Dear Mr. Chairman,
With reference to your letter of 15 November 2002 requesting, in order to have a clear picture
of the growth rates applied on 10 December 2001 to the quantitative restrictions maintained by
Turkey on imports from China of the products covered by the ATC, official documents which formed
the basis for the last Turkish notification (G/TMB/N /422/Add.3), I am pleased to submit herewith the
relevant documents instructed by my authorities to be communicated to the TMB.
Please accept, Mr. Chairman, the assurances of my highest consideration.
Yours sincerely,

Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs presents its compliments to the Embassy of the People's
Republic of China and has the honour to refer, on the one hand, to the Agreement Establishing an
Association Between the European Community and Turkey signed in Ankara on 12 September 1963
and the Additional Protocol signed on 23 November  1970 annexed thereto;  and, on the other hand, to
the Agreement between the European Community and the Government of the People's Republic of
China on Trade in Textile Products initialled on 23 July 1993, as amended by the exchanges of lettersinitialled on 15 December 1994.
The Government of the Republic of Turkey is  pleased to inform the Government of the
People's Republic of China that the Customs Union between the European Community and Turkey
foreseen in the Association Agreement will enter into force on 1 January 1996.  This Customs Unionwill also cover trade in textile and clothing products.
In this context and in accordance with the provisions of Article XXIV of GATT 1994, as of
entry into force of the Customs Union, Turkey will apply the same external tariff as the EC to imports
of textiles and clothing from third countries.  This will mean a reduction in total import protection onsuch products from the average level rate applied by Turkey in 1994 which was approximately
27 per cent, to the average duty applied by the EC to such products which is approximately 6 per cent.
In addition, Turkey will apply the same rules as the EC to trade in textiles and clothing products from
all third countries.
More specifically, as regards imports of textiles and clothing products from China into
Turkey, Turkey will apply as of the entry into force of the Customs Union the same measures,
mutatis mutandis , as those foreseen in the above-mentioned bilateral agreements between China and
the European Community.  In this context it should be recalled that, pending the accession of China to
the WTO the Agreement between China and the European Community on non-MFA products will
remain in force until 31 December 1996, while it is expected that the above-mentioned bilateral
agreement between China and the European Community on textile products will be renewed from1 January 1996.
The Government of Turkey is pleased to enclose in Attachment I a detailed note explaining
these provisions and the way in which quantitative limits for the Turkish market have been assessed.
Moreover, with a view to avoiding any disruption to trade in textiles and clothing products
between Turkey and China or any uncertainty for economic operators as a result of the introduction of
these measures, the Government of Turkey has the honour to propose to the Government of the
People's Republic of China the draft Memoranda of Understanding on trade in textiles and clothing
products contained in Attachment II and III.
If the Government of the People's Republic of China agrees with the two proposed
memoranda, the Government of Turkey would suggest that the agreement be confirmed by written
procedure.
The Government of Turkey remains entirely at the disposal of the Government of the People's
Republic of China to provide any further information on the Attachment or to enter into consultations,
if the Government of the People's Republic of China considers this necessary and would be most
grateful if the Government of the People's Republic of China could reply to this note before
1 November 1995.G/TMB/N/422/Add.4

Attachment I
Explanatory Note
1. MFA bilateral Agreement
In order to establish the level of the quantitative limits to be applied by Turkey in 1996, the
following formula has been used:
• either the arithmetical average of imports into Turkey from China for the category of products
during the period 1992 to 1994;
• or an amount based on the total EC imports for the category of products in question multiplied by
the percentage of the basket exit threshold laid down in the bilateral agreement between the ECand China in force in 1994 multiplied by the percentage share of Turkish GDP in EC 15 GDP
(2.5 per cent);
• whichever is the higher;
• to this amount the corresponding growth rates in force in quota years 1994 and 1995 have been
added to arrive at a level for 1996.
This standard formula has been used for all the quantitative limits to be introduced by Turkey
vis-à-vis  all third countries concerned.
