COMMISSION  OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 
COM(83)  43  final 
Brussels,  31  January  1983 
Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL  REGULTION  (EEC) 
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3587/82 on import arrangements for certain textile 
products originating in Taiwan 
(submitted to the Council by the Commission) 
COM(83)  43  final 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM  Ct'fcf  43 
1. On 23 Deoember 1982 the  Council  adopted the Commission proposal for a 
regulation  on import arrangements for certain  textile  products originating 
in Taiwan  (Regulation  (EEC) NO  3587/82 1). 
2. The regulation  establishes  import arrangements  valid  from  1 January  1983 
to 31 December 1986 but only set the Community quantitative import quotas for 
the first six months of 1983. However, provision was made for the introduction 
by 1 July  this year of definitive quota arrangements for the whole period up 
to the end of 1986. 
3. The reason for adopting only short-term quantitative provisions was that 
negotiations  were  still going on with the main suppliers (including the "dominant" 
countries), and the  final  quantitative arrangements for  Taiwan  should not 
discriminate  against it in comparison with the other dominants with their 
1 
OJ No L 374, 31.12 1982. 
2 
Apart  from  Taiwan  itself,  the "dominant"  textile  suppliors are  Hong  Kong, 
South  Korea  and  Macao, contractually-based  arrangements 2 
On the other hand, it was thought necessary to have at luast a provisional 
quantitative arrangement in order to avoid disruption in  textile  trade with  Taiwan 
after the old import arrangement expired on 31 December. 
When  Regulation No  3587/82  was adopted, a joint  Council/Commission  statement  was 
entered in the minutes to the  effect  that every effort would be made to enable 
the Council  to adopt the definitive figures by the end o:'  January. 
4. Accordingly,  the annex to the attached proposal for a regulation  fixes 
Community  quantitative import quotas, broken down by  Member  State, for imports of 
certain  textile  products originating in  Taiwan  for the four years 1983 to 1986 
inclusive. It also includes  an  addition  at paragraph  3 of  Article  5 of' 
Regulation  No  3587/82,  so as to  ensure appropriate parallsls  with  the  similar 

- 2 -
provisions  in force  in the regulations covering other supplying countries. 
The Commission proposes  that  the Council adopt  without  delay the attached 
proposal  for a regulation.
