of 18 April 1989

on arrangements for imports into the Community of certain textile products (category 4), originating in Indonesia

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 of 22 December 1986 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in third countries (1), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 718/89 (2) and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into the Community of certain textile products (category 4) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Indonesia have exceeded the level referred to in paragraph 2 of the said Articel 11;

Whereas in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86, on 23 November 1988 Indonesia was notified of a request for consultations; whereas pending a mutually satisfactory solution, importations into the Community of category 4 products have been submitted to provisional limits for the period 23 November 1988 to 22 February 1989 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3814/88 (3);

Whereas, as a result of consultations held on 31 January and 1 February 1989, it was agreed to submit the textile products in question to Community quantitative limits for the period 23 November to 31 December 1988 and for the years 1988 to 1991;

Whereas paragraph 13 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 the quantitative limits are observed by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI of the said Regulation;

Whereas the products in question exported from Indonesia to the Community between 23 November and 31 December 1988 must be set off against the Community quantitative limits for the period 23 November to 31 December 1988;

Whereas these quantitative limits should not prevent the importation of products covered by them but shipped from Indonesia to the Community before the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 3814/88;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, imports into the Community of the category of products originating in Indonesia and specified in the Annex hereto shall be subject to the quantitative limits set out in that Annex.

Article 2

1. Products referred to in Article 1 shipped from Indonesia to the Community before the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 3814/89 and not yet released for free circulation, shall be so released subject to the presentation of a bill of lading or other transport document proving that shipment actually took place during that period.

2. The importation of products referred to in Article 1, shipped from Indonesia to the Community during the period of application of Regulation (EEC) No 3814/88 as well as after the entry into force of the current Regulation shall be subject to the double checking system described in Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86.

3. All quantities of the products described in Article 1 shipped from Indonesia to the Community on or after 23 December 1988 and released for free circulation shall be deducted from the quantitative limits laid down in the Annex.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply until 31 December 1991.
