THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of textile products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular the third paragraph of Article 12 thereof, extended for 1993 by Regulation (EC) No 3668/93 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 suspension of customs duties in the context of preferential tariff ceilings is granted within the time limits of the individual ceilings set out in column 8 of Annex I to that Regulation in respect of each of the categories of product under consideration; whereas as provided for in the third paragraph of Article 12 of the said Regulation, the Commission may, after 31 December 1993, take measures to stop quantities being charged against any particular preferential tariff limit if these limits were exceeded particularly as a result of regularizations of imports actually made during the preferential tariff period;
Whereas, in respect of the products of the order Nos, categories and origins indicated in the table below, the relevant ceilings were fixed at the levels indicated in that table:
"" ID="1">40.0090> ID="2">9> ID="3">Sri Lanka> ID="4">131,000 tonnes"> ID="1">40.0160> ID="2">16> ID="3">Indonesia> ID="4">99 000 pieces"> ID="1">40.0230> ID="2">23> ID="3">Thailand> ID="4">308,000 tonnes"> ID="1">40.0650> ID="2">65> ID="3">Brazil> ID="4">166,000 tonnes"> ID="1">42.1590> ID="2">159> ID="3">India> ID="4">39,000 tonnes">
Whereas on 1 January 1994, the sum of the quantities charged during the 1993 preferential period has exceeded the ceilings in question;
