(86/157/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1) as last amended by Directive 83/91/EEC (2), and in particular the last sentence of Article 3 (1) thereof,

Whereas Council Decision 79/542/EEC (3) drew up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorize imports of bovine animals, swine and fresh meat taking particular account of the criteria listed in Article 3 (2) of Directive 72/462/EEC;

Whereas these criteria include the environmental health situation in the exporting third country and the dangers that this situation presents to public and animal health in the Member States;

Whereas as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station and of the radioactive fall-out that has occurred in the area closest to the power station and in certain neighbouring countries, there is a danger that animals and meat may be contaminated; whereas, therefore, imports from countries likely to be affected as a result of the accident owing to their proximity to the power station should be suspended; whereas, for this purpose, the inclusion of certain countries on the list laid down in the Annex to Decision 79/542/EEC should be suspended;

Whereas it will be necessary to re-examine by 31 May 1986 the need to maintain or withdraw the suspension in question in the light of available information on contamination with radioactive elements in the third countries in question;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Inclusion on the list set out in the Annex to Decision 79/542/EEC shall be suspended for the following countries: Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.

Article 2

Without prejudice to Community provisions that may be adopted at a later date, this Decision shall not affect the maintenance of national import bans or suspensions adopted pursuant to Article 16 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/82 (4), Article 21 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 (5) and to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 (6) in respect of products from third States not covered by this Decision.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 2 April 1986

establishing the delivery levels of ECSC steel products of Spanish origin onto the rest of the common market, excluding Portugal

(Only the Spanish text is authentic)

(86/184/ECSC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Protocol 10 thereof,

Having received the assent of the Council,

Whereas Protocol 10, which covers the restructuring of the Spanish iron and steel industry, and the Joint Declaration on the Spanish iron and steel industry provide that deliveries of ECSC steel products of Spanish origin onto the Community market will be the subject of quantitative limits in 1986;

Whereas, at the date of accession, there was no agreement between the Commission and the Spanish Government on the level of these aforementioned deliveries;

Whereas pursuant to the first subparagraph of paragraph 6 (a) of Protocol 10, it falls upon the Commission, with the assent of the Council, to establish the level of these deliveries;

Whereas, by the terms of the first subparagraph of paragraph 3 (a) of the said Joint Declaration, the level of the deliveries must be compatible with the objectives of the restructuring of the Spanish steel industry and with the forecasts used to calculate the evolution of the Community market;

Whereas no significant changes are forecast for the Community market for 1986 in comparison with 1985, and in particular several important aspects of the internal anti-crisis measures will remain;

Whereas, therefore, the Spanish deliveries to the rest of the Community, excluding Portugal, should not register a significant increase in 1986 in comparison with that level agreed between the Commission and Spain for 1985;

Whereas, nevertheless, it is desirable to retain the principle of the maintenance of traditional trade flows between Spain and the rest of the Community, excluding Portugal, interpreted on the basis of Spanish deliveries made during the reference years used in the framework of steel industry relations between the Community and Spain prior to the accession of the latter,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Deliveries of ECSC steel products of Spanish origin onto the rest of the Community market, excluding Portugal, may not exceed 850 000 tonnes.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.
