oncommonrulesforimportsofcertaintextileproductsfromthird
countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas the Community has accepted the extension of the Arrange-
ment regarding international trade in textiles on the conditions laid
down in the Protocol for the extension of the Arrangement and the
conclusions adopted by the GATT Textiles Committee on 9 December1992 and annexed to that Protocol;
Whereas the Community has negotiated an extension for three years of
the existing agreements on trade in textile products with a number of
supplier countries;
Whereas the agreements in question establish Community quantitative
limits for 1993, 1994 and 1995;
Whereas the Community has negotiated new bilateral agreements and
other arrangements with a number of supplier countries;
Whereas the Community has negotiated agreements in the form of
Additional Protocols on trade in textile products to the Europe Agree-ments and/or the Interim Agreements, with a number of suppliercountries;
Whereas it is necessary to ensure that the purpose or each of these
agreements, protocols and other arrangements should not be evadedby deflection of trade; whereas it is therefore necessary to determinethe way in which the origin of the products in question is checkedand the methods by which the appropriate administrative cooperation
is achieved;
Whereas compliance with the quantitative limits on exports established
under the agreements and protocols is ensured by a double-checkingsystem; whereas the effectiveness of these measures depends on theCommunity's establishing a set of Community quantitative limits to be
applied to imports of all products from supplier countries whose
exports are subject to quantitative limits;
Whereas products placed in a free zone or imported under the arrange-
ments governing customs warehouses, temporary importation or inward
processing (suspension system) should not be subject to such Commu-
nity quantitative limits;
Whereas agreements concluded by the Community with certain third
countries contain special provisions for imports of folklore andhandloom products into the Community, and it is therefore necessary
to lay down appropriate procedures for implementing their provisions;
Whereas provision should be made for special rules for products re-
imported under the arrangements for economic outward processingand for the management of the relevant Community quantitative limits;
Whereas, in order to ensure that Community quantitative limits are not
exceeded, it is necessary to establish a special management procedure
whereby the competent authorities of the Member States will not issueimport licences before obtaining prior confirmation from the Commis-sion that there are still amounts available of the quantitative limit inquestion;
Whereas it is also necessary to introduce efficient and rapid procedures
for altering Community quantitative limits and their allocation to takeaccount of the development of trade flows, needs for additional importsand the Community's obligations under the agreements negotiated withsupplier countries;1993R3030 — EN — 01.01.2000 — 017.001 — 2
▼B
Whereas, in the case of products not subject to quantitative limits, the
agreements provide for a consultation procedure whereby, in the eventthat the volume of imports of a given category of products into the
Community exceeds a certain threshold, agreement can be reached
with the supplier country on the introduction of quantitative limits;whereas the supplier countries also undertake to suspend or limit theirexports from the date of a request for such consultations, at the levelindicated by the Community; whereas if no agreement is reached with
the supplier country within the period stipulated, the Community may
introduce quantitative limits at a specific annual or multiannual level;
Whereas, in certain exceptional circumstances, it may be more appro-
priate for such quantitative limits to be applied at the regional level
rather than at the Community level and it is therefore necessary to lay
down efficient procedures for deciding upon appropriate measureswhich do not disrupt unduly the functioning of the internal market;
Whereas the agreements, protocols or arrangements with certain coun-
tries foresee the possibility for the Community to subject textiles and
clothing imports to a system of surveillance and it is therefore neces-sary to lay down the administrative procedures for introducing andimplementing such surveillance measures;
Whereas, as a result of the completion of the internal market for
textiles and clothing products on 1 January 1993, Community quantita-tive limits are no longer broken down into Member States' shares;whereas the agreements with third countries provide for consultationsin the event of any problems which may arise as a result of regionalconcentration of direct imports into the Community and it is necessary
to lay down an effective procedure for implementing these provisions;
Whereas the agreements, protocols and other arrangements with certain
third countries provide for a system of cooperation between theCommunity and the supplier countries with the aim of preventing
circumvention by means of transhipment, rerouting or other means;
whereas a consultation procedure is established under which an agree-ment can be reached with the supplier country in question on anequivalent adjustment to the relevant quantitative limit when it appearsthat the agreement has been circumvented; whereas supplier countriesalso agreed to take the necessary measures to ensure that any adjust-
ments could be rapidly applied; whereas, in the absence of agreement
with a supplier country within the time limit provided, the Communitymay, where clear evidence of circumvention is provided, apply theequivalent adjustment;
Whereas in order inter alia to comply with time limits set in the agree-
ments it is necessary to lay down a rapid and efficient procedure forintroducing such quantitative limits and concluding such agreementswith the supplier countries;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation must be applied in confor-
mity with the Community's international obligations, in particular withthose arising from the abovementioned agreements with supplier coun-tries,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1

6. The procedures for evidence and for verification of the origin of
the product referred to in paragraph 1 are laid down in Annexes III and
IV and in the relevant Community legislation in force.
