COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2651/83

of 20 September 1983

on arrangements for imports into France of certain textile products originating in Romania

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82 of 23 December 1982 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in third countries (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into France of certain textile products (category 29) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Romania have exceeded the level referred to in paragraph 3 of the said Article 11;

Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82, on 12 September 1983 Romania was notified of a request for consultations; whereas, pending a mutually satisfactory solution, the Commission has requested Romania to limit exports to France of products falling within category 29 to 7 000 pieces with effect from the date of notification of the request for consultations; whereas, pending the outcome of the requested consultations, quantitative limits identical to those requested of the supplier country should be applied provisionally to imports of the category of products in question;

Whereas paragraph 13 of the said Article 11 ensures that the quantitative limit is observed 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 Romania between 12 September 1983 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limit which have been introduced;

Whereas this quantitative limit should not prevent the importation of products covered by it shipped from Romania before the date of entry into force of this Regulation;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, imports into France of the category of products originating in Romania and specified in the Annex hereto shall be subject to the provisional quantitative limit set out in that Annex.

Article 2

1. Products as referred to in Article 1, shipped from Romania to France before the date of entry into force of this Regulation and not yet released for free circulation, shall be so released subject to the presentation of a bill of lading or other transport document proving that shipment actually took place during that period.

2. Imports of products shipped from Romania to France after the entry into force of this Regulation shall be subject to the double-checking system described in Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82.

3. All quantities of products shipped from Romania on or after 12 September 1983 and released for free circulation shall be deducted from the quantitative limit laid down. This provisional limit shall not, however, prevent the importation of products covered by it but shipped from Romania before the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply until the entry into force of a Regulation establishing definitive quantitative limits following the current consultations.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
