 Propuesta de REGLAMENTO DEL PARLAMENTO EUROPEO Y DEL CONSEJO sobre las medidas que podrá tomar la Unión en relación con el efecto combinado de las medidas antidumping o antisubvenciones y las medidas de salvaguardia (versión codificada) /* COM/2014/0318 final - 2014/0164 (COD) */
 EXPOSICIÓN DE MOTIVOS
 1. En el contexto de "La Europa de
 los ciudadanos", la Comisión concede gran importancia a la simplificación
 y claridad del Derecho de la Unión, que de esta forma resulta más accesible y
 comprensible para el ciudadano, abriéndole nuevas posibilidades y
 reconociéndole derechos concretos que puede invocar.
 Pero este objetivo no podrá lograrse mientras siga
 existiendo una gran cantidad de disposiciones que hayan sufrido diversas
 modificaciones, a menudo esenciales, y que se encuentren dispersas entre el
 acto original y los actos de modificación posteriores. Por tanto, es precisa
 una labor de investigación y comparación de numerosos actos con el fin de
 determinar las disposiciones en vigor.
 Así pues, la claridad y transparencia del Derecho
 de la Unión dependen también de la codificación de una normativa que sufre
 frecuentes modificaciones.
 2. El 1 de abril de 1987, la Comisión
 decidió dar instrucciones[1] a sus servicios para que procedieran a la codificación de todos
 los actos, como máximo tras su décima modificación, subrayando que se
 trataba de una medida mínima, ya que, en aras de la claridad y de la fácil
 comprensión de las disposiciones, debían procurar codificar los textos de su
 competencia con una periodicidad incluso mayor.
 3. Las Conclusiones de la Presidencia
 del Consejo Europeo de Edimburgo, en diciembre de 1992, confirmaron esta
 decisión[2], destacándose la importancia de la codificación, que
 proporciona una seguridad jurídica respecto del Derecho aplicable en un
 determinado ámbito y momento.
 Dicha codificación debe llevarse a cabo respetando
 íntegramente el procedimiento de adopción de los actos de la Unión.
 Dado que ninguna modificación sustantiva puede ser
 introducida en los actos objeto de codificación, el Parlamento Europeo,
 el Consejo y la Comisión convinieron, mediante un Acuerdo interinstitucional de
 20 de diciembre de 1994, un método de trabajo acelerado para la rápida
 aprobación de los actos codificados.
 4. El objeto de la presente propuesta
 es proceder a la codificación del Reglamento (CE) n° 452/2003 del Consejo,
 de 6 de marzo de 2003, sobre las medidas que podrá tomar la Comunidad en
 relación con el efecto combinado de las medidas antidumping o antisubvenciones
 y las medidas de salvaguardia[3] a determinadas categorías de ayudas
 estatales horizontales. El nuevo Reglamento sustituirá a
 los que son objeto de la operación de codificación[4]. La propuesta respeta en su totalidad el contenido de los textos
 codificados y se limita, por tanto, a reagruparlos realizando en ellos únicamente
 las modificaciones formales que la propia operación de codificación
 requiere.
 5. La propuesta de codificación
 se ha elaborado sobre la base de una consolidación previa del texto del
 Reglamento (CE) no 452/2003 y del acto que lo modifica, efectuada, en las 22
 lenguas oficiales, a través del sistema informático de la Oficina de
 Publicaciones Oficiales de la Unión Europea. En caso de cambio de numeración de
 los artículos, la correlación entre los números antiguos y los nuevos se ha
 hecho constar en una tabla de correspondencia que figura en el Anexo II
 del Reglamento codificado.

