of 16 June 1983

amending Decision No 702/83/ECSC imposing provisional anti-dumping duties on certain iron or steel coils for re-rolling, originating in Argentina, Brazil, Canada and Venezuela, and accepting price undertakings from two Canadian exporters

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,

Having regard to Commission recommendation No 3018/79/ECSC of 21 December 1979 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Coal and Steel Community (1), as last amended by recommendation No 3025/82/ECSC (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas, in the meantime, Titan International Corporation has offered a price undertaking concerning its exports to the Community of products manufactured by Dofasco;

Whereas the Commission considers this price undertaking to be satisfactory;

Whereas Decision No 702/83/ECSC should be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Decision No 702/83/ECSC is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article 1 (3) is replaced by the following:

COMMISSION DECISION No 3633/83/ECSC

of 8 December 1983

supplementing Decision No 37-54 on the publication of price lists and conditions of sale applied by undertakings in the steel industry to the sale of special steels

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 60 thereof,

Given that under Decision No 37-54 of 29 July 1954 (1) the enterprises are required to publish price lists and conditions of sale for special steels as defined in Annex III to the Treaty, and that this Decision was supplemented by Decision No 33-58 of 1 December 1958 (2) and amended by Decision No 21-63 of 11 December 1963 (3),

Whereas steel undertakings are obliged, under Decision No 37-54 to publish price lists and conditions of sale for the sale of certain special steels;

Whereas a study of special conditions attached to the production, standardization and sale of tool steels, for which the publication of price lists has not been required hitherto, has shown that conditions at the present time are such that price lists could also be published for these steels;

Whereas it is appropriate that the requirement to publish price lists should be extended to tool steels;

After consulting the Consultative Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Article 3 of Decision No 37-54 is hereby supplemented and amended as follows:

The following points (h) and (i) are added after point (g):

COMMISSION DECISION No 2546/83/ECSC

of 7 September 1983

amending Decision No 2177/83/ECSC on the extension of the system of monitoring and production quotas for certain products of undertakings in the steel industry

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,

Having regard to Commission Decision No 2177/83/ECSC of 28 July 1983 on the extension of the system of monitoring and production quotas for certain products of undertakings in the steel industry (1), and in particular Article 18 (1) thereof,

Whereas Article 14d of Decision No 2177/83/ECSC reads in part as follows: 'In the event of exchanges or transfers of a structural nature reducing the reference production of an undertaking for the group of product categories Ia, Ib, Ic and Id, relative to those which existed under the system of Decision No 1696/82/ECSC, and in so far as the enterprise has fulfilled its production quota for this group of products at a rate of at least 95 % in 1982 . . .'; whereas this wording is to be read as excluding an insignificant reduction; whereas to be significant, a reduction must be greater than 1 %;

Whereas this definition calls for an adjustment by way of a Decision amending Decision No 2177/83/ECSC; whereas, such being the case, Decision No 2177/83/ECSC has therefore encountered an unforeseen difficulty within the meaning of Article 18 (1) thereof and should be amended in consequence,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Decision No 2177/83/ECSC is hereby amended as follows:

The first paragraph of Article 14d, is replaced by the following:

'In the event of exchanges or transfers of a structural nature reducing the reference production of an undertaking for the group of product categories Ia, Ib, Ic and Id by more than 1 % relative to those which existed under the system of Decision No 1696/82/ECSC, and in so far as the enterprise has fulfilled its production quota for this group of products at a rate of at least 95 % in 1982, then the Commission may make an adjustment to its production quotas and those parts of the quotas that may be delivered to the common market in order to achieve the levels which would have obtained if the production and quantity references of each of these product categories had been set for this undertaking at the level of Decision No 1696/82/ECSC.'

Article 2

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

This Decision shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

The Commission having decided in Decision No 470/85/ECSC to provide for the possibility of granting such supplementary quotas, under certain conditions, pursuant to a new provision, namely Article 10 (3), reference to the latter provision should be made in Article 5 of Commission Decision No 3650/84/ECSC (3),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 5 of Decision No 3650/84/ECSC is hereby replaced by the following:
