COMMISSION DECISION of 18 December 1991 authorizing certain Member States to apply intra-Communit 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 pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty (Only the Spanish, English, French, Italian and Portuguese texts are authentic) (92/15/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 (1) 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, and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,

Whereas Decision 87/433/EEC requires Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of the imports concerned;

Whereas the Commission, by Decision 91/18/EEC (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 1991;

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 measures 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 as from 1 January 1993;

Whereas these criteria must be applied strictly due to the imminence of this date and to the exception nature of intra-Community surveillance measures with regard to the principle of the free movement of goods;

Whereas the authorization to introduce intra-Community surveillance measures should be restricted to a limited number of cases where there is a real risk of extensive deflection of trade which could lead to serious difficulties in the sectors concerned;

Whereas, under these circumstances, the Member States should be authorized to make subject to intra-Community surveillance imports of the products listed in the Annex until 30 June 1992,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Member States named in the Annex are authorized, in so far as each is concerned, to apply, until 30 June 1992 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 Spain, the French Republic, Ireland, the Italian Republic, the Portugese Republic and the United Kingdom. Done at Brussels, 18 December 1991. For the Commission
