THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and
in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994
on common rules for imports of textile products from third countries
not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements
or by other specific Community import rules (1), as lastamended by
Regulation (EC) No 2798/94 (2), and in particular Article 21 thereof,
Whereas, as a result of the establishment of the internal market, it is
appropriate that the different forms, so far used by the competent
authorities of the Member States in the textile and clothing sector for
authorizing the import into the Community of products subject to quan-titative limits, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 517/94, be replaced by asingle document that may be used throughout the customs territory ofthe Community, regardless of the Member State of issue, or the nation-ality or domicile of the operator concerned;
Whereas to this end it is necessary to create a Community import
licence to be drawn up by the competent authorities of the MemberStates on a common form meeting uniform criteria, to specify whichinformation such document, and the application for such document,shall contain ►
M1 ◄;
Whereas to facilitate the introduction of such a Community import
licence in all Member States, it seems appropriate to authorize thecompetent authorities of the Member States, during a transitionalperiod which shall end no later than 31 December 1995, to continueto issue the national forms that were in use before the date of entryinto force of this Regulation for issuing import authorizations and
surveillance documents, unless the applicant, at the time of this appli-
cation, has requested the issue of a Community import licence;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accor-
dance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,

ANNEX
Article 1
Communityimportlicence —commonform
1. The forms to be used by the competent authorities of the Member States
listed in Appendix 2 to the present Annex for issuing the import authoriza-
tions shall conform to the specimen of the import licence set out in
Appendix 1.
2. Import licence forms and extracts thereof shall be drawn up in duplicate,
one copy, marked “Holder's copy” and bearing the number 1 to be issued
to the applicant, and the other, marked “Copy for the issuing authority”
and bearing the number 2, to be kept by the authority issuing the licence.
For administrative purposes the competent authorities may add additional
copies to form 2.
3. Forms shall be printed on white paper free of mechanical pulp, dressed for
writing and weighing between 55 and 65 grams per square metre. Their size
shall be 210 × 297 mm; the type space between the lines shall be 4,24 mm
(one-sixth of an inch); the layout of the forms shall be followed precisely.
Both sides of copy No 1, which is the licence itself, shall in addition have a
red printed guilloche pattern background so as to reveal any falsification by
mechanical or chemical means.
4. Member States shall be responsible for having the forms printed. The forms
may also be printed by printers appointed by the Member State in which
they are established. In the latter case, reference to the appointment by the
Member State must appear on each form. Each form shall bear an indication
of the printer's name and address or a mark enabling the printer to be iden-
tified.
5. At the time of their issue the import licences or extracts shall be given an
issue number determined by the competent authorities of the Member State.
The import licence number shall be notified to the Commission electroni-
cally within the integrated network set up under Article 17 (4) of
Regulation (EC) No 517/94.
6. Licences and extracts shall be completed in the official language, or one of
the official languages, of the Member State of issue.
7. In box 12 the competent authorities shall indicate the appropriate textile
category.
8. The marks of the issuing agencies and debiting authorities shall be applied
by means of a stamp. However, an embossing press combined with letters
or figures obtained by means of perforation, or printing on the licence may
be substituted for the issuing authority's stamp. The issuing authorities shall
use any tamper-proof method to record the quantity allocated in such a way
as to make it impossible to insert figures or references (e.g. ECU 1 000).
9. The reverse of copy No 1 and copy No 2 shall bear a box in which quanti-
ties may be entered, either by the customs authorities when import
formalities are completed, or by the competent administrative authorities
when an extract is issued.
If the space set aside for debits on a licence or extract thereof is insuffi-
cient, the competent authorities may attach one or more extension pages
bearing boxes matching those on the reverse of copy No 1 and copy No 2
of the licence or extract with such authorizations as specified in paragraph
7.
10. Import licences and extracts issued, and entries and endorsements made, by
the authorities of one Member State shall have the same legal effect in each
of the other Member States as documents issued, and entries and endorse-
ments made, by the authorities of such Member States.
11. The competent authorities of the Member States concerned may, where
indispensable, require the contents of licences or extracts to be translated
into the official language or one of the official languages of that Member
State.1994R3168 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 002.001 — 4
