amending Regulation (EC) No 76/2002 introducing prior Commu-
nity surveillance of imports of certain iron and steel productscovered by the ECSC and EC Treaties originating in certain third
countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3285/94 of 22 December
1994 on common rules for imports and repealing Regulation (EC) No
518/94(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2474/2000(2), and
in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March1994
on common rules for imports from certain third countries and repealingRegulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No3420/83(
3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1138/98(4), and
in particular Article 9(1) thereof,
Consultations having taken place within the committees set up under
the Regulations referred to above,
Whereas:
(1)On 20 March2002, th e United States of America introduced a
‘Section 201’ safeguard in the shape of tariff quotas and addi-tional duties ranging from 8 % to 30 % ad valorem on various
categories of steel products. These severe American restrictionsthreaten to deflect a large amount of such products away fromthe United States of America and onto the Community market
and thus to harm Community producers.
(2)Commission Regulation (EC) No 560/2002(5), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1287/2002(6), imposed provisional safe-
guard measures against imports of fifteen categories of steel
products, after the Commission had noted a considerable
increase in these imports over the period 1998 to 2001 and hadmade a preliminary determination that there was clear evidencethat this increase in imports, at low prices, threatened to damageCommunity producers. The Commission also concluded that theincreased imports were being caused by trade deflection
resulting from the increasingly protectionist stance of the United
States of America. Furthermore, the Commission is currentlyconducting a ‘safeguard’ inquiry into the products covered bythese provisional measures and six other categories of products.
(3)External trade statistics for the Community are not availablewithin the time limits laid down by Commission Regulation(EC) No 1917/2000 of 7 September 2000 laying down certainprovisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC)No 1172/95 as regards statistics on external trade(
7), as amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1669/2001(8).
(4)Commission Regulation (EC) No 76/2002(9) introduced prior
Community surveillance of imports of certain iron and steelproducts covered by the ECSC and EC Treaties. The productscovered by the Regulation do not correspond exactly to thosecovered by the United States of America safeguard measures.2002R1337 — EN — 01.08.2002 — 000.001 — 2

Furthermore, the Regulation does not apply to imports origi-
nating in countries belonging to the European Free TradeAssociation (EFTA), in countries party to the Agreement on the
European Economic Area (EEA) or in Turkey. It is apparent that
there is a need for statistics to enable rapid analysis of importtrends for all iron and steel products liable to be deflected ontothe Community market in the wake of the United States ofAmerica measures referred to above, irrespective of their
geographic origin.
(5)The scope of prior surveillance must therefore be extended in
terms of both the products covered and geographic origin.
(6)Regulation (EC) No 76/2002 must be amended accordingly,
