of 30 March 1984
on arrangements for imports into the Benelux countries of certain textile products originating in China
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3061/79 of 20 December 1979 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in China (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 109/84 (2), and in particular Article 11 (4) and (5) thereof,
Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 3061/79 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into the Benelux countries of certain textile products (category 29) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in China have exceeded or are liable to exceed the level referred to in paragraph 3 of the said Article 11;
Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11, China was notified of a request for consultations; whereas quantitative limits have been placed provisionally on the products in question pending the outcome of those consultations;
Whereas the products in question exported from China between 1 January 1984 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,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, imports into the Benelux countries of the categories of products originating in China and specified in the Annex hereto shall be subject to the quantitative limits set out in that Annex.
Article 2
1. Products as referred to in Article 1, shipped from China to the Benelux countries before the date of entry into force of this Regulation and not yet released for free circulation shall be so released subject to the presentation of a shipment certificate proving that shipment actually took place before that date.
2. All quantities of products shipped from China on or after 1 January 1984 and released for free circulation shall be deducted from the quantitative limits laid down. These provisional limits shall not, however, prevent the importation of products covered by them but shipped from China before the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until the entry into force of a Regulation establishing definitive quantitative limits following the current consultations.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 30 March 1984.
