With reference to Article 21 of Council Regulation (EC) No

and Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC)

deemed necessary to examine the effects of
the safeguard
measure imposed on imports of certain prepared or preserved
citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) by Commission Regu-
lation (EC) No 658/2004 of 7 April 2004 as well as to deter-
mine whether and in what manner it would be appropriate to
accelerate the pace of liberalisation, and ascertain whether the
application of the measure is still necessary. In this context the
Commission will also have regard to the steps taken by the
Community producers by way of restructuring.

2. Procedure

Commission will send questionnaires to the producers of the
product concerned in the Community and to their associations;
the product

concerned;
to any association of exporters/producers and
importers of the product concerned that cooperated in the
investigation and whose names are mentioned in Regulation
658/2004.
