Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82 lays down the conditions in which adjustments may be made to the quantitative limits referred to in Article 3 where, following inquiries carried out it is shown that products originating in a supplier country listed in Annex II and subject to the quantitative limits referred to have been transhipped, re-routed or otherwise imported into the Community through circumvention of such quantitative limits;
Whereas inquiries carried out have shown certain products in category 1 (cotton yarn) originating in Brazil to have been imported into Germany under false certificates of origin;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82, Brazil was notified of requests for consultations on 27 February, 8 April, 15 July and 17 October 1986;

Whereas this measure will make it possible to re-establish advance fixing of export licences for the products in question which was suspended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1488/86 (7);