7. The Council, acting by qualified majority on a proposal from the
Commission, shall amend Annex X of this Regulation in order to inte-
grate the remaining products listed in Annex X into the WTO in threestages as follows:
— on 1 January 1998, products which in 1990 accounted for not less
than 17 % of the total volume of 1990 imports into the Communityof all textiles and clothing products covered by the ATC,

the categories of products to which they apply shall be adapted inaccordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17, where this
proves necessary to ensure that any subsequent amendment to the
combined nomenclature (CN) or any decision amending the classifica-tion of such products does not result in a reduction of such quantitativelimits.
7. In order to ensure that quantities for which import authorizations
are issued shall not exceed at any moment the total Community quan-
titative limits for each textile category and each third country
concerned, the competent authorities shall issue import authorizationsonly upon confirmation by the Commission that there are still quanti-ties available of the total Community quantitative limits for thecategories of textile products and for the third countries concerned,for which an importer or importers have submitted applications with

2. The consultations with the supplier country concerned shall be
conducted in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 16.
The measures necessary to remedy the situation described in paragraph1 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down inArticle 17.
Article 10
Safeguardmeasures
1. Should imports into the Community of products falling within
any given category, not subject to the quantitative limits set out inAnnex V and originating in one of the countries listed in Annex IXexceed, in relation to the preceding calendar year's total imports intothe Community of products in the same category, the percentages indi-cated in the Table appearing in Annex IX, such imports may be made
subject to quantitative limits under the conditions laid down in this
Article.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply where the percentages specified
therein have been reached as a result of a fall in total imports into theCommunity, and not as a result of an increase in exports of productsoriginating in the supplier country concerned.
3. Where the Commission, upon its own initiative or at the request
of a Member State, considers that the conditions set out in paragraph 1are fulfilled and that a given category of products should be madesubject to a quantitative limit:
(a) it shall open consultations with the supplier country concerned in
accordance with the procedure specified in Article 16 with a view
to reaching an arrangement or joint conclusions on a suitable level
of restriction for the category or products in question;
(b) pending a mutually satisfactory solution, the Commission shall, as
a general rule, request the supplier country concerned to limit
exports of the products in the category concerned to the Commu-
nity, for a provisional period of three months from the date onwhich the request for consultations is made. Such provisional limitshall be established at 25 % of the level of imports during theprevious calendar year, or 25 % of the level resulting from the
application of the formula set out in paragraph 1, whichever is the
higher;
(c) it may, pending the outcome of the requested consultations, apply
to the imports of the category of products in question quantitative
limits identical to those requested of the supplier country pursuant
to point (b). These measures shall be without prejudice to the defi-nitive arrangements to be made by the Community, taking intoaccount the results of the consultations.
4. (a) Should imports into the Community of textile products not
subject to the quantitative limits set out in Annex V and origi-1993R3030 — EN — 01.01.2000 — 017.001 — 7

nating in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland,
Romania or the Slovak Republic take place in such increasedquantities, or under such conditions, so as to cause serious
damage or actual threat thereof, to the Community's production
of like or directly competitive products, such imports may bemade subject to quantitative limits under the conditions laiddown in the Additional Protocols with these countries.
