TO :, TEEL
THE COMMISSION OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel COMB unity,
and In partioular Artiolee 58 and 95t
Whereas the Community has adopted a series of common internal rules intended
to help the steel industry to restruoture in sooially acceptable condition*,
and in particular for oertain products a system of production quotas based
on Article 58 of the ECSC Treaty, the tightenin^-up ef the rules relating
to non-discriminatory practices and prices and their extension to include
certain dealers pursuant to Artioles 60, 63 and 95 of the ECSC Treaty and
establishment of Community rules oa aid pursuant to Artiole 95$
Whereas
                           the United States has taken a series of measures
relating to imports of steel products from tho Community ; whereas those
mt-inureT aro liablo to affect the smooth functioning of the abovementioned
cc.i::on rules ; whcreu.3 the imposition of anti–dumping duties , countervailing
duties and other measures relating to imports are such as to divert considerable
quantities from their traditional American markets to other markets , including
the Community market ; whereas this would have an adverse effect on the common
rules and in particular the quota system , Mould disturb the balance achieved
with difficulty in trade with third countries and would affect the smooth
functioning of the other Community aeavuros taken to improve the situation
i* the Community steel industry;

   Whereas th«s Commission therefore opened negotiations with the United
    biate :. o ? America following the Council Decision of 24 July
   criminating on 6 August 1982 in the text of an arrangement whereby the petitions 3
the American industry wouM be withdrawn and the measures taken by the United States
Admi n i st r at i on would be terminated in return for the restriction
    of Corjnunity exports , and the text of an exchange of letters which the
    parties u^rocd to recommend that their respective authorities approve ;
   vhcreao the Community should therefore conclude such an arrangement with
   ths United Statea :
   Wherea3 , moreover , in order to attain , in the context of the functioning
   of the common market for steel , the objectives of the Treaty and in particular
   those set out in the second paragraph of Article 2 and in Article 3 » and in
   particular in Article 3(f) in the light of the economio situation and of
   the measures relating to Community exports to the United States market , it
   would appear to be neoeasary for the Community to conclude and iapl«n«nt
   the aboveaentioned arrangement )
   Whereas the Treaty , and in partioular Article 73 thereof, did not make
   provision for an integrated system of export restrictions and internal quotas
   such as that arising from the oonolusion of this arrangement by the Community !
   whereas in any event Artiole 73 » which relates only to the administration of
   licences , simply envisages the coordination of national measures , and this
   would appear to bo insuffloient to ensure the proper implementation of the
   arrangement |
   Having consulted the Consultative Committee and with the unanimous assent

      THE COMMISSION Of THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
      Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
      and in particular Article 58, and 95 first and second paragraphs thereof ;
      Whereas :
      1 . The Community has concluded an arrangement with the United States of America
          under which certain ant1-dump1ng , countervailing duty 8nd other investlqat ions
          are to be terminated and the amount of exports to the U.S.A. of certain steel
          products originating in the Community are>to be limited to certain levels over a
ertaln period (" the Arrangement "}; the conclusion jof such an arrangement helps to ensure
    the success of the various other measures taken by the Community with regard to
          the Community industry 1n the framework of the Community steel policy ;
          wh»*ri»its it is necessary , pursuant to this arrangement , to Introduce in the
          Community measures » v? restrict the amount of these steel products exported
          to the U.S.A. ;
      2 . Although the Treaty makes no exprtts provision for the Imposition by the
          Community of a limitation of exports of this nature , such a limitation 1s
          necessary for the attainment , 1n the functioning of the Common market in
          steel and in conformity with Article 5 of the Treat yf of objectives of the
          Community set out in Articles 2 , 3 and A ; whereas in particular the tjkini
          of this decision will help to avoid fundamental disturbances in Mi»mt>«T
          States' economies : in addition the objectives set out in Article 3 , and m
          particular in its paragraph Cf ), seen in the light of the economic situ * i f "
          and the US measures taken against Community exports , also necessitate the
          takinq of this decision ;
 ---pagebreak--- 3 . Under present market conditions orderly trade relations with the
      U.S.A. with respect to certain steel products can best be maintained , and
      a contribution made to the success of the various other measures of the
      Community steel poticy to restore the Community steel industry to a sound
      basis , by the introduction of restrictions on the amount of those products
      exported to the U.S. market ;
4 . In accordance with the Arrangement , the export restrictions cover steel
      products originating in the Community; the origin of these products is
      determined in accordance with applicable community legislation, that is
      to say Council Regulation ( EEC ) n° 802 / 68 of 27th June 1968 on the
      common definition of the concept of the origin of goods ( 1 ) as last
      amended by Regulation 1318/ 71 ( 2 );
5 . For practical and management reasons , the quantitative export limits
      agreed by the Community must be allocated between the Member States ;
      in order to do so, an allocation method must be established which
      /                                     _7; thereafter the Member States
      must share out the amounts allocated to them between undertakings in
      accordance with the objective criteria /                               _7;
6 . A utilisation of the Community limits based on allocations between
      Member States made in this way would seem to be in accordance with the
      Community nature of these limits, considering that in addition a Community
      reserve it to be established .

