Appendix 4 Agreed Minute No 1

In the context of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Singapore on trade in textile and clothing products, initialled on 26 November 1992, the Parties agreed that Article 8 of the Agreement does not preclude the Community, if the conditions are fulfilled, from applying the safeguard measures for one or more of its regions in conformity with the principles of the internal market.

In such an event, Singapore shall be informed in advance of the relevant provisions of Protocol A to the Agreement to be applied, as appropriate.

For the Government of the Republic of Singapore

For the Council of the European Communities

Appendix 5 Agreed Minute No 2

Notwithstanding Article 12 (1) of this Agreement, for imperative technical or administrative reasons or to find a solution to economic problems resulting from regional concentration of imports, or in order to combat circumvention and fraud of the provisions of this Agreement, the Community will establish for a limited period of time a specific management system in conformity with the principles of the internal market.

However, if the Parties are unable to reach a satisfactory solution during the consultations provided for in Article 12 (3), the Community may also introduce temporary limits for one or more of its regions. In such a case, these limits shall not preclude the importation into the region(s) concerned of products which were shipped from Singapore on the basis of export licences obtained before the date of formal notification to Singapore by the Community about the introduction of the above limits.

The Community shall inform Singapore of the technical and administrative measures, such as defined in the attached note verbale, that need to be introduced by both Parties in order to implement the above paragraphs in conformity with the principles of the internal market.

The Directorate-General wishes to inform the Mission of the Republic of Singapore that the Community has decided to apply, starting from 1 January 1993, the provisions of paragraph 1 of Agreed Minute No 2 to the exchange of letters initialled on 26 November 1992. Consequently, the corresponding provisions of Articles 6 and 11 of Protocol A to the Agreement shall also be applied as of the above date.

The Directorate-General for External Relations avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Mission of the Republic of Singapore to the European Communities the assurance of its highest consideration.

Appendix 6 Agreed Minute No 3

In the context of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Singapore on trade in textile and clothing products, initialled in Brussels on 26 November 1992, the Parties agreed that Singapore shall endeavour not to deprive certain regions of the Community which have traditionally had relatively small shares of Community quotas of imports of products serving as inputs for their processing industry.

The Community and Singapore further agreed to hold consultations, should the need arise, in order to avert any problems which might occur in this respect.

The Parties agreed that this Agreed Minute replaces the corresponding Agreed Minute of the Agreement on this subject.

For the Government of the Republic of Singapore

For the Council of the European Communities

Exchange of notes The Directorate-General for External Relations of the Commission of the European Communities presents its compliments to the Mission of the Republic of Singapore to the European Communities and has the honour to refer to the Agreement on textile products between the Republic of Singapore and the Community applied since 1 January 1987, as extended by the exchange of letters initialled on 25 October 1991 and as further extended by the exchange of letters initialled on 26 November 1992.

This is on the understanding that either Party may at any time terminate this de facto application of the extended Agreement provided that 120 days' notice is given.

The Directorate-General for External Relations would be grateful if the Mission would confirm its Agreement to the foregoing.

The Directorate-General for External Relations avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Mission of the Republic of Singapore to the European Communities the assurance of its highest consideration.

Should a sudden and prejudicial change in traditional trade flows arise, the Community will be entitled to request consultations in order to find a satisfactory solution to those problems. Such consultations must be held within 15 working days of their being requested by the Community.

4. Singapore shall endeavour to ensure that exports of textile products subject to quantitative limits into the Community are spaced out as evenly as possible over the year due account being taken in particular of seasonal factors."

However, if the Agreement on trade in textiles and clothing products resulting from the Uruguay Round GATT trade negotiations is concluded and enters into force at an earlier date, this Agreement shall be automatically terminated as of the date agreed for the implementation of the results of the Uruguay Round GATT trade negotiations."

2.8. The first sentence of Article 6 (1) of Protocol A is replaced by the following:

"1. The export licence or export certificate shall conform to the model annexed to this Protocol and it shall be valid for exports throughout the customs territory to which the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community is applied. However, where the Community has made recourse to the provisions of Article 8 in accordance with the provisions of the Agreed Minute No 1, or to the Agreed Minute No 2, the textile products covered by the export licences or export certificates can only be put into free circulation in the region(s) of the Community indicated in those licences or certificates."

2.9. The second indent of Article 11 (1) of Protocol A to the Agreement is replaced by the following:

"The import authorizations shall be valid for six months from the date of their issue for imports throughout the customs territory to which the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community is applied. However, where the Community has recourse to the provisions of Article 8 in accordance with the provisions of the Agreed Minute No 1, or to Agreed Minute No 2, the products covered by the import licences can only be put into free circulation in the region(s) of the Community indicated in those licences."

2.10. The second and fifth indents of Article 13 (2) of Protocol A are replaced by the following:

3. The Parties agreed that this Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the day on which the Parties have notified each other that the legal procedures necessary to this end have been completed.

The Parties also agreed that this Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters and the amendments hereby to the Agreement of 1987, as extended, shall be applied provisionally from 1 January 1993.

Appendix 6 Agreed Minute No 3

In the context of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Singapore on trade in textile and clothing products, initialled in Brussels on 26 November 1992, the Parties agreed that Singapore shall endeavour not to deprive certain regions of the Community which have traditionally had relatively small shares of Community quotas of imports of products serving as inputs for their processing industry.

The Parties agreed that this Agreed Minute replaces the corresponding Agreed Minute of the Agreement on this subject.
