extending the periods of validity of Regulations (EEC) No 3044/79, (EEC) No 1782/80 and (EEC) No 2295/82 on Community surveillance of imports of certain textile products originating respectively in Malta, Egypt and Turkey

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the advisory committee set up by Article 5 of that Regulation,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79 (2), the period of validity of which was last extended by Regulation (EEC) No 3558/85 (3), makes imports of certain textile products originating in certain non-member countries subject to Community surveillance;

Whereas, by Regulations (EEC) No 3044/79 (4), (EEC) No 1782/80 (5) and (EEC) No 2295/82 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3581/82 (7), the Commission established Community surveillance of imports of certain textile products originating respectively in Malta, Spain, Portugal, Egypt and Turkey; whereas those Regulations expire on 31 December 1985, as regards Regulation (EEC) No 3552/84 (8);

Whereas the reasons that justified the introduction of the above Regulations are still valid; whereas the said Regulations should therefore be extended for an additional period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
