COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1287/2002

of 15 July 2002

amending Annex 3 to Regulation (EC) No 560/2002 imposing provisional safeguard measures
against imports of certain steel products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3285/94 of 22
December 1994 on common rules for imports and repealing
Regulation (EC) No 518/94 (1), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 2474/2000 (2),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7
March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third
countries and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC)
No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 3420/83 (3), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 1138/98 (4),

After consultations with the Advisory Committee established
pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 3285/94 and Regu-
lation (EC) No 519/94 respectively,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 560/2002 (5),
as
amended by Regulation (EC) No 950/2002 (6), establishes
tariff quotas in relation to certain steel products,
in
excess of which additional duties require to be paid. The
Commission recalls that the amount of each tariff quota
is specified in Annex 3 to that Regulation, and that that
should have been calculated in a manner
amount
conforming to recitals 66 and 73 of that Regulation.

It has come to the attention of the Commission that
there has been a material error in the calculation of the
the tariff quota in relation to product
amount of
numbers 5 (cold rolled sheets), 6 (electrical sheets other

(3)

than GOES) and 10 (quarto plates). In each case, the
amount of the tariff quota should have been greater than
the amount which was specified.

The amount of the tariff quota for product 5 should be
1 114 158 tonnes instead of 935 630 tonnes; that for
product 6 should be 74 678 tonnes instead of 41 444
tonnes; and that for product 10 should be 706 964
tonnes instead of 700 446 tonnes. In consequence, it is
necessary to amend Annex 3 to that Regulation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The fourth column of Annex 3 to Regulation (EC) No 560/
2002, which specifies the amount (in tonnes) of each tariff
quota, is amended as follows:

— in relation to product 5, by substituting the number

‘1 114 158’ for ‘935 630’,

— in relation to product 6, by substituting the number

‘74 678’ for ‘41 444’,

— in relation to product 10, by substituting the number

‘706 964’ for ‘700 446’.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its
publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
