supplementing Decision N° 37-54 of 29 July 1954 on the publication  
of price lists and conditions of sale applied by undertakings in  
the steel industry to the sale of special steels
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel  
Community, and in particular Article 60;
Given that under Decision N° 37-54 of 29 July 1954 the enterprises  
are required to publish price lists and conditions of sale for special  
steels as defined in Annex III to the Treaty (1), and that this deci­
sion was supplemented by Decision N° 33-58 of 1  December 1958 (2) and  
amended by Decisi on N° 21-63 of 11 December 1963 (3);
Whereas steel undertakings are obliged, under Decision N° 37-54, to  
publish price lists and conditions of sale for the sale of certain  
special steels;
Whereas a study of special conditions attached to the production,  
standardization and sale of tool steels, for which the publication of  
price lists has not been required hitherto, has shown that conditions  
at the present time are such that price lists could also be published  
for these steels:
(1) 0J N° 18, 1.8.1954, p. 470 et seq.
(2) 0J N° 31, 18.12.1958, p. 665 et seq.
(3) 0J n° 187, 24.12.1963, p. 2973 et seq.

should b e  extended to tool steels;
After consulting the Consultative C om m ittee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
