COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3559/89

of 28 November 1989

re-establishing the levying of customs duties on aluminium plates, sheets and strips, of a thickness exceeding 0,2 mm, falling within CN code 7606, originating in Venezuela, to which the preferential tariff arrangements set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No 4257/88 apply

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4257/88 of 19 December 1988 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1989 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 15 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 4257/88, duties on certain products originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III thereto shall be totally suspended and the products as such shall, as a general rule, be subject to statistical suveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 14;

Whereas, as provided for in Article 14, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, causes or threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be re-established once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered shall be, as a general rule, equal to 6 % of the total importations into the Community originating from third countries in 1987;

Whereas, in the case of aluminium plates, sheets and strips, of a thickness exceeding 0,2 mm, falling within CN code 7606, originating in Venezuela, the reference base is fixed at ECU 8 288 000; whereas, on 22 August 1989, imports of these products into the Community originating in Venezuela reached the reference base in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties in respect of the products in question against Venezuela,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
