COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2422/87

of 7 August 1987

on arrangements for imports into Germany, Italy and the Benelux of certain textile products (category 2) originating in Indonesia

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 of 22 December 1986 on common rules for imports of certain products originating in third countries (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into the Community of certain textile products (category 2) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Indonesia have exceeded the level erferred to in paragraph 2 of the said Article 11;

Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 on 23 June 1987 Indonesia was notified of a request for consultations; whereas, pending a mutually satisfactory solution, imports into France of products falling within category 2 are already submitted to a provisional quantitative restriction for the period 23 June to 22 September 1987 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2122/87 (2);

Whereas in the meantime the situation in the Community market has deteriorated further, particularly in the Community's regions of Germany, Italy and the Benelux; whereas in these circumstances and pending the outcome of the consultations the Commission on 7 August 1987 requested Indonesia to limit provisionally its exports to Germany, Italy and the Benelux of products falling within category 2 for the period 7 August to 22 September 1987;

Whereas pending the outcome of the requested consultations quantitative limits identical to those requested of the supplier country should be applied provisionally to imports of the category of products in question;

Whereas paragraph 13 of the said Article 11 ensures that the quantitative limits are observed by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI to Regultion (EEC) No 4136/86;

Whereas the products in question exported fom Indonesia to Germany, Italy and the Benelux between 7 August 1987 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limit which has been introduced;

Whereas this quantitative limit should not prevent the importation of products covered by them shipped from Indonesia before the date of entry into force of this Regulation;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Products as referred to in Article 1 shipped from Indonesia to Germany, Italy and the Benelux before the date of entry into force of this Regulation 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 during that period.

2. Imports of products shipped from Indonesia to Germany, Italy and the Benelux after the entry into force of this Regulation shall be subject to the double-checking system described in Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86.
