COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1251/95 of 29 May 1995 amending Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 on  protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113  thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas by Regulation (EC) No 3283/94  (1), the Council adopted rules on protection against dumped  imports from countries not members of the European Community;
Whereas Articles 5 (9), 6 (9) and 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 lay down time limits for the  initiation of investigations pursuant to a complaint lodged under Article 5 (9) and for certain  steps in the investigation; whereas however Article 24 of that Regulation provides that those time  limits shall only apply after a date which the Council shall specify in a Decision once the  necessary budgetary resources have been made available;
Whereas the necessary budgetary resources have now been made available to allow the Commission to  adhere to those time limits; whereas it appears appropriate that the time limits should apply to  proceedings initiated pursuant to complaints lodged on or after 1 September 1995;
Whereas for ease of reference it is desirable that this date should be inserted in Regulation (EC)  No 3283/94; whereas therefore an amendment should be made to that Regulation rather than a Decision  be adopted pursuant to Article 24 thereof,
The third sentence of Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 3283/94  shall be replaced by the following:
'The time limits prescribed by Articles 5 (9), 6 (9) and 7 (1) shall apply in respect of complaints  lodged pursuant to Article 5 (9) on or after 1 September 1995 and investigations initiated pursuant  to such complaints.`

Whereas Article 5 of the said Directive provides that the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, shall adopt the arrangements to apply from 1986 onwards;
Whereas it is appropriate to re-examine the summertime period from time to time and therefore for this purpose arrangements should be adopted covering 1986, 1987 and 1988;

Member States shall take the measures necessary to ensure that in each Member State the summertime period for 1986, 1987 and 1988 begins at 1 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time on the last Sunday in March.
Member States other than those in the zero (Greenwich) time zone shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the summertime period for 1986, 1987 and 1988 ends at 1 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time on the last Sunday in September, viz.:
