Kxplanatory îie^orandum
1.During theyear 1975 "theCommission adopted several protective measures
with regard toimports oftextile products originating intheRepublic ofKorea
andinTaiwan a-.ongst which vrereyarns ofsynthetic textile fibres ^"^and
(9)synthetic socks .Themeasures which concerned these twoproducts were
limited tothenarkets most affected ,i.e. forsynthetic yarns tothe
German market and for the socks tothe Benelux and German markets .
2o Since theadoption ofthese measures ,andapparently inresponse to
them ,theAsian exporters have diversified thedestinations oftheir exports
insuch awaythat they have nowaffected theFrench market forsocks andthe
French andBritish markets for synthetic yarn .
3o Inthecircumstances ,and inview ofthetardiness oftheKorean represent­
atives inpursuing andconcluding negotiations forself-restraint inthe
context oftheArrangement Regarding International Trade inTextiles ,the
French andtheBritish authorities made formal requests fortheurgent
establishment bytheCommission ofquotas forthese products .
4.Atthemeeting ofthecompetent Advisory Committee on31.10.75 "the
Commission 'sservices explained that inthepresent state ofaffairs and
inview oftheimminent re-opening ofnegotiations with Korea ,aprotective
measure consisting -intheestablishment ofquantifetive quotas would be
premature anduntimely .They therefore proposed ,asacompromise solution ,
theadoption ofatemporary holding measure consisting inthesuspension of
theissue of .-new import authorisations until theendofHieyear ,itbeing -
understood that imports covered bydocuments already granted could beaffected
freely .This solution wasapproved byalldelegations .
5° Forthese reasons theCommission adopted Regulation (EEC)No.2930/75
establishing interim protective measures regarding imports into France and
theUnited Kingdom ofcertain textile products originating intheRepublic of
Korea and inTaiwan .
