   in  the preceding           month. The system                of surveillance will                 require      diligent

   Party    on Economic T a r i f f            Problems, e i t h e r at the request                    of a   Member
   State    o r upon t h e Commission's                  initiative.        The aim o f these               consultations
   would    be t o e x a m i n e ,     case      by c a s e ,   the reintroduction or not of the
   leveying      of customs           duties      applicable to third               countries           once t h e   ceiling
   is  actually          reached.
   Monthly      returns       would      still     be made i n r e s p e c t        of imports           of the     product

   Council      upon t h e Commission.
   In these      condifbns          the Commission             would   be a b l e ,     within the shortest
