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,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 — 01.05.2004 — 025.001 — 3
▼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 1

derogation to this provision, Article 10a shall be applicable to
textile products listed in Annex I under the conditions stipulated inthat Article.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, textile products falling within
Section XI of the combined nomenclature shall be classified in cate-goriesass et out in Annex I.
3. The classification of products listed in Annex I shall be based on
the combined nomenclature (CN), without prejudice to Article 2 (6).

referred to in paragraph 1 shall be as laid down in Annex III and in
the relevant Community legislation in force. However, proof of originpresented in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No1541/98 may also be accepted in place of the proof of origin requiredby bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements which laydown more stringent requirements.
The procedures for verification of the origin of those products shall be
aslaid down in Annex IV and in the relevant Community legis lation inforce.
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 productslis ted in Annex X into the WTO in three
stages as follows:
— on 1 January 1998, productswhich in 1990 accounted for not les s
than 17 % of the total volume of 1990 importsinto the Communityof all textilesand clothing productscovered by the ATC,
— on 1 January 2002, productswhich in 1990 accounted for not les s
than 18 % of the total volume of 1990 importsinto the Community
of all textilesand clothing productscovered by the ATC,
— on 1 January 2005 the remaining products.
Before each integration stage referred to above, the Commission shall
present to the Council a report on the respect by third countries of their
commitmentsunder the GATT rulesand dis ciplinesreferred to in
Article 7 of the ATC.
8. By way of derogation from thisRegulation, the import of the
following textile products shall not be subject to quantitative restric-tions, licensing or requirements regarding proof of origin:
(a) Samplesof textile productswhich are of negligible value and can
be used only to solicit orders for goods of the type they representwith a view to their being imported into the customs territory of theCommunity. The competent authoritiesmay require that certainarticles, to qualify for the exemption, be rendered permanently
unusable by being torn, perforated, or clearly and indelibly marked,
or by any other process, provided such operation does not destroytheir character as samples. ‘Samples of textile products’ means anyarticle representing a type of goods whose manner of presentationand quantity, for goods of the same type or quality, rule out its usefor any purpose other than that of seeking orders.1993R3030 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 025.001 — 5

the categoriesof productsto which they apply s hall be adapted in
accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17, where this
proves necessary to ensure that any subsequent amendment to thecombined 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 limitsfor 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-tiesavailable of the total Community quantitative limitsfor thecategoriesof textile productsand for the third countriesconcerned,for which an importer or importershave s ubmitted applicationswith
the said authorities.

cated in the Table appearing in Annex IX, such imports may be made
subject to quantitative limits under the conditions laid down in thisArticle.
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 made
subject 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 limitexportsof the productsin the category concerned to the Commu-
nity, for a provisional period of three months from the date on
which 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 theapplication of the formula set out in paragraph 1, whichever is thehigher;
(c) it may, pending the outcome of the requested consultations, apply
to the importsof the category of productsin ques tion quantitativelimits identical to those requested of the supplier country pursuantto 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.1993R3030 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 025.001 — 9

4. (a) Should importsinto the Community of textile productsnot
subject to the quantitative limits set out in Annex V and origi-nating in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland,
Romania or the Slovak Republic take place in such increased
quantities, or under such conditions, so as to cause seriousdamage or actual threat thereof, to the Community'sproductionof like or directly competitive products, such imports may bemade subject to quantitative limits under the conditions laid
down 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 importsduring 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 a
particular product isbeing imported into the Community insuch increased quantities as to cause serious damage, or actualthreat thereof, to the domestic industry producing like and/ordirectly competitive products. Serious damage or actual threat
thereof must demonstrably be caused by such increased quanti-
tiesin total importsof that product and not by s uch other factorsastechnological 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 variablesas
output, productivity, utilization of capacity, inventories, market
share, exports, wages, employment, domestic prices, profits andinvestment.
(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 determined
on the basis of a sharp and substantial increase in imports, actual
or imminent and on the level of importsascompared withimports from other sources, market share and import anddomestic 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 5are 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 level
of 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 aprovisional quantitative limit on the products in question on thecondition 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 the
supplier country during the 12-month period terminating two
months preceding the month in which the request for consultationswasmade.
7. (a) Measures taken pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4 and 6 shall be the
subject of a Commission communication published withoutdelay 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 a1993R3030 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 025.001 — 10

