Report on EEC/China textiles negotiations
1. Following the second round of formal negotiations between the  
C om m unity and China held in Peking from 19 to 29 M arch 1984, a  
supplementary protocol to the EEC/China Textiles Agreement was  
initialled. The negotiations between the Com m unity and China on  
the Textiles Agreement had been preceded by three series of ex­
ploratory talks held in M ay, July and September 1983. A  first  
round of formal negotiations was held from 21 November to 13  
December 1983.
For this second round of negotiations, the C om m unity delegation  
w as headed by M r. J.P. Leng, Director in the Directorate-General  
for External Relations of the Commission. M r. L i Dengshan, Director  
at the Ministry of Foreign Economic and Trade Relations, headed  
the Chinese delegation. The M em b er States were represented by  
observers w h o took part in the plenary negotiating sessions, and  
the Article 113 (Textiles) Committee sat regularly throughout  
the whole period. The texts of the statements m ade on behalf of  
the C om m unity at the opening plenary session and at the conclusion  
of the negotiations are annexed.
2. Contents of the Agreement
a) Legal aspects
It was established at an early stage that both delegations were in  
favour of retaining the text of the existing Agreement, making only  
a number of additions and amendments. The anti-fraud and anti-surge  
clauses were added to the Agreement at the request of the Community  
while the "basket exit" provisions were aligned with the text negotiated  
by the Community with its MFA partners generally.
The .principal difficulty with China was to establish the w ay in which  
the anti-fraud clause should be applied; it had been agreed that this  
should be specified in a  "side letter". The Chinese delegation rejected  
the pinciple that the Com m unity might take unilateral action by w ay of  
compensation should the consultation procedures fail to lead to a  
solution. Only in the final stage of negotiatbns did the Chinese

-  2 -
representative agree to a  text permitting the Community, in the Last  
resort, to take unilateral action of this kind.
With regard to the price problems which could arise, an ad hoc  
consultation procedure w as provided for in a  joint statement replacing  
the price clause in the Agreement negotiated in 1979.
The Agreement's existing provisions on handloom products were retained  
but Protocol B on these products was-amended in line with the text  
negotiated by the Community with its M F A  partners. A  num ber of technical  
adjustments were made to the list of folklore products attached to this  
Protocol.
b) Quantitative aspects
The list of categories subject to restrictions at both C om m unity and  
regional Levels was considerably extended (1). This m ade it possible to  
increase, within limits compatible with the negotiating directives,
Chinese export possibilities for the products subject to quotas. The 
concessions made involve: moderate quota increases, specific solutions 
(additional quotas for singlets and shorts, gauze fabrics and narrow- 
width fabrics) and increased quantities which could beusedfor outward 
processing trade (2).
Little use w as m ade of the option' of increasing quotas by reserving  
certain quantities for industry, as this m et not only with Chinese  
misgivings but also with reservations from certain M em b er States within  
the Article 113 (Textiles) Committee. The provision reserving a  share of  
the German quotas for the Berlin Fair gave rise to d ifficu lties with the  
Chinese delegation, which wanted to have it deteted. The solution finally  
agreed upon w as to reduce the share reserved for Berlin from 26 %  to 19 %  
of the quotas existing in 1983. .T he C om m unity also undertook to do its  
utmost to fa cilita te utilization of this share and, should d ifficu lties arise,  
to enter into consultations aimed at finding mutually acceptable solutions.
The Chinese assured the C om m unity of their active participation at the  
Berlin Fair.
(1) Five new  Com m unity and 34 new  regional restrictions were established over  
and above those in the existing Agreement. They comprise restrictions  
agreed following b cF k et exits, restrictions currently the object of basket  
exit procedures and new  requests.
(2) see table in annex

- 3 -
The specific restrictions agreed in 1979 for handloom, handicraft and  
folklore products were retained in an exchange of confidential letters.
T o the list of such products were added categories 20/39 (embroidered  
linen), with an ad hoc solution being adopted for the Greek share: the  
level currently fixed for imports of industrial products will also  
cover imports of handloom and folklore products.
c) Provisions on product classification a nd administration of the agreement
The Chinese accepted the Community's new  classification of certain  
products and its re-grouping of categories. The Chinese delegation also  
accepted alt the amendments proposed by the C om m unity regarding  
Protocol A  (classification , double checking, origin and administrative  
cooperation) which was thus brought into line with the text negotiated  
with the M F A  countries.
d) A  num ber of additional provisions were also agreed:
The means of applying the O P T  provisions will be established in  
collaboration with the Chinese mission in Brussels and the Chinese  
will be given full details of how  such operations m ay be carried  
out.
Should d ifficu lties arise regarding the regional allocation of  
Com m unity restrictions, consultations might be held in order to seek  
mutually acceptable solutions.
It was stressed that regular consultations would take place to monitor  
the application of the Agreement's various provisions, in particular  
of the three specific concessions to the Com m unity (priority for industry -  
access to raw  materials - tex tile balance of trade). The Chinese confirmed  
that they would scrupulously apply all the provisions of the Agreement  
including the three aforementioned.

