Where any decision on classification results in a change of classification 
practice or a change of category of any product subject to this Agreement the affected 
products shall follow the trade regime applicable to the practice or category they fall 
into after such changes. 
Any amendment to the combined nomenclature (CN) made in accordance with 
the procedures in force in the Community concerning categories of products covered 
by this Agreement or any decision relating to the classification of goods shall not have 
the effect of reducing quantitative limits introduced pursuant to this Agreement.

under the conditions referred to above shall be subject to the production of an export 
licence issued by the authorities of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and 
to proof of origin in accordance with the provisions of Appendix A.

that the products have subsequently been re-exported outside the Community, the 
authorities shall inform the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia authorities 
within four weeks of the quantities involved and authorise imports of identical

2, or 106% of the level of imports reached during the calendar year preceding that in 
which imports exceeded the level resulting from the application of the formula set out 
in paragraph 2 and gave rise to the request for consultations, whichever is the higher.

accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 14, with a view to fulfilling the 
conditions set out in paragraph 2, should the trend of total imports into the 
Community of the product in question make this necessary.

in paragraph 2 have been reached as a result of a fall in total imports into the 
Community, and not as a result of an increase in exports of products originating in the 
Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

authorise the imports of products of the category concerned shipped from the Former 
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia before the request for consultations was submitted.

be carried out for the quota year in which the request to open consultations in 
accordance with paragraph 2 was made, or for the following year if the quota for the 
current year is exhausted.

Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia have been imported in circumvention of the 
present Agreement, to set off the relevant quantities against the quantitative 
limits established under Article 8; 
(b) Where sufficient evidence shows that false declaration concerning fibre 
content, quantities, description or classification of products originating in the 
Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has occurred, to refuse to import the 
products in question; 
(c) Should it appear that the territory of the Former Yugoslav Republic of 
Macedonia is involved in transhipment or re-routing of products not 
originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, to introduce 
quantitative limits against the same products originating in the Former 
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia if they are not already subject to quantitative 
limits, or to take any other appropriate measures.

and to address effectively all problems arising from circumvention in accordance with 
the provisions of Appendix IA of this Agreement.

Article 18 
In order to ensure the correct application of this Appendix, the Community and 
the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia offer mutual assistance for the checking 
of ihc authenticity and the accuracy of export licences and certificates of origin issued 
or of any declarations made within the terms of this Appendix. 
Article 19 
The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall transmit to the 
Commission of the European Communities the names and addresses of the authorities 
competent to issue and verify the export licences and the certificates of origin, 
together with specimens of the stamps used by these authorities and specimen 
signatures of officials responsible for signing the export licences and the certificates 
of origin. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall also notify the 
Community of any change in this information. 
Article 20 
1. Subsequent verification of certificates of origin or export licences shall be 
canied out at random, or whenever the competent Community authorities have 
reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the certificate or licence or as to the 
accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the products in question. 
Ou 
2. In such cases, the competent authorities in the Community shall return the 
certificate of origin or the export licence or a copy thereof to the competent Former 
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia authorities, giving, where appropriate, the reasons 
of form or substance which justify an enquiry. If the invoice has been submitted, such

paragraphs 1 and 2 above shall be communicated to the competent authorities of the 
Community within three months at the latest. The information communicates shall 
indicate whether the disputed certificate, licence or declaration, applies to the goods 
actually exported and whether these goods are eligible for export under the 
arrangements established by this Agreement. The information shall also include, at the 
request of the Community , copies of all the documentation necessary to fully 
determine the facts, and in particular the true origin of the goods. 
Should such verifications reveal systematic irregularities in the use of 
declarations of origin, the Community may subject imports of the products in question 
to the provisions of Article 2, paragraph 1 of this Appendix. 
5. For the purpose of subsequent verification of certificates of origin, copies of 
the certificates as well as any export documents referring to them shall be kept for at 
least two years by the competent Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia authorities. 
6. Recourse to the random verification procedure specified in this Article must 
not constitute an obstacle to the release for home use of the products in question. 
ftr 
Article 21 
1. Where the verification procedure referred to in Article 20 or where 
information available to the competent authorities of the Community or of the Former 
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia indicates or appears to indicate that the provisions 
of this Agreement are being circumvented or infringed, the tow contracting Parties 
shall cooperate closely and with the appropriate urgency in order to prevent any such 
circumvention or infringement. 
2. To this end, the competent authorities of the Former Yugoslav Republic of 
Macedonia shall, on their own initiative or at the request of the Community, carry out 
appropriate inquiries, or arrange for such inquiries to be carried out, concerning 
operations which are, or appear to the Community to be, in circumvention or 
infringement of this Appendix. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall 
communicate the results of these inquiries to the Community, including any other 
pertinent information enabling the cause of the circumvention or infringement, 
including the true origin of the goods to be determined.

4. In pursuance of the cooperation referred to in paragraph 1 above, the 
competent authorities of the Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of 
Macedonia shall exchange any information considered by either contracting Party to 
be of use in preventing circumvention or infringement of the provisions of this 
Agreement. These exchanges may include information on the production of textiles 
products in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and on the trade in the type 
of products covered by this Agreement between the Former Yugoslav Republic of 
Macedonia and third countries, particularly where the Community has reasonable 
grounds to consider that the products in question may be in transit across the territory 
of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia prior to their importation into the 
Community. This information may include at the request of the Community copies of 
all available relevant documentation. 
Ht 
5. Where sufficient evidence shows that the provisions of this Appendix have 
been circumvented or infringed, the competent authorities of the Former Yugoslav 
Republic of Macedonia and the Community may agree to take the measures set out in 
Article 10, paragraph 4 of the Agreement, and any other measures as are necessary to 
prevent a recurrence of such circumvention or infringement.
