the true intention of the Community provisions. It also applied for retroactive authorisation under Article 115 in respect of the matters complained of. 2 Although it is clear from the context outlined above that the Order was promulgated for the purpose of alleviating the harmful effects on the Irish market of imports of potatoes originating in Cyprus, it is however above all from the point of view of the principles of Community law that the case must be considered. *156 It is clear just from reading Articles 3 and 4 of the Irish Ministerial Order of 6 March 1981that only potatoes produced in the member-States of the European Economic Community are excluded from the requirement to obtain a licence.

This will define some terms and clear up some preconceived notions before we proceed to more controversial issues. If you do not believe the tithe is commanded, and are giving through freewill, Spirit-led giving, this resource is written in support of your view of giving; but if you read this only gaining support for the tithing debate, then you will have missed greater intentions that the Spirit of God has. If you support tithing (a minimum requirement of 10%), this resource is not written in total support of your view, but if you feel that this resource will make attempts to excuse selfishness, greed, and disobedience, then you will have missed the greater intentions of giving written here. The challenge for all is to gain knowledge and experience of the greater call and higher guilt led by the Holy Spirit. Whether you give beyond the tithe with limitless offerings, or you give freely, you already exercise the tool used to define "Spirit-led giving". This book will challenge you to give sacrificially. First, let’s explain and compare two types of givers. 1. Cheerful tither - They follow the examples in scripture about tithing, while cheerfully and willingly committing themselves to give a 10% minimum.

  • New Experimental Electricity Tariff Systems for Household End Use
    Panel 2 - ID 54 - p1 Wols i n k New experimental electricity tariff systems for household end Use Ma a r ten Wol s i n k De p a r tment of Environmental Science, University of Amster da m Abstract A significant tool in Demand Side Management is the structure of tariffs. Price incentives can be directed at dif- ferent parts of the efficiency-concept: efficiency in capacity planning, efficiency in total electricity consumption, efficiency in total fossil fuel use, efficiency in total energy demand. The tariff system, which is currently used in the Netherlands, does not give proper price incentives for end-user efficiency. In particular total electricity demand is rather stimulated, which is somewhat dampened by the introduction of the eco-tax. In the Netherlands field experiments with tariff systems directed at influencing household electricity demand were carried out by five utilities. In the experiments differentiated tariff-variants were introduced, replacing the old tariff-system. The experiments included voluntary price differentiation, which introduced a free-rider prob- lem in combination with the chosen price levels. Furthermore remote-monitoring, feedback, special peak-pricing etc. were implemented in the experiments. Some interesting options, in particular those influencing total demand, were not implemented by utilities. The reasons for it should be categorized as ‘strategic’ and part of the utilities’ policy. 1. Reasons for tariff experimentation In 1989 the electricity sector in the Netherlands was reorganized. Part of it was the separation by law of produc- tion companies and distribution utilities. A series of changes in purchase-rates from producers in which flexibility and capacity-cost became more important urged utilities to pay more attention to load patterns.

  • Energy Pricing Policy in Iran Politika Određivanja Cijena
    Davood Manzoor Ministry of Energy Teheran, Iran HR9600065 ENERGY PRICING POLICY IN IRAN Abstract: Low energy prices in Iran do not reflect economic costs. Further distortions exist in the tariff structures of most energy sources and in their relative prices. Price reform is a key policy element for achieving increased energy conservation and economic substitution. Subsidies should be made transparent and explained by the Government, and, when eliminated, they could be compensated by target measures or direct subsidies for low income households. Price reforms are under way, with some caution though, because of possible political and inflationary consequences. In order to better understand the need for price reforms a brief analysis of the current energy pricing policy is provided here. POLITIKA ODREĐIVANJA CIJENA ENERGENATA U IRANU Sažetak: Niske cijene energije u Iranu ne odražavaju stvarne njene troškove. Nadalje, postoje deformacije u tarifnoj strukturi za većinu energetskih izvora, kao i u njihovim relativnim cijenama. Reforma cijena je ključni element politike usmjeren na postizanje boljeg čuvanja energije i gospodarske zamjene. Vlada treba u potpunosti predstaviti i objasniti subvencije, a nakon što ih ukine treba ih nadomjestiti ciljanim mjerama ili izravnim subvencijama za kućanstva s niskim prihodima. Reforme cijena su u tijeku, premda uz veliki oprez zbog mogućih političkih i posljedica inflacije. Da bi se bolje razumjela potreba za reformom cijena, ovdje se daje kratka analiza sadašnje politike njihovog određivanja. 1. The price Fixing Procedures in Iran Proposals for tariff increases are submitted to the Plan and Budget Organization (PBO) by the Ministry of Energy (MOE) for electricity and by the Ministry of Petroleum for oil products and natural gas.

