EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
(1) In accordance with the Council negotiating directives of September 1997, the 
Commission has negotiated an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters 
amending the existing Agreement between the European Community and the 
Socialist Republic of Vietnam on trade in textile and clothing products. This 
Agreement provides, on the one hand, for the removal of certain quantitative 
limits, the raising of other quantitative limits hitherto maintained by the 
Community on imports from Vietnam and the establishment of a double-checking 
system for certain products and, on the other hand, for better access for 
Community textile and clothing products to the Vietnamese market. 
(2) The Commission initialled this Agreement on 17 November 1997. 
(3) The Council is therefore invited to approve on behalf of the Community this 
proposal for a Council Decision on the provisional application of the Agreement 
in the form of an Exchange of Letters amending the existing Agreement 
between the European Community and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on 
trade in textile and clothing products pending the formal conclusion of that 
Agreement on behalf of the Community.

"Article 3 
1. Viet Nam agrees to limit its exports to the Community of products listed in Annex II to 
the amounts set out therein for each Agreement year. 
In the allocation of quantities for export to the Community, Viet Nam shall not 
discriminate against companies fully or partially owned by Community investors. 
2. Exports of textile products set out in Annex II shall be subject to a double-checking 
system as specified in Protocol A. 
3. In administering the quantitative limits referred to in paragraph 1, Viet Nam shall 
ensure that the Community textile industry benefits from utilisation of such limits. 
In particular, Viet Nam undertakes to reserve, as a priority, 30% of the quantitative limits 
for firms in that industry for a period of three months beginning on 1 January of each 
year. For this purpose, contracts made with such firms during the period in question and 
submitted to the Vietnamese authorities during the same period shall be taken into 
consideration. 
4. To facilitate the implementation of these provisions, the Community shall provide the 
competent Vietnamese authorities, before 31 October of each year, with a list of 
interested manufacturers and processors and of the indicative quantity of products 
requested for each firm. To this end, the firms concerned must make direct contact with 
the relevant Vietnamese bodies during the period specified in paragraph 3, in order to 
verify what quantities are available under the reserve referred to in paragraph 3. 
5. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and without prejudice to the quantitative 
system applicable to products subject to the operations referred to in Article 4, the 
Community undertakes to suspend the application of quantitative restrictions currently 
in force in respect of products covered by this Agreement. 
6. Exports of products referred to in Annex IV to the Agreement which are not subject 
to quantitative limits shall be subject to the double-checking system referred to in 
paragraph 2."

in Annex II for the following year shall be authorised for each category of products up to 
5% of the quantitative limit.for the current year.

Agreed Minute 
In the implementation of Article 3, Paragraph 1, of the Agreement, the government of Viet Nam

Commission with the texts of all relevant regulations and general administrative acts as 
promptly as they have been adopted. The Vietnamese government also undertakes to provide 
the Commission with statistics regarding quota allocation. The parties will decide upon content 
and format of such information. 
At the request of either party consultation may be held on specific matters related to quota 
allocation.
