originating intheRepublic ofKorea are

(submitted tetheCouncil bytheCommission )

COM(75 )303 final .

Explanatory Statement
1. Since 1973 ,"theEuropean producers ofknitted gloves have
been subjected togrowing pressure ,especially intheFrenoh market ,
from imports from South East Asia ,andprincipally from Korea .
2. This pressure hasmanifested itself onthequantitative level
byasharp andsubstantial increase inimports which have risen in
Prance from 271.000 pairs in1972 toabout 2.67 million pairs in1974 *
Furthermore ,theabnormally lowprices offered bytheKorean and
Taiwanese exporters ,less than onethird theFrench price ,have
adversely affected these Community producers .
3. Thecombination ofthese twofactors ,quantity andprice ,has
allowed theKorean exporters tooapture alarge share ofthemarket ,
approximately 20$oftheconsumption inFrance ,andexceeding in
1975 "theproduction ofthat country .This development hasbeen at
theexpense oftheknitwear producers intheregions affected ,whose
production hasdecreased considerably during thepast four years .
Ithasalso hadvery seriouB effects ontheposition ofemployment
inthis sector .
4. Bearing inmind this situation ,andinview oftherapid
aggravation which isshown bytheimports forecasts made during thefirst 4
months of1975 »"thsFrench Government has ,onthe7May1975 »asked for
theurgent establishment ofsafeguard measures .
