Notification under Article 7.3oftheAgreement
onImport Licensing Procedures
EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
Thefollowingnotification,dated29July1997,hasbeenreceivedfromthePermanentDelegation
oftheEuropean Communities.
_______________
Outline ofsystems
Question 1:Giveabriefdescription ofeachlicensing system asawhole and,withrespect toeach,
reply tothefollowing questions asrelevant, placing allofthematerial withrespect toagiven
system insequence together, andusing cross references asappropriate when elements which have
already been described arealsopresent inanother system.
TheCommunity import licensing system isbased onthepremise thatnoimport licences are
required except where specific products aresubject toquantitative restrictions, safeguard measures
orimportsurveillance.TheCommunityappliesnoquantitativequotastoWTOMembersintheindustrial
sector except forcertain products inthetextiles field. There arealsoanumber ofproducts subject
toCommunity surveillance withthepurpose ofstrengthening thecontrol ontheimport trends ofthe
products concerned.
Theobject oftheimport licensing system foragricultural products isthesound administration
ofmarket organization andtoserve statistical purposes. Theimport licensing system isanautomatic
licensing system. Import licences areissued bythecompetent authorities inthemember States toevery
applicant resident intheEuropean Community. Import licences aresubject toasecurity andtheyare
valid inallthemember States oftheEC. Import licences havetobesubmitted withtheimport
declaration.
Purpose andcoverage oflicensing
Question 2:Identify eachlicensing system maintained andstate what products, appropriately
grouped, arecovered.G/LIC/N/3/EEC/1

Textiles
Quantitative limits SeeAnnex III1SeeAnnex III1
Surveillance SeeAnnex VI1SeeAnnex VI1
Inthetextiles fieldtheCommunity applies twotypes ofsurveillance:
- Double-checking system;
- Single prior checking system.
Product andcountry coverage: SeeTables AandBtoAnnex IIIofRegulation 3030/93 (annexed
under Annex VI).
Regarding agricultural products seereply toquestion 1.Theagricultural products subject to
theimport licensing system arelisted inAnnex XI.Thesystem applies toimports from allthird
countries.
Tariff-ratequotasystemsarenotconsideredtobecoveredbytheAgreementonImportLicensing
Procedures since inthese cases licences arenot"aprior condition forimportation".
Question 4:Isthelicensing intended torestrict thequantity orvalue ofimports, andifnot,what
areitspurposes? Have alternative methods ofaccomplishing thepurposes beenconsidered and
ifsowhich? Why have theynotbeen adopted?
TheCommunity applies noquantitative quotas toWTO Members intheindustrial sector except
forcertain products inthetextiles fieldwhere thelicensing isintended torestrict thequantity and/or
value ofimports.
Thepurpose oftheimport licensing procedure forproducts under surveillance istostrengthen
thecontrol ontheimports oftextile products originating fromthecountry concerned, ingeneral, and,
more specific, tostrengthen thecontrol ontheorigin oftheproducts concerned.
Asregards agricultural products, thelicensing system isanautomatic licensing system. See
reply toquestion 1.

Question 5:Citethelaw,regulation and/or administrative order under which thelicensing is
maintained. Isthelicensing statutorily required? Doesthelegislation leave designation ofproducts
tobesubjected tolicensing toadministrative discretion? Isitpossible forthegovernment (or
theexecutive branch) toabolish thesystem without legislative approval?

trade representatives? Istheoverall amount published? Theamount allocated togoods
from eachcountry? Themaximum amount allocated toeachimporter? How torequest
anyexceptions orderogations from thelicensing requirement?
Bypublication of:
- theagreements, protocols orother arrangements ontrade intextile products between
theEuropean Community andthecountries concerned; and
- theRegulations asindicated under question 5.
II. How isthesizeofthequotas determined: onayearly, six-monthly orquarterly basis?
Arethere cases where thesizeofquota isdetermined onayearly basis butlicences are
issued forimports onasix-monthly orquarterly basis? Inthelatter case, isitnecessary
forimporters toapply forfresh licence onasix-monthly orquarterly basis?
Thesizeofquotas isdetermined onayearly basis.
There arenocases where thesizeofthequota isdetermined onayearly basisandwhere import
authorizations would beissued forimports onasix-monthly orquarterly basis.
III. Arelicences allotted forcertain goods partly oronlytodomestic producers oflikegoods?
What steps aretaken toensure thatlicences allocated areactually usedforimports? Are
unused allocations added toquotas forasucceeding period? Arethenames ofimporters
towhom licences havebeenallocated made known togovernments andexport promotion
bodies ofexporting countries upon request? Ifnot,forwhat reason? (Indicate products
towhich replies relate.)
Theissuing ofimport authorizations isnotlimited todomestic producers oflikegoods.
Thecompetent licensing authorities notify theCommission immediately afterhaving been
informed ofanyquantity thatisnotused during theduration ofvalidity oftheimport
authorization. Suchunused quantities areautomatically transferred intotheremaining quantities
ofthetotaloftheCommunityquantitativelimitforeachcategoryproductsandeachthirdcountry
concerned.
Names ofimporters towhom import authorizations havebeenallocated arenotmade known
togovernments andexporting countries, thisforprivacy protection reasons.

