re-establishing the levying of customs duties on polypropylene in one of the forms mentioned in Note 3 (d) to Chapter 39, falling within subheading 39.02 C ex IV, originating in Mexico, to which the preferential tariff arrangements set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3562/84 apply
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3562/84 of 18 December 1984 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1985 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of that Regulation, duties on the products listed in Annex II originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III shall be totally suspended and the products as such shall, as a general rule, be subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 12; whereas, as provided for in Article 12, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, causes, or threatens to cause, economic difficulties in the Community or 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 shall be, as a general rule, 165 % of the highest maximum amount valid for 1980;
Whereas, in the case of polypropylene in one of the forms mentioned in Note 3 (d) to Chapter 39, falling within subheading 39.02 C ex IV, the individual ceiling was fixed at 543 400 ECU; whereas, on 18 April 1985, imports of these products into the Community, originating in Mexico, reached the reference base in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in the Community;
Whereas, it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties in respect of the products in question against Mexico,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
