COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2774/94 of 14 November 1994 re-establishing the levying of the customs duties applicable to products falling within CN code 8544 originating in China, to which the preferential tariff arrangements of Council  Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 apply
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 of 20 December 1990 (1) applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries, extended for 1994 by Regulation (EC) No 3668/93  of 20 December 1993 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90, customs duties on certain products originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III are totally suspended from 1 July 1994 to 31 December 1994, and the products as  such are, as a general rule, subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 8;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 8, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary country, threatens to cause economic difficulties 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 is equal, as a general rule, to 6,615 % of the total importations into the  Community, originating from third countries in 1988;
Whereas, in the case of the product of the combined nomenclature code and origin indicated in the table below, the reference base is fixed at the levels indicated in that table:
"" ID="1">8544> ID="2">China> ID="3">9 972 500">
Whereas that reference base was reached on 11 September 1994 by charges of imports into the Community of the products in question originating in China; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of  the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties must be re-established for the products in question,
As from 19 November 1994, the levying of customs duties, suspended from 1 July 1994 to 31 December 1994 pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the products indicated in the  table below:
