FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
RECOMMENDATION FOR A COUNCIL REGULATION
concerning the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Economic  
Community and the Federal Republic of Brazil on trade in textile product
(submitted to the Council by the Commission)
C0M(84) 333 final

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorised the Commis­
sion to open negotiations with Brazil with a view to the conclusion  
of an agreement on trade in textile products.
2. In accordance with that Council Decision, and in consultation with  
the Article 113 Committee, the Commission conducted negotiations with  
Brazil from 6 July to 24 November 1982,
Following the negotiations, a draft Agreement was drawn up.
The draft Agreement:
(i) covers all MFA products of wool, cotton and man-made fibres  
originating in Brazil,
(ii) calls for voluntary restraint, at agreed levels, on exports  
to the Comnunity of certain categories of products covered by  
the Agreement,
(iii) provides for a consultation procedure whereby voluntary
restraint measures may be introduced for categories of pro­
ducts not initially subject to limitation, where certain  
thresholds are exceeded,
(iv) establishes a double checking system for categories of pro­
ducts 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,
(viii) 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 Agree­
ment on 24 November 1982, having noted that it correctly represented  
the results of the negotiations.
3. In order to ensure that the successful implementation of the Agree­
ment should not be put at risk and to prevent a flood of exports  
preceding its entry into force, the Community, following the conclu­
sion 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
(2)Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3762/83 of 19 December 1983
4. The Commission considers that the draft Agreement embodies an  
arrangement which is acceptable to the Community. It therefore recom­
mends that the Council:
(1) 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.

you informed me of your concern on security of accesa· As rerards 
Article 7 in particular, you referred to the possibility that Brasilian

In addition I confirm that if the Community seeks consultations for 
limitations in respect of categories which have been transferred from 
Groups III to V in the Agreement which expires on 31 December 1982 to

the Community shall take account of the trigger levels which existed

Sir, t
I refer to the bilateral textile agreement between the 
Community and Brazil on trade in textiles products initialled by us today.
In this connection, you explained that Article 8 of the 
Agreement was considered by the Community to be consistent with the 1981 
Protocol of Extension of the MFA. For my part, I placed on record the 
importance which Brazil attaches to conformity of Article 8 of the Agreement 
with the 1981 Protocol of Extension of the MFA.
I explained to you that Bra'zil was ready to accept the 
provisions of Article 8 of the bilateral agreement on the understanding that 
the Community would only invoke the provisions of this article with a view 
to eliminating real risk of serious and palpable damage to domestic industry
as provided for in the MFA.
I understood that in the event of recourse by the Community 
to Article 8 of the Agreement, the Community would make an offer of equitable 
and quantifiable compensation proportionate to the adverse effects caused to 
Brazil. You also explained that such an offer would take into account any 
difficulties currently experienced by the Community in any particular 
categories of products. The compensation which provides for effective and 
practical export opportunities for Brazil would take account of conversion 
factors set out in Annex I of the Agreement as well as the differences in 
degree of sensitivities of those products.
V

Finnaly, with reference to Article 16, paragraph 2 of the
Agreement, you explained that this provision was intended to avoid undue 
delay in the application of Article 8. However, the Community would give due 
consideration to the practical difficulties which could arise in complying 
fully with the time limits specified.
In any event, it is our understanding that every effort will 
be made to avoid recourse to the provisions of Article 8, paragraph 4 of the 
Agreement.
I should be grateful if you would be good enough to confirm 
the contents of this letter.
