Draft 
DECISION OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER 
STATES OF THE EUROPEAN COAL AND STEEL COMMUNITY, 
MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL

goods falling under the ECSC Treaty originating in Yugoslavia 
(1990) 
(presented by the Commission) 
/ 
EXgANATOKY MEMORANDUM 
1. Tne Agreement between the Member States of tne European Coal and 
Steel Community and ths European Coal and Steel Community on the ore 
hand and the Socialist Federal republic of Yugoslavia on tne other 
hand provides for dutyfree import into tne Community of certain 
steel products falling under Chapters 26, 27 and 73 of the Common 
Customs tariff and originating in Yugoslavia. As an exception to 
this provision Article 3 stipulates tnat the imports of some of 
thee» goods shall be subject to ceilings above which the customs 
duties applicable to third countries may be introduced until the end 
of the calendar >ear (1). 
2. Article 12 of the Agreement provides for the progressive abolition 
of trade obstacles to be carried on in stages, tne first stag» of 
5 ys<xrs having expired on 31 Marcn 1988. fending conclusion of an 
additional Rrotocol to this Agreement, the Representatives of the 
Governments of the Member States have extended D/ Decision 
(88/652/ECSC), the system provided for by Article 3 of the 
Agreement for the year 1990. 
3. Within the limits of these tariff ceilings, the Kingdom of Spain and 
the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated 
according to Decision 87/603/ECSC of the Itepresentatives of the 
Governments of the Member States, meeting with the Council, and of 
the Commission of 21 December 1987 laying down the arrangements for 
Spain's and Portugal's trade with Yugoslavia in products falling 
under the ECSC Treaty and amending Decisions 36/69/ECSC and 
87/456/ECSC. 
4. The draft Decision joined hereto Vas as its objective : 
- to establish the ceilings to be applied in 1990 for Imports of 
certain steel products originating in "Kjgoslavia, 
- to establish the rules under which customs duties may be 
reintroduced under certain conditions and 
- to establish a system of surveillance relating to imports of the 
product subject to ceilings. 
(1) The amounts of certain of these oeilingsx have been increased 
autonomously sy DECISION OF THE REIRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVSREMaTTS 
Cc THE MEMBER STATES OF THE EUROPEAN COAL AND STEEL CXMMUNITY 
MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL, of 18.4.1983 laying down tte 
arrangements applicable to trade between Greece and Yugoslavia in 
products covered by that Ccmnunity (OJ No L 126, 13.5.1983, p. 18). 
-2 -
5. Implementation of tnese two measures : 
(a) annual ceilings, and 
(D) réintroduction of customs duties, 
implies the adoption of precise common ruLes to be applied uniformly 
oy all Memcer States. These requirements may be met Dy tne 
establishment of a Community system of surveillance of actual 
imports from the partner country. To this end, the Memcer States 
should tatae appropriate measures to permit the rapid col Lection of 
statistical returns at Ccmmunity level. In this connection it is 
necessary to take into account only imports of the products in 
question as and wnen they are entered witn Customs authorities for 
free circulation and accompanied by a movement certificate 
conforming to Ut; rules contained in the Agreement referred to under 
1 above. 
These returns should be drawn up by eacn Memcer State at the end of 
every montn and forwarded by the fifteenth day of tne following 
month to the Ccmmission so as to enaoLe tne latter to comnunicate to 
all tne Member States the overall, product-by-product returns for 
the iirports in question in the precaeding month. Tne system of 
surveillance will require diligent and close co-operation between 
the responsible departments of the Member States and the Comnission. 
6. Tne following system would be adopted for setting in train machinery 
to reintroduce duties : if one of the overall monthly returns drawn 
up by the Commission revealed that 75 % of the aeiling fixed for a 
given product had been reached, consultations could be held, for 
example in the working Ifcrty on Economic Tariff Problems, either at 
the request of a Member State or upon tne Commission's initiative. 
The aim of these consultations would be to examine, case by case, 
the re introduction or not of the levying of customs duties 
applicable to third countries once the ceiling is actually reached. 
Monthly returns would still be mace in respect of imports of the 
product in question or, if requested by the Commission, by telex at 
intervals of ten days. The maximum delay for tne transmission of 
this last mentioned information is five days. 
I 
-3 -
As far as application of the rule on ceilings and re introduction of 
duties is concerned, the drafts make provisions for conferring 
powers of the Council upon the Ccnniissicn. 
In these conditions the Commission would be able within the shortest 
possible tine, either to take measures leading to the réintroduction 
of customs duties in respect of the partner country until" the end of 
tne calendar year, or to coordinate the necessary procedures in the 
case of the initiative being taken by a Member State. 
The draft Decision dees no more than outline in broad terms how 
these powers are to be exercised so that, tne machinery to be 
established may be adopted flexibly and rapidly, in close 
collaboration with the Member States.
