COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2985/89
of 2 October 1989
introducing retrospective Community surveillance of imports of certain textile products originating in Tunisia or Morocco
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 last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2429/89 (2), and in particular Articles 10 and 14 thereof,
After consulting the Committee set up by Article 5 of that Regulation,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2417/82 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1568/87 (4), subjecting imports of certain textile products originating in Tunisia or Morocco to retrospective Community surveillance has expired;
Whereas the situation which led to the introduction of the said surveillance system still exists; whereas that system should therefore be renewed;
Whereas it is not necessary to extend surveillance to products being re-imported into the Community after outward processing provided they are accompanied by a form of prior authorization issued pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 636/82 of 16 March 1982 establishing outward processing arrangements applicable to certain textile and clothing products re-imported into the Community after working or processing in certain third countries (5);
Whereas this surveillance system shall be without prejudice to the transitional measures adopted by virtue of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal with regard to certain third countries,