-  A -
3. Evaluation of the results of the negotiations
All the solutions negotiated with the Chinese followed consultations  
on the spot with the Article 113 (Textiles) Committee. Certain  
questions of concern to one or other M em b er State in particular  
(share reserved for Berlin Fair, folklore products o f. categories  
20/39) were settled to the satisfaction of the delegations of the  
M em b er States concerned. The Committee approved the outcome of the  
negotiations and the initiallin g of the additional protocol.
Overall, in the Commission's view, the Agreement negotiated  
maintains a balance of concessions, both from the legal and the  
quantitative point of view.
The supplementary protocol initialled in Peking incorporates in full  
the anti-fraud and anti-surge provisions negotiated by the Com m unity  
with its partners in its bilateral tex tile agreements. The Com m unity  
for its part agreed to the alignment of the basket exit provisions  
with the M F A  agreements and the replacement of the price clause by  
an ad hoc consultation procedure. The clauses in favour of the  
C om m unity in the agreement in itialled  in 1979 been retained and  
indeed provision has been m ade for consultations aimed at improving  
their application.
In quantitative terms also, a balance of concessions was achieved.
The Commission only utilized the fle x ib ility  accorded it by its  
negotiating directives after ascertaining that the Chinese side  
was prepared to m ake equivalent gestures and would agree to compromise  
solutions in the interests of an overall settlement.
The Com m unity obtained from China a  substantial increase in the num ber  
of categories subject to C om m unity and regional limitations. China  
accepted a  reduction in the rate of annual increase for three categories  
of products (1). The quota increases conceded by the Com m unity and the  
additional quantities entailed by the specific solutions agreed on  
both fa ll within the negotiating margins allowed. The increases are  
modest in absolute terms and fa ll well short of what the Chinese  
asked for.
(1 ) categories ^^ (anoraks), 32 (pile fabrics) and 20/39 (household linen)

- 5  -
The increases granted for group I products, not counting the specific  
solutions, average 10 %  on the 1984 cfuotas. For category 2 (cotton  
fabrics), a  supplementary quota of 1  200 tonnes was agreed on for  
narrow-width fabrics. The C om m unity delegation agreed to an additional  
1  500 tonnes for medical gauze fabrics (C C T  55.09), having been  
assured in the margins of the negotiations that China would take full  
account of its concern over Chinese exports of surgical dressings  
(C C T  30.04) (1).
Finally, it should be stressed that the provisions of the supplementary  
protocol apply for the entire duration of the agreement which was  
tacitly renewed on 31 December 1983, that is until 31 December 1988. 
Thus the import arrangements for products originating in China will  
remain in force for a period of two years b e y o n d  the period of  
applicability of the other bilateral textiles agreements which the  
C om m unity negotiated in 1982.
4. Global domestic ceilings exceeded
In the case of category 2, the quota increases m ean that the global  
ceilings decided by the Council in February 1982 have been exceeded.  
Certain regional global ceilings have also been exceeded. It should  
be stressed that where this has occurred very small percentages are  
involved and the fundamental objectives of the textile policy decided  
on by the Council have not been compromised (2). They are the result  
of increases conceded in respect of specific, less sensitive products  
within the categories concerned.
*  *
*
5. Conclusion
The Commission recomends that the Council:
(1) The ad hoc arrangement arrived at outside the negotiations provides  
that the Chinese will voluntarily restrain their exports to the  
C om m unity to an annual 1  300 tonnes  
( }  see table annexed

-  6 -
- approve the results of the textiles negotiations with China as set  
forth above;
- agree to the adjustments of internal global ceilings in line with the  
new  quotas fixed for the group I categories listed in the Annex;
- adopt the Regulation implementing the provisions negotiated with  
China, contained in the attached Commission proposal. ƒ/î'Wu&* iM-J

