On the basis of the data published by the United States Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the Community is calculated at USD 16,31 million.
(3) Since the level of nullification or impairment and consequently of suspension has decreased, the products of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 which were added in 2006 and 2007 to the list in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 should be removed first from the list in Annex I to that Regulation.

(5) To make sure that there are no delays in the customs clearance of goods removed from the scope of the 15 % ad valorem additional import duty, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.
