COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2635/95 of 13 November 1995 introducing a prior surveillance of  imports of certain textile products originating in the United Arab EmiratesTHE  COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports of  textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or  other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules  (1), as last amended by Regulation  (EC) No 1325/95  (2), and in particular Article 11 (1), in conjunction with Article 25 (3)  thereof, Whereas it is apparent to the Commission that imports into the Community of certain textile  products of categories 4 (T-shirts), 5 (pullovers), 6 (trousers), 7 (shirt-blouses), 8 (shirts), 9  (woven terry fabrics), 20 (bed linen), 21 (anoraks), 26 (dresses), 157 (knitted garments) and 161  (garments other than knitted) after a rapid progression in the previous years, have in 1994 reached  very high levels which are likely to cause a disruption of the Community market of the products in  question and injury to the Community production of like or directly competitive products; whereas,  the levels of imports have increased from 200  % to 600  % during the period 1989-1994 and have  reached, for each category of products, levels much higher than the levels which have motivated the  negotiation of quantitative restrictions with a number of exporting countries; Whereas, taking into account the estimated production capacity of the United Arab Emirates for the  textile products stated above and in the light of the rapid increase of imports of these products,  an inquiry has been launched to verify the origin of the products; whereas, at the same time, the  Commission received from the Council, on 14 June 1994, directives to negotiate an agreement on the  trade of textile products with the United Arab Emirates, which, until now, it has not been possible  to initial; Whereas, for the purpose of monitoring the trend of the current imports and to rapidly identify  possible negative consequences for the concerned Community industry it is appropriate to make  imports of the products in question subject to prior Community surveillance for a limited period of  time and to establish that these products may be put into free circulation only on production of an  import document and, as a general rule, of a certificate of origin issued by the competent  authorities of the United Arab Emirates; Whereas, according to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 the Commission may adopt the above measures when  they are in conformity with the opinion of the Committee established by the aforementioned  Regulation; that the Committee, presented with a proposal for measures to be taken has not given an  opinion before the deadline set by its chairman; that on 5 October 1995 the Council has been  presented with an identical proposal in conformity with Article 25 (3) of the above Regulation;  that within one month the Council has not acted; that in conformity with Article 25 (3) of  Regulation (EC) No 517/94, the Commission shall adopt the proposed measures, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 As from the date of entry into force of this Regulation products  listed in Annex I, originating in the United Arab Emirates, may only be put into free circulation  subject to prior Community surveillance.

The import document referred to in paragraph 1 above is issued automatically, free of charge  and for any quantity requested within a maximum of five working days following receipt of a  declaration addressed to the competent national authorities by any Community importer, regardless  of his place of business in the Community. 3.
