Whereas the outbreak recorded is located within a clearly defined part of the territory of Luxembourg;

Whereas Luxembourg authorities have taken all measures necessary to control the disease and any movement of pigs and pigmeat products from those parts of the territory exposed to risks of contamination;

Whereas, under those circumstances, the status of Luxembourg as officially free from classical swine fever should be maintained for the period necessary to clarify the situation and adopt the requisite measures;

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

The status of Luxembourg as a Member State officially free from classical swine fever shall be maintained until 31 May 1987.

derogating from High Authority recommendation No 1-64 concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community

Whereas Germany and Benelux have shown the existence of exceptional and temporary difficulties in obtaining supplies for their electro-mechanical industry on the Community market with special sheet for the manufacture of transformers and similar appliances; whereas such difficulties, which seemed likely to come to an end in mid-1987, are still prevalent but seem capable of being solved by the end of the year 1987;

Whereas by Decision No 87/364/ECSC (3) the Commission authorized Germany and Benelux to import duty-free from third countries certain quantities of special sheet during the period 1 January to 30 June 1987 and it is now appropriate to extend the operation of this Decision until 31 December 1987;

Whereas this exceptional import is justified for the reasons of commercial policy provided for in Article 3 of 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
