REGULATION (EEC) No 2123/75 OF THE COMMISSION  of 25 July 1975  establishing Community surveillance on the importation of certain processed fruit and vegetable products originating in state-trading countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 109/70 (1) of 19 December 1969 establishing common rules for imports from state-trading countries, and in particular Article 6 (1) (a), (b) and (c) thereof;
Having consulted the Committee mentioned in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 109/70;
Whereas quantitative restrictions on imports of a certain number of processed fruit and vegetable products, which have up to now been applied by the Member States of the Community, have been removed by Regulation (EEC) No 1927/75 (2) ; whereas the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 109/70 has been extended to cover these imports;
Whereas these imports, which could henceforth be effected in unlimited quantities, threaten to cause grave injury to Community producers of like or competing products, in view of the sensitivity of the market for these products and in view of the price levels at which they are imported;
Whereas in this situation Community surveillance of these imports, by means of the document mentioned in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 109/70, is necessary in the interests of the Community;
Whereas, having regard to the nature of these products and to the particular nature of the trade in them, it is appropriate to set a period of three months for the use of these documents and to provide, as an exceptional measure, that where they take the form of an import authorization, this may not be relied upon so as to escape the application of any protective measures which may be taken,
