COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3701/83

of 22 December 1983

suspending the application of ceilings established by Regulation (EEC) No 3221/83 for imports of certain products originating in Yugoslavia

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Protocol 1 annexed to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1), the Community has, by Regulation (EEC) No 3221/83 (2), established the ceilings applicable in 1984 to imports of certain products originating in Yugoslavia; whereas this Article provides also that if, for two successive years, imports of a product subject to a ceiling are less than 80 % of the amount fixed, the Community may suspend the application of this ceiling;

Whereas the Communities' statistical summaries for 1981 and 1982 show that imports of certain products which are subject to ceilings did not, during those years, reach 80 % of the ceilings indicated; whereas, therefore, it appears appropriate to suspend application of the ceilings valid for imports of the products in question from 1 January 1984; whereas, however, it is desirable to follow the development of these imports by means of statistical surveillance,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The application of the ceilings established by Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3221/83 shall be suspended from 1 January 1984 for imports of the products in Annexes I, II and IV of the abovementioned Regulation which are indicated below and which shall remain under Community surveillance.
