Article 1

The Commission may accept a proposal for a modified undertaking increasing the volume of imports subject to the undertaking accepted by its Decision 94/202/EC as regards imports of silicon carbide originating in Russia. Any such increase shall be calculated by using the same calculation method that was used when the original ceiling was calculated for the Community of 15 Member States. The original ceiling was calculated and established for each subsequent year in the second half of the current year as a proportion of the Community consumption on the basis of the year previous to the current year.

The Commission may modify the undertaking accordingly.