 ( 2 ) O.J. n° L 139 of 25th June 1971 , p. 6
 ---pagebreak---  7 . A Community reserve will allow certain effects of the allocation method to
     be corrected and ensure a maximum use of the export possibilities ;
 8. As foreseen in the Arrangement , measures must be taken to avoid abnormal
     concentrations at certain times in the exports to the USA ;
 9 . The Community steel policy aims in particular to allow the Community steel
     industry to adapt to the conditions of international competition ; considering
     on the one hand , the ,      links between the industry 's restructuring
     efforts and the needs to which the Arrangement responds , and on the other
     hand that the Arrangement is limited to products originating in the Community
     it is necessary to restrict the issue of export licences to steel producing
     undertakings only ; in order to take account of the interests of distributive
     undertakings it must be possible for these licences to be transferred not
     only to production undertakings but also to distributive undertakings ,
      in particular where the production undertakings decide to sell their
     products to such distributive undertakings ;
10 . It appears necessary , end for the moment sufficient , that the Member
     States ensure the respect of the various provisions of the regime by
     applying the various penalties provided for in their laws ;
11 . This decision does not prejudice any changes which may be made to the
      regime' which it establishes in cases where the application of the same
      leads to unforeseen difficulties .
After consultation of the Consultative Committee and with the unanimous assent
of the Council

               COUNCIL REGULATION            CONCERNING THE RESTRICTION   OF EXPORTS
    OF CERTAIN STEEL PRODUCTS TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
    THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
    Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
    in particular Article 113 ,
    Whereas       :
     I
        1 . The Community has concluded an arrangement with the United States of Africa         ^
             under which certain anti-dumping , countervailing duty and other Invest ioat ion *
             are to be terminated and the arnount of exports to the U.S.A. of certain Jt*f I
             products originating in the Community are to be limited to certain levels over a
certain period (" t^e Arrangement"); the conclusion of such an srrangment helot to *r v,r *
     the success of the various other measures taken by the Community with regard to
             the Community industry in the framework of the Community steel policy ;
             whf>r*«s it 1s ne'essary , pursuant to this arrangement , to introduce in the
             Community measures to restrict the amount of these steel products esported
             to the U.S . A. ;
      2 . Under present market conditions orderly trade relations with the
            U.S.A. with respoct to certain steel products can best be maintained , and
            a contribution made to the success of the various other measures of the
            Community steel policy to restore the Community steel industry to a sound
            basis , by the introduction of restrictions on the amount of those products
            exported to the U.S. market ;
 ---pagebreak--- 3 . In accordance with the Arrangement , the export restrictions cover steel
     products originating in the Community ; the origin of these products is
      determined in accordance with applicable community legislation, that is
      to say Council Regulation < EEC ) n° 802 / 68 of 27th June 1968 on the
      common definition of the concept of the origin of goods ( 1 ) as last
     amended by Regulation 1318 / 71 ( 2 );
4 . For practical and management reasons , the quantitative export limits
     agreed by the Community must be allocated between the Member States ;
     in order to do so, an allocation method must be established which
     /                                      _7; thereafter the Member States
     must share out the amounts allocated to them between undertakings in
     accordance with the objective criteria /                                _7;
5 . A utilisation of the Community limits based on allocations between
     Member States made in this way would seem to be in accordance with the
     Community nature of these limits, considering that in addition a Community
     reserve is to be established .
( 1 ) O.J. n° L 148 of 28th June 1968, p. 1 .
< 2 ) O.J. n° L 139 of 25th June 1971 - p. 6 .
 ---pagebreak--- A Community reserve will allow certain effects of the allocation method to
be corrected and ensure a maximum use of the export possibilities ;
As foreseen in the Arrangement measures must be taken to avoid abnormal
concentrations at certain times in the exports to the USA ;
The Community steel policy aims in particular to allow the Community steel
industry to adapt to the conditions of international competition ; considering
on the one hand , the       links between the industry 's restructuring
efforts and the needs to which the Arrangement responds , and on the other
hand that the Arrangement is limited to products originating in the Community
it is necessary to restrict the issue of export licences to steel producing
undertakings only ; in order to take account of the interests of distributive
undertakings it must be possible for these licences to be transferred not
only to production undertakings but also to distributive undertakings ,
in particular where the production undertakings decide to sell their
products to such distributive undertakings ;
It appears necessary , and for the moment sufficient , that the Member
States ensure the respect of the various provisions of the regime by
applying the various penalties provided for in their laws ;
 ---pagebreak---                                           - 4 -
          10 . In order to facilitate the application of the envisaged provisions ,
          it is appropriate to set up a procedure establishing a close cooperation
              between the Member States and the Commission in the framework of a
              Committee ; it is sufficient to this purpose to apply the procedure           . or
              set up in Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1023/ 70 of 20 May 1970 which
 '            established a common procedure for the administration of quantitative
              quotas ( 1 ).
r
   11 . This regV at ondoes not prejudice any changes which may be made to the
^       regime which it establishes in cases where the application of the same
        leads to unforeseen diff iculties .
   HAS ADOPTED THIS ; REGULATION
            Article 1
            1 . Community export limits are          established for the period
                  1st October 1982 to 31st December 1983 (" the Initial Period") and there­
