Recommendation for a Council Regulation  
concerning the conclusion of the Agreement  
between the European Economic Community  
and the Arab Republic of Egypt  
on trade in textile products
(presented by the Commission to the Council)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorised the Commission
to open negotiations with Egypt with a view to the conclusion of an
agreement on trade in textile products.
In accordance with that Council Decision, and in consultation with the
Article 113 Committee, the Commission conducted negotiations with
Egypt from 22 June to 24 September 1982.
Following the negotiations, a draft Agreement was drawn up.
The draft Agreement:
(i) covers products of cotton OTiginatinq in.Egypt,
f-
(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,
(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,
i) 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 24 September 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 v  .
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. Mantawi,
I have the honour to bring to your attention the following  
elements concerning article 21 of Protocol A  of the Agreement,
1, I understand that in the framework of the close·cooperation
already existing between Egypt and the C om m unity, Egypt m ay invite  
i f  necessary, competent C om m unity officials to be  
present at the en<juiries referred to in Article 21, paragraph 2  
of Protocol A,
2· I understand also that information referred to in artiole 21
paragraph 4 of Protocol A, m a y  include, if  available and if  needed,  
information on trade between Egypt and other countries in products  
subject to the Agreement, and information on production of such  
products in Egypt«
Horst G, Krenzler

Dear Mr· Mantawi,
1« T he C om m unity confirme that the levels referred to in Para 4 of
Article 8 constitute m in im u m  levels which could be increased to take  
into account the most recent import statistics available.
2« It is also understood, that the reference to I 98O  trade levels in Para  
5 of Article 8 represents a m in im u m  level, that could be increased, i f  
the I 98O  trade performance of Egypt in the category concerned is  
abnormally low as com pared with the average Egyptian export levels of the  
category concerned to the C om m unity.
3# In the course of consultations under Article 8, the C om m unity will  
to the extent possible take into consideration the specific export  
Interests of Egypt w hen contemplating a mutually acceptable solution  
for an annual restraint level*
Horst G. Krenzler

Brussels,
Dear Mr. Maritavi,
1 have the honour to bring to your attention the following elements  
with regard to Article 9 of the Agreement:
1· Pursuant to Para 10 of the Protocol of Extension of the M F A  the C om m unity  
has proposed the provisions of Article 9 of the bilateral Agreement to  
meet a particular concern of the Com m unity, namely to prevent sharp and  
substantial increases in imports. In this way, the C om m unity is seeking  
to eliminate real risk of serious and palpable dam age to the domestio  
industry in the Com m unity.
té T he C om m unity has noted the oonoern expressed by Egypt concerning the  
possible application of Article 9 of the Agreem ent."
3« Should a situation arise that could lead to a recourse to the provisions  
of Article 9» it  is understood that the C om m unity would give full consider»  
ation to the m a x im u m  extent possible to Egypt's particular situation having  
only few categories subject to (juar.titative limitations.
4· W h en  contemplating possible solutions to problems related to Article 9,
Egypt's export interests as well as the C om m unity market situation will  
be considered in order to find a mutually satisfactory basis for an agreement,
3 · Given the fact that the C om m unity restraint level for category 4 has for  
the first time been agreed for the year 1983 , It is understood, that the 
year of application of Article 9 for this category shall be I 984.
Furthermore, the Egyptian delegation expressed particular concern about  
certain problems resulting from regional breakdown of the agreed Com m unity  
restraint levels. T he E C  Delegation expreosed its understanding of the  
Egyptian point of view and undertook to seek, as far as possible,
appropriate solutions to enable Egypt to fully u tilize the agreed C om m unity  
lim its.
