     5 ys<xrs having expired on 31 Marcn 1988. fending conclusion of an
     additional Rrotocol to t h i s Agreement, the Representatives of the
     Governments of the Member States have extended D / Decision
     (88/652/ECSC), the system provided for by Article 3 of the
     Agreement for the year 1990.
3.   Within the limits of these t a r i f f c e i l i n g s , the Kingdom of Spain and
     the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated
     according to Decision 87/603/ECSC of the Itepresentatives of the

5. Implementation of tnese two measures :
    (a) annual c e i l i n g s , and
   (D) réintroduction of customs duties,
   implies the adoption of precise common ruLes to be applied uniformly
   oy a l l Memcer States.             These requirements may be met Dy tne
   establishment of a Community system of surveillance of actual
   imports from the partner country. To this end, the Memcer States
   should tatae appropriate measures to permit the rapid col Lection of
   s t a t i s t i c a l returns at Ccmmunity l e v e l . In t h i s connection i t i s
   necessary to take into account only imports of the products in
   question as and wnen they are entered witn Customs authorities for
   free circulation and accompanied by a movement certificate
   conforming to Ut; rules contained in the Agreement referred to under
   1 above.
   These returns should be drawn up by eacn Memcer State at the end of
   every montn and forwarded by the fifteenth day of tne following
   month to the Ccmmission so as to enaoLe tne latter to comnunicate to
   a l l tne Member States the overall, product-by-product returns for
   the iirports in question in the precaeding month.                    Tne system of
   surveillance w i l l require diligent and close co-operation between
   the responsible departments of the Member States and the Comnission.
6. Tne following system would be adopted for setting in train machinery
   to reintroduce duties : i f one of the overall monthly returns drawn
   up by the Commission revealed that 75 % of the aeiling fixed for a
   given product had been reached, consultations could be held, for
   example in the working Ifcrty on Economic Tariff Problems, either at
    the request of a Member State or upon tne Commission's i n i t i a t i v e .
   The aim of these consultations would be to examine, case by case,
    the re introduction or not of the levying of customs duties
   applicable t o third countries once the c e i l i n g i s actually reached.
   Monthly returns would s t i l l be mace in respect of imports of the
   product in question or, i f requested by the Commission, by telex a t
    intervals of ten days. The maximum delay for tne transmission of
    this l a s t mentioned information i s five days.
                                                                                        I

    As far as application of the rule on ceilings and re introduction of
    duties i s concerned, the drafts make provisions for conferring
    powers of the Council upon the Ccnniissicn.
    In these conditions the Commission would be able within the shortest
    possible tine, either to take measures leading to the réintroduction
    of customs duties in respect of the partner country until" the end of
    tne calendar year, or to coordinate the necessary procedures in the
    case of the initiative being taken by a Member State.
    The draft Decision dees no more than outline in broad terms how
    these powers are to be exercised so that, tne machinery to be
    established may be adopted flexibly and rapidly, in close
    collaboration with the Member States.
