COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1530/89

of 31 May 1989

applying retrospective temporary Community surveillance to the importation of certain products originating in Japan

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), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1243/88 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

After consultation within the Committee set up under the abovementioned Regulation,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3429/88 of 3 November 1988 extending the period of validity of Regulation (EEC) No 1245/87 introducing temporary Community surveillance prior to importation of certain products originating in Japan (3) expired on 5 May 1989;

Whereas the temporary measures decided on by the Government of the United States of America on 17 April 1987 which gave rise to the introduction of Community surveillance are still partially applicable;

Whereas it is accordingly appropriate to continue to monitor the trend of imports into the Community of the products concerned by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1245/87 (4); whereas it is enough to know the amount of imports effectively realized; whereas a retrospective Community surveillance is therefore to be established under the procedures laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 288/82,
