THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries (1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 3289/94 (2), and in particular Article 2 of Annex VII in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,

Whereas Article 2 of Annex VII to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits for the re-importation into the European Community of certain textile products after outward processing operations in certain third countries may be established;

Whereas Article 2 of Annex VII to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 stipulates that quantitative limits on re-imports may be established for textile products which are subject to the quantitative limits laid down in Article 2 of the abovementioned Regulation;

Whereas a request has been put to the European Commission by certain Member States for the introduction of quantitative limits for re-imports into the European Community of certain textile products (categories 13, 14, 17, 29, 159 and 161) originating in the People's Republic of China after outward processing operations in the People's Republic of China; whereas direct imports of textile products falling under categories 13, 14, 17, 29, 159 and 161 are subject to quantitative limits laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93;

Whereas the Committee set up under Article 17 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 has, after discussion, deemed it appropriate to decide upon the introduction of the quantitative limits specified in the Annex hereto;

Whereas it is therefore necessary to establish the quantitative limits specified in the Annex hereto on re-imports of certain textile products (categories 13, 14, 17, 29, 159 and 161) into the European Community originating in the People's Republic of China after outward processing operations in the People's Republic of China;

Whereas the provisions on outward traffic contained in Annex VII to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 should apply to the re-imports of products for which quantitative limits have been established under this Regulation;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Re-imports into the European Community of textile products originating in the People's Republic of China after outward processing operations in the People's Republic of China specified in the Annex to the present Regulation shall be subject to the quantitative limits set out in that Annex to be administered in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Community Regulations on economic outward processing such as those provided for in Annex VII to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.
