notification in one of the 
WTO official languages  The measure is introduced in order to monitor the dynamics of 
imports of certain types of steel pipes with certain characteristics

such characteristics a code classi fier has been developed for certain 
types of steel pipes for which automatic licensing (surveillance) is
