THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Brazil, the principal supplier of certain products falling within CN code 5607, has introduced a tax of 13 % on exported raw sisal;

Whereas it is appropriate in the present situation to have recourse to the said provisions;
Whereas concessions for certain products falling within CN Code 5607 should therefore be suspended and the customs duties applicable to these products increased; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1) as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 53/91 (2), should, as a result, be amended,
