EXPLAÎTATORY ÎS -'OR/IIDIP -T
1. Initsoffer ongeneralized ,preferences theCommunity hasm
principle restricted thegrant ofpreferences oncotton textile products
andonsubstitute products todeveloping countries which have signed the
IongM^rm Arrangement onInternational 'Trade inCotton Textiles (LTA).
Ittook theview ,however ,that preferences forthese products can
also begranted tocountries which have notsigned theLTA ,provided such
countries enter into commitments towards theCommunity which are similar
tothose obtaining under theArrangement .
2.AnAgreement ontrade incotton textiles' *"wasconcluded byYugoslavia
andtheEECon18April 1973 foraperiod ofoneyear beginning on
1January 1973 .Under theAgreement Yugoslavia undertakes ,inter alia ,
totake appropriate measures toensure that exports ofitscotton textiles

totheCommunity donotexoeed oertain fixed quantities .Itisprovided
that theAgreement will "beextended foroneyear ifneither oftheParties
hasdemanded itonemonth before itsexpiry .
3. Thecommitments towards theCommunity entered into byYugoslavia
pursuant totheAgreement have been considered similar tothose ofthe
LTA .Community generalized preferences forcotton textiles andsubstitute
products have therefore been extended toYugoslavia until 31December 1973 ,
inaccordance with thearrangements setoutinCouncil Regulations (EEC )
Hos2171/73and2172/73of8"August 19731.
4. Since theLong-term Arrangement onCotton Textiles will expire on
31December 1973 following athree-month extension ,theCommission considers
that preferences forcotton textiles andsubstitute products need tobe
governed bytransitional arrangements after that date .Such transitional
arrangements inrespect ofcountries receiving preferences forcotton
textiles andsubstitute products could take theform ofmaintaining the
status quo ;thus theCommunity remains xvilling tocontinue granting theiji
preferential treatment forthese products ,solong asthose countries
2maintain the same commitments asbefore towards theCommunity .
5. ForYugoslavia theCommission feels that the same procedure should
apply ,solong asthat country maintains thesame commitments asbefore
vis-a-vistheCommunity under theAgreement concluded on18April 1973
theextension ofwhich foroneyear isenvisaged .

PROPOSAL FOR A
REGULATION (EEC)OPTHECOUNCIL
opening tariff preferences forcertain textile products originating
inYugoslavia
i
THECOUNCIL OPTHEEUROPEAN CQMK03JITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic Community ,
andinparticular Article 113thereof ;
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ;
Whereas within thecontext ofUNCTAD theEuropean Economic Community offered
togrant tariff preferences onfinished andsemi-finished products originating
indeveloping countries ;whereas thepreferential treatment proposed inthat
offer covers ,generally speaking ,allfinished andsemi-finished products
.falling within Chapters 25to99oftheBrussels Nomenclature andoriginating
indeveloping countries ;
*
Whereas ,however ,mrespect ofcotton textile products covered "bythe
Long-term Agreement onInternational Trade inCotton Textiles"' "theoffer
made "bytheCommunity lays down that thepreferences ,intheform ofduty-
free ceilings ,will begranted tothecountries benefiting from generalized
preferences which aresignatories totheLong-term Agreement orpossibly
tothose countries benefiting from generalized preferences which undertake
inrespect oftheCommunity commitments similar tothose existing under that
Agreement andforitsduration * ~ .
whereas ,having particular regard totherelation which Article 6ofthe
Long-term Agreement establishes between cotton products andsubstitute
products ,itappears justified inthese circumstances andbyvirtue ofthe
fact that atotal suspension ofcustoms duties isinvolved toinclude in
the same scheme asthat desesibed above those substitute textile products
given intheconditional list ofpartial andlimited reductions ofcustoms
duties deposited with GATT bytheCommunity during thelast series of
tariff negotiations ;

Whereas ascheme ofallocation ofCommunity tariff quotas among theMember
States oftheCommunity asoriginally constituted ,would appear toconform
totheCommunity character ofthose quotas ;whereas theapplication of
thegenerally accepted principles inrespect oftheallocation ofthe Coirom ^
tariff quotas which have "been opened until nowentails ,under these circum­
stances andinview ofthevariety oftheproducts concerned ,calculations
which areallthemore problematic inthat thestatistical data required
sometimes prove tobeincomplete ornot sufficiently accurate orrepresents
\*hereas thetime required forthese calculations cannot bereconciled with
thecontinuity necessary fortheapplication ofthetariff preferences
concerned ;whereas ,under these conditions ,itwould beadvisable still a.i
this stage toadopt afixed scale forallocating theCommunity tariff quota
concerned among theMember States ;whereas ,"onthe'basis ofgeneral econoa
criteria ,i.e. external trade inthetextile sector ,gross national produci
andpopulation ,thepercentages fortheinitial shares oftheMember States
inthequota amounts are asfollows fortheperiod under consideration :
Germany 27%
Bénélux 10%
' Prance 19%
Italy 14$
Denmark T/o
Ireland ■ 1%
United Kingdom 22%
Whereas ,since thequotas involved arerelatively small ,itappears possibi
without affecting theCommunity nature ofthetariff quotas under consider ;
toprovide atthis stage forautilization scheme based onasingle alloca
among theMember States ;whereas such allocation could bemade according t
thepercentages setoutinthetable above ;
Whereas since theKingdom ofBelgium ,theKingdom oftheNetherlands and
theGrand Duchy ofLuxembourg axeunited inandrepresented bytheBenelux
Economic Union fortheallocation ofthetariff quotas concerned ,anymeas
concerning theadministration ofthequota shares allocated tothat Econom
Union maybecarried outbyoneofitsMembers ;
