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), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1215/91 (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 Spain of certain textile products (category 35) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Indonesia exceeded the level referred to in paragraph 3 of the said Article 11;

Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86, on 24 April 1991, Indonesia was notified of a request for consultations; whereas, pending a mutually satisfactory solution, importations into Spain of category 35 products have been submitted to a provisional limit for the period 24 April to 23 July 1991 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1215/91;

Whereas, as a result of consultations held on 3 June 1991 it was agreed to submit the textile products of category 35 to a quantitative limit for the period 24 April to 31 December 1991;

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

Whereas the products in question exported from Indonesia to Spain between 24 April 1991 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set or against the quantitative limit;

Whereas this quantitative limit should not prevent the importation of products covered by it but shipped it from Indonesia to Spain before the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 1215/91;

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