COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1260/2009
of 18 December 2009
amending Annexes I, II, IV and VI to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules (1), and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The bilateral textiles agreement with the Republic of Belarus covering trade in 2009 is expiring on 31 December 2009. No common understanding was found with Belarus to renew this agreement. Belarus is creating a customs union with Russia and Kazakhstan and does not see the possibility to continue granting preferential access for EU textiles and clothing exports to the Belarusian market. In consequence, it is considered appropriate that Belarus be included in the scope of application of Regulation (EC) No 517/94. Regulation (EC) No 517/94 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(2)
Amendments to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (2) also affect certain codes in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 517/94.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee established by Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 517/94,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annexes I, II, IV and VI to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 are amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in the Annex thereto.

Articles 3 (4), 4 (4), 5 (2) and 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas the entry into force of the supply arrangements for the Canary Islands was achieved by centralizing the administrative procedures relating to the submission of applications and the issue of licences and certificates; whereas such centralization of the procedures is justified by the need to verify that the supply system is being correctly administered; whereas, however, the transition from the former to the new arrangements has created certain problems of assessment of the needs of Canarian importers; whereas such importers have, on occasions, applied for the issue of import licences, exemption certificates and aid certificates in respect of quantities exceeding realistic utilization levels;
Whereas the issue of licences and certificates shall be conditional upon the lodging of a security; whereas that security shall be forfeit in the event of non-observance of the obligation to use the licence or certificate;