DECLARATION? DE LA DELEGATION DE LA COEWUNAUTE  
EEC: OPENING ADDRESS
20 March 1984 ANNEX I
Mr. Chairman,
1. Perhaps I could begin by thanking your for your warm reception and for  
your kind words of welcome. Mr. Chairman, we had seme initial difficulties  
in· settling a date for the resumption of these negotiations but I am happy  
to say that these were overcome thanks to the effort of both sides. It is  
surely a good sign that the date of our meeting today,  which I see in my  
diary is the 20th March coincides with the first day of spring, as we saw  
on the wenderful outing on Sunday for which we thank you cnoe again.
Today the wind is blowing and I hope it will push us together more quickly.t ’
2. I can think of no better introduction to this ^field for me as Textile  
Negotiator, than to participate in these negotiations'with China. The good  
relations between the EEC and China are of the greatest value to both parties;  
as far as textiles are concerned these relations are reflected in the specific  
nature of our agreement cn which I hope both of us are willing to build. The  
present negotiations are important in view of the significance of textile  
trade, and the level of that trade, for all concerned. It is also,
Mr. Chairman, as I told you yesterday, a particular pleasure to work with  
you. My oolleagues have told me of the excellent atmosphere during our  
last round of negotiations and of the constructive way in which you  
conducted, these negotiations on the Chinese side. I am delighted to be  
able to begin our working relationship here in Beijing.
3. Mr. Chairman, you will recall that because of a shortage of time, it was
impossible, ysnfortunately, last time to terminate and we had to suspend
our negotiations at the end of last year. This time there are also time
constraints for both delegations but the Community is nevertheless
determined to moke the best use of the time available in order to solve
the difficulties that wa have ahead of us. If both delegations are willing
to make the necessary compromises we might conclude, if we cannot conclude
I do not think we should be o v e r -anxious about this since we knew that
>
thanks to our efforts and good will we shall reach an agreement next time.. · *  V
But as I said at the beginning of the meeting, the presence here of our  
Member States shows the will that we have to progress in the negotiations  
and I am really encouraged by the fact that the technical discussions that  
we have had during the last days have been progressing satisfactorily.

-2-
4. Mr.' Chairman, we resume our formal negotiations with the advantage that  
each side has a good appreciation of the other's positions and concerns.
Wa have already had three rounds of exploratory talks and one round of  
formal negotiations. IXuring these discussions we were able to make some  
progress, not only gaining a better understanding of each other's points  
of view, but moving towards each other. Now, through mutual concessions,  
and keeping in mind the progress achieved in the first round, we should in  
the course of this round be able to reach a balanced package improving the  
existing agreement and this balanced package should take into account the  
preoccupations of both sides. '
5· Mr. Chairman, as X told you already, I am pleased that both sides have  
agreed to preserve the specific character of the present Agreement and to  
maintain as the basis of our negotiations the provisions of that  
Agreement. As I said yesterday in a private ccpversati.cn with you, this  
Agreement reflects the specific nature of our relationship with your  
oountry and it reflects the particular importance we attach to it. This  
basis of negotiations was also understood during bilateral talks between  
members of our two delegations in Geneva last December when the decision  
was taken in the GATT Textiles Conmittee on China1  s accession to the MFA.  
Therefore, Mr. Chairman, we both work under the assumption that the d re sent 
agreement will continue to apply, supplemented by a protocol containing  
certain new agreed provisions.
6. Mr. Chairman, I hope that there is a broad measure of agreement between us  
on the contents of this protocol. Apart from the alterations in the  
annexes, and the provisions relating to administrative cooperation which  
have already been discussed in detail by our colleagues during the last  
few days, and are still being discussed by sane of our colleagues, there  
would be three new or revised clauses. ‘Mr. Chairman, these clauses are  
as you knew the anti-surge and anti-circumvention clauses, to which the  
Coimunity attaches the greatest importance and which are indeed already  
included in all the EEC’s bilateral agreements with its MFA partners;  
and on the other hand a revised basket exit clause to which China attaches  
importance. I should add, Mr. Chairman, that we will consider with an  
open mind Chinese requests concerning pricing. Provided the two clauses I  
mentioned are introduced into the agreement, the EEC can confirm its  
Acceptance of a basket exit clause in line with those contained in our  
bilateral agreements under the MFA. Mr. Chairman, I will be open to