 Propuesta de
 REGLAMENTO DEL PARLAMENTO EUROPEO Y
 DEL CONSEJO
 sobre las medidas que podrá tomar la
 Unión en relación con el efecto combinado de las medidas antidumping o
 antisubvenciones y las medidas de salvaguardia (versión codificada)
 EL PARLAMENTO EUROPEO Y EL CONSEJO DE
 LA UNIÓN EUROPEA,
 Visto el Tratado Ö de
 Funcionamiento de la Unión Õ Europea, y en
 particular su artículo Ö 207, apartado 2 Õ,
 Vista la propuesta de la Comisión Ö Europea Õ ,
 Previa transmisión del proyecto de acto
 legislativo a los parlamentos nacionales,
 Visto el dictamen del Comité Económico y
 Social Europeo[5],
 De conformidad con el procedimiento
 legislativo ordinario,
 Considerando lo siguiente:
 ê
 (1) El
 Reglamento (CE) no 452/2003 del Consejo[6] ha
 sido modificado de forma sustancial[7].
 Conviene, en aras de la claridad y la racionalidad, proceder a la codificación
 de dicho Reglamento.
 ê 452/2003
 considerando 1 (adaptado)
 (2) Mediante
 el Reglamento (CE) no 1225/2009 del Consejo[8] Ö se Õ estableció un
 régimen común para la defensa contra las importaciones que sean objeto de
 dumping por parte de países no miembros de la Ö Unión Õ Europea.
 ê 452/2003
 considerando 2 (adaptado)
 (3) Mediante
 el Reglamento (CE) no 597/2009 del Consejo[9] Ö se Õ estableció un
 régimen común para la defensa contra las importaciones subvencionadas
 originarias de países no miembros de la Ö Unión Õ Europea.
 ê 452/2003
 considerando 3 (adaptado)
 (4) Mediante
 los Reglamentos (CE) no 260/2009 del Consejo[10] y (CE) no 625/2009 del Consejo[11], el Consejo estableció un régimen común para la adopción de medidas de
 salvaguardia contra las importaciones procedentes de determinados países no
 miembros de la Ö Unión Õ Europea. Las medidas
 de salvaguardia podrán adoptar la forma de medidas arancelarias aplicables a
 todas las importaciones o a aquellas importaciones que superen una cantidad
 predeterminada. Dichas medidas de salvaguardia implican que las mercancías
 pueden entrar en el mercado Ö de la Unión Õ previo pago de los
 derechos correspondientes.
 ê 452/2003
 considerando 4
 (5) La
 importación de determinadas mercancías puede estar sometida tanto a medidas
 antidumping o antisubvenciones, por una parte, como a medidas arancelarias de
 salvaguardia, por otra. El objetivo de las primeras es poner fin a las
 distorsiones del mercado originadas por prácticas comerciales desleales,
 mientras que el objetivo de las últimas es la protección contra un aumento
 grande de las importaciones.
 ê 452/2003
 considerando 5 (adaptado)
 (6) Sin
 embargo, la combinación de medidas antidumping o antisubvenciones con medidas
 arancelarias de salvaguardia aplicables a un mismo producto podría tener unas
 repercusiones mayores que las previstas o deseables en términos de la política
 y los objetivos de defensa comercial de la Ö Unión Õ. Concretamente, tal
 combinación de medidas podría imponer una carga excesivamente onerosa a
 determinados productores exportadores que deseen exportar a la Ö Unión Õ, teniendo como
 efecto la denegación del acceso al mercado Ö de la Unión Õ .
 ê 452/2003
 considerando 6 (adaptado)
 (7) Consecuentemente,
 los productores exportadores que deseen exportar a la Ö Unión Õ no deberían verse
 sometidos a cargas excesivamente onerosas y deberían seguir teniendo acceso al
 mercado Ö de la Unión Õ .
 ê 452/2003
 considerando 7 (adaptado)
 (8) Conviene,
 por tanto, garantizar el cumplimiento de los objetivos de las medidas
 arancelarias de salvaguardia y de las medidas antidumping o antisubvenciones
 sin denegar a dichos productores exportadores el acceso al mercado Ö de la Unión Õ .
 ê 452/2003
 considerando 8 (adaptado)
 (9) Deberán
 Ö establecerse Õ, en consecuencia,
 disposiciones específicas que permitan a la Comisión, cuando lo considere
 conveniente, garantizar que una combinación de medidas antidumping o
 antisubvenciones con medidas arancelarias de salvaguardia aplicables al mismo
 producto no surta tal efecto.
