COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1220/88

of 4 May 1988

on the opening of supplementary quotas for imports into the Community of certain textile products originating in Yugoslavia for the 1988 Berlin Trade Fairs

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86 of 22 December 1986 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in Yugoslavia (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 669/88 (2), and in particular Article 9 (3) thereof,

Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86, the importation of textile products originating in Yugoslavia was made subject to quantitative limitation and allocation among the Member States and to common rules for authorization;

Whereas trade fairs are to be held, as in previous years, in Berlin in 1988, at which Yugoslavia among other exporting countries is expected to participate; whereas the existing shares of Community quotas allocated to the Federal Republic of Germany may again be insufficient to meet the requirements of the trade fairs;

Whereas it is therefore necessary to open supplementary quotas for the Berlin Trade Fairs and to allocate these to the Federal Republic of Germany;

Whereas it is desirable that import authorizations should be issued in accordance with the requirements on origin specified in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee - Yugoslavia set up by Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 2

1. The authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany shall authorize imports, not exceeding the supplementary quotas referred to in Article 1, only in respect of such contracts signed in Berlin during the Berlin Trade Fair as are recognized by those authorities as being eligible, provided that products covered by such approved contracts are placed on board for exportation to the Federal Republic of Germany in Yugoslavia after 15 October 1988.

2. The period of validity of import authorizations or equivalent documents issued in accordance with paragraph 1 shall not extend beyond 31 December 1989.
