(Only the Danish text is athentic)

(87/136/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Decision 80/47/EEC of 20 December 1979 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take in respect of imports of certain products originating in third countries and put into free circulation in another Member State (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,

Whereas Decision 80/47/EEC requires Member States to have prior authorization form the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of the imports of certain products originating in third countries and put into free circulation in another Member State;

Whereas, on 19 January 1987, request was made under Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC by the Danish Government to the Commission of the European Communities for authorization to apply intra-Community surveillance to imports of certain textile products originating in certain third countries and in free circulation in the other Member States;

Whereas the information given by the Danish authorities in support of this application has been subjected to close examination by the Commission, in accordance with the criteria laid down by Decision 80/47/EEC;

Whereas the Commission examined in particular whether the imports could be made subject to intra-Community surveillance measures under Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC, whether information was given as regards the economic difficulties alleged, whether during the reference years set out in Decision 80/47/EEC there had been deflection of trade and whether intra-Community licence applications had been submitted;

Whereas this examination has shown that there is a risk that the imports set out in the Annex hereto are worsening or prolonging the existing economic difficulties; whereas, therefore, Denmark should be authorized to make these imports subject to intra-Community surveillance until 31 December 1988,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Kingdom of Denmark is authorized to introduce, until 31 December 1988 and in accordance with Decision 80/47/EEC, intra-Community surveillance of the products set out in the Annex hereto.

Article 2