 ê 452/2003
 considerando 9
 (10) Si
 bien es posible prever la aplicación simultánea al mismo producto del derecho
 de salvaguardia y las medidas antidumping o antisubvenciones, no siempre es
 posible determinar por adelantado en qué momento exacto puede ocurrir. Por lo
 tanto, la Comisión debería estar en condiciones de hacer frente a tal situación
 de manera que garantice la suficiente previsibilidad y seguridad jurídica a
 todos los operadores concernidos.
 ê 452/2003
 considerando 10
 (11) La
 Comisión puede considerar conveniente modificar, suspender o derogar las
 medidas antidumping o antisubvenciones o prever exenciones, totales o
 parciales, a cualquier derecho antidumping o compensatorio que, en caso
 contrario, sería pagadero, o adoptar otras medidas especiales. Cualquier
 suspensión o modificación, o cualquier exención, de las medidas antidumping o
 antisubvenciones deberían concederse solamente durante un período limitado de
 tiempo.
 ê 452/2003
 considerando 11 (adaptado)
 (12) Cualquier
 medida adoptada de conformidad con el presente Reglamento tendría que ser
 aplicable a partir de la fecha de su entrada en vigor, salvo indicación
 contraria, y no debería por lo tanto ofrecer un fundamento para el reembolso de
 los derechos percibidos con anterioridad a dicha fecha.
 ê 37/2014
 Art. 1 y anexo 10 (adaptado)
 (13) Con
 el fin de garantizar unas condiciones uniformes de ejecución Ö del Reglamento (CE)
 n° 452/2003 Õ, deben conferirse a
 la Comisión competencias de ejecución. Dichas competencias deben ejercerse de
 conformidad con el Reglamento (UE) n° 182/2011 del Parlamento Europeo y
 del Consejo[12].

Besondere Voraussetzungen für digitales Belegwesen in der Cloud | Beck Stellenmarkt
 von LL.M. Stephan Greulich und StB Dr. Johannes Riepolt, Mitarbeiter der DATEV eG, Nürnberg
 Die Digitalisierung unternehmerischer Geschäftsprozesseschreitet in den letzten Jahren stark voran. Neben den Möglichkeiten, neue Geschäftsmodelle von Grund auf digital abzubilden, gewinnt die Digitalisierung bestehender Geschäftsprozesse, die in der Vergangenheit noch papierbasiert abgewickelt wurden, immer stärker an Bedeutung.
 Dafür sind viele Faktoren verantwortlich: So haben sich die technischen Übertragungsraten durch die Verwendung von Breitbandsystemen zunehmend stark verbessert. Auch die Hard- und Softwaresysteme – vom verfügbaren Speicherplatz, über die Auflösung bei der Anfertigung von Bildern bis zur Bedienbarkeit von Anwendungen – werden zunehmend besser und für jedermann ohne übermäßiges technisches Know-How verfügbar. Juristisches Know-How hingegen ist für eine erfolgreiche Digitalisierung dringend erforderlich. Und zwar nicht nur für Rechtsanwälte, die auf diesem Gebiet beratend tätig sind. Auch Anwälte, die die Geschäftsprozesse in ihrer eigenen Kanzlei digitalisieren, sollten die rechtlichen Grundlagen kennen.
 Die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen sollten insbesondere in den Fällen des immer beliebter werdenden Cloud Computing eingehalten werden.
 Cloud Computing im Rechnungswesen
 Als Cloud Computing wird eine spezielle Form des IT-Outsourcing bezeichnet, bei der von Dienstleistungsunternehmen i. d. R. über das breitbandige Internet IT-Dienstleistungen an Kunden erbracht werden. Dabei besteht keine feste Vereinbarung über die Exklusivität und die Belegenheit der verwendeten IT-Systeme, auch kann die Nutzungsüberlassung nur einen sehr kurzen Zeitraum umfassen. Im Rahmen der Buchführung in der Cloud besteht die Dienstleistung in der Zurverfügungstellung der Buchführungssoftware, zumeist verbunden mit Archivierungssystemen. Auch bei dieser Prozessausgestaltung sind die allgemeinen gesetzlichen und verwaltungsrechtlichen Regelungen zu beachten. Da der Standort des Servers, von dem aus die Dienstleistungen erbracht werden, beim Cloud Computing wechseln kann, ohne dass der Anwender (auslagerndes Unternehmen) darüber informiert wird, ist eine Genehmigung im Rahmen von § 146 Abs. 2a AO i. d. R. nicht zu erhalten.
