THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2072/84 of 29 June 1984 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in China (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4132/86 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2072/84 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into France of certain textile products (categories 15 B, 68 and 71), specified in the Annex hereto and originating in China have exceeded the levels referred to in paragraph 3 of the said Article 12;
Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2072/84, on 23 October 1987 China was notified of a request for consultations; whereas, pending a mutually satisfactory solution, the Commission has requested China for a provisional period of three months to limit exports to France of products of category 15 B at the level of 48 000 pieces, of category 68 at the level of 45,5 tonnes and of category 71 at the level of 16,75 tonnes, with effect from the date of notification of the request for consultations; whereas pending the outcome of the requested consultations quantitative limits identical to those requested of the supplier country should be applied provisionally to imports of the categories of products in question;
Whereas paragraph 13 of the said Article 12 ensures that the quantitative limits are observed by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 2072/84;
Whereas the products in question exported from China to the Community between 23 October 1987 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limits which have been introduced;
Whereas these quantitative limits should not prevent the importation of products covered by them shipped from China before the date of entry into force of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
