RECOMMENDATION FOR A  COUNCIL REGULATION
CONCERNING THE CONCLUSION OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE  
EUROPEAN COMMUNITY AND MALAYSIA O N  TRADE IN TEXTILE PRODUCTS
(su b m itted  to the Council by the Commission)
CO M(85 ) 17 f in a l

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorised the Commission
to open negotiations with Malaysia 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
Malaysia from 7 June to 22 November 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 Malaysia,
(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 re­
straint measures may be introduced for categories of products 
not initially subject to limitation, where certain thresholds 
are exceeded,
(iv)  establishes a double checking system for categories of products 
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,
l
(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 Agreement 
on 22 November 1982, having noted that it correctly represented the 
results of the negotiations.
3. In order to ensure that the successful implementation of the Agreement
should not be put at risk and to prevent a flood of exports preceding
its entry into force, the Community, following the conclusion 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 Council
(2)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:
(i) 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.

Dear Mr. Ahmad Saadi,
%
With reference to Article 8 of the Agreement between tho Community and 
Malaysia on trade in textile products initialled on 22nd November, 1982 
I have the honour to confirm the Community'  s agreement to the following :
(1) Where the Community invoices the provisions of the basket exit mechanism 
in cases of categories which have been transferred from Groups III to V in 
the Agreement ending December 1982 to Group II in the Agreement commencing 
January 1983, the Community will take into account the basket exit levels which 
existed in the Agreement ending in December 1982.
In this regard Malaysia expressod special interest in categories : 3 9 »  7 3 ,  8 1 »  83 
for which the basket exit levels which existed in the Agreement ending in 
December 1982 shall be taken into due account.
(2) The Community confirms that the levels referred to in paragraph 4  of Article 8 
constitute minimum levels which can be increased to take into due account the 
most recent import statistics available or other relevant circumstances.
Yours sincerely,
Horst G· KRSIZLEFi

During the course of the negotiations for the conclusion ^  
of a new bilateral agreement on trade in textile products 
between the E . E . C .  and Malaysia, the Community explained 
the mechanism proposed for the transfer of proportions of 
particular regional quota shares of the Community between the 
Asean countries and presented a proposal as annexed conceming- 
the application of such a meohaniBm on the import side.
The Malaysian Delegation expressed its appreciation of the 
Community's efforts in making the proposal and undertook to
study it.
The Malaysian Delegation expressed the view that more time was 
needed to e'xamine the implications of the Community's proposal in 
view of the administrative problems involved. It was therefore 
'  agreed that the two sides Bhould revert to this matter at a later
stage.
Brussel, 22 November 19Ô2

Dear Mr. Ahmad Saadi,
In connection with the Agreement on Trade in Textile Products between  
the European Economic Community and Malaysia initialled
on 22 November 1982 I have the honour to propose the following:
Transfers into any Category of Group I may be made, after notification,  
up to 5$ of the regional share of a quantitative limit to which the  
transfer is made, provided that an equivalent quantity is deducted from  
the share of the corresponding quantitative limit for the same region  
established in the Community's Agreement with another ASEAN country.
Transfers into any Category of Groups II and III may be made, after  
notification, up to 10$ of the regional share of a quantitative limit  
to which the transfer is made, provided that an equivalent quantity is  
deducted from the share of the corresponding quantitative limit for  
the same region established in the Community's Agreement with another  
ASEAN country*
Implementation of such transfers shall be subject to receipt of a  
corresponding notification from the ASEAN country accepting a deduction  
of the quantitative limit concerned.
Such transfers shall be applicable for the year during which the notifica­
tion is made.
I should be grateful for your confirmation that this proposal is  
acceptable to you and that this exchange of letters shall constitute an  
agreement between the European Economic Community and Malaysia*
Tours faithfully,
H, G· Krenzler

AGREED MINUTE
Delegations of the European Economic Community and of Malaysia  
met from 16 to 22 November to finalise the negotiations for the  
renewal of the bilateral textile agreement which expires on  
31 December 1982.
November 1982. On this occasion the following was also agreed:
1. Carry-over to the quantitative limits for the year 1983 of 
quantities not used in 1982 is authorised up to 5 $ ofi the 
corresponding quantitative limits for 1983»
'  Advance use of a portion of quintitative limitfc for
1983 is authorised for any quantitative limit for the year 1982  
up to 5 56, subject to an agreement of the two parties establishing  
the de facto-application of the new bilateral agreement.
At Malaysia's request, the Community will favourably consider  
additional flexibility (swing) between categories 4 and 5 up to  
5 $ (maximum 10 $>) concerning the Community's region of Germany
v
and Benelux.
2. As regards the consultation period foreseen in Art. 17 § 2,
Malaysia drew attention to the major practical difficulties to  
which so short a period could give rise in the case of Malaysia.
The Community expressed understanding for such practical difficulties.These ne. igotiations led to the initialling of an agreement on 22*
