COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
suspending the application of ceilings established by  
Regulation (EEC) N o /83 for imports of certain  
products originating in Yugoslavia
(submitted to the Council by the Commission)
C O M (83) 581 fin a l

for 1981 and 1982 s h o w  that imports of certain products did not reach  
80 %  in those years. This being so, it seem s appropriate to suspend  
application of the ceilings already fixed for 1984- and to am en d  the  
abovementioned Regulation accordingly.EXPLANATORY M EM O RANDUM
The EEC/Yugoslavia Cooperation Agreement provides in Article 1  of its  
Protocol n o  1  that imports of certain products originating in Yugoslavia  
should be subject to an annual ceiling above which custom s duties m a y  be  
reintroduced.
The Com m unity has accordingly fixed, by a  Council Regulation, the  
ceilings applicable in 1 9 8.H  to imports of a  num ber of products.
However, the abovementioned article also provides that i f , for two  
successive years, imports of a  product subject to a  ceiling are less  
than 80 %  of the level fixed, the Com m unity m a y  suspend application
of this ceiling. The Com m unity totals of am ounts charged against the ceilings
The draft Council Regulation annexed hereto, providing for suspension  
of the application of the ceilings to which imports of certain products  
originating in Yugoslavia are subject, is submitted for approval.
This is the subject of the present proposal for a  Regulation (see  
Annex).

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the  
European Econom ic Com m unity and in particular  
Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the Council Regulation (EEC) No..../83 establishing  
ceilings and Com m unity supervision for imports of certain goods  
originating in Yugoslavia (1984)
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
W hereas pursuant to Article 1  of Protocol 1  annexed to the  
Cooperation Agreement between the European Econom ic  
Com m unity and the Socialist Federal Republic of  
Yugoslavia (1), the Com m unity has by Regulation (EEC )

198^ to imports of certain products originating in  
Yugoslavia; whereas this Article provides also that if , for  
two successive years, imports of a  product subject to a  
ceiling are less than 80 %  of the am ount fixed, the Com m unity  
m a y  suspend the application of this ceiling ;
W hereas the Communities' statistical summaries for 1981  
and 1982 sh o w  that imports of certain products which are  
subject to ceilings did not, during those years, reach  
80 %  of the ceilings indicated; whereas therefore; it  
appears appropriate to suspend application of the  
ceilings valid for imports of the products in question  
from 1  January 198*t; whereas, however, it is  
desirable to follow the development of thses imports  
by m eans of statistical surveillance,
