COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 235/86
of 31 January 1986
introducing Community surveillance of imports of video tape recorders originating in South Korea
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having consulted the committee set up under the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas, according to information currently available, imports of video tape records falling within subheading 92.11 B of the Common Customs Tariff and corresponding to NIMEXE code 92.11-91 and 99 originating in South Korea could reach a relatively high level in 1986 and account for a considerable share of the Community market;
Whereas the first imports have taken place at prices much lower than Community market prices;
Whereas, combined with the imports originating in Japan already under surveillance (2), the imports in question are likely to have a depressive effect on the Community video tape recorder industry's level of prices and financial results, thereby injuring the Community producers of like competing products;
Whereas, in these circumstances, it is in the Community's interest to introduce Community surveillance of these imports,
