form, "CN") and any amendments thereof. The Russian customs tariff shall be 
applied to the classification of goods for imports of those products into Russia. 
The Parties agree that the introduction of changes, such as changes in practices, 
rules, procedures, and categorisation of textile products, including those changes 
relating to the Harmonised System and the Combined Nomenclature and the 
Russian customs tariffs in respect of the products set out in Annex 1 should not 
affect the balance of rights and obligations between the Parties under this 
Agreement; adversely affect the access available to a Party; impede, the full 
utilization of such access, or disrupt trade under this Agreement. The Party 
initiating any such changes shall inform the other Party before their entry into

^ 
Article 3 
1. The Parties agree that, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 4, imports of 
textile products from either Party may only be made subject to quantitative 
restraint in accordance with Article 17 of the Partnership and Cooperation 
Agreement. 
2. For a period of three years following the date on which this Agreement enters into 
application: 
- the level of any quantitative restraint fixed under the provisions 
referred to in paragraph 1 in respect of imports of textile products shall 
be set at a level not lower than the actual level of exports or imports 
from the Party concerned during the 12-month period terminating two 
months preceding the month in which the request for consultation was 
made or the date on which the measures were introduced: 
- for those categories of textile products previously subject to 
quantitative limits and set out in Annex 2, any quantitative restraint 
fixed under the provisions referred to in paragraph 1 for a category of 
products shall be set at a level not lower than the level of the 1997 
quota for the category in question and shall not be triggered until 
imports into the European Community of products of Russian origin 
of that category have reached 5% of the total imports into the 
European Community for that category. 
3. The Parties agree to consult fully pursuant to Article 5 in the event of the 
application of this Article. 
Article 4 
The Parties, agree that circumvention by transhipment, re-routing, false declaration 
concerning country or place or origin, and falsification of official documents, 
frustrates the effective functioning of this Agreement. Accordingly, the Parties 
agree to establish the necessary legal provisions and/or administrative procedures 
to address and take action against such circumvention. The Parties agree further 
that, consistent with their domestic laws and procedures, they will cooperate fully 
to address problems arising from circumvention. 
Should either Party believe that this Agreement is being circumvented by 
transhipment, re-routing, false declaration concerning country or place of origin, 
or falsification of official documents, and that no, or inadequate, measures are 
being applied to address and/or to take action against such circumvention, the 
Party should consult with the other with a view to seeking a mutually satisfactory 
solution. Such consultations should be held promptly, and within 30 days when 
possible. 
The Parlies agree to take necessary action, consistent with their domestic laws and 
procedures, to prevent, to investigate and, where appropriate, to take legal and/or 
administrative action against circumvention practices within their territory. The 
Parties agree to cooperate fully, consistent with their domestic laws and 
procedures, in instances of circumvention or alleged circumvention of this 
Agreement, to establish the relevant facts in the places of import, export and, 
where applicable, transhipment. It is agreed that such cooperation, consistent with 
domestic laws and procedures, will include : investigation of circumvention 
practices which increase restrained exports to the Party maintaining such 
restraints; exchange of documents, correspondence, reports and other relevant 
information to the extent available; and facilitation of plant visits and contacts, 
upon request and on a case-by-case basis. The Party should endeavour to clarify 
the circumstances of any such instances of circumvention or alleged 
circumvention, including the respective roles of the exporters or importers 
involved. 
Where, as a result of investigation, there is sufficient evidence that circumvention 
has occurred (e.g. where evidence is available concerning the country or place of 
true origin, and the circumstances of such circumvention) the Parties agree that 
appropriate action, to the extent necessary to address the problem, should be 
taken. Also, where there is evidence of the involvement of the territory of either 
Party through which goods have been transhipped, such action may include the 
introduction of restraints with respect to the Party concerned. Any such actions, 
together with their timing and scope, may be taken after consultations held with a 
view to arriving at a mutually satisfactory solution between the Parties. The 
Parties may agree on other remedies in consultation. 
The Parties agree that false declaration concerning fibre content, quantities, 
description or classification of merchandise also frustrates the objective of this 
Agreement. Where there is evidence that any such false declaration has been 
made for purposes of circumvention, the Parties agree that appropriate measures, 
consistent with domestic laws and procedures, should be taken against the 
exporters or importers involved. Should either Party believe that this Agreement 
is being circumvented by such false declaration and that no, or inadequate, 
administrative measures are being applied to address and/or to take action against 
such circumvention, that Party should consult promptly with the other with a view 
to seeking a mutually satisfactory solution. This provision is not intended to 
prevent Parties from making technical adjustments when inadvertent errors in 
declarations have been made. 
In order to facilitate the cooperation foreseen under this Article. Russia undertakes 
to issue automatic export authorisations according to the relevant Russian 
legislation in respect of exports of textile products previously subject to 
quantitative limits and set out in Annex 2. 
<? 
\\ For those categories subject ^to the issue of export licences the competent 
authorities of the European Community will issue import authorizations only on 
the presentation of export authorizations issued by the competent Russian 
authorities 
Russia undertakes to transmit, on a weekly basis, information on quantities 
covered by the automatic export authorisations referred to above. This may be 
carried out by way of an electronic linkage between the competent Russian 
authorities and the Système Intégré de Gestion de Licenses (hereinafter referred to 
as 'SIGL') as established by the Community. The Community will ensure full 
technical and financial assistance in setting up such linkage, within the limits of 
TACIS programme. 
In case of significant and unjustified discrepancies between the information 
received through the electronic linkage with SIGL and the export authorizations 
submitted to the competent authorities of the European Community, either Party 
may request consultations under Article 5 of the Agreement in order to identify 
the reasons for the discrepancies. Should these discrepancies be due to fraudulent 
transhipment of products not originating in Russia the Parties will agree 
appropriate measures in order to avoid their recurrence. 
This system of double checking shall be maintained for as long as both Parties so 
desire. 
Following a request from one Party the other Party shall provide data on a 
monthly basis in respect of its exports of the specific categories of textile products 
products exported to the Party making the request. 
Article 5 
1. Save where it is otherwise provided, the special consultation procedures referred 
to in this Agreement shall be governed by the following rules: 
any request for consultations shall be notified in writing to the other Party, 
the request for consultation shall be followed within 15 days of the notification by 
a statement setting out the reasons and circumstances which, in the opinion of the 
requesting Party, justify the submission of such a request, 
the Parties shall enter into consultations within one month of notification of the 
request at the latest, with a view to reaching agreement or a mutually acceptable 
conclusion within one further month at the latest. 
2. If necessary, at the request of either of the Parties, consultations shall be held on 
any problems arising from the application of this Agreement. Any consultations 
held under this Article shall take place in a spirit of cooperation and with a desire 
to reconcile the differences between the Parties. 
;o 
Article 6 
1. This Agreement shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the 
date on which the Parties notify each other of the completion of the procedures 
necessary for that purpose. In the meantime it shall be applicable on a provisional 
basis, subject to reciprocity. 
2. This Agreement shall be in force for the duration of the Partnership and 
Cooperation Agreement. 
3. Either Party may at any time propose consultations in accordance with Article 5 
with a view to agreeing amendments to this Agreement. 
4. Without prejudice to the removal of restrictions foreseen by Article 1, the 
operation of this Agreement shall in any event be reviewed if Russia becomes a 
Member of the World Trade Organization during the validity of this Agreement. 
5. Either Party may. at any time, denounce this Agreement by notifying the other 
Party. This Agreement shall cease to apply six months alter the date of such 
notification.