(b) The provisions of paragraph 3, shall also apply in such cases
except that the provisional limit referred to in paragraph 3 (b)
shall be established at 25 %, at least, of the level of imports
during the 12-month period terminating two months, or wheredata is not available three months, preceding the month in whichthe request for consultations is made.
5. (a) With regard to products listed in Annex X not subject to the
quantitative limits set out in Annex V and originating in coun-tries which are members of the World Trade Organization,safeguard action may be taken where it is demonstrated that aparticular product is being imported into the Community in
such increased quantities as to cause serious damage, or actual
threat thereof, to the domestic industry producing like and/ordirectly competitive products. Serious damage or actual threatthereof must demonstrably be caused by such increased quanti-ties in total imports of that product and not by such other factors
as technological changes or changes in consumer preference.
(b) In making a determination of serious damage, or actual threat
thereof, as referred to in paragraph (a) the effect of thoseimports on the state of the particular industry shall be examined,as reflected in changes in such relevant economic variables asoutput, productivity, utilization of capacity, inventories, marketshare, exports, wages, employment, domestic prices, profits and
investment.
(c) The third country or countries, member(s) of the World Trade
Organization to whom serious damage, or actual threat thereof,as referred to in paragraph (a) is attributed, shall be determinedon the basis of a sharpand substantial increase in imp orts, actualor imminent and on the level of imports as compared with
imports from other sources, market share and import and
domestic prices at a comparable stage of commercial transac-tion.
6. Where the Commission, upon its own initiative or at the request
of a Member State, considers that the conditions set out in paragraph 5
are fulfilled and that the products in question should be made subject toa quantitative limit:
(a) it shall open consultations with the supplier country concerned in
accordance with the procedure specified in Article 16 with a viewto reaching an arrangement or joint conclusions on a suitable levelof restriction for the products in question;
(b) in highly unusual and critical circumstances where delay would
cause damage which would be difficult to repair, it may impose a
provisional quantitative limit on the products in question on the
condition that the request for consultations shall be effected withinno more than five working days after taking the action. Such provi-sional limit shall not be lower than the actual level from thesupplier country during the 12-month period terminating twomonths preceding the month in which the request for consultations
was made.
7. (a) Measures taken pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4 and 6 shall be the
subject of a Commission communication published without
delay in the Official Journal of the European Communities .
(b) The Commission shall refer urgent cases to the Committee
provided for in Article 17 either at its own initiative or withinfive working days of receipt of a request from a Member Stateor States setting out the reasons for the urgency and shall take adecision within five working days of the end of the Committee'sdeliberation.1993R3030 — EN — 01.01.2000 — 017.001 — 8
▼M4
8. The consultations with the supplier country concerned which are
provided for in paragraphs 3, 4 and 6 may lead to an arrangementbetween that country and the Community, on the introduction and the
level of quantitative limits. Such arrangements shall stipulate that the
quantitative limits agreed be administered in accordance with adouble-checking system.
9. Should the parties be unable to reach a satisfactory solution
within 60 days following notification of the request for consultations,the Community shall have the right to introduce a definitive quantita-
tive limit at an annual level not lower than:
(a) in the case of supplier countries listed in Annex IX, the level
resulting from the application of the formula set out in paragraph1 or 106 % of the level of imports reached during the calendaryear preceding that in which imports exceeded the level resultingfrom the application of the formula set out in paragraph 1 andgave rise to the request for consultations, whichever is the higher;
(b) in the case of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland,
Romania or the Slovak Republic, 110 % of the imports for the12-month period terminating two months, or where data is notavailable three months, preceding the month in which the request
for consultations is made;
(c) in the case of supplier countries, members of the WTO, the actual
level of imports from the supplier country concerned during the 12-month period terminating two months preceding the month in
which the request for consultations was made.
10. The annual level of the quantitative limits established in accor-
dance with paragraphs 3 to 6 or 9 may not be less than the level ofimports into the Community in 1985 for Argentina, Brazil, HongKong, Pakistan, Peru, Sri Lanka and Uruguay, and in 1986 for Bangla-desh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Macao, Philippines, Singapore, SouthKorea and Thailand, of products of the same category and originating
in the same supplier country.
