THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3588/82 of 23 December 1982 on rules for imports of certain textile products originating in Yugoslavia (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 194/84 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3588/82 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into the United Kingdom of textile products of category 17 specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Yugoslavia exceeded the levels referred to in Article 10 (3) thereof;

Whereas, in accordance with Article 10 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3588/82, Yugoslavia was notified on 23 December 1983 of requests for consultations;

Whereas, as a result of these consultations, it was agreed to make the textile products in question subject to quantitative limits for the years 1984 to 1986;

Whereas Article 10 (13) provides for compliance with the quantitative limits to be ensured by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 3588/82;

Whereas the products in question exported from Yugoslavia between 1 January 1984 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limit for the year 1984;

Whereas this quantitative limit should not prevent the importation of products covered by it shipped from Yugoslavia 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 the United Kingdom of the category of products originating in Yugoslavia and specified in the Annex hereto shall be subject to the quantitative limits set out in that Annex.

Article 2

1. Products as referred to in Article 1, shipped from Yugoslavia to the United Kingdom 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 before that date.

2. Imports of such products shipped from Yugoslavia to the United Kingdom after the entry into force of this Regulation shall be subject to the double-checking system described in Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 3588/82.

3. All quantities of products shipped from Yugoslavia to the United Kingdom on or after 1 January 1984 and released for free circulation, shall be deducted from the quantitative limit laid down. This limit shall not, however, prevent the importation of products covered by it but shipped from Yugoslavia 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 31 December 1986.
