Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DECISION 
on trade in certain steel products between 
the European Community and Ukraine 
(presented by the Commission) 
 
EN 2   EN EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM  
The Partnership and Cooperation Agreement be tween the European Communities and their 
Member States, on the one hand, and Ukraine,  on the other hand, provides in Article 22, 
paragraph 1, that trade in some  steel products shall be the subject of a specific Agreement on 
quantitative arrangements. The pr evious bilateral Agreement between the European Coal and 
Steel Community (ECSC) and the Government of  Ukraine on trade for certain steel products 
expired on 31 December 2001. After the expi ry of the ECSC Treaty, the European 
Community took over all rights and obligations of  international Agreements contracted by the 
ECSC. 
In the absence of an Agreement, autonom ous measures fixing quantitative limits on the 
imports of certain steel products were taken for the years 2002, 2003 and 2004. 
However, preliminary discussions between the Part ies indicate that both have the intention to 
conclude a new Agreement for 2005 and subsequent years. 
Pending the conclusion and entry into force of the new Agreement, autonomous measures 
fixing quantitative limits for the ye ar 2005 are necessary. Given that the conditions that led to 
the fixing of the quantitative limits for 2004 rema in in place, it is ap propriate to set the 
quantitative limits for the year 2005 at the same level as for th e year 2004, but by taking into 
account the EU enlargement fully. 
This Council Decision will be au tomatically repealed when th e new Agreement enters into 
force.

Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DECISION 
on trade in certain steel products between 
the European Community and Ukraine 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing th e European Community, and in particular 
Article 133 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas: (1) The Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Communities and 
their Member States, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part
1, provides in its 
Article 22 (1), that trade in  some steel products shall be  the subject of a specific 
Agreement on quantitative arrangements. 
(2) The previous bilateral Agreement between the European Coal and Steel Community 
(ECSC) and the Government of Ukraine on trade for certain stee l products expired on 
31 December 2001. 
(3) The European Community has taken over th e international obligat ions of the ECSC 
since the expiry of the ECSC  Treaty, and measures relating  to trade in steel products 
with third countries now fall under the comp etence of the Community in the field of 
trade policy. 
(4) Preliminary discussions between the Parties indicate that both have the intention to 
conclude a new Agreement for 2005 and subsequent years. 
(5) Pending the signature and the entry into force of the new Agreement, quantitative 
limits for the year 2005 should be established.  
(6) Given that the conditions that led to the fixing of the quantitative limits for 2004 
remain in place, it is appropriate to set th e quantitative limits for the year 2005 at the 
same level as for the year 2004, but by ta king into account the EU enlargement fully. 
(7) It is necessary to provide the means to ad minister this regime within the Community in 
such a way as to facilitate the implemen tation of the new Agreement by foreseeing as 
much as possible similar provisions. 
                                                 
1 OJ L 49, 19.2.1998, p. 3 
 
EN 4   EN (8) It is necessary to ensure that the orig in of the products in question is checked and 
appropriate methods of administrative cooperation are set up  to this end. 
(9) Products placed in a free zone or im ported under the arrangements governing customs 
warehouses, temporary importation or inward  processing (suspension system) should 
not be counted against the limits esta blished for the products in question.  
(10) The effective application of this Decisi on requires the introduction of a requirement of 
a Community import licence for the entry into free circulation in the Community of the products in question. 
(11) In order to ensure that these quantitat ive limits are not exceed ed, it is necessary to 
establish a management procedure whereby the competent authorities of the Member 
States will not issue import licences befo re obtaining prior confirmation from the 
Commission that appropriate amounts remain available within th e quantitative limit in 
question.
