Uruguay Round: common rules for imports (repeal. Regulation (EC) No 518/94)

Parliament approved the Commission's proposal, subject to the nine modifications it had introduced. The aims of these amendments were as follows: - to ensure that the workers concerned were consulted when assessing the Community interest; - to provide for the consultation of workers' representative associations when determining the Community interest; - to specify that the Commission, following a call for intervention by a Member State, should give its opinion on the introduction of a Community investigation procedure, and on the adoption of control and/or provisional protection measures, within the following five days; - to lay down the procedure to be followed for determining the Community interest; - to ensure that the Commission submits each year to Parliament and the Council a report on the measures which were applicable to the protection against subsidized imports from countries which were not members of the European Union; - to set the date of entry into force of the Regulation for 1.01.1995. �
