on retrospective Community surveillance of imports and exports of certain iron and steel products covered by the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community originating in certain non-member countries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 74 thereof,

Whereas, by Decision No 588/80/ECSC (1), as last amended by Decision No 42/85/ECSC (2), the Commission instituted a retrospective Community monitoring system for imports into and exports from the Community of certain iron and steel products covered by the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community;

Whereas the reasons which originally led the Commission to introduce this measure are still valid,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Imports into the Community of the iron and steel products specified in Annex I originating in the non-member countries specified in Annex II, and Community exports of those products to the non-member countries specified in Annex III, shall be subject to retrospective Community surveillance.

Article 2

1. The Member States shall notify the Commission, within the first 10 days of each month, of:

(a) the quantities, expressed in tonnes, imported during the last month but one preceding such notification;

(b) the prices per tonne of the products imported, calculated on the basis of cif free-at-frontier prices.

2. The information supplied by Member States shall include:

(a) a breakdown by product (Common Customs Tariff subheading and NIMEXE code), with separate entries for seconds and substandard products;

(b) a breakdown by country of origin;

(c) within the total of any one product originating in any one country, the quantities not imported directly from that country, and, in that case, a breakdown by country of consignment, such information to be supplied as soon as it becomes available;

(d) the quantities in tonnes of each product re-exported from the Community in the unaltered state after contract processing.

3. For the purposes of this Decision, the country of consignment is deemed to be the last intermediate non-member country in which the product in question was the subject of 'entrepôt' operations or legal transactions not connected with its transportation.

Article 3

1. The Member States shall notify the Commission, within the first 10 days of each month, of:

(a) the quantities, expressed in tonnes, exported during the last month but one preceding such notification;
