COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1094/82

of 7 May 1982

making the importation of certain textile products originating in Turkey subject to quantitative limitation

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1842/71 of 21 June 1971 (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Having regard to the formal request submitted by France after consultation within the Advisory Committee established by Article 3 of that Regulation,

Whereas imports of textile products on the Community market have during recent years given rise to market disturbance and are causing serious damage to Community producers resulting in the closure of factories and considerable loss of employment;

Whereas in consequence of this situation, imports of certain textile products originating in the majority of low-cost supplier countries are at present subject to a Community system of authorization and quantitative limitation;

Whereas imports into France of T-shirts originating in Turkey in the first three months of 1982 have already reached 145 % of imports in 1981, which represents an increase of 620 % compared with the same period in 1981;

Whereas the extremely rapid increase in recent months of imports into France of T-shirts originating in Turkey have helped to exacerbate the cumulative disturbance of that market;

Whereas the volume of this increase makes it necessary to take immediate action aimed at avoiding irreparable damage to French producers and a serious deterioration in the economic situation of that region of the Community; whereas it therefore justifies the adoption, pursuant to Article 60 of the Additional Protocol to the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Turkey, of the protective measures needed to overcome these difficulties,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article1¶

1. The importation into France of the category 4 textile products listed in the Annex, originating in Turkey, shall be suspended until 15 October 1982.

2. The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply to products which have been placed on board and are in the course of shipment to the Community before the entry into force of this Regulation.

3. The entry into free circulation in the other Member States of the textile products referred to in paragraph 1 remains subject to the presentation of the import document provided for in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79 (2).

Article2¶

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall be applicable until 15 October 1982.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 7 May 1982.
