*****COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 539/83  of 7 March 1983  making the importation of certain textile products originating in Turkey subject to quantitative limitation  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1842/71 of 21 June 1971 (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,  After consultation within the Advisory Committee established by Article 3 of that Regulation,  Whereas imports of textile products on the Community market have during recent years given rise to market disturbance and are causing serious damage to Community producers resulting in the closure of factories and considerable loss of employment;  Whereas, in consequence of this situation, imports of certain textile products originating in the majority of low-cost supplier countries are at present subject to a Community system of authorization and quantitative limitation;  Whereas the data already available concerning imports of cotton fabrics (category 2) and T-shirts (category 4) originating in Turkey into several regions of the Community show a rapid increase in these imports which contribute to a worsening of the cumulative disruption of these markets;  Whereas the quantities of products covered by import documents already issued in the first six weeks of 1983 under the surveillance system introduced in Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79 (2), as last amended and extended by Regulation (EEC) No 3521/82 (3), already reached 30 and 125 % respectively of the quantities of products covered by import documents issued in the whole of 1982 for categories 2 and 4;  Whereas the volume of this increase makes it necessary to take immediate action aimed at avoiding irreparable damage to Community producers; whereas it therefore justifies the adoption, pursuant to Article 60 of the Additional Protocol to the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Turkey, of the protective measures needed to overcome these difficulties;  Whereas these measures should initially be applied until 15 July 1983 so that the latters' effects on the market situation can be assessed and any measures determined which ought subsequently to be applied,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  1. The importation into the Community of the textile products in categories 2 and 4 listed in the Annex, originating in Turkey, shall be subject, until 15 July 1983, to the quantitative limits fixed in this same Annex.  2. The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply to products which have been placed on board and are in the course of shipment to the Community before the entry into force of this Regulation.  Article 2  This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.  It shall apply until 15 July 1983.  This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.  Done at Brussels, 7 March 1983.
