THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Articles 2 to 5, 8, 71 and 74 thereof,

Having regard to High Authority Recommendation No 1-64 of 15 January 1964 to the Governments of the Member States concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (1), as last amended by Recommendation 81/772/ECSC (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas Denmark has shown the existence of exceptional and temporary difficulties in supplying its transforming industry on the Community market with special sheet for the manufacture of preserved-food cans; whereas such difficulties should have disappeared by the end of 1987;

Whereas the Danish Government has accordingly requested the Commission to authorize from 1 January to 31 December 1987 duty-free imports from third countries of the required amount of special sheet needed;

Whereas this exceptional importation is justified for the reasons of commercial policy provided for in Article 3 of the said Recommendation No 1-64; whereas the Commission may therefore grant a derogation from the said Recommendation;

Whereas the Governments of the Member States have been consulted on the abovementioned request,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Denmark is hereby authorized to derogate from the obligations under Article 1 of Recommendation No 1-64 to the extent necessary to import duty-free from third countries 3 000 tonnes of cold-rolled non-alloyed steel plate of a thickness of less than 0,5 mm, electrolytically plated or coated on both sides with a layer of not more than 0,05 micrometres of metallic chromium of not less than 70 mg/m2 but not more than 130 mg/m2 and of chromium oxide containing not less than 10 mg/m2 but not more than 25 mg/m2 chromium.

This Decision shall be valid from 1 January to 31 December 1987.

Article 4

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to Council Decision 86/283/EEC of 30 June 1986 on the accession of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 77 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,

Whereas Article 6 of Annex II to Decision 86/283/EEC provides that the Community may, where necessary, revise the amounts for determining when forms EUR 2 may be used instead of movement certificates EUR 1 or when no documentary evidence of origin is required as laid down in Article 16 of that Annex;

Whereas as a consequence of the automatic change, which takes place every two years, of the base date provided for in the said Annex II, the effective value of the limits expressed in the national currencies concerned, which correspond to the amounts laid down in Articles 6 and 16 of the said Annex, would be reduced; whereas in order to offset such a reduction it is necessary to increase the amounts in question,

Annex II to Decision 86/283/EEC is hereby amended as follows:

- the amount laid down in Article 6 (1) (b) is hereby increased to 2 590 ECU;

COMMISSION DECISION

derogating from High Authority recommendation No 1-64 on tariff protection in order to enable the generalized tariff preferences to be applied to certain iron and steel products originating in the developing countries

(130th derogation)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to High Authority recommendation No 1-64 of 15 January 1964 to the Governments of the Member States concerning the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (1), as last amended by recommendation 81/772/ECSC (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas, for a number of years, the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community meeting within the Council have granted non-member countries covered by the generalized preferences scheme tariff advantages in respect of imports into the Community of certain ECSC iron and steel products in the form of total tariff suspensions without quantitative limits for certain types of product or total tariff suspensions within the limits of quotas either fixed or to be calculated for other types of product;

Whereas the Commission is involved in the negotiation of such concessions and in the decisions of the representatives of the Governments implementing them; whereas the decisions in question are taken with the Commission's full agreement;

Whereas such concessions are covered by Article 3 of High Authority recommendation No 1-64, under which the Commission, after consulting the Member States, can for reasons of commercial policy derogate from the tariff obligations laid down by the recommendation;

Whereas the most recent decision of the Member States establishing tariff concessions was adopted, with the Commission's agreement, on 16 December 1986 (3) and meets the requirements laid down in Article 3 of the recommendation for the granting of a derogation; that as a consequence it is appropriate to grant the derogation for the concessions in question;

Whereas the Member States have been consulted on the draft of this Decision,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Member States are hereby authorized to derogate from obligations arising under Article 1 of High Authority recommendation No 1-64 to the extent necessary to apply, on imports from non-member countries of iron and steel products covered by the ECSC Treaty, the duty suspensions resulting from the Decision of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community of 16 December 1986.
