COMMISSION DECISION of 19 December 1990 authorizing certain Member States to apply intra-Community surveillance to imports originating in third countries which have been put into free circulation in the Community and which may be the subject of protective measures under Article 115 of the Treaty (Only the Spanish, Danish, English, French, Italian and Portuguese texts are authentic) (91/18/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Decision 87/433/EEC of 22 July 1987, on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,

Whereas the abovementioned Decision requires Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of the imports concerned;

Whereas the Commission, by Decision of 21 December 1989 (2) and other relevant Decisions, authorized the Member States to introduce such surveillance;

Whereas almost all those Decisions are due to expire on 31 December 1990;

Whereas certain Member States have submitted applications to the Commission for authorization to extend the application of some of these surveillance measures and to introduce new surveillance for products not covered by the abovementioned Decisions;

Whereas the Commission has closely studied, on a case by case basis, these applications in accordance with the criteria laid down by Decision 87/433/EEC taking into account the plan of action established by the Community for the completion of the internal market;

Whereas the Commission examined, in particular whether information was given as regards the economic difficulties alleged and whether, during the reference years set out in Decision 87/433/EEC, significant imports have been realized in the Member States, originating in other Member States;

Whereas this examination has shown that the conditions for the application of surveillance measures in respect of the products listed in the Annexes hereto do exist;

Whereas, therefore, the Member States should be authorized to make them subject to intra-Community surveillance until 31 December 1991;

Whereas, for those imports not listed in the Annexes, Member States remain entitled to submit applications for surveillance, at a later date, depending on the economic situation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1

The Member States named in the annex are authorized, insofar as each is concerned, to apply, until 31 December 1991 and in accordance with Decision 87/433/EEC, intra-Community surveillance of the products listed in the said Annex. Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, Ireland, the Italian Republic, the Portuguese Republic, the United Kingdom.

Done at Brussels, 19 December 1990.
