Brussels, 20 July  1983
Proposal for a  
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
establishing ceilings and C o m m u n ity  supervision for imports of  
certain  goods originating in Yugoslavia (1984)
(submitted to the Council b y  the Commission)
C 0 M (8 3 ) 4 5 1  final

E X P L A N A T O R Y  M E M O R A N D U M
T he proposal for the Regulation joined hereto has as its objective
- to establish ceilings to be applied  in 1984 fo r  imports of certain  
goods originating in Yugoslavia;
- to attribute to the Commission the competence to re-establish customs  
duties under certain conditions;
- to establish a  system of surveillance relating to imports of goods  
which are or are not subject to ceilings.
i
(
1. T he Cooperation Agreem ent concluded b y  the E E C  with Yugoslavia provides  
for duty-free import into the C om m u n ity of nearly all goods falling  
under Chapters  N o. 2 5 to 99 of the Common C ustom s Tariff a n d  
originating in Yugoslavia. A s  an exception t o  this provision Protocol  
N o. 1  stipulates that the imports  of some o f these  goods shall be  
subject to ceilings above which the customs duties applicable  to 
non-member countries m a y  be reintroduced until the end of the  
calender year. (1)
2. Implementation of these two provisions :
(a) annual ceilings, and
(b) réintroduction of customs duties,
implies the adoption of precise c o m m o n  rules to be applied uniformly  
by all Member  States. These requirements m a y  be m et b y  the  
establishment of a  C om m u n ity system of supervision of actuaL imports  
from  the partner country. T o  this end, the M e m b e r  States should  
take appropriate measures to permit the rapid collection of statistical  
returns at C om m unity measures to permit the rapid collection of  
statistical returns at C om m u n ity level. In this connection it is  
necessary to take into account only imports of the products in question  
as and w h en  they are entered with C ustom s authorities  
for free circulation and accompanied by a  m ovem ent certificate  
conforming to the rules contained in the Agreem ent referred to under  
1  above.
These returns should be draw n u p  by each M e m b e r  State at the end of every  
m onth and forwarded by the fifteenth day of the following m onth to the  
Commission so as to enable the latter to communicate to all the M e m b e r  
States the overall, g o o d -b y-good  returns for the imports in question
(1) see page 3

in the preceding month. T he system of supervision will require of  
the responsible departments of the Member  States and the Commission  
diligence and close cooperation.
T he following system would be adopted  for setting in train machinery  
to reintroduce duties :  if one of the overall monthly returns draw n  
u p  by the Commission revealed that 75 %  of the ceiling fixed for a  
given good had been  reached, consultations could be held, for  
example in the W orking Party on Econom ic Tariff Problems, either at the  
request of a  M e m b e r  State or upon  the Commission's initiative.
T he aim  of these consultations would be to examine, case by case,  
the réintroduction or not of the levying of customs duties applicable  
to non-member  countries once the ceiling is actually reached.
Monthly returns would s till be m a d e in respect of imports of the product  
in question or, if it is requested by the Commission by telex at  
intervals of ten days. T he set term  for the transmission of this  
last mentioned information is five days. In these conditions, the  
Commission would be able to take, within the shortest possible time,  
measures leading to the réintroduction, b y  regulation, of customs  
duties in respect of the partner country until the end of the  
calendar year. In the above  hypothesis, the réintroduction of the  
levying of customs duties on the good under  consideration would,  
naturally, be effected within the time-limit fixed by the  
regulation.
A s fas as application of the rule on ceilings and réintroduction of  
duties is concerned, the proposal m akes provisions for conferring  
powers of the Council upon  the Commission.
T he proposed regulation does  no m ore than outline h o w  these powers  
are to be exercised so that, in consultation with the M e m b e r  States,  
the machinery, to be set in train m a y  be adapted flexibly and  
rapidly. Furthermore, it is likewise with a  view to m a x im u m  
efficiency and rapidity that the proposal lays down  that it would  
be u p  to the Commission to reintroduce, in respect of the partner  
country, the levying of the duties applicable to non-member  countries.

- Council Regulation (E E C ) N o  287/82 establishing the arrangements  
applicable to imports of products originating in Yugoslavia to

