of 17 July 1987
on arrangements for imports into France of certain textile products (category 2) originating in Indonesia
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 of 22 December 1986 on common rules for imports of certain products originating in third countries (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into the Community of certain textile products (category 2) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Indonesia have exceeded the level referred to in paragraph 2 of the said Article 11;
Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 on 23 June 1987 Indonesia was notified of a request for consultations; whereas, pending a mutually satisfactory solution, the Commission has requested Indonesia for a provisional period of three months to limit exports to France of products falling within category 2 to 472 tonnes with effect from the date of notification of the request for consultations; whereas pending the outcome of the requested consultations a quantitative limit identical to that requested of the supplier country should be applied provisionally to imports of the category of products in question;
Whereas paragraph 13 of the said Article 11 ensures that the quantitative limits are observed by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86;
Whereas the products in question exported from Indonesia to France between 23 June 1987 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limit which has been introduced;
Whereas this quantitative limit should not prevent the importation of products covered by them shipped from Indonesia before the date of entry into force of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
