Please note

This page contains a limited version of this dossier in the EU Monitor.

In the proposal for a Council Decision on a Community Position concerning a Decision of the EC – the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Stabilisation and Association Council amending Protocol 2 on steel products to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement, the Commission proposes to abolish the double-checking system for the imports of certain steel products from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia into the Community.

Where the Stabilisation and Association Council would take such a decision, the present proposal would implement that Decision as far as the Community is concerned. As the Stabilisation and Association Council Decision it should enter into force on [1 January 2008].

The Council is therefore invited to approve the attached proposal.
