of 6 July 1982

re-establishing the levying of customs duties on alloy steel and high carbon steel, falling within subheadings 73.15 ex A, ex B and originating in Brazil, to which the preferential tariff arrangements set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3601/81 apply

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3601/81 of 7 December 1981 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1982 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,

Whereas, in pursuance of Articles 1 and 9 of that Regulation, suspension of customs duties shall be accorded to each of the countries or territories listed in Annex C, other than those listed in column 4 of Annex A, within the framework of the preferential tariff ceiling fixed in column 9 of Annex A;

Whereas, as provided for in Article 10 of that Regulation, as soon as the individual ceilings in question are reached at Community level, the levying of customs duties on imports of the products in question originating in each of the countries and territories concerned may at any time be re-established;

Whereas, in the case of alloy steel and high carbon steel falling within subheadings 73.15 ex A, ex B, the individual ceiling was fixed at 3 656 000 ECU; whereas, on 28 June 1982, imports of these products into the Community originating in Brazil reached that ceiling; whereas customs duties in respect of the products in question must therefore be re-established against Brazil,
