Having regard to Decision No 2-52 of 23 December 1952 determining the mode of assessment and collection of the levies provided for in Articles 49 and 50 of the Treaty;

Whereas it is for the High Authority to fix the rate of the levy, which may not exceed 1 %, and to determine the procedure for applying Decision No 2-52;

DECIDES:

Article 1

The rate of the levies on output from 1 January 1953 is fixed as from that date at 0.3 % of the figures used as a basis of assessment for levies ; it shall increase by progressive stages every two months at the rate of 0.2 % of these figures but it may not exceed 0.9 %.

From 20 February 1953, undertakings shall, on the twentieth day of each month, for each establishment connected with them, submit to the Levy Office of the High Authority, in the form set out in the Annex, separate returns of the preceding month's output of the products listed in Article 1 of Decision No 2-52.
