of 11 December 1989
introducing retrospective surveillance of the reimportation after outward processing of certain textile products originating in Malta, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3365/89 (2), and in particular Articles 10 and 14 thereof,
After consulting the committee set up by Article 5 of that Regulation,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1884/89 (4), makes imports of certain textile products originating in certain third countries, among which Malta and Turkey, subject to Community surveillance arrangements;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2985/89 (5), makes imports of certain textile products originating in Tunisia and Morocco subject to retrospective Community surveillance;
Whereas products reimported into the Community after outward processing were excluded from the surveillance measures, provided prior authorization had been issued pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 636/82 of 16 March 1982 establishing economic outward processing arrangements applicable to certain textile and clothing products reimported into the Community after working or processing in certain third countries (6), as amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal;
Whereas experience has shown that up-to-date information is needed on the development of trade flows for certain particularly sensitive products under the outward processing arrangements, so that the necessary measures can be taken in the event of disturbance of the Community market;
Whereas, in order to secure such information, specific retrospective Community surveillance measures should be introduced for such imports; whereas, in respect of some products, such surveillance should apply only to imports into particular regions of the Community;
Whereas this surveillance system shall be without prejudice to the transitional measures adopted by virtue of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal with regard to certain third countries,
Reimportation into the Community after outward processing within the meaning of the relevant Community economic outward processing rules of the products listed in the Annex shall, in respect of the third countries and Member States listed in the Annex, be subject to specific retrospective surveillance measures.
Member States shall transmit to the Commission by the 20th of the month following the month of importation, particulars of such imports expressed in units broken down by category, combined nomenclature (CN) code and country of origin.
The provisions of this Regulation shall be without prejudice to the transitional measures adopted by virtue of the Act of Accession of Portugal and Spain with regard to certain third countries.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
