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,Whereasthe Community hasaccepted the extens ion of the Arrange-
ment regarding international trade in textileson the conditionslaid
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;
Whereasthe Community hasnegotiated an extens ion for three yearsof
the existing agreements on trade in textile products with a number of
supplier countries;
Whereas the agreements in question establish Community quantitative
limitsfor 1993, 1994 and 1995;
Whereasthe Community hasnegotiated new bilateral agreementsand
other arrangements with a number of supplier countries;
Whereasthe Community hasnegotiated agreementsin the form of
Additional Protocolson trade in textile productsto 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 productsin ques tion ischeckedand the methodsby which the appropriate adminis trative cooperation
isachieved;
Whereas compliance with the quantitative limits on exports established
under the agreementsand protocolsisens ured 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;
Whereasproductsplaced 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;
Whereasagreementsconcluded 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 licencesbefore 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 limitsand their allocation to takeaccount of the development of trade flows, needs for additional importsand the Community'sobligationsunder the agreementsnegotiated withsupplier countries;1993R3030 — EN — 24.04.1998 — 013.001 — 2
▼B
Whereas, in the case of products not subject to quantitative limits, the
agreementsprovide for a cons ultation procedure whereby, in the eventthat the volume of importsof a given category of productsinto the
Community exceedsa certain thres hold, 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; whereasif no agreement isreached with
the supplier country within the period stipulated, the Community may
introduce quantitative limitsat a s pecific 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 proceduresfor deciding upon appropriate meas ureswhich do not disrupt unduly the functioning of the internal market;
Whereasthe agreements , protocolsor arrangementswith 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
textilesand clothing productson 1 January 1993, Community quantita-tive limits are no longer broken down into Member States' shares;whereasthe agreementswith third countriesprovide for cons ultationsin 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;
Whereasthe agreements , protocolsand other arrangementswith 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 hasbeen circumvented; whereass upplier 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 isprovided, apply theequivalent adjustment;
Whereasin order inter alia to comply with time limitss et 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'sinternational obligations , in particular withthose arising from the abovementioned agreements with supplier coun-tries,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 10
Safeguardmeasures
1. Should importsinto the Community of productsfalling within
any given category, not subject to the quantitative limits set out inAnnex V and originating in one of the countrieslis ted in Annex IXexceed, in relation to the preceding calendar year'stotal importsintothe Community of productsin the s ame category, the percentagesindi-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 asa res ult of a fall in total importsinto 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 productss hould 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
exportsof the productsin 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 thepreviouscalendar year, or 25 % of the level res ulting 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 importsof the category of productsin ques tion quantitative
limits identical to those requested of the supplier country pursuant
to point (b). These measures shall be without prejudice to the defi-nitive arrangementsto be made by the Community, taking intoaccount the results of the consultations.
4. (a) Should importsinto the Community of textile productsnot
subject to the quantitative limits set out in Annex V and origi-1993R3030 — EN — 24.04.1998 — 013.001 — 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'sproduction
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 isnot 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 limitss et out in Annex V and originating in coun-trieswhich are membersof the World Trade Organization,safeguard action may be taken where it is demonstrated that aparticular product isbeing 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-tiesin total importsof that product and not by s uch other factors
astechnological changesor changesin cons umer preference.
(b) In making a determination of serious damage, or actual threat
thereof, asreferred to in paragraph (a) the effect of thos eimports on the state of the particular industry shall be examined,asreflected in changesin s uch relevant economic variablesasoutput, 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,asreferred to in paragraph (a) isattributed, s hall be determinedon the basis of a sharp and substantial increase in imports, actualor imminent and on the level of importsascompared 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 daysafter 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
wasmade.
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 itsown initiative or withinfive working daysof receipt of a reques t 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 — 24.04.1998 — 013.001 — 8
▼M4
8. The consultations with the supplier country concerned which are
provided for in paragraphs3, 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 limitsagreed be adminis tered 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 importsreached during the calendaryear preceding that in which importsexceeded the level res ultingfrom 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 importsfor 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 importsfrom the s upplier country concerned during the 12-month period terminating two monthspreceding the month in
which the request for consultations was made.
10. The annual level of the quantitative limits established in accor-
dance with paragraphs3 to 6 or 9 may not be les sthan the level ofimportsinto 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 productsof the s ame category and originating
in the same supplier country.
11. The quantitative limits established pursuant to this Article shall
not apply to productswhich have already been dis patched 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 up to three yearswithout extens ion; or
(b) until the product isintegrated into GATT 1994, whichever comes
first.
13. The measures provided for in paragraphs 3, 4, 6 and 9 and the
arrangementsreferred to in paragraph 9 s hall 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 principlesof 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 — 24.04.1998 — 013.001 — 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 notificationsof 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 productsconcerned, the amountsto be imported,
the number of the export licence, the quota year and the Member Statein which the productsare intended to be put into free circulation.
3. Normally the notificationsreferred to in the previousparagraphs
of thisArticle s hall 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-
tiesthe full amount indicated in the reques tsnotified for each category
of productsand each third country concerned. Notificationspres ented
by Member Statesfor which no confirmation can be given becaus ethe amountsreques ted 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 flexibilitiesfores een 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 isnot us ed 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 authoritiesof the Member Statess hall notify the
Commission of any cancellation of import authorizations or equivalentdocuments already issued in cases where the corresponding exportlicenceshave been withdrawn or cancelled by the competent authoritiesin the supplier countries. However, if the Commission or the competentauthoritiesof a Member State have been informed by the competent
authoritiesof a s upplier country of the withdrawal or cancellation of
an export licence after the related productshave been imported intothe Community, the quantities in question shall be set off against thequantitative limitsfor the year during which s hipment of productstook place.
8. The Commission may, in accordance with the procedure laid
down in Article 17, take any measure necessary to implement thisArticle.1993R3030 — EN — 24.04.1998 — 013.001 — 10