11. The quantitative limits established pursuant to this Article shall
not apply to products which have already been dispatched to theCommunity provided that they were shipped from the supplier countryin which they originate for export to the Community before the date ofnotification of the request for consultations.
12. Measures taken in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5
may remain in place:
(a) for upto three years without extension; or
(b) until the product is integrated into GATT 1994, whichever comes
first.
13. The measures provided for in paragraphs 3, 4, 6 and 9 and the
arrangements referred to in paragraph 9 shall be adopted and imple-mented in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17.
Article 11
Regionalsafeguardmeasures
1. Article 10 shall not preclude the Community, if the conditions are
fulfilled, from applying safeguard measures for one or more regions, in
conformity with the principles of the internal market.
2. Such measures shall be exceptional, temporary and disturb the
operation of the internal market as little as possible, and shall only beadopted after alternative solutions have been examined.
3. The measures provided for in this Article shall be taken in accor-
dance with the procedure laid down in Article 17.1993R3030 — EN — 01.01.2000 — 017.001 — 9

Article 12
SpecificrulesforadministrationofCommunityquantitativelimits
1. For the purpose of applying Article 2 (2), the competent authori-
ties of the Member States, before issuing import authorizations, shallnotify the Commission of the amounts of the requests for importauthorizations, supported by original export certificates, which theyhave received. By return the Commission shall notify its confirmation
that the requested amount(s) of quantities are available for importation
in the chronological order in which the notifications of the MemberStates have been received (‘first come, first served’ basis). However,in exceptional cases where there is reason to believe that anticipatedrequests for import authorizations may exceed the quantitative limits,the Commission, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article
17, may limit the amount to be allocated on the ‘first come, first
served’ basis to 90 % of the quantitative limits in question. In suchcases, as soon as this level has been reached, the allocation of theremainder shall be decided in accordance with the procedure laiddown in Article 17.
2. The requests included in the notifications to the Commission shall
be valid if they establish clearly in each case the supplier third country,
the category of textile products concerned, the amounts to be imported,
the number of the export licence, the quota year and the Member Statein which the products are intended to be put into free circulation.
3. Normally the notifications referred to in the previous paragraphs
of this Article shall be communicated electronically within the inte-grated network set up for this purpose, unless for imperative technicalreasons it is necessary to use other means of communication tempora-rily.
4. As far as possible, the Commission shall confirm to the authori-
ties the full amount indicated in the requests notified for each category
of products and each third country concerned. Notifications presented
by Member States for which no confirmation can be given becausethe amounts requested are no longer available within the Communityquantitative limit, will be stored by the Commission in the chronolo-gical order in which they have been received and confirmed in thesame order as soon as further amounts become available, for example
through the application of flexibilities foreseen in Article 7. Moreover
the Commission shall contact the authorities of the supplier countryconcerned immediately in cases where requests notified exceed thequantitative limits in order to seek clarification and a rapid solution.
5. The competent authorities shall notify the Commission immedi-
ately after being informed of any quantity that is not used during theduration of validity of the import authorization. Such unused quantitiesshall automatically be transferred into the remaining quantities of the
total Community quantitative limit for each category of product and
each third country concerned.
6. The import authorizations or equivalent documents shall be issued
in accordance with Annex III.
7. The competent authorities of the Member States shall notify the
Commission of any cancellation of import authorizations or equivalentdocuments already issued in cases where the corresponding exportlicences have been withdrawn or cancelled by the competent authoritiesin the supplier countries. However, if the Commission or the competentauthorities of a Member State have been informed by the competent
authorities of a supplier country of the withdrawal or cancellation of

ANNEX I B
1. This Annex covers textile raw materials (categories 128 and 154), textile products other than those
of wool and fine animal hair, cotton and man-made fibres, as well as man-made fibres and fila-
ments and yarns of categories 124, 125 A, 125 B, 126, 127 A and 127 B.
