COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2820/87

of 21 September 1987

on arrangements for imports into the Community of certain textile products (category 2) originating in Indonesia

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 of 22 December 1986 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in third countries (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into the Community of certain textile products (category 2) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Indonesia have exceeded the level referred to in paragraph 2 of the said Article 11;

Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86, on 23 June 1987 Indonesia was notified of a request for consultations;

Whereas, pending a mutually satisfactory solution, imports into France were made subject to provisional quantitative restrictions for the period from 23 June to 22 September 1987 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2122/87 (2), and imports into the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy and the Benelux were made subject to provisional quantitative restrictions for the period from 7 August to 22 September 1987 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2422/87 (3);

Whereas in consultations held on 10 to 12 September 1987 it was agreed that imports of textile products falling within category 2 should be subject to quantitative limits for the period 23 June to 31 December 1987 in the case of France, for the period 7 August to 31 December 1987 in the case of Germany, Italy and the Benelux, for the period 12 September to 31 December 1987 in the case of Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Spain and Portugal and it was also agreed that imports into the Community should be subject to quantitative limits for the years 1988 to 1991;

Whereas imports of these products into the United Kingdom were already subject to a regional limitation from 1987 to 1991 pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86;

Whereas paragraph 13 of the said Article 11 provides for compliance with the quantitative limits to be ensured by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86;

Whereas the products in question exported from Indonesia to France between 23 June and the date of entry into force of this Regulation, to Germany, Italy and the Benelux between 7 August and the date of entry into force of this Regulation and to Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Spain and Portugal between 12 September and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limits introduced for the relevant periods in 1987;

Whereas these quantitative limits do not prevent the importation of products covered thereby but shipped from Indonesia to France before the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2122/87, to Germany, Italy and the Benelux before the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2422/87, and to Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Spain and Portugal before the entry into force of this Regulation;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
