Whereas the Community has held consultations with Morocco and Tunisia to try to stabilize imports of certain textile products originating in those countries in the interests of security of production and trade between the parties;

Whereas the information in question is to be secured by introducing retrospective Community surveillance of the imports concerned;

Whereas it is not necessary to extend surveillance to products being re-imported into the Community after outward processing provided they are accompanied by a form of prior authorization issued pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 636/82 of 16 March 1982 establishing outward processing arrangements applicable to certain textile and clothing products re-imported into the Community after working or processing in certain third countries (2),
