EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorised the Commission
to open negotiations with Hungary 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
Hungary from 1 June to 23 July 1982.
Following the negotiations, a draft Agreement was drawn up.
The draft Agreement:
(i) covers all MF A products of cotton wool, fine animal hair or 
man-made fibres originating in Hungary,
(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) includes a price clause which allows the Community to request 
consultations to deal with problems caused by abnormally low
I
export prices and under certain circumstances temporarily to
suspend imports,

-2-
^ix)  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.
an Following the negotiations, both parties further concluded 
Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters that certain products 
of flax and ramie should be subject to quantitative limits under the 
same conditions, and in accordance with the same administrative 
arrangements, as the less sensitive products covered by the draft 
Agreement on textile trade.
4. The Heads of the Delegation initialled the text of the draft Agreement 
and the exchange of letters on flax and ramie products on 23 July 1982
,  having noted that they correctly represented the results of the 
negotiations.
5. 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 (2).
5. The Commission considers that the draft Agreement and the exchange of 
letters on flax and ramie products represent arrangements which are 
acceptable to the Community. It therefore recommends that the Council: 
(i) approve the Agreement and the exchange of letters by adopting 
the regulation, the draft of which is annexed hereto,
(xi) pending approval of the Agreement and the exchange of letters,
take the necessary decisions in connection with the signing 
thereof.

of the importing country, and
- the prices generally charged for such products sold under normal market
conditions by other exporting countries on the market of the importing  
country, and
the lowest prices charged for such products sold under normal market  
conditions by any other exporting country in the three months preceding the  
request for consultations, and not having led to the adoption of any

2 during the consultation period, whichever is the higher.
In the event of the provisions of this paragraph being applied, the Community  
undertakes to maintain an offer of equitable and quantifiable compensation.
The application of the measures provided for in this paragraph is limited to  
the Agreement year in which the measures are taken.

quantitative limits established under this Agreement have been transshipped,  
rerouted or otherwise imported into the Commur.ity in circumvention of this  
Agreement, the Community may request the opening of consultations in

provisions of the Agreement have been contravened, both parties shall  
cooperate closely and with the appropriate urgency to prevent such  
contravention.

2. To this end any necessary enquiries shall be carried out into operations  
which may be considered to be in contravention of the Agreement. The results  
of these enquiries shall be communicated, together with any other pertinent  
information enabling the true origin of the goods to be determined.
3. In pursuance of the cooperation referred to in paragraph 1, Hungary ahd  
the Community shall exchange any information considered by either partner to  
be of use in preventing the contravention of the provisions of the Agreement. 4

contravened, Hungary and the Community may agree to take such measures as are  
necessary to prevent a recurrence of such contravention.

of Hungary as defined in a list agreed by common accord between the Parties  
and appended to this Protocol.
Exemption shall be granted only for products accompanied by a certificate
issued by the competent Hungarian authorities in accordance with the specimen  
annexed to this Protocol. Such certificates must state the grounds on which  
exemption is based and shall be accepted by the competent Community
authorities provided that they are satisfied that the products concerned  
conform to the conditions set out in this Protocol. Certificates for the  
products referred to in paragraph (c) must be clearly marked 'FOLKLORE*. In  
the event of a difference of opinion between Hungary and the competent
Community authorities at the point of entry into the Community concerning the  
nature of the products, consultations shall be held within a month in order to  
settle the difference. Should imports of any of the above products reach such  
proportions as to cause difficulties to the Community, the two Parties shall  
enter into consultations in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article  
15 of the Agreement with a view to finding a quantitative solution to the
problem.PROTOCOL B

AGREED MINUTE
At the initialling of the textile Agreement between the European  
Economic Community and the Hungarian People's Republic on trade in  
textile products the Community indicated that special arrangements  
applied to imports into Greece of category 8 products, in accordance  
with the Act of Accession of Greece to the Communities.
The Hungarian side maintained that the Community could not invoke  
such a provision against Hungary.
The parties agreed to hold consultations on the matter early in 1983.

Having regard to Protocol A concerning the procedure for the issue of  
export licences, the Parties have agreed that from the date of entry into  
force of the Agreement, the provisions set out in the attached Annex will  
be applied to Hungary's exports to the Federal Republic of Germany. The  
Community will give consideration to the question of extending the said  
provisions to Hungary's exports to other regions of the Community, and  
will notify Hungary without delay of any measures adopted in this sphere.

Annex to the Joint Declaration concerning the procedure  
for the issue of export licences
1. The competent Hungarian authorities may, at their discretion, issue an  
advance notice of exportation conforming to the specimen mentioned below for  
each contract for the supply of products subject to quantitative limitation  
which are to be exported. The said authorities undertake:
- to issue, before the shipment of products covered by an advance notice,  
an export licence/export licences, conforming to the specimen annexed  
to Protocol A, and to set off definitively the quantity of goods  
exported against the quantitative limit for the year in which 
exportation takes place,
- to ensure that the quantity exported does not exceed that specified in  
the advance notice,
- where exportation of goods covered by an advance notice does not take  
place in the course of the year specified in the said notice, to inform  
the competent authorities in the Community of this fact.
2. Where an advance notice has been issued, the number of such notice  
shall be indicated on each corresponding export licence.
3. On presentation of an advance notice of exportation, the competent  
authorities in the Community shall issue an import authorization or document  
in accordance with the provisions of Protocol A, and shall set off the  
quantity in question against the corresponding quantitative limit.
4. Where the total quantity or products exported, as indicated in the  
export licence(s), is lower than that shown in the corresponding advance  
notice, or where goods covered by an advance notice have not been or will  
not be exported in the course of the year specified in that notice, the 
competent authorities in the Community are required to take account of 
such circumstances for the purpose of calculating the imports to be set off  
against the relevant quantitative limits.

U N IL A T E R A L  D E C L A R A T IO N
In answer to a question from the Hungarian delegation concerning  
the breakdown of quantitative limits into quota shares for the  
Community Member States, the Community delegation would stress  
that the general consultation clause in Article 15(3) can also  
be invoked in connection with a modification of the regional  
allocation of quantitative limits, as indicated in Article 14(2) 
of the Agreement.
