COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3753/91  of 19 December 1991  re-establishing the levying of customs duties on products falling within CN code 2941 20 10, originating in China, to which the preferential tariff arrangements set out in Council  Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 apply
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas, purusant to Article 1 of that Regulation, customs duties on certain products originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III are totally suspended, and the products as such are, as a general rule, subject to statistical  surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 8;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 8, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties  may be re-established, once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered is equal, as a general rule, to 6,3 % of the total importations into the  Community, originating from third countries in 1988;
Whereas, in the case of products falling within CN code 2941 20 10, originating in China, the reference base is fixed at ECU 222 000; whereas that reference base was reached on 18 July 1991 by charges of imports into the Community of the products in  question originating in China; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties  for the products in question must be re-established with regard to China,
