Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3301/91 
on the arrangements for imports of certain textile products

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
This Communication contains a proposal for a Regulation amending Regulation 
(EEC) No 3301/91, with the aim of making it possible in the current 
political situation to continue to apply the quantitative restrictions of 
the autonomous arrangements for what was Yugoslavia to imports of textiles 
and clothing from the Yugoslav Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, 
Montenegro and Serbia and the Republics of Croatia and Slovenia. 
Implementation of these autonomous arrangements, pending the adoption of 
other contractual or autonomous legal instruments, will make it possible to 
monitor and limit imports from the Republics concerned, in line with the 
aims of the commercial policy for textiles, and to prevent differences 
among the Member States in the treatment applied to such imports.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3301/911 established Community

the trade concessions provided for in the Cooperation Agreement concluded 
by the European Economic Community and its Member States with Yugoslavia3 
and in related protocols and instruments, including the Additional Protocol 
on trade in textile products; 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 52/924 extended into 1992 the 
provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3301/91; 
Whereas certain republics which were part of the Socialist Federal Republic 
of Yugoslavia until 1 January 1992 have become independent states; 
Whereas the economic conditions in the Community which led to the 
establishment of the quantitative quotas still exist, notwithstanding the 
new independent status of the republics in question-,
