COMMISSION DECISION of 29 July 1987 derogating from High Authority recommendation No 1-64 concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (129th derogation) (87/438/ECSC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 71, third paragraph thereof, Having regard to High Authority recommendation No 1-64 of 15 January 1964 to the Governments of the Member States concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (1), as last amended by recommendation No 81/772/ECSC (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof, Whereas Germany and Benelux have shown the existence of exceptional and temporary difficulties in obtaining supplies for their electro-mechanical industry on the Community market with special sheet for the manufacture of transformers and similar appliances; whereas such difficulties, which seemed likely to come to an end in mid-1987, are still prevalent but seem capable of being solved by the end of the year 1987; Whereas by Decision No 87/364/ECSC (3) the Commission authorized Germany and Benelux to import duty-free from third countries certain quantities of special sheet during the period 1 January to 30 June 1987 and it is now appropriate to extend the operation of this Decision until 31 December 1987; Whereas this exceptional import is justified for the reasons of commercial policy provided for in Article 3 of recommendation No 1-64; whereas the Commission may therefore grant a derogation from the said recommendation; Whereas the Governments of the Member States have been consulted on the abovementioned request, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
