EXPLANATORY lEHORAlDUM
1.Initsofferongeneralized preferences theCommunity hasinprinciple
restricted thegrantofpreferences oncottontextileproducts andon
substitute productstodeveloping countries whichhavesignedtheLong
TermArrangement onInternational TradeinCottonTextiles (LTA).It
tooktheview,however,thatpreferences fortheseproducts canalsobe
grantedtocountries whichhavenotsignedtheLTA,provided such
countries enterintocommitments towardstheCommunity similartothose
obtaining underthatArrangement .
2.Inaccordance withthewishexpressed bytheYugoslav delegation at
meetings ofthejointEBC-Yugoslavia Commission in1971and1972,
negotiations havetakenplacebetweenYugoslavia andtheEECforthe
conclusion ofanAgreement onTradeinCottonTextiles .ThisAgreement ,
whichwassignedon17April1973mustcomeintoforceon1June1973
Itinvolves ,interalia,acommitment onthepartofYugoslavia toapply
thenecessary measures toensurethat.portsofcottontextiles tothe
Community donotexceedcertainfixedquantities .
3.Thecommitments enteredintobyYugoslavia towardstheCommunity
underthatAgreement maybeconsidered assimilartothoseoftheLTA.
TheCommission consequently proposes toextendtoYugoslavia thebenefit
ofgeneralized preferences forcottontextiles andsubstitute products
according tocertainarrangements setoutbelow:
(a)Generalized tariffpreferences forcottontextilesandsubstitute
products fromYugoslavia aretobegrantedonlyfortheperiod
ofvalidity oftheLongTermArrangement onInternational Trade

(c)TheceilingsopenedforYugoslavia areequaltothemaximum
