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), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3350/91 (2), 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 3) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Pakistan have exceeded the level referred to in Article 11 (2);

Whereas imports of these products into France, Italy and Spain are already subject to regional quantitative limits for the years 1987 to 1991 by Regulations (EEC) No 2955/87 (3) and (EEC) No 2441/89 (4);

Whereas, in accordance with Article 11 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86, on 18 September 1991 Pakistan was notified of a request for consultations;

Whereas, pending a mutually satisfactory solution, the imports into Germany, Benelux, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Greece and Portugal of products falling within category 3 have been subjected to provisional limits for the period 18 September to 17 December 1991 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2994/91 (5);

Whereas, as a result of consultations held on 15 December 1991 it was agreed to submit the textile products of category 3 to a quantitative limit for the period 18 September to 31 December 1991;

Whereas Article 11 (13) ensures that the quantitative limits are observed 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 Pakistan between 18 September and 17 December 1991 must be imputed to the quantitative limits introduced for the period 18 September to 31 December 1991;

Whereas these quantitative limits should not prevent the importation of products covered by them shipped from Pakistan before the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2994/91;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
