     87 /456/ BCSC .
4.   The draft Decision joins d hereto has as its objective :
     -    to establish the æilings to ba applied in 1986 for imports of
          ærtain steel products originating in Yigoslavia ,

5. Implémentation of tnase two rreasures :
   ( a ) annual œilings , and
   ( D ) re introduction of custcms duties ,
   implies the adaption of precise carman rules to be applied uniformly
   Dy all      Member  States .    TVesa   requirements    may be    tret  Dy  tre
   establishment      of  a   Canmunity   system   of   surveillanoe    of  actual
   imports from the partner country ,        lb this end , the Member States
   should take appropriate measures to permit the rapid collection of
   statistical returns at Canmunity level .           In this connection it is
   necessary to taka        into account only inports of tie products            in
   question as and wren they are entered with Customs authorities for
   free      circulation    and  accompanied     by   a   movement    certificate
   conforming to the rules contained in the Agreement referred to under
   1 above .
   These returns should be drawn up by each Member State at the end of
   every month and forwarded by the fifteenth day of tre following
   month to the Commission so as to enable tre latter to communicate to
   all tre Nfemter States the overall , product-by-product returns for
   the imports in question in the preaeeding month .              Tre system of
   surveillance will require diligent and close co-operation between
   tie responsible departments of the Member States and the Conmissicn .
6. The following system would be adopted for setting in train machinery
   to reintroduce duties : if one of the overall monthly returns drawn
   up by the Commission revealed that 75 % of the ceiling fixed for a
   given product had teen reached , consultations could be held ,               for
   example in the working Party on Economic Tariff Problems , either at
   the request of a Member State or ipcn tne Commission 's initiati\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 to third countries once the ceiling is actually reached .
   Monthly returns would still be made in respect of imports of the
   product in question or , if requested by the Commission , by telex at
   intervals of ten days .       TVB maximum delay for tie transmission of
   this last mentioned information is five days .

7.   As far as application of the rule on œilings and réintroduction of
     duties  is  aonœmed ,   the  drafts maka   provisions    for conferring
     povers of the Oouncil upon the Cormdssicn .
     In these conditions the Ccmnission would be able within the shortest
     possible time , either to take measures Leading to the re introduction
     of customs duties in respect of the partner country until' the end of
     the caLendar year , or to coordinate tie necessary procedures in the
     case of tie initiative being taken by a Nferrber State .
     The  draft Decision does   no more  than outline  in  broad   terms how
     these powers are to be exercised so that , the machinery to be
     established may be adopted flexibly and rapidly ,             in close
     collaboration with the Ntember States .
