COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3638/83

of 20 December 1983

on arrangements for imports into France, Italy and the United Kingdom of certain textile products (category 3) 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 3589/82 of 23 December 1982 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in third countries (1), and in particular Articles 9 and 11 thereof,

Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into the Community of textile products of category 3 specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Indonesia exceeded the level referred to in paragraph 2 of the said Article 11;

Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82, Indonesia was notified on 20 June 1983 of a request for consultations;

Whereas, pending the outcome of the requested consultations, imports into France, Italy and the United Kingdom were made subject to provisional quantitative limits for the period 20 June to 19 September 1983 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2042/83 of 20 July 1983 (2); whereas, the consultations, not having led to a definitive conclusion within that period, the said imports were made subject to quantitative limits for the period 20 June to 31 December 1983 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2604/83 of 16 September 1983 (3);

Whereas, as a result of consultations held between 16 and 18 November 1983, it has been agreed that imports of products of category 3 from Indonesia into France, Italy and the United Kingdom should be subject to quantitative limits for the years 1984 to 1986; whereas it is appropriate that the quantitative limits for 1983 be increased under Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82 by special supplementary quantities;

Whereas paragraph 13 of the said Article 11 provides for compliance with the quantitative limits to be ensured by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82;

Whereas the products in question exported from Indonesia to France, Italy and the United Kingdom between 20 June and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limits for 1983;

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 France, Italy and the United Kingdom of the category of products originating in Indonesia specified in the Annex hereto shall be subject to the quantitative limits set out in that Annex.

Article 2

1. Products as referred to in Article 1, shipped from Indonesia to France, Italy and the United Kingdom before the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2042/83 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 before that date.

2. Imports of products shipped from Indonesia to France, Italy and the United Kingdom from the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2042/83 shall remain subject to the double-checking system described in Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82.

3. In applying the provisions of paragraph 2, all quantities of products shipped from Indonesia to France, Italy and the United Kingdom from 20 June 1983 and released for free circulation shall be deducted from the quantitative limits for 1983. These quantitative limits shall not, however, prevent the

importation of products covered thereby but shipped from Indonesia before the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2042/83.

Article 3

Regulation (EEC) No 2604/83 is hereby repealed.

Article 4

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