WHEREAS IT IS ALSO NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN EFFICIENT AND RAPID PROCEDURES FOR ALTERING COMMUNITY QUANTITATIVE LIMITS AND THEIR ALLOCATION TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRADE FLOWS , NEEDS FOR ADDITIONAL IMPORTS AND THE COMMUNITY'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT ;

WHEREAS , IN RESPECT OF CERTAIN TEXTILE PRODUCTS UNDER LIMITATION , THE AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR A CONSULTATION PROCEDURE WITH CHINA WHEREBY A LIMIT TO THE GROWTH OF IMPORTS OF A PRODUCT MAY BE AGREED WHERE SIGNIFICANT USE OF ITS RELATED QUANTITATIVE LIMIT FOLLOWS A MARKED UNDER-USE ; WHEREAS CHINA ALSO AGREED TO LIMIT ITS EXPORTS , FROM THE TIME OF THE CONSULTATION REQUEST , TO A LEVEL ESTABLISHED IN THE AGREEMENT ; WHEREAS , IN THE ABSENCE OF AGREEMENT WITHIN THE SPECIFIED TIME LIMITS , CHINA AGREED TO LIMIT THE GROWTH IN ITS EXPORTS TO A LEVEL ESTABLISHED IN THE AGREEMENT ;

WHEREAS THE AGREEMENT ESTABLISHED A SYSTEM OF COOPERATION BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AND CHINA WITH THE AIM OF PREVENTING CIRCUMVENTION BY MEANS OF TRANSHIPMENT , RE-ROUTING OR OTHER MEANS ; WHEREAS A CONSULTATION PROCEDURE IS ESTABLISHED UNDER WHICH AN AGREEMENT CAN BE REACHED WITH CHINA ON AN EQUIVALENT ADJUSTMENT TO THE RELEVANT QUANTITATIVE LIMIT WHEN IT APPEARS THAT THE AGREEMENT HAS BEEN CIRCUMVENTED ; WHEREAS CHINA ALSO AGREED TO TAKE THE NECESSARY MEASURES TO ENSURE THAT ANY ADJUSTMENTS COULD BE RAPIDLY APPLIED ; WHEREAS , IN THE ABSENCE OF AGREEMENT WITH CHINA WITHIN THE TIME LIMIT PROVIDED , THE COMMUNITY MAY , WHERE CLEAR EVIDENCE OF CIRCUMVENTION IS PROVIDED , APPLY THE EQUIVALENT ADJUSTMENT ;

WHEREAS , IN ORDER INTER ALIA TO COMPLY WITH TIME LIMITS SET IN THE AGREEMENT , IT IS NECESSARY TO ESTABLISH A RAPID AND EFFICIENT PROCEDURE FOR INTRODUCING SUCH QUANTITATIVE LIMITS AND CONCLUDING SUCH AGREEMENTS WITH CHINA ;

WHEREAS , FOR PRACTICAL REASONS , IT IS CONVENIENT TO MAKE USE , FOR THE PURPOSES ENUMERATED ABOVE , OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE ALREADY SET UP BY REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 3589/82 ( 3 ) ;