  • The Environmental Bias of Trade Policy∗
    The Environmental Bias of Trade Policy∗ Joseph S. Shapiro UC Berkeley and NBER [email protected] May 2019 Abstract This paper documents a new fact, then analyzes its causes and consequences: in most countries, import tariffs and non-tariff barriers are substantially lower on dirty than on clean industries, where an industry's \dirtiness" is defined as its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per dollar of output. This difference in trade policy creates a global implicit subsidy to CO2 emissions in internationally traded goods and so contributes to climate change. This global implicit subsidy to CO2 emissions totals several hundred billion dollars annually. The greater protection of downstream industries, which are relatively clean, substantially accounts for this pattern. The downstream pattern can be explained by theories where industries lobby for low tariffs on their inputs but final consumers are poorly organized. A quantitative general equilibrium model suggests that if countries applied similar trade policies to clean and dirty goods, global CO2 emissions would decrease by several percent annually, and global real income would not change.

  • Free Trade Taxation and Protectionist Taxation
    POLICY WATCH Much of the interest in public economics and public finance comes from the interaction of theory and real world experience. Each needs the other: good theory when related in an understandable way to policy issues can be invaluable in helping policymakers and policy analysts better understand what they are doing, while thoughtfully explored experience can be the source of rich series of puzzles for theorists. Both theorists and those involved more directly in the formulation of public policy thus have much to gain by talking to each other in meaningful ways. The aim of Policy Watch is to provide a forum within which such discussion can take place. The ambit of Policy Watch thus includes both papers discussing in a rigorous (but not technical) way interesting current policy issues and practices--matters which are impor- tant in the real world even if not yet reflected very clearly in the theoretical literature--and papers expositing recent theoretical and empirical results in a policy-relevant fashion. Papers are of course subject to the normal refereeing procedures of the journal, which may be expedited to preserve topicality. The editors on occasion may solicit survey or review ar- ticles, and welcome suggestions as to suitable topics. We believe that many academic researchers in this field are keen to make their research as accessible as possible to policymakers, and many policy economists are equally interested in making their more theoretical colleagues aware of policy priorities. Policy Watch is in- tended as a place for them to meet. International Tax and Public Finance, 2:471-489 (1995) 1995 Kluwer Academic Publishers Free Trade Taxation and Protectionist Taxation JOEL B.

  • Overview of the Key Benefits of the Foreign-Trade Zone Program
    Overview of the Key Benefits of the Foreign-Trade Zone Program U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones are considered outside of U.S. commerce for Customs purposes. This enables companies to defer duty payments on merchandise until it is entered into U.S. commerce. If the merchandise is subsequently re-exported from the FTZ, no Customs entry is filed, and no duty paid on the merchandise. The U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones program offers substantial advantages to U.S.-based manufacturers and distributors, many of which are not available under free trade zone regimes abroad. In general, merchandise in a zone may be: assembled, exhibited, cleaned, manipulated, manufactured, mixed, processed, relabeled, repackaged, repaired, salvaged, sampled, stored, tested, displayed, and destroyed. Some of the benefits that are most attractive to companies are relief from inverted tariffs, duty exemption on re-exports, duty elimination on waste, scrap and yield loss, savings on damaged or nonconforming items, weekly entry savings, cash flow (duty deferral) savings, zone-to-zone transfers, government and military sales, and ad valorem tax relief. Companies often find that the integration of a variety of FTZ benefits and procedures enables them to maximize their savings and minimize their operational costs at each point in their FTZ distribution or manufacturing processes. Relief From Inverted Tariff When Manufacturing in a Foreign-Trade Zone or SubZone Inverted Tariff Relief Inverted tariff (duty rate) relationships penalize companies for making their product in the United States. The U.S. FTZ program enables companies to apply to the FTZ Board for the authority to obtain relief from inverted tariffs when a component item or raw material is subject to a higher duty rate than the finished product.