2. Agreement on products not covered by MFA (raw materials and textile products of silk, flax
and ramie)
In order to establish the level of the quantitative limits to be applied by Turkey in 1996, the
following formula has been used:
• either the arithmetical average of imports into Turkey from China for the category of products
during the period 1992 to 1994;
• or an amount based on the total EC imports in 1992 (the reference year used to calculate the
quantitative limits in the above-mentioned bilateral Agreement) for the category of products in
question multiplied by the percentage of the basket exit threshold laid down in the bilateralagreement between the EC and China in force in 1995 multiplied by the percentage share of
Turkish GDP in EC 15 GDP (2.5 per cent);
• whichever is the higher;
• to this amount the corresponding growth rates have been applied to arrive at a level for 1996.
3. Results of the formulae
The coverage of the products subject to quantita tive limits will be identical to that of the
quantitative limits in force in the European Community.
With regard to the criteria retained for the calculation of the quantitative limits on imports of
textiles and clothing products into Turkey from China, the following points should be noted.G/TMB/N/422/Add.4
Page 6
Of the 41 limits currently applied in the European Community against China on MFA
products:
- there were no imports into Turkey during the period 1992 to 1994 for categories 9, 13, 15, 26,
28, 29, 78, 83 and 163;
- imports into Turkey of categories 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 20/39, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 24, 31, 68, 73,
76, 33, 10 and 97 were lower than the alternative calculation based on Turkish GDP referred
to above;
in both these cases the alternative calculation based on GDP has been applied;
- for categories 1, 2, 2a, 3, 3a, 5a, 22, 23, 32, 37 and 37a the average of imports into Turkey
during the period 1992 to 1994 has been applied.
Of the 28 limits currently applied in the European Community against China on non MFA
products:
- there were no imports into Turkey during the period 1992 to 1994 for categories 122, 123,
127b, 145, 146a, 151b;
- imports into Turkey of categories ex13, ex24, 120, 136a, 156, 157, 159 and 161 were lower
than the alternative calculation based on Turkish GDP referred to above;
in both these cases the alternative calculation based on GDP has been applied;
- for categories ex18, ex20, ex39, 115, 117, 118, 124, 125a, 125b, 126, 127a, 140, 146b and
160 the average of imports into Turkey during the period 1992 to 1994 has been applied.
The full details of the calculation of the quantitative limits on imports into Turkey from China
are contained in the attached tables.G/TMB/N/422/Add.4

Attachment II
Memorandum of Understanding
between the Government of Turkey
and the Government of the People's Republic of China
concerning trade in textile products
In order to implement the Customs Union between Turkey and the EU on 1 January 1996,
which will permit free circulation of all textiles and clothing products between the EU and Turkey,
Turkey will apply as of the date of entry into force the same external tariff as the Common CustomsTariff of the EU and the same rules of commerce as those of the EU on imports of textiles and
clothing from third countries.
Therefore, with a view to avoiding any disrupt ion to trade in textiles and clothing products
between their two countries or any uncertainty for economic operators as a result of the introduction
of the measures referred to above, China and Turkey have agreed upon the following arrangements,
which are based as far as possible on the bilateral agreement between the People's Republic of China
and the European Community initialled on 9 December 1988, as last amended by the exchanges of
letters initialled on 8 December 1992 and 14 December 1994 respectively.
This arrangement shall apply to trade in textile products of cotton, wool and man-made fibres
originating in China which are listed in Annex I to the above-mentioned agreement between China
and the European Community.
The origin and the classification of the products covered by this arrangement shall be
determined in accordance with the rules in force in the European Community, which Turkey shall also
apply in relation to this arrangement.
Any amendment to these rules of origin or classification shall be communicated to China and
shall not have the effect of reducing any quantitative limit established under this arrangement.
The procedures for control of the origin of the products referred to above are laid down in
Protocol A to the above-mentioned agreemen t between the European Community and China.
For the purposes of applying Protocol A, the models of the export licence and certificate or
origin are set out in Annex II and Annex III to this arrangement.