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 confirmationthat the requested amount(s) of quantities are available for importation1993R3030 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 025.001 — 12

in the chronological order in which the notificationsof the Member
States have been received (‘first come, first served’ basis). However,in exceptional cases where there is reason to believe that anticipated
requests for import authorizations may exceed the quantitative limits,
the Commission, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article17, may limit the amount to be allocated on the ‘first come, firstserved’ basis to 90 % of the quantitative limits in question. In suchcases, as soon as this level has been reached, the allocation of the
remainder shall be decided in accordance with the procedure laid
down 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 categoryof productsand each third country concerned. Notificationspres entedby Member Statesfor which no confirmation can be given becaus ethe amountsreques ted are no longer available within the Community
quantitative 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 examplethrough the application of flexibilitiesfores een in Article 7. Moreoverthe Commission shall contact the authorities of the supplier country
concerned immediately in cases where requests notified exceed the
quantitative 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 authorisation or at the time of its
expiry. Such unused quantities shall automatically be transferred into
the remaining quantitiesof the total Community quantitative limit foreach 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 authorities
in the supplier countries. However, if the Commission or the competent
authoritiesof a Member State have been informed by the competentauthoritiesof a s upplier country of the withdrawal or cancellation ofan 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 products
took place.

Article 15
Circumvention
1. Where, following the enquiriescarried out in accordance with the
procedures established in Annex IV, the Commission finds that theinformation in its possession constitutes proof that products originatingin a supplier country listed in Annex V and subject to the quantitativelimitsreferred to in Article 2 or introduced purs uant to Article 10 have
been transshipped, re-routed or otherwise imported into the Community
through circumvention of such quantitative limits and that there is aneed for the necessary adjustments to be made, it shall request thatconsultations be opened, in accordance with the procedure describedin Article 16, so that agreement may be reached on an equivalentadjustment of the corresponding quantitative limits.1993R3030 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 025.001 — 14
▼M13

2. Pending the outcome of the consultations referred to in paragraph
1, the Commission may ask the supplier country concerned to take thenecessary precautionary steps to ensure that adjustments to the quanti-
tative limits agreed following such consultations may be carried out for
the year in which the request for consultations was lodged or for thefollowing year, if the quantitative limitsfor the current year isexhausted, where there is clear evidence of circumvention.
3. If the Community and the supplier country fail to arrive at a satis-
factory solution within the period stipulated in Article 16 and if theCommission notes that three is clear evidence of circumvention, itshall, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17, deduct
from the quantitative limitsan equivalent volume of productsorigi-
nating in the supplier country concerned.
4. In accordance with the provisions of the protocols and certain
bilateral agreements concluded with third countries, where sufficient
evidence shows that a false declaration concerning fibre content, quan-tities, description or classification of products originating in thecountriesconcerned hasoccurred, the Community authoritiesmayrefuse to import the products in question.
Furthermore, should it appear that the territory of any of these coun-
triesisinvolved in trans hipment or re-routing of productsnotoriginating in that country, the Commission may introduce quantitativelimits against the same products originating in that same country, if
they are not already subject to quantitative limits, or it may take any
other appropriate measures.
5. In addition, where there isevidence of the involvement of the
territoriesof third countrieswhich are Membersof the WTO but which
are not listed in Annex V, the Commission shall request consultations
with the third country or countriesconcerned in accordance with theprocedure described in Article 16 in order to take appropriate actionto address the problem. The Commission, in accordance with theprocedure laid down in Article 17, may introduce quantitative limits
against the third country or countries concerned or it may take any
other appropriate measures.
