DECISION No 21-66 of 16 November 1966 requiring undertakings in the steel industry to make returns of invoiced prices for deliveries of steel products

THE HIGH AUTHORITY,

Having regard to Article 47 of the Treaty;

Whereas the Community steel market has for some time been in a state of surplus which is forcing producers to make substantial price concessions, with the result that the undertakings' revenues are declining steadily ; whereas the High Authority needs therefore to have an overall picture of the tonnages sold by undertakings and the prices charged therefor;

Whereas to this end it is necessary that undertakings in the steel industry should be required to submit regular returns of their deliveries and prices ; whereas such returns should be based on undertakings' price lists but the rules as regards prices allow undertakings to depart in certain cases from their list prices ; whereas, therefore, the returns must show the tonnages and prices for certain transactions separately ; whereas this applies in particular to sales by alignment on the price lists of other Community undertakings, to sales by alignment on the terms of undertakings outside the Community, and to sales of substandard products and seconds ; whereas, in order to provide full information, returns must also include tonnages delivered by undertakings to third countries;

Whereas the High Authority will indicate in a later Decision the date from which returns will be required, so that undertakings can make arrangements accordingly;

DECIDES:
