COUNCIL DECISION

of 17 September 1987

relating to maritime transport between Italy and Algeria

(87/475/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4055/86 of 22 December 1986 applying the principle of freedom to provide services to maritime transport between Member States and between Member States and third countries (1), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas the question of Algerian practices of cargo reservation was raised by the Italian delegation in July 1985 in the context of the consultation procedure on shipping matters established by Council Decision 77/587/EEC (2) and led to a Community demarche in October 1985;

Whereas the Italian Government submitted to the Commission on 17 March 1987 the text of an Agreement on Maritime Transport and Navigation between the Italian Republic and the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria which was signed on 28 February 1987 but has not been ratified;

Whereas this submission is exceptionally to be treated as information for the purposes of Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4055/86;

Whereas Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4055/86 provides that the Council shall decide on the necessary action where a Member State's nationals or shipping companies do not have an effective opportunity to ply for trade to and from a particular third country;

Whereas Algeria recently ratified the United Nations Convention on a Code of Conduct for Liner Conference, which entered into force for that country on 12 June 1987;

Whereas the provisions of the aforementioned Agreement need to be applied in such a way as to avoid a conflict with the obligations of the Member States under Community law, in particular with respect to fair, free and non-discriminatory access to cargoes by Community nationals or shipping companies, including independent lines;

Whereas Italy may in these circumstances ratify the Agreement,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Italian Republic may ratify its Agreement on Maritime Transport and Navigation with the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, signed on 28 February 1987, on the understanding that Italy:

(a) will take the necessary steps to accede as soon as possible, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 954/79 (3), to the United States Convention on a Code of Conduct for Liner Conferences;

(b) will reiterate to Algeria that the provisions of the Agreement will be implemented in accordance with Community law;

Whereas Canada has forwarded, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, a list of establishments authorized to export to the Community;

Whereas the list of establishments in Canada approved for the import of fresh meat into the Community was drawn up originally in Commission Decision 87/258/EEC (3);

Whereas it is physically impossible to complete inspection of Canadian establishments before 31 December 1987;

Whereas, in order to affect trade as little as possible, those transitional arrangements should be extended until 31 March 1988;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

In Article 2 of Decision 87/258/EEC, '31 December 1987' is replaced by '31 March 1988'.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 17 March 1988

authorizing the Kingdom of Spain to apply intra-Community surveillance to imports of motor vehicles for the transport of persons or goods, originating in Romania and placed in free circultation in the Community

(Only the Spanish text is authentic)

(88/232/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Decision 87/433/EEC of 22 July 1987 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,

Whereas Decision 87/433/EEC requires Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of the imports concerned;

Whereas on 8 March 1988 the Spanish Government, under Article 2 of Decision 87/433/EEC, asked the Commission for authorization to introduce intra-Community surveillance for motor vehicles for the transport of persons or goods, falling within CN codes 8702, 8703 and 8704, originating in Romania and placed in free circulation in one of the Member States;

Whereas imports into Spain of the products in question originating in Romania are subject to quantitative restrictions under Article 2 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2273/87 (3);

Whereas there are disparities in the conditions governing these imports in the Member States; whereas these disparities could cause deflection of trade which might aggravate or cause economic difficulties affecting the industry concerned;

Whereas the Spanish authorities informed the Commission that, since the beginning of the year, Spain has been receiving a flow of indirect trade in the products in question originating in Romania and in free circulation in other Member States;

Whereas the Commission examined the request from the Spanish Government; whereas it found that the deflection of trade could increase and cause or aggravate economic difficulties in the industry concerned;

Whereas in these circumstances, foreseeable imports should be monitored closely; whereas the imports in question originating in Romania should therefore be made subject to prior intra-Community surveillance in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 87/433/EEC,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Kingdom of Spain is hereby authorized to apply intra-Community surveillance in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 87/433/EEC to the following imports until 31 December 1988:

1.2.3 // // // // CN code // Description // Country of origin // // // // // // // 8702 8703 8704 // Motor vehicles for the transport of persons or goods // Romania // // //

COMMISSION DECISION

of 29 March 1988

authorizing the Italian Republic to apply intra-Community surveillance to imports of certain footwear originating in South Korea or Taiwan

(Only the Italian text is authentic)

(88/255/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Decision 87/433/EEC of 22 July 1987 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 561/88 (2) instituted a system for the authorization within certain limits of imports into Italy of certain footwear originating in South Korea or Taiwan;

Whereas the conditions for importing the products in question into Italy differ from the conditions for importing them into the other Member States; whereas these differences are liable to result in deflections of trade;

Whereas, in order to detect such deflections of trade rapidly, the Italian Government has asked the Commission of the European Communities for authorization to apply prior intra-Community surveillance to imports of the products in question originating in South Korea or Taiwan and in free circulation in the other Member States;

Whereas the Commission has examined the matter to determine whether these imports could be subject to intra-Community surveillance; whereas this examination has shown that deflection has occurred and is likely to recur and so undermine the objectives of Regulation (EEC) No 561/88 and aggravate or prolong the economic difficulties of the sector concerned, as described in that Regulation;

Whereas, in these circumstances, Italy should be authorized to apply intra-Community surveillance to imports of the products in question originating in South Korea or Taiwan and in free circulation in the other Member States,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Italian Republic is hereby authorized in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 87/433/EEC to apply intra-Community surveillance until 30 June 1990 to imports of the following products originating in South Korea or Taiwan:

1.2 // // // CN code // Description // // // 6401 92 to 6401 99 90 // Waterproof footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics // 6402 19 00 6402 20 00 6402 91 to 6402 99 99 // Other footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics // 6403 19 00 6403 20 00 6403 51 to 6403 99 99 // Footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of leather // 6404 // Footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of textile materials // 6405 // Other footwear // //

COUNCIL DECISION of 19 July 1988 on the granting, by certain Member States, of aid for the short-term private storage of table wine and must (88/415/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 93(2) thereof,

Having regard to the requests submitted by the French Republic and the Italian Republic,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 76 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2253/88(2), Articles 92, 93 and 94 of the Treaty were made applicable to the production of, and trade in, wine and must;

Whereas, by Decision 87/375/EEC(3), the Council decided that national aid for the short-term private storage of table wines and must granted by certain Member States was to be regarded as compatible with the common market for the 1987/88 wine marketing year;

Whereas, having regard to the heavy surpluses on the market in table wines and must, this national aid contributes, at the start of the wine marketing year, to the same objectives of rationalizing the said market as the measures to stabilize the market applied at Community level;

Whereas, in order to avoid too abrupt a transfer to an arrangement which excludes all national aid for short-term private storage, it is essential to provide for the payment of this aid to continue in certain Member States, while limiting the period during which it may be granted;

Whereas exceptional circumstances thus continue to prevail, giving grounds for regarding the said aid as compatible with the common market for the 1988/89 wine marketing year until 15 December 1988,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1 National aid for the short-term private storage of table wine and must granted in France and Italy shall be deemed compatible with the common market for the 1988/89 wine marketing year until 15 December 1988.

Article 2 This Decision is addressed to the French Republic and the Italian Republic.
