What Commission Decision No 1401/97/ECSC of 7 July 1997 on administering certain restrictions on imports of certain steel products from Ukraine requires
Commission Decision No 1401/97/ECSC, adopted on 7 July 1997 under the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, establishes the administrative framework for managing quantitative restrictions on imports of certain steel products originating in Ukraine into the European Community for the period 1997 to 2001. The Decision implements a bilateral agreement between the Community and Ukraine that establishes quantitative limits for the entry into free circulation of steel products, with a framework for the removal of such restrictions provided that certain conditions are met, including the establishment of equivalent disciplines in respect of competition, public aid, and environmental protection. The Decision applies to importers, Member State competent authorities, and the Commission, requiring that all imports of the listed steel products from Ukraine be subject to Community import licences issued by Member State authorities only upon prior confirmation from the Commission that quantities remain available within the relevant quantitative limit. A double-checking system of Ukrainian export licences and Community import authorizations is mandated, along with monthly statistical reporting obligations, anti-circumvention consultation procedures, and administrative cooperation mechanisms for origin verification. The Decision entered into force the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities and applies from 1 July 1997.