for1997owing totheabsence ofrecent trade statistics. However, theeconomic indicators which are
currently available show thefollowing trends:
A. Production. In1995, production ofcrude steel intheCommunity amounted to
156million tonnes, 2.6percenthigher thanin1994. During thefirstninemonths
of1996, Community production decreased by7.7percentcompared withthesame
period in1995. For1996 asawhole, production isexpected tofallto148million
tonnes, 5percentbelow 1995;
B. Imports. Imports ofECSC steelproducts intotheCommunity fromallthirdcountries
amounted to17.9million tonnes in1995, 60percentofwhich (10.8 million tonnes)
wereflatandlongproducts. According toestimates based ontrends during thefirst
months of1996, imports for1996asawhole should decrease byanaverage of16per
cent. Forecasts are,however, hardtoestablish withcertainty because oftheabsence
ofup-to-date trade statistics forallmember States andimportant changes intrade
structures. Thedropinimports during 1996waspreceded bysharp increases of30to
35percentin1995andin1994. Forsome ECSC steelproducts, theseimportant trends
werecombined withverylowimport prices compared totheCommunity price level.
Furthermore, theaverage 16percentdecrease inthelevelofimports in1996reflects
decreases of37percentforsemi-finished products and38percentforlongproducts,
whereas imports offlatproducts areestimated torisebyanaverage of9percent.
Member States areunequally affected bythesetrends. Insome member States, imports
ofcertain flatproducts haveincreased bymore than100percentinthefirstpartof
1996, compared withthesame period of1995;
C. Exports. Exports ofECSC steelproducts decreased byanaverage of22percentin
1995(EUR 12)compared withtotalexports of23.4million tonnes in1994. Exports
tospecific markets dropped bybetween 13percentand45percent. Community
exports areprovisionally expected toincrease byaround 7percentperyearin1996
and1997;
D. Similar trends apply tocertain steelproducts covered bytheECTreaty. Imports of
certain grain-oriented andnon-grain-oriented electrical sheet products subject tothe
ECTreaty (CN7226 1190and7226 1990)increased bymore than100percentin
1995 andremain sensitive fortheCommunity market. Production ofsteeltubes and
pipes isexpected tofallbyaround 10percentin1996compared with1995. Imports
ofsteeltubes andpipes increased byanaverage of60percentin1995compared with
1994. Prices ofproducts fromcertain thirdcountries are30to50percentbelow those
ofCommunity producers. Thesteeltubes andpipes sector isexpected toremain
sensitive fortheCommunity market.
Whereas, therefore, thetrend inimports ofcertain ECSC andECproducts originating inthird
countries covered bythisRegulation threatens tocause injury toCommunity producers andtheinterests
oftheCommunity require thatimports ofthose products should besubject toprior Community
surveillance inorder toprovide statistical information permitting rapid analysis ofimport trends;
Whereas thecompletion oftheinternal market requires thattheformalities tobeaccomplished
byCommunity importers beidentical wherever thegoods maybecleared;
Whereas release forfreecirculation oftheproducts covered bythisRegulation should bemade
subject topresentation ofasurveillance document meeting uniform criteria;G/LIC/N/3/EEC/1
Page14
Whereas thatdocument should onsimple application bytheimporter, beendorsed bythe
authorities ofthemember States within acertain period butwithout theimporter thereby acquiring
anyright toimport; thedocument should therefore bevalid onlyduring suchperiod astheimport
rules remain unchanged;
