PRODUCTS SUBMITTED TO PRIOR COMMUNITY SURVEILLANCE

on the introduction of a prior surveillance system for imports of certain textile products originating in Albania, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Latvia and the Republic of Lithuania

PRODUCTS FROM ECONOMIC OUTWARD PROCESSING TRAFFIC AND SUBMITTED TO PRIOR COMMUNITY SURVEILLANCE

Whereas the system of prior surveillance provided for by this Regulation does not affect the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/82 of 30 June 1982 on common rules for imports from State-trading countries nor of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 of 14 November 1983 on import arrangements for products originating in State-trading countries, not liberalized at Community level;

continuing and amending prior Community surveillance of imports of certain iron and steel products originating in certain third countries

Imports of products listed in Annex I to this Regulation shall be subject to prior Community surveillance carried out in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 3.

By Regulation (EC) No 76/2002 5 of 17 January 2002, the Commission introduced prior Community surveillance of imports of certain iron and steel products originating in third countries.

Moreover, so as not to introduce unnecessary constraints and not to disturb excessively the activities of companies close to the borders, it is desirable to exclude imports of small quantities from the scope of the prior community surveillance.

Therefore, the interests of the Community require that imports of certain steel products should continue to be subject to prior Community surveillance in order to provide advanced statistical information permitting rapid analysis of import trends.

Whereas the products in respect of which the quota is abolished by this Regulation should, however, be subject to prior Community surveillance, in order to ensure adequate monitoring of the volume and prices of the imports of the products concerned;

Therefore, the Commission concludes that, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3285/94 and Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 519/94, a system of a priori surveillance should continue in relation to imports of certain steel products which are destined for export to the Community.

The release for free circulation in the Community of iron and steel products covered by the ECSC and the EC Treaties listed in Annex 1 shall be subject to prior Community surveillance in accordance with Articles 11 and 12 of Regulation (EC) No 3285/94 and Articles 9 and 10 of Regulation (EC) No 519/94. This applies to imports originating in all non-member countries.

Whereas, pending the conclusion of bilateral agreements on trade in textile products with Albania and the Baltic republics, provision should be made for prior Community surveillance of imports of certain such products, including those subject to economic outward processing operations; whereas, in this case, release for free circulation of the products in question should be subject to presentation of a standardized import document; whereas this document must be issued by the authorities of the Member States within a certain time limit following a declaration or simple request of the importer; whereas this import document may be used only pending a change in the import arrangements;

Any transaction shall require the prior authorization of the competent surveillance authority, as provided for in Article 56 of the Agreement, subject to the provisions of paragraph 3 of this Article, if it has in itself the direct or indirect effect of bringing about within the territory covered by the Agreement, as a result of action by any person or undertaking or group of persons or undertakings, a concentration between undertakings at least one of which is covered by Article 3, which may affect trade between Contracting Parties, whether the transaction concerns a single product or a number of different products, and whether it is effected by merger, acquisition of shares or parts of the undertaking or assets, loan, contract or any other means of control.
