COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1245/87
of 4 May 1987
introducing temporary Community surveillance prior to importation of certain products originating in Japan
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), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1243/86 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultation within the Committee set up under the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas on 17 April 1987 the Government of the United States decided to impose a customs duty of 100 % on imports from Japan of certain types of personal computers, colour televisions and electric hand tools;
Whereas those measures are likely to lead to changes in traditional patterns of trade involving an increase in exports to the Community;
Whereas the imports concerned are such as to have a depressive effect on the price level and on the financial performance of the Community industry and are thus likely to cause injury to Community producers of like and competing products;
Whereas therefore it is in the Community interest to introduce a Community surveillance of those imports, in order to gather information as soon as possible on the trend therein;
Whereas, taking into consideration the reasons for the adoption of this measure, it is appropriate to provide for a period of application of six months, subject to review prior to its expiration,