Moreover, the standardised number which each certificate of origin and export certificate
shall bear will be composed of the following elements:
- two letters identifying China as follows:  CN
- two letters identifying Turkey as follows:  TR
- a one-digit number identifying quota year, corresponding to the last figure in the year in
question, e.g. 6 for 1996
- a two-digit number running consecutively from 01 to 99 identifying the issuing office
- a five-digit number running consecutively from 00001 to 99999.G/TMB/N/422/Add.4
Page 10
China agrees for each arrangement year to restrain its exports to Turkey of the products
described in Annex I to this arrangement to the limits set out therein.
Exports of textile products set out in Annex I shall be subject to the double-checking system
specified in Protocol A to the above-mentione d agreement between the European Community and
China.
Exports of cottage industry fabrics woven on hand- or foot-operated looms, garments or other
articles obtained manually from such fabrics and traditional folklore handicraft products shall not be
subject to quantitative limits, provided that these products meet the conditions laid down in
Protocol B to the above-mentioned agreemen t between the European Community and China.
Nevertheless the model of certificate annexed to Protocol B of the above agreement between
the European Community and China shall be replaced  by the specimen set out in Annex IV to this
arrangement.
Imports into Turkey of textile products covered by this arrangement shall not be subject to the
quantitative limits established in Annex I to this arrang ement, provided that they are declared to be for
re-export outside Turkey and the European Community  in the same state or after processing, within
the framework of the administrative system of control which exists within the European Community
that Turkey shall also apply in relation to this arrangement.
However, the release for home use of products imported under the conditions referred to
above shall be subject to the production of an export certificate issued by the Chinese authorities, and
to proof of origin in accordance with the provisions of Protocol A to the above agreement between the
European Community and China.
Where the Turkish authorities ascertain that imports of textile products have been set off
against a quantitative limit established under this arrangement, but that the products have
subsequently been re-exported outside Turkey and the European Community, the authorities
concerned shall inform the authorities of China wi thin four weeks of the quantities involved and
authorise imports of identical quantities of the same products, which shall not be set off against the
quantitative limit established under this arrangement for the current or the following year.
Turkey and China hereby agree to apply to the quantitative limits established under this
arrangement the same flexibilities and growth rates as those applied in trade between the
European Community and China.
Where, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 of the above-mentioned bilateral
agreement between the European Community and China, a product not listed in Annex I to this
Arrangement is made subject to a quantitative limit, parallel consultations shall be held between
China and Turkey with a view to reaching agreemen t on an appropriate restraint level also for exports
to the Turkish market.
Moreover, where imports into Turkey in a category not listed in Annex I to this Arrangement
originating in China exceed, in relation to the pr eceding year's total imports into Turkey from all
sources of products in that category:
- 5 per cent for categories of products in Group II- 10 per cent for categories of products in Group III.G/TMB/N/422/Add.4
Page 11
Turkey may request the opening of consultations with a view to reaching agreement on an appropriate
restraint level for the products in such category.
In either case, in determining a provisional or a definitive quantitative limit for the Turkish
market, China and Turkey shall apply mutatis mutandis  the other relevant provisions of Article 6 of
the above-mentioned agreement between China and the European Community.
China and Turkey agree to cooperate fully in preventing the circumvention of this
Arrangement by transshipment, re-routing or whatever other means.  To this end, both Parties shall
apply mutatis mutandis  the provisions of Article 7 of the above-mentioned agreement between the
European Community and China to their trade in textile products covered by this Arrangement.
The terms of this Arrangement will enter into force on the date at which the EC-Turkey
Customs Union is put into full effect.G/TMB/N/422/Add.4

Attachment III
Memorandum of Understanding
between the Government of Turkey
and the Government of the People's Republic of China
concerning trade in raw materials and products
made from silk, flax and ramie
In order to implement the Customs Union between Turkey and the EU on 1 January 1996,
which will permit free circulation of all textiles and clothing products between the EU and Turkey,Turkey will apply as of the date of entry into force the same external tariff as the Common Customs
Tariff of the EU and the same rules of commerce as those of the EU on imports of textiles and
clothing from third countries.
