of 19 October 1999

reintroducing normal customs duties on certain flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, for which a tariff ceiling was opened by Regulation (EC) No 273/98

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 77/98 of 9 January 1998 on certain procedures for applying the Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia(1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 273/98 of 2 February 1998 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas and tariff ceilings and establishing a Community surveillance of reference quantities for certain products originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia(2), provides in its Article 2 an exemption from customs duties in the framework of tariff ceilings for the products listed in its Annex B.

(2) Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 77/98 provides that the Commission may, as soon as a tariff ceiling is reached, adopt a regulation reintroducing, until the end of the calendar year, the customs duties applicable to third countries in respect of imports of the products concerned.

(3) The Community surveillance provided by Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 273/98 has shown that preferential imports of products in the framework of the tariff ceilings with order Nos 25.0210 and 25.0230 have exceeded these ceilings.

(4) This situation is liable to cause serious damage to the Community sector concerned and requires the reintroduction of normal customs duties.

(5) The levying of normal customs duties for these products should therefore be reintroduced,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

From 23 October until 31 December 1999, the levying of normal customs duties shall be reintroduced on imports into the Community of products listed in the Annex and originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, for which a tariff ceiling was opened by Regulation (EC) No 273/98.

(3) a further examination has shown that the list of geographical areas contained in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2385/91 should be extended;

(4) the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
