THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82 of 23 December 1982 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in third countries (1), and in particular Articles 9 and 11 thereof,

Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into the United Kingdom of certain textile products (category 2) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Indonesia have exceeded the level referred to in Article 11 (3) thereof;

Whereas, in accordance with Article 11 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82, Indonesia was notified on 1 October 1983 of a request for consultations;

Whereas, pending the outcome of the requested consultations, imports into the United Kingdom were made subject to a provisional quantitative limit for the period 1 October to 31 December 1983 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2768/83 of 30 September 1983 (2);

Whereas, in the course of consultations held between 16 and 18 November 1983, it was agreed that imports of the textile products in question should be subject to quantitative limits for 1984 until 1986; whereas it is appropriate that the provisional quantitative limit for 1983 be increased under Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82 by a special supplementary quantity;

Whereas Article 11 (13) provides for compliance with the quantitative limits to be ensured by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82;

Whereas the products in question exported from Indonesia between 1 October 1983 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limit for 1983;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, imports into the United Kingdom of the category of products originating in Indonesia and specified in the Annex hereto shall be subject to the quantitative limits set out in that Annex.

Article 2

1. Products as referred to in Article 1, shipped from Indonesia before the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2768/83 and not yet released for free circulation, shall be so released subject to the presentation of a bill of lading or other transport document proving that shipment actually took place before that date.

2. Imports of products shipped from Indonesia to the United Kingdom from the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2768/83 shall remain subject to the double-checking system described in Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82.

3. In applying the provisions of paragraph 2, all quantities of products shipped from Indonesia to the United Kingdom from 1 October 1983 and released for free circulation shall be deducted from the quantitative limit for 1983. This quantitative limit shall not, however, prevent the importation of products covered thereby but shipped from Indonesia before the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2768/83.

Article 3

Regulation (EEC) No 2768/83 is hereby repealed.

Article 4

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
