EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM-------------------------------- ----- t
1.
 By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorised the Commission
to open negotiations with Macao 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
M aca o  from  19.7. to 3.12.1982.
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 Macao;
(ii) calls for voluntary restraint, at agreed levels, on exports to  
the Community of certain categories of products covered by thp  
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 cacfegory, 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,
(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-  
ti ons.
/-

-2-
The Heads of the Delegation initialled the text of the draft Agreement  
on 3rd decem ber 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
.  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 t;hat 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.

Brussels/ 3 December  1982
Dear Mr Krenzler,
1. During the negotiation;, leading to our Agreement on trade in 
textile products initialled on 3.12.1982/you explained to 
r,e that the EEC would only have recourse to Article 11/ 
paragraph 4 as a last resort, and only if all possibilities 
of reaching an agreed solution are exhausted.
2. In this connection and with a view to minimizing possible 
recourse to Article 11, paragraph 4, Macao is prepared to 
strengthen cooperation having regard to the administration 
and technical procedures in force in the Community and Macao 
for the implementation of this Agreement.
3. Your also expressed concern regarding circumvention arising 
from imports into the Community before 1st January 1983.
