Whereas the disparities which exist in the commercial policy measures applied in connection with these products by the Member States are causing deflection of trade, thereby preventing the execution of those commercial policy measures which are in force because of the difficult economic situation in the sector concerned; Whereas, according to information supplied by the Italian Government, this industry, which is particular to certain economically unfavourable regions in southern Italy, faces a serious crisis which is caused both by the state of the market and the structure; Whereas the imports which gave rise to the application submitted would appear likely, in view of the substantial volume of the imports, to aggravate these difficulties;
Whereas it is not possible to set in motion rapidly the machinery for bringing about the necessary cooperation from the other Member States; Whereas authorization should accordingly be given for the application of protective measures under the first paragraph of Article 115, subject to the conditions laid down in Commission Decision 71/202/EEC of 12 May 1971 [1], and in particular Article 1 thereof, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 The Italian Republic is authorized not to apply Community treatment to the products indicated below, where they originate in Brazil and are in free circulation in the other Member States, and in respect of which applications for import licences were lodged after 15 October 1978 and are, at the date of this Decision, pending with the Italian authorities:
