CONTINUE TO FULFIL ORDERS FROM GERMAN DISTRIBUTORS FOR RIGHT-HAND DRIVE VEHICLES , BUT ONLY FOR AN AGGREGATE NUMBER OF VEHICLES LIMITED , AS A TEMPORARY MEASURE , TO THE LEVEL INDICATED ABOVE .
16 IT APPEARS NEVERTHELESS APPROPRIATE IN THAT RESPECT TO DRAW A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE VARIOUS KINDS OF RIGHT-HAND DRIVE VEHICLES REFERRED TO IN THE CIRCULAR OF 27 APRIL 1982 . IT IS APPARENT FROM THE STATEMENTS MADE DURING THE HEARING THAT FORD BRITAIN DOES NOT PRODUCE CAPRI AND GRANADA MODELS OR THE ESCORT GHIA AND ESCORT XR3 MODELS WHICH IT PURCHASES ONLY FROM FORD WERKE AG . IT MAY BE REASONABLY CONSIDERED THAT THE EFFECT OF PARALLEL IMPORTS OF THOSE VEHICLES OR TYPES OF VEHICLES WILL BE A MATTER OF LESS CONCERN THAN THE IMPORTATION OF VEHICLES OF THE KINDS PRODUCED BOTH BY FORD BRITAIN AND FORD WERKE AG . THAT VIEW MUST IN ANY CASE BE UPHELD IN THE CASE OF THE CAPRI AND GRANADA MODELS .
17 MOREOVER , THE COMMISSION ADMITTED IN THE COURSE OF THE HEARING THAT IT IS AT LEAST DOUBTFUL WHETHER THE DELIVERY OF RIGHT-HAND DRIVE VEHICLES CONSTRUCTED TO BRITISH SPECIFICATIONS WAS INCLUDED IN THE SALES PROGRAMME REFERRED TO IN THE HAUPTHANDLER-VERTRAG . IT IS THEREFORE APPROPRIATE TO SUSPEND IN ITS ENTIRETY THE OPERATION OF THE CONTESTED DECISION AS REGARDS THAT CATEGORY OF VEHICLES , ON THE UNDERSTANDING , HOWEVER , THAT IF FORD WERKE AG WERE TO DECIDE TO CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE RIGHT-HAND DRIVE VEHICLES CONSTRUCTED TO BRITISH SPECIFICATIONS BUT TO TERMINATE PRODUCTION OR DELIVERY OF THOSE SAME VEHICLES OR MODELS CONSTRUCTED TO GERMAN SPECIFICATIONS , IN ORDER TO AVOID THE EFFECTS OF THIS ORDER , IT WOULD LAY ITSELF OPEN TO THE CHARGE OF HAVING FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER .
18 IT IS THEREFORE APPROPRIATE :
( A ) TO SUSPEND THE OPERATION OF ARTICLE 1 OF THE COMMISSION DECISION OF 18 AUGUST 1982 ( IV/30.696 - DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM OF FORD WERKE AG - INTERIM MEASURE ) IN SO FAR AS IT REQUIRES FORD WERKE AG TO DELIVER RIGHT-HAND DRIVE VEHICLES , CONSTRUCTED TO BRITISH SPECIFICATIONS , IN THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY , EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THE INTERMEDIARY OF ITS GERMAN DISTRIBUTORS , OR TO EXECUTE ORDERS PLACED BY THE LATTER ;
( B)TO MAINTAIN THE OPERATION OF THE SAID PROVISION AS REGARDS THE REQUIREMENT THAT FORD WERKE AG SHALL EXECUTE ORDERS PLACED BY ITS GERMAN DISTRIBUTORS IN THE SAME CONDITIONS AS PRIOR TO 1 MAY 1982 FOR RIGHT-HAND DRIVE VEHICLES , CONSTRUCTED TO GERMAN SPECIFICATIONS , OF FIESTA , ESCORT , TAUNUS , CAPRI AND GRANADA MODELS OR OF OTHER MODELS INCORPORATED IN THE SALES PROGRAMME TO WHICH THE HAUPTHANDLER-VERTRAG RELATES , SO , HOWEVER , THAT THE SCOPE OF THAT REQUIREMENT SHALL BE RESTRICTED INASMUCH AS IT SHALL BE LIMITED TO A TOTAL ANNUAL DELIVERY OF 4 800 VEHICLES AND THAT THE 4 800 VEHICLES SHALL BE DISTRIBUTED AMONGST THE VARIOUS MODELS IN PROPORTIONS SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME AS PRIOR TO 27 APRIL 1982
