This Regulation shall apply to imports of products mentioned in Article 2 originating in Albania and in the Baltic republics.  2. For the purposes of this Regulation, an 'originating product' shall be as defined by the relevant Community rules in force.

Article 2  1. Imports of products listed in Annex I to this Regulation shall be subject to prior Community surveillance carried out in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 3.  2. Paragraph 1 shall also apply to the products listed in Annex II that have been subject to outward processing operations in accordance with the relevant Community rules in force.  Article 3  1. The release for free circulation of products under Community surveillance shall be subject to presentation of an import document. This document shall be issued by the Member States, free of charge, for all quantities requested no later  than five working days after the lodging of a simple request by any Community importer in accordance with the national legislation in force, wherever he may be established in the Community.  2. The importer's request must indicate:  (a) the name and address of the importer;  (b) a description of the product, with reference to:  - the CN codes,  - the country of origin;  (c) the expected date(s) and place(s) of delivery.  3. For products subject to surveillance as provided for in Article 2, the Member States shall notify the Commission within the first 10 days of each month of the quantities and values for which import documents have been issued in the preceding month.  This information from the Member States shall be broken down by category of product and by country.  4. Where the nature of the products or particular circumstances so require, the Commission may, at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative, adjust the frequency with which information must be notified.  5. Where necessary, the Commission shall notify the Member States of trends in imports into the Community of products listed in Annex I.
