COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
COM(84) 146 final
Brussels, 22 March 1984
Recommendation for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
concerning the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Economic 
Community and the United Mexican States
(submitted to the Council by the Commission)
COM(84) 146 final

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorised the Commis­
sion to open negotiations with Mexico with a view to the conclusion  
of an agreement on trade in textile products.
2. In accordance with that Council Decision, and in consultation with  
the Article 113 Committee, the Commission conducted negotiations with  
Mexico from 26 July to 21 October 1982.
Following the negotiations, a draft Agreement was drawn up.
The draft Agreement:
(i) covers all MFA products of wool, cotton and man-made fibres  
originating in Mexico,
(ii) calls for voluntary restraint, at agreed levels, on exports  
to the Community of certain categories of products covered by  
the Agreement,
(iii) provides for a consultation procedure whereby voluntary
restraint measures may be introduced for categories of pro­
ducts not initially subject to limitation, where certain  
thresholds are exceeded,
(iv) establishes a double checking System for categories of pro­
ducts subject to limitation, and an origin control System for  
all categories covered by the Agreement,
(v) includes a flexibility clause allowing the transfer of a
certain percentage of the quotas from category to category,  
or from one year to another,
(vi) includes an "anti-surge" clause allowing in certain circum-
stances the Suspension of flexibility or the introduction of  
temporary limits within quotas,
(vii)  includes an "anti-fraud" clause allowing in certain circum-
stances the debiting against the quota of the true country of  
origin of quantities shipped fraudulently,
(viii)  in exchange for limitation, contains an undertaking by the  
Community not to introduce further quantitative restrictions  
under Article XIX of the GATT or Article 3 of the MFA, or to  
measures having an effect equivalent to quantitative restric­
tions./-

-2-
The Heads of the Delegation initialled the text of the draft Agree  
ment on 21 October 1982, having noted that it correctly represented  
the results of the negotiations.
3. In order to ensure that the successful implementation of the Agree­
ment should not be put at risk and to prevent a flood of exports  
preceding its entry into force, the Community, following the conclu­
sion of the negotiations, proposed to the third countries that until  
such time as the Agreement entered into force both parties should  
apply its provisions on an autonomous basis as from 1 January 1983.  
These provisions were put into effect by Council Regulation (EEC) N  
3589/82 of 23 December 1982 making the importation into the  
Community of textile products originating in certain third countries
subject to authorisation and quantitative limitation, as amended by
(2)
Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3762/83 of 19 December 1983
4. The Commission considers that the draft Agreement embodies an  
arrangement which is acceptable to the Community.  It therefore recom­
mends that the Council:
(1) approve the Agreement by adopting the regulation, the draft
of which is annexed hereto,
(ii) pending approval of the Agreement, take the necessary  
decisions in connection with the signing thereof.

Brussels, October 21, 1982.
Dear Mr. Krenzler:
I have the honour to refer to the Agreement  
on Trade and Textiles initialled on October 21, 1982.
In this connection, I understood you to make  
the following comments:
1.  Article 8
If the provisions of Article 8 of the  
agreement are invoked in respect of  
Category 2,  the quantitative limits  
existing in respect of that category  
under the bilateral textile agreement  
expiring on 31 December 1982 will serve  
as a basic reference.
In the event of recourse to Article 8,  
the Community would not set a definitive  
limit until such times as the full import  
statistics are available for any preceeding  
vear.
2. Article 13
You explained to me that Article 13, Paragraph 1  
was a standard provision in the Community s  
bilateral agreements. However, it was your  
understanding that Article 13, Paragraph 1  
was not necessarily applicable to Mexico.

CONFIDENTIAL
3. Article 5 / Protocol B
You explained that Article 5 and Protocol B  
were inapplicable unless and until the product  
concerned was subject to quantitative limitation.  
In consequence, in view of past experience and  
the actual product under limitation it seemed  
unlikely that quantitative limits would be  
necessary for products covered by A.rticle 5  
during the new agreement.
Article -~ ,  Ptrauraoh 2
I understood you to say that this provision was  
intended to avoid undue delay in the apolication  
of Article 9. However, the Community would aive  
due consideration to the practical difficulties  
which could arise in reaching agreement within  
the period specified.MISION OE MEXICO 
A N T E  U A S  COMUNIOAOES EUROPEA3
Having regard to the implementation of the  
previous Agreement, the need for recourse to  
the provisions of Paragraphs 3 and 4 of this  
Article seems unlikely.
I would be grateful if you would be kind enough5. Article 12
to confirm the contents of this letter.

In consequence, in view of past experience and the actual product 
under limitation it seemed unlikely that quantitative limits would be 
necessary for products covered by Article 5 during the new agreement.
4.Article 17, Paragraph 2
I understood you to say that this provision was intended to avoid 
undue delay in the application of Article 9. However, the Community 
would give due consideration to the practical difficulties which 
could arise in reaching agreement within the period specified.
5. Article 1 2
Having regard to the implementation of the previous Agreement, the 
need for recourse to the provisions of Paragraphs 3 and 4 of this 
Article seems unlikely.
I would be grateful if you would be kind enough to confirm the contents 
of this letter."
I acknowledge receipt of this letter and confirm its contents.

Ambassador,
I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 
the content of which is as follows:
"At the moment of initialling the Agreement, the Mexican delegation 
reserved the right for the Mexican Government, should the provisions 
of Article 9 and/or those concerning unilateral action in Articles 
8 and 12 be modified in a subsequent agreement providing for quantitative 
limits concluded by the Community with another exporting country, to 
replace the present provisions in the Agreement to be signed between 
Mexico and the Community by the corresponding modified version or 
versions. I understand that you do not contest this right."
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Krenzler:
At the moment of initialling the Agreement,  
the Mexican delegation reserved the right for the  
Mexican Government, should the provisions of  
Article 9 and/or those concerning unilateral action  
in Articles 8 and 12 be modified in a subsequent  
agreement providing for quantitative limits concluded  
by the Community with another exporting country,  
to replace the present provisions in the Agreement  
to be signed between Mexico and the Community by the  
corresponding modified version or versions.
I understand that you do not contest this right.
Sincerely yours,
Francisco Cuevas Cancino
Ambassador
