    yam spun er- Cr-fy from silk or silk waste (noil), not put up for retail
    sale . T’-'O t- *. ? quotas for 195S were opaosd by Regulations (EEC) No
    4034 /87 , No 4095/37 and No 4098/87 , all published in GT No L 385 of 31
    December 1987 .
2 . On 4 , 5 and 6 May the Economic Tariff Problems Group considered whether
    these tariff measures should be renewed for 1989 . It found that :
    (a) the requirements for imports from non-member countries in 1989 would
        be about the same as in 1988 ;
    (b) suspension of duties at the same levels as in 1988 would be
        acceptable to the Member States ;
    (c) as the following tables show , quota utilization in recent years has
        been so low that the quotas are no longer really protecting the
         Community silk producing industry , which is in any case very small ,
         especially since the duties applicable are very low (3.8% for raw
         silk , 4.9% for silk yarn and 2.9% for yarn spun from silk waste):
                                                                   (tonnes)

industry which produces the products in question and the availability of
