COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1015/91 of 23 April 1991 on the opening of supplementary quotas for imports into the Community of certain textile products originating in Yugoslavia for the 1991 Berlin Trade Fairs

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86 of 22 December 1986 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in Yugoslavia (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 71/91 (2), and in particular Article 8 (3) thereof,

Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86, the importation of textile products originating in Yugoslavia was made subject to quantitative limitation and allocation among the Member States and to common rules for authorization;

Whereas trade fairs are to be held, as in previous years, in Berlin in 1991, at which Yugoslavia among other exporting countries is expected to participate; whereas the existing shares of Community quotas allocated to the Federal Republic of Germany may again be insufficient to meet the requirements of the trade fairs;

Whereas it is therefore necessary again this year to open supplementary quotas for the Berlin Trade Fairs and to allocate these to the Federal Republic of Germany;

Whereas it is desirable that import authorizations should be issued in accordance with the requirements on origin specified in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee - Yugoslavia set up by Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1

In addition to the quantitative limits on imports established by Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86 supplementary quotas as set out in the Annex hereto shall be opened in respect of the Berlin Trade Fairs to be held in 1991 and shall be allocated to the Federal Republic of Germany. Article 2

1. The authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany shall authorize imports, not exceeding the supplementary quotas referred to in Article 1, only in respect of such contracts signed in Berlin during the Berlin Trade Fair as are recognized by those authorities as being eligible, provided that products covered by such approved contracts are placed on board for exportation to the Federal Republic of Germany in Yugoslavia after 15 October 1991.

2. The period of validity of import authorizations or equivalent documents issued in accordance with paragraph 1 shall not extend beyond 31 December 1992.

3. The Commission shall be informed no later than 31 December 1991 of the total quantities covered by contracts authorized under paragraph 1. Article 3

Importation of the textile products covered by authorization given in accordance with Article 2 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4135/86. Article 4

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
