              1 . The questionnaire applies to all steelworks in the Community.
              2. The month under consideration is the calendar month.
              3. The deliveries are for all products, Including those downgraded (such as non-prime products, plate and sheet cuttings and crop
                   ends) but not for Immediate remelting. The not delivered tonnages must be recorded taking the products in the state in which
                   they leave the works or the works' stockyard.
              4. Deliveries Include any Treaty products used to pack the products before dispatch.
             Main principles
              5. Deliveries must be reported In the main table (sections B, C, D or E), according to two basic principles:
                  (a) The deliveries to be recorded for a given month are those made for activities outside the ECSC steel industiy (i.e. to
                       consumers and stockholders in the Community and third country customers), either directly by the works making the return or
                       through a national stockyard belonging to the works or indirectly (see 5b). Transfers between works and their own national
                       stockyards must not be declared.
                  (b) The commercial principle
                      The delivery of a product Is declared by the works which receives the order and invoices the delivery to the customer placing
                       that order, even If another works dispatches the goods for the account of the invoicing works or if the goods are dispatched
                       by a jobber or subcontractor. The declaring works reports the delivery according to the actual destination of the goods.
             Special cases
              6. Steelworks own consumption and transfers to integrated shops outside the ECSC steel Industry.
                   Deliveries reported in the main table must include steelworks' own consumption (including repair and construction of new plants)
                  and deliveries to Integrated shops producing tubes, forcings, etc., including shops producing tyres, wheels and axles even if
                  those are rolled.
                  These deliveries must include those:
                  (a) from own production;
                  (b) from purchased material unless it has been verified that the supplying steelworks has already reported these quantities as
                      deliveries to the market.
              7. Sales to other ECSC steelworks
                  (a) Deliveries from one ECSC steelworks to another belonging to the same company and located in the same country must not
                       be declared.
                  (b) Ingots, semis and hot rolled wide strip
                      These products must be declared either:                                      i
                      (i) on section A of the questionnaire Insofar as it is known definitely that they have been delivered for rerolling, resale or
                           conversion (shearing, slitting or coating) to ECSC products, or
                      (ii) on sections B or C of the questionnaire if they have been delivered for the receiving steelworks' own consumption or
                           conversion to non-ECSC products unless the receiving works is known to report these quantities as deliveries to the
                            market, or It there is no precise Information about their intended use.
                  (c) Other products
                      These products must be declared either
                      (i) In the main table (sections C, D or E) If they have been delivered for the receiving steelworks own consumption or
                           conversion to non-ECSC produts, or If there Is no precise information about their intended use or,
                      (ii) in Annex III only If they have been delivered to an ECSC steelworks in another country for resale or conversion into other
                           ECSC products. In such cases the receiving steelworks becomes responsible for declaring the subsequent delivery to the
                           market.
              8. Deliveries to the order of and on account for another company as principal
                  (a) Principal an ECSC steelworks
                      The works which Invoices the delivery of the products to the customer outside the ECSC must declare the delivery In the main
                      table and, If the dispatching works is in another country, also in Annex I. The dispatching works must only declare the delivery
                      if the order was received from an ECSC steelworks In another country. In such cases the delivery must not be resported in the
                      main table but only in Annex II .

                  (b) In cases where the principal is an ECSC steelworks In another country;
                      (i) Products dispatched after jobbing must be declared by the jobber.
                           (aa) in Annex III If the products are returning to a works or a stockyard owned by the principal or to another EGSC .
                                steelworks,
                           (bb) in Annex II If the products are dispatched to any other destination.
                      (II) Products sold to the market after jobbing must be declared by the principal in the main table, whoever dispatches them,

                   for tinning, lacquering or printing. When destined for the manufacture of tlnplate, this material in widths less than 500 mm is also
                   considered as ECSC product.
              9. Tlnplate and tinned plates ami sheets
                   Tinplate is a cold rolled flat product of non-alloy low carbon steel, of thickness less than 0,50 mm and of any width coated with
                   tin either electrolytically or by hot dipping, whether or not varnished or printed.
                   Tinned sheets and plates are tin coated flat products of thickness 0,50 mm or more and of width 500 mm or more.
             10. ECCS (chromium/chromium oxide coated sheet and strip)
                   ECCS Is a cold rolled flat product of non-alloy low carbon steel, of thickness generally less than 0,50 mm, electrolytically coated
                   with chromium oxide or chromium and chromium oxide, the metal coating thickness being in general less than or equal to 0,05
                   micron. As for tinplate include both sheets in lengths or In coils of width 500 mm or more and strips less than 500 mm wide' even
                   though the latter are not ECSC products.
                   Include also varnished or printed ECCS.
             11 .   Other coated sheets
                    Excluded from these definitions are those coatings referred to in the definitions of blaekplate, tinplate, tinned sheets, ECCS, and
