A COMISSÃO DAS COMUNIDADES EUROPEIAS,

Tendo em conta o Tratado que institui a Comunidade Europeia do Carvão e do Aço e, nomeadamente, o seu artigo 95o,

Considerando que a Decisão no 2871/82/CECA de 21 de Outubro de 1982 aprovou a conclusão de um Convénio com os Estados Unidos da América relativo ao Aço (1);

Considerando que essas verificações mostraram a necessidade de determinar com maior precisão, em códigos Nimexe, os produtos abrangidos pelo Convénio;

Após consulta do Comité Consultivo e com o parecer favorável do Conselho, deliberando por unanimidade,

ADOPTOU A PRESENTE DECISÃO:

Artigo 1o

1. As adaptações do Anexo B do Convénio entre a Comunidade Europeia do Carvão e do Aço e os Estados Unidos da América relativo ao comércio de certos produtos siderúrgicos, a concluir sob forma de Troca de Cartas, são aprovadas em nome da Comunidade Europeia do Carvão e do Aço.

2. O texto da Troca de Cartas vem anexo à presente decisão.

Artigo 2o

A Comissão designará a pessoa habilitada a proceder à Troca de Cartas para o efeito de vincular a Comunidade Europeia do Carvão e do Aço.

Artigo 3o

A presente decisão entra em vigor no dia da sua publicação no Jornal Oficial das Comunidades Europeias.

A presente decisão é obrigatória em todos os seus elementos e directamente applicável em todos os Estados-membros.

Feito em Bruxelas em 15 de Abril de 1983.

Excelentíssimo Senhor,

Em conformidade com as disposições do Anexo B do Convénio relativo ao comércio de certos produtos siderúrgicos entre a Comunidade Europeia do Carvão e do Aço e os Estados Unidos, este mesmo anexo foi revisto pelos peritos das duas partes que acordaram em alterar certas rubricas da Nimexe aí referidas.

Junto encontrará o novo Anexo B que inclui já essas alterações.

Muito agradeço a Vossa Excelência se digne confirmar-me o acordo do Vosso Governo sobre o conteúdo desta carta.