discuss with you the nodal!ties of the application of the anti-surge  
and anti-circonvention clauses but the principles of these clauses should  
r e m a in .  In the Community's view, a protocol on this basis could represent  
an acceptable balance of concessions, virile preserving the specific  
character of the present agreement.
As far as the economic content is concerned, you will remember that  
my predecessor indicated to you in the »course of the last round that the  
Community could be flexible if the Chinese side was also willing to shew  
flexibility. As you knew, Mr. Chairman, the Community has already offered  
to increase base levels by percentages wall in exoess of those offered to  
other MEA suppliers in 1982. It is clear that any additional increases  
would have to take into account the economic problems of the Community,  
which unfortunately, as you knew, continue to cause us grave concern. As  
I have said to you, the only way, in which we could make progress is to  
ensure that it is nede in the context of balanced concessions. In this  
respect I have to make it very clear to you that one indispensable factor  
will be a positive response from your side to the proposal presented by the  
Community. Mr. Chairman, I think that this has to be very clear and I  
repeat that the Community is prepared to be very flexible but this  
flexibility has to be matched by the Chinese side. I knew that you will  
tell ire, and you will repeat to me, that your requests are very reasonable  
and I don't expect you to say anything else but given the cordial  
relationship between the Community and China, and the excellent working  
relations which we have developed during the past years, I hope,
Mr. Chairman, that each side can now take meaningful steps towards agreed  
solutions to our difficulties. I would be very grateful to hear your  
reactions to the points I have made and we are ready if you wish to outline  
our eaoncmic quantitative position during the course of this meeting.

Mr. Chairman/
We could have exchanged our texts. I could have in fact repeated what
. .  . A  . t %you said. ■
I want to thank my colleagues from the Commission and pay special  
tribute to Mr.·  Hofmann who has put together all the elements of  
the agreement. I want to thank the representatives of the Member  
States whose confidence/ cooperation/ flexibility and friendship  
have helped me a lot. This was my first negotiation and an example  
for me: difficult but successful. I am grateful to you personally/
Mr. Chairman/ and to all the members of the Chinese delegation.
Ours is more than a textile agreement/ it is an important element of  
economic and trade relations between China and the Community. On this  
basis we want to build and improve our relations'and friendship.
This agreement has special characteristics/ Mr. Chairman. I would  
like you to take note of the special importance which the Community  
attaches to the three specific clauses in Articles 3/ 11 and 12 concerning  
the supply of Chinese products to our Industry and the bilateral textiles  
trade balance. We have already agreed to consult at regular intervals  
concerning the good implementation of thes« clausesO).
!On regional repartition I confirm that should a specific problem arise  
we would be ready to look at it in the course of our consultations.
(1) In the course of his speech/ Mr. LI DENGSHAN said that the results of the  
negotiation were satisfactory to China. He was pleased th^t the specific  
character of the Agreement had been preserved; China intended to observe  
its provisions strictly. He expressed the hope that consultations in the  
future would take place in as friendly an atmosphere as in the past. Such·. *  I
consultations would be necessary in order to implement the Agreement.

v |l e  have agreed on the legal, aspects of the textile agreement/ on the  
quantitative aspects and on a number of exchanges of letters. There  
is no need to go into details here and we shall initial tomorrow.

Explanatory Memoradum
Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3061/79 of 20 December 1979 established  
common rules for imports into the Community of textile products originating  
in China.
These rules were introduced following the initialling of a bilateral  
agreement, which was tacitly reconducted on 1 January 1984 for a further  
five years. Quantitative limits covering the Community's textile imports  
from China were however specified in the agreement, and in Regulation  
(EEC) 3061/79, only until 31 December 1983.
A first round of formal negotiations was held in November and December  
1983 on the content of a supplementary protocol to the agreement, which  
would specify inter alia the quantitative limits applicable from 1 January  
1984. Since this round did not result in the initialling of a supplementary  
protocol it appeared necessary, in order to ensure continuity in textile  
trade and to prevent a legal void, provisionally to extend the common rules  
set out in Regulation (EEC) No. 3061/79 for 1984 only. This was done by  
Council Regulation 109/84 of 4 January 1984^^.
Following a second round of formal negotiations a supplementary protocol  
was initialled on 29 March 1984 containing a number of alterations to the  
legal and economic content of the agreement. This will now contain the  
anti-surge and anti-circumvention clauses agreed with other suppliers with  
which the Community has negotiated bilateral textile agreements, as well as  
the same protocols concerning administrative provisions and the treatment  
of handmade and folkloric products and similar Annexes concerning the  
classification and grouping of products. A revised basket-exit clause has  
also been agreed in conformity with that negotiated with the majority of  
developing countries. The price clause has been deleted.
Quantitative limits have also been agreed for the years 1984 to 1988  
inclusive. A number of products covered were not previously subject to  
limitation.

