                                                COMMISSION DECISION
                                                   of 12 December 1990
               amending Decision 90/459/ECSC authorizing the Member States to institute
               intra-Community surveillance of the importation for home use of certain iron
               and steel products originating in certain third countries and covered by the
               Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community and in free
                                              circulation in the Community
                                                        (90/661 /ECSC)
               THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
               Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in
               particular the third paragraph of Article 71 thereof,
               Whereas by Decision 90/459/ECSC (') the Commission authorized the Member States to
               institute surveillance of imports of certain ECSC iron and steel products originating in
               third countries and in free circulation in the Community ;
               Whereas this measure complements commercial policy measures, in particular those
               designed to preserve traditional trade flows, that govern the direct importation of iron and
               steel products into the Community ; whereas the list of third countries of origin of the
               products under surveillance must now be extended to take account of changes in the
               economic and commercial conditions of manufacture and export of iron and steel
               products in certain third countries ; whereas such changes have taken place in the Soviet
               Union ; whereas this country should therefore be added to the list of countries of origin of
               iron and steel products subject to surveillance, for Member States that have not had such
               authorization hitherto,
                HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION :
                                                           Article 1
               The Soviet Union is hereby added to the list of third countries of origin annexed to
               Commission Decision 90/459/ECSC in the section relating to Denmark, Spain, France,
               Ireland, Greece, Portugal and the United Kingdom .
                                                           Article 2
               This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
                It shall apply until 31 December 1990.
                Done at Brussels, 12 December 1990 .

                                                                           Frans ANDRIESSEN
