table>(1)The Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part, established in Protocol 2 on steel products a double-checking system, without quantitative limits, for the import into the Community of steel products originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
(2)The double-checking system was implemented by Regulation (EC) No 152/2002 of 21 January 2002 concerning the export of certain ECSC and EC steel products from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to the European Community (double-checking system) (1).

(3)By its Decision 1/2007 of 20 December 2007 (2) the EC — the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Stabilisation and Association Council amended Protocol 2 on steel products with the effect of abolishing the double-checking system. Regulation (EC) No 152/2002 should therefore be repealed,
