COMMISSION DECISION No 3081/83/ECSC

of 27 October 1983

on the establishment and allocation among Member States of the quantitative limits for steel exports from the Community to the United States of America

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,

Having regard to Commission Decision No 2872/82/ECSC of 28 October 1982 on the restriction of exports of certain steel products to the United States of America (1), as last amended by Decision No 2626/83/ECSC (2), and in particular Articles 2 and 3 (1) thereof,

Whereas Articles 2 and 3 (1) of Decision No 2872/82/ECSC provide in particular that the Commission is to calculate Community export limits per product category for the initial period, to adjust them to take account of revisions of the United States' apparent consumption and to allocate them in accordance with Annex III to that Decision;

Whereas, as provided for in the Arrangement concluded with the United States on 21 October 1982 (3), the United States' apparent consumption for the initial period was revised in October 1983; whereas the Community limits and the allocation thereof should therefore be adapted, taking account of the 1 % deduction for each category already allocated to the Community reserve provided for in Decision No 2872/82/ECSC,
