EEC: Council Decision concerning a consultation procedure… Article 2

Article 2

Such prior consultations shall cover all the provisions of the agreements concerning commercial relations to be negotiated by Member States and any amendments to such agreements. Prior consultations shall also deal with cases of quota limits being exceeded and with any other imports authorised by a government body. In the case of liberalised products, the consultations shall also deal with any increases in imports which might cause a substantial increase in existing trade flows.