Proposal for a
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
establishing ceilings and Community supervision for imports of certain goods originating
in Yugoslavia (1984)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the 
European Economic Community, and in particular 
Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
a  Cooperation
Whereas Agreement between the
European Economic Community and the Socialist 
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (‘) was concluded on 
84 January 1983;
Whereas Article 1  of Protocol 1  annexed to that 
Agreement provides, on the one hand, that imports of 
the goods therein set out are limited to annual 
ceilings above which the customs duties applicable to 
third countries may be reintroduced; whereas, 
following the accession of the Hellenic Republic to 
the Community, an Additional Protocol amending the 
said Protocol 1  was signed on 1  April 1982; whereas, 
pending the entry into force of this Additional 
Protocol, the Community has put into force the 
amendments to the trade arrangements provided for 
in the said Protocol by Regulation (EEC) No 
287/82 (2 ); whereas, on the other hand, a Sup­
plementary Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement 
between the European Economic Community and the 
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia concerning 
trade in textile products, hereinafter referred to as the 
Supplementary Protocol, has been negotiated; 
whereas until the Supplementary Protocol comes into 
force the arrangements provided by it should be 
applied from 1  January 1983; whereas, therefore, the 
ceilings to be applied in 19S4 must be established; 
whereas in this situation it is necessary that the 
Commission be regularly informed of the trend of the 
imports of the goods in question and, in consequence, 
it is necessary to subject these imports to supervision;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of 
an administrative procedure based on setting off 
imports of the products in question against the 
ceilings at Community level, as and when these 
products are entered with customs authorities for free 
circulation; whereas this administrative procedure
(■) OJ No L 4 1  , 14.2.1983,  
O  OJ No L 30, 6. 2. 1982, p. 1.P . 1must make provision for the réintroduction of 
customs tariff duties as soon as the ceilings have been 
reached at Community level;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close 
and particularly rapid cooperation between the 
Member States and the Commission; whereas the 
latter must, in particular, be able to follow the 
progress of amounts set off against the ceilings and 
keep the Member States informed; whereas this 
cooperation must be all the closer since the 
Commission must be able to take adequate measures 
to reintroduce customs tariff duties whenever one of 
the ceilings has been reached;
Whereas the trend of imports should be followed for 
certain goods; whereas it is therefore desirable that 
imports of such goods should be subject to 
supervision,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. From 1  January to 31 December 1984 imports 
of certain goods originating in Yugoslavia and listed 
in Annexes I, II, III and IV shall be subject to ceilings 
and to Community supervision.
The description of the goods referred to in the 
preceding subparagraphs, their tariff headings and 
statistical numbers and the levels of the indicative 
ceilings or sub-ceilings are given in the
abovementioned Annexes.
The sub-ceilings established for certain products
in Anqex JI which have not, undergone an outward processing  operation in conformity with the C om m unity, Regulation on  economic outward processing, are indicated in colcm 5 of  
that Annex.
2. Amounts shall be set off against the ceilings or 
sub-ceilings as and when the goods are entered with 
customs authorities for free circulation and 
accompanied by a movement certificate conforming 
to the rules contained in Protocol 2 to the 
Agreement.
With regard to the ceilings established for categories 
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 15 B, 16, 18, 24/25 and 73 of Annex 
II, re-imported products which have undergone an outward  
processing operation in conformity with the C om m unity  
Regulation on economic outward processing nay be cnarged  
against the-respective ceilin gs only if  in the m ovem ent  
certificate issued by the competent Yugoslav authorities  
reference is  made to the prior authorisation provided for  
by the 'Community Regulation' on economic outward processing

-2-
Goods shall be set off against the ceiling or sub­
ceilings only if the movement certificate has been 
submitted before the date on which customs duties 
are reimposed.
The reaching of a ceiling or sub-ceiling shall be 
determined at Community level on the basis of 
imports set off against it in the manner defined in the 
preceding subparagraphs.
The Member States shall periodically inform the 
Commission of imports effected in accordance with 
the above rules; such information shall be supplied 
under the conditions laid down in paragraph 4.
3. As soon as the ceilings or sub-ceilings have been 
reached, the Commission may adopt a Regulation 
reimposing until the end of the calendar year the 
customs duties applicable to third countries.
In the case of such a reimposition, Greece shall 
reintroduce the levying of the customs duties which it 
applies to third countries at the date in question. 
However, if customs duties are reimposed, imports of 
the goods listed in Annex V, which within the 
meaning of Protocol 2 annexed to the Agreement 
have obtained originating' status in the free zone 
established by the Agreements signed at Osimo, shall 
continue to benefit from exemption of duties 
provided that this originating status is certified on the 
movement certificate by the competent Yugoslav 
authorities.
4. Member States shall forward to the Commission 
not later than the 15th day of each month statements 
of the amounts set off during the preceding month. 
They shall, if the Commission so requests, make upsuch statements for periods of 10 days and forward 
them within five clear days of expiry of the preceding 
10-day period.
Article 2
From 1  January to 31 December 198 4 imports of the 
goods originating in Yugoslavia referred to in Annex I 
for which the ceiling level is not specified shall be 
subject to Community supervision.
Member States shall forward to the Commission not 
later than the 15th day of each month statements of 
imports of the products in question effected during 
the preceding month; to this end, only products 
submitted to the customs authorities under cover of 
an entry for free circulation and accompanied by a 
movement certificate conforming to the rules 
contained in Protocol 2 to the Agreement shall be 
taken into consideration.
They shall, if the Commission so requests, make up 
import statements for periods of 10 days and forward 
them within five clear days of expiry of the preceding 
10-day period.
Article 3
The Member States and the Commission shall 
cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is 
complied with.
Article 4
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1  January 
198 4 .
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member 
States.
