Article 3

Customs authorities are hereby directed to discontinue the registration of imports established in accordance with Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/548 of 29 March 2021 making imports of optical fibre cables originating in the People’s Republic of China subject to registration.
