Whereas paragraph 13 of the said Article 11 provides for compliance with the quantitative limit to be ensured by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82;

Whereas the products in question exported from Thailand to Ireland between 4 July 1983 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limit which has been introduced;
