COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1259/84
of 4 May 1984
to suspend temporarily the issuing of import documents in respect of certain textile products originating in Turkey
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1842/71 of 21 June 1971 (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee established by Article 3 of that Regulation,
Whereas imports of textile products on the Community market have during recent years given rise to market disturbance and are causing serious damage to Community producers resulting in the closure of factories and considerable loss of employment;
Whereas, in consequence of this situation, imports of certain textile products originating in the majority of low-cost supplier countries are at present subject to a Community system of authorization and quantitative limitation;
Whereas the quantities of products covered by import documents already issued in the first four months of 1984 under the surveillance system introduced in Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79 (2), as last amended and extended by Regulation (EEC) No 3580/83 of 15 December 1983 (3), already reached 120 % of the imports of cotton fabric (category 2) into the Community for the whole of 1983, 91 % of the imports of shirts (category 8) into France for the whole of 1983, 234 % of the imports of towels and towelling (category 9) into the United Kingdom for the whole of 1983 and 90 % of the quantities of products covered by import documents for the whole of 1983 for bed linen (category 20) into the Community;
Whereas the extremely rapid growth in recent months of imports into the Community of cotton fabric, shirts, towels and towelling originating in Turkey has contributed to aggravating the cumulative disruption of these markets and that, particularly, in 1982 and 1983, the Community was obliged to submit the import of cotton fabric and towels to Community or regional restraints;
Whereas this situation, in particular the volume of import documents already issued, makes it necessary to take immediate action in order to avoid irreparable injury to Community producers;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to adopt, pursuant to Article 60 of the Additional Protocol to the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Turkey, the protective measures needed to overcome these difficulties; whereas, however, such measures should initially be restricted to suspending temporarily the issuing of new import documents so that the latter's effects on the market situation can be assessed and any measures determined which ought subsequently to be applied,
The issuing of import documents provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79 is suspended for textile products originating in Turkey and the Member States listed in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until 15 July 1984.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