(2) 0J No. L 15, 18/1/1984

The supplementary protocol will apply retroactively as from 1 January  
1984. The Chinese authorities may for their part apply its provisions  
forthwith, in particular as concerns the necessary documentation for  
export and release for free circulation in the Community of Chinese  
textile products. It is therefore appropriate to take steps to ensure  
that no disruption to trade is caused by difficulties within the Community  
in applying the provisions of the protocol.
The attached proposal for a comprehensive Regulation laying down the  
common rules for imports into the Community of textile products originating  
in China, and in conformity with the original agreement and its supplementary  
protocol, is hereby submitted to the Council for adoption as soon as possible.

whereas this agreement was implemented  
by Comcil Regulation (E E C ) N o 3061/79 (1), as

W hereas the Com m unity has negotiated  
with China a  supplementary Protocol

whereas the C om m unity and China
have decided that the  
provisions of the Protocol shall be  
fully implemented as from 1  January  
1984 until 3 1  December 1988;
W hereas it is necessary, with a  view  
to implementing the provisions of the  
agreement as amended by the supplementary Protocol  
(hereinafter referred to as "the  
Agreement") to establish new  specific  
co m m o n  rules for imports of certain  
textile products originating in  
China;
W hereas this would require further ;
extension and am endm ent of Regulation  
(E E C ) N o  3061/79; whereas, however, i t  is  desirable,  
in the interests of clarity and administrative  
efficiency, to draw up a new, comprehensive  
Regulation; whereas Regulation (E E C ) N o 3061/79  
should therefore be repealed;Whereas compliance with the quantitative lim its on 
exports established under the Agreement is ensured 
by a double-checking system; whereas the
effectiveness of these measures depends on the 
Community’s establishing a set of 
quantitative limits to be applied to imports of a" 
products from China which are
subject to quantitative limitations;
Whereas products entering the customs territory of 
the Community under the arrangements for inward 
processing or other temporary admisson
arrangements and intended for re-exportation oui of 
the said territory in the same state or after processing 
should not be subject to such quantitative
limits;
Whereas special rules are required for products re­
imported under the arrangements for outward 
processing;
Whereas, in order to apply quantitative
limits in conformity with the
•  it is necessary to establish 
a special management procedure; whereas it is 
desirable that such common management system be 
decentralized by allocating the quantitative lim its 
among the Member States, and that the import 
authorizations be issued by the Member States’  
authorities in accordance with the double-checking 
system defined in the Agreement £
Whereas, in order to ensure the best possible 
utilization of the Commua tvj quantitative limits, they 
should be allocated in accordance with the 
requirements of the Member States and with the 
quantitative objectives established by the Council; 
whereas, however, the extent of the disparities 
existing in the conditions for importation of these
products into the Member States and the particularly 
sensitive position of the Community textiles industry 
mean that the said conditions can be standardized 
only gradually; whereas, for these reasons, allocation 
oi supplies cannot immediately be effected on the 
basis of requirements alone;
Where« it is necessary to ensure that the purpose of 
the Agreement should not be obstructed by 
defection ot trade and that it is therefore necessary 
to determine the way in which the origin of .the 
products in question is controlled and the methods bv 
which the appropriate administrative cooperation is 
achieved;Whereas it is also necessary tom aintai nrfficient and 
rapid procedures for altering quantitative

Whereas, in respect of certain textile products under

quantitative limitation, the AgreementP1 ^'^®  ^ or a 
consultation procedure whereoy, in tne event that the 
volume of imports of a given category of products 
into the Community or one of its regions exceeds a 
certain threshold, agreement can be reached with
on the introduction of quantitative 
limits; whereas China- also undertake*
to limit i t s  exports from the date of a
request for such consultations, at the level indicated 
by the Community; whereas if no agreement is 
reached with China within the period
stipulated, the Community may introduce quantitative 
lim its at a specific annual or multiannual level;
Whereas the Agreement established a system.. of 
cooperation between the Community and China  <
■  with the aim of preventing circumvention by 
means of transhipment, re-routing or other means; 
whereas a consultation procedure is csublished under 
which an agreement can be reached with China
on an equivalent adjustment to 
the relevant quantiutive limit when it appears that the 
Agreement has been circumvented; whereas China 
also agreed to uke the necessary measures 
to ensure that any adjustments could be rapidly 
applied; whereas, in the absence of agreement with ·  
Chi na *  “within the tune, limit provided,? the
Community may, where clear evidence of 
circumvention is provided, apply the equivalent .  i 
adjustment; .  V