2. Without prejudice to the rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, the wording of
the description of goods is considered to be of indicative value only, since the products covered by
each category are determined, within this Annex, by CN codes. Where there ist an ‘ex’ symbol in
front of a CN code, the products covered in each category are determined by the scope of the CN
code and by that of the corresponding description.
3. Garments which are not recognisable as being garments for men or boys or as being garments for
women or girls are classified with the latter.
4. Where the expression ‘babies' garments’ is used, this is meant to cover garments up to and
including commercial size 86.

Administrativecooperation
Article 1
The Commission shall supply the Member States' authorities with the names and
addresses of authorities in the supplying countries competent to issue certificates
of origin and export licences together with specimens of the stamps used by
these authorities.
Article 2
For the textile products subject to quantitative limits referred to in Article 2 of
the Regulation or to the surveillance measures with a double-checking system
referred to in Annex III, Member States shall notify the Commission within
the first 10 days of each month of the total quantities, in the appropriate units
and by country of origin and category of products, for which import authoriza-
tions have been issued during the preceding month.
Article 3
1. Subsequent verification of certificates of origin or export licences shall be
carried out at random, or whenever the competent authorities of the Community
have reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the certificate of origin or export
licence or as to the accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the
products in question.
In such cases the competent authorities of the Community shall return the certi-
ficate of origin or the export licence or a copy thereof to the competent
governmental authority in the supplying country concerned, giving, where
appropriate, the reasons of form or substance for an enquiry. If the invoice has
been submitted, such invoice or a copy thereof shall be attached to the certifi-
cate of origin or export licence or copy thereof. The competent authorities shallalso forward any information that has been offered suggesting that the particu-
lars given on the said certificate or the said licence are inaccurate.
2. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall also apply to subsequent verifications
of declarations of origin.
3. The results of the subsequent verifications carried out in accordance with
paragraph 1 shall be communicated to the competent authorities of the Commu-
nity within three months at the latest.
The information communicated shall indicate whether the disputed certificate,
licence or declaration applies to the goods actually exported and whether the
goods are eligible for export to the Community under this Regulation. The
competent authorities of the Community may also request copies of all docu-
mentation necessary to determine the facts fully, including, in particular, the
origin of the goods(
1).
4. Should such verifications reveal abuse or major irregularities in the use of
declarations of origin, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission
of this fact. The Commission shall pass the information on to the other Member
States.
At the request of a Member State or on the initiative of the Commission, the
Committee on Origin shall, as soon as possible and in accordance with the
procedure specified in Article 248 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/
92(2), examine whether it is desirable to require the production of a certificate
of origin in respect of the products and the supplying country concerned.
The decision shall be taken in accordance with the procedure specified in
Article 249 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.
5. Random recourse to the procedure specified in this Article shall not consti-
tute an obstacle to the release for home use of the products in question.1993R3030 — EN — 01.01.2000 — 017.001 — 96
(1) For the purpose of subsequent verification of certificates of origin, copies of the certi-
ficates as well as any export documents referring to them shall be kept for at least twoyears by the competent governmental authority in each supplying country.

tion available to the competent authorities of the Community indicates that the
provisions of this Regulation are being contravened, the said authorities shall
request the supplier country or countries concerned to carry out appropriate
enquiries or arrange for such enquiries to be carried out concerning operations
which are or appear to be in contravention of the provisions of this Regulation.
The results of these enquiries shall be communicated to the competent authori-
ties of the Community together with any other pertinent information enabling
the true origin of the goods to be determined.
2. In pursuance of the action taken under the terms of this Annex, the compe-
tent authorities of the Community may exchange any information with the
competent governmental authorities of supplier countries which is considered
to be of use in preventing the contravention of the provisions of this Regulation.
3. Where it is established that the provisions of this Regulation have been
contravened, the Commission, acting according to the procedure laid down in
Article 17 of the Regulation, may take, with the agreement of the supplier
country or countries concerned, such measures as are necessary to prevent recur-
rence of such contravention.
Article 5
The Commission shall coordinate the actions undertaken by the competent
authorities of the Member States under the provisions of this Annex. The
