THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90, duties on certain products originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III shall be totally suspended for 1992, and the products as such shall, as a general rule, be subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 8;

Whereas, as provided for in Article 8, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be re-restablished once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to beconsidered shall be, as a general rule, equal to 6,615 % of the total importations into the Community, originating from third countries in 1988;

Whereas, in the case of products, originating falling within CN code 2523, originating in Romania, the reference base is fixed at ECU 7 837 000; whereas, on 26 May 1992, imports of these products into the Community originating in Romania, reached the reference base in question after being charged there-against; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the reference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties in respect of the products in question must be re-established against Romania,
