Proposal for a  
CQUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
am ending Regulation ( E E C )  N o  3061/79 o n  c o m m o n  rules for im ports o f 
certain textile products originating in the People's Republic of C h in a
(submitted to the Council by the Commission)
COM(83) 782 final

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Council Regulation (E E C ) N o. 3061/79 of 20 D ecem ber 1979 (1) established  
c o m m o n  rules for imports into the C om m u n ity of textile products originating  
in China.
These rules were introduced following the conclusion of a bilateral agreement, 
and are valid until 3 1  D ecem ber 1983.
T h e  agreement concerning textile products applies until 3 1  D ecem ber 1983 but  
is tacitly extended for a  further 5  years unless 6  months' notice of  
denunciation is given b y either party. Since it has not been denounced it  
will continue to apply in 1984. Quantitative limits covering the C om m unity's  
textile imports from  C hina have however been specified in the agreement only  
until 3 1  D ecem ber 1983. Negotiations began on 2 1  N ovem ber to consider inter  
alia the quantitative limits which should apply from  1  January  1984.
These negotiations were suspended on 13 D ecem ber and w ill  continue in 1984.
In order to ensure, as a  matter of priority, that trade in textile products  
continues without disruptions, and to ensure that there is no legal void  
between the present regime and that which is currently under negotiation,  
it appears necessary to extend, for the year 1984 only, the quantitative  
limits already established pursuant to the agreement, as increased by the  
relevant growth rates.
This is without prejudice to the results of the continuing negotiations  
between C hina and the C om m unity.
T h e  attached proposal for a  Regulation introducing these am ended limits  
for the year 1984 is hereby submitted to the Council for adoption as soon  
as possible, but not later than 3 1  D ecem ber 1983.