Therefore, with a view to avoiding any disrupt ion to trade in textiles and clothing products
between their two countries or any uncertainty for economic operators as a result of the introduction
of the measures referred to above, China and Turkey have agreed upon the following Arrangement,
which is based as far as possible on the bilateral agreement between the People's Republic of China
and the European Community initialled on 19 January 1995.
This arrangement shall apply to trade in textile raw materials and textile products, falling
under section XI of the Combined Nomenclature that  are listed in Annex I to the above-mentioned
agreement between the European Community and China.
The origin and the classification of the products covered by this arrangement shall be
determined in accordance with the rules in force in the European Community, which Turkey shall also
apply in relation to this arrangement.
Any amendment to these rules of origin or classification shall be communicated to China and
shall not have the effect of reducing any quantitative limit established under this arrangement.
The procedures for control of the origin of the products referred to above are laid down in
Protocol A to the above-mentioned agreemen t between the European Community and China.
China agrees for each calendar year to restrain its exports to Turkey of the products described
in Annex I to this arrangement to the limits set out therein.  Such exports shall be subject to the double
checking system specified in Protocol A.
For the purposes of applying Protocol A, the models of the export licence and certificate of
origin are set out in Annex II and Annex III to this arrangement.
Moreover, the standardised number which each certificate of origin and export certificate
shall bear will be composed of the following elements:
- two letters identifying China as follows:  CN- two letters identifying Turkey as follows:  TR- a one-digit number identifying quota year, as follows:  2 for 1996;  3 for 1997 and so onG/TMB/N/422/Add.4
Page 17
- a two-digit number running consecutively from 01 to 99 identifying the particular issuing
office in the exporting country
- a five-digit number running consecutively from 00001 to 99999 allocated to Turkey.
Imports into Turkey of products covered by this arrangement shall not be subject to the
quantitative limits established in Annex I to this arrang ement, provided that they are declared to be for
re-export outside Turkey and the European Community  in the same state or after processing, within
the framework of the administrative system of control which exists within the European Community
that Turkey shall also apply in relation to this arrangement.
However, the release for home use of products imported under the conditions refered to above
shall be subject to the production of an export certificate issued by the Chinese authorities, and to
proof of origin in accordance with the provisions  of Protocol A to the above agreement between the
European Community and China.
Where the Turkish authorities ascertain that imports of textile products have been set off
against a quantitative limit established under this arrangement, but that the products have
subsequently been re-exported outside Turkey and the European Community, the authorities
concerned shall inform the authorities of China wi thin four weeks of the quantities involved and
authorise imports of identical quantities of the same products, which shall not be set off against the
quantitative limit established under this arrangement for the current or the following year, asappropriate.
Turkey and China hereby agree to apply to the quantitative limits established under this
arrangement the same flexibilities and growth rates as those applied in trade between the
European Community and China.
Where, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of the above-mentioned bilateral
agreement between the European Community and China, a product not listed in Annex I to this
Arrangement is made subject to a quantitative limit, parallel consultations shall be held between
China and Turkey with a view to reaching agreemen t on an appropriate restraint level also for exports
to the Turkish market.
Moreover, where the level of imports into Turkey in a category not listed in Annex I to this
Arrangement originating in China reach, in relation to the preceding year's total imports into Turkey
from all sources of products in that category:
- 25 per cent for categories covering silk products- 10 per cent for all the other products listed in Annex I to the above-mentioned agreement
between the European Community and China.
Turkey may request the opening of consultations with a view to reaching agreement on an appropriate
restraint level for the products in such category.
In either case, in determining a provisional or a definitive quantitative limit for the Turkish
market, China and Turkey shall apply mutatis mutandis  the other relevant provisions of Article 7 of
the above-mentioned agreement between China and the European Community.
China and Turkey agree to cooperate fully in preventing the circumvention of this
Arrangement by transshipment, re-routing or whatever other means.  To this end, both Parties shallG/TMB/N/422/Add.4
Page 18
apply mutatis mutandis  the provisions of Article 9 of the above-mentioned agreement between the
European Community and China to their trade in textile products covered by this Arrangement.
The terms of this Arrangement will enter into force on the date at which the EC-Turkey
Customs Union is put into full effect.G/TMB/N/422/Add.4
