Whereas the abovementioned Decision requires Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of the imports concerned;
Whereas the Portuguese Government has submitted an application to the Commission for such authorization in respect of motor-cycles originating in Japan falling under Common Customs Tariff heading No ex 87.09, NIMEXE code 87.09-10;
Whereas Portugal maintains quantitative restrictions on imports of the products in question because of the economic difficulties facing the sector concerned in Portugal;
Whereas, as a result, there are differences in the conditions governing the import of these products into the Member States and these differences are capable of causing deflections of trade;
Whereas the Portuguese authorities have pointed out that, as a result of the abolition between Portugal and the Community of all quantitative restrictions and measures having equivalent effect concerning the movement of the products in question, there is a risk of trade in products originating in Japan being deflected through the other Member States towards Portugal; whereas such deflections are capable of aggravating the continuing difficulties affecting the sector concerned in Portugal thus putting at risk achievement of the objectives of the abovementioned trade measures;
Whereas the Commission has examined the application of the Portuguese Government and this examination has shown that Portugal should be authorized to introduce intra-Community surveillance of motor-cycles originating in Japan and put into free circulation in the other Member States;
Whereas, to this end, Portugal should be authorized until 31 December 1986, to make imports of motor-cycles originating in Japan subject to the issue, in accordance with the procedures described in Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC, of an import document,
