Itwasfelt necessary toknow whether theprogressive reduc­
tions incustoms duties provided forintheAgreements referred
toinitem 1.1 .would have theeffect ofincreasing imports
insuch awayastocause disturbances ontheCommunity markets

Itwasforthis reason that asystem ofCommunity surveillance yyt-
ofimports wasestablished in1973 and1974 »Itwas -continued
into 1975 under theregulations quoted initem 1.1 .

andoftheCommunity totals for1973 and1974 shows that
noanomalies were observed forthemajority ofproducts as
regards thepattern ofimports andthat themarkets forthe
products inquestion bore nosigns ofdisturbance .Inthese
circumstances ,theappropriate course ieforsnzrveillariae «£f