 Auslagerung des digitalen Belegwesens ins Ausland
 Für steuerliche Zwecke muss die Buchführung eines Unternehmens grundsätzlich im Inland erfolgen (§ 146 Abs. 2 S. 1 AO). Dieser Grundsatz gilt unabhängig davon, ob die Buchführung in Papierform oder in elektronischer Form vorgenommen wird, wodurch ein Zugriff der deutschen Steuerbehörden auf die Buchführungsunterlagen sichergestellt werden soll. Auch sind davon ausländische Betriebsstätten inländischer Unternehmen erfasst. Der Ort der Buchführung und der Aufzeichnungen muss dabei nicht mit dem Ort der Geschäftsleitung oder dem Sitz übereinstimmen. Eine handelsrechtliche Entsprechung hierzu besteht übrigens nicht, aus § 13b HGB lässt sich keine vergleichbare Verpflichtung ableiten.
 Ausnahmen hiervon gelten nur, soweit für eine im Ausland belegene Betriebsstätte eine Verpflichtung nach dortigem nationalen Recht besteht und dieser auch nachgekommen wird (§ 146 Abs. 2 S. 2 AO). Die nach ausländischem Recht ermittelten Ergebnisse sind dann in die Buchführung des inländischen Unternehmens aufzunehmen, soweit für die Besteuerung von Bedeutung. Dabei sind Anpassungen an das deutsche Steuerrecht, die nach ausländischem Recht keine Berücksichtigung fanden, gesondert zu kennzeichnen (§ 146 Abs. 2 S. 4 AO).
 Eine Buchführung kann auch ohne ausländische Betriebsstätte für ein rein inländisch tätiges Unternehmen im Ausland erstellt werden, wenn diese elektronisch erstellt und durch das Unternehmen beantragt wird und die folgenden Voraussetzungen erfüllt sind (§ 146 Abs. 2a AO):
 – Der Steuerpflichtige teilt der zuständigen Finanzbehörde den Standort des Datenverarbeitungssystems mit (Mitteilung des Standorts). Dies ist insb. bei echten Cloud-Lösungen, bei denen die Speicherung auf Servern in Abhängigkeit der Serverkapazitäten an unterschiedlichen Orten erfolgen kann, problematisch.
 – Der Steuerpflichtige teilt bei Inanspruchnahme eines Dienstleisters der zuständigen Finanzbehörde dessen Namen und Anschrift mit (Mitteilung des Dienstleisters).
 – Der Unternehmer ist den folgenden Pflichten ordnungsgemäß nachgekommen (sog. Kooperationsbereitschaftsklausel).
 – Mitwirkung nach § 90 AO, insb. die vollständige und wahrheitsgemäße Offenlegung von steuerlich relevanten Tatsachen, Auskunft nach § 93 AO, insb. die Auskunftserteilung aufgrund ergangener Auskunftsersuchen der Finanzbehörden
 – Vorlage von Urkunden nach § 97 AO, insb. die Vorlage von Büchern, Aufzeichnungen, Geschäftspapieren aufgrund ergangener Vorlageverlangen
 – Buchführung und Aufzeichnung nach §§ 140-147 AO, insb. die Erstellung von Büchern, Abschlüssen, Aufzeichnung von Wareneingang und -ausgang, Ordnung und Aufbewahrung von Unterlagen
 – Mitwirkung nach § 200 Abs. 1, 2 AO, insb. durch Auskunftserteilung, Vorlage von Aufzeichnungen, Büchern und Geschäftspapieren im Rahmen einer Außenprüfung
 – Der Datenzugriff nach § 147 Abs. 6 AO wird in vollem Umfang ermöglicht.
 – Die Besteuerung ist durch die Verlagerung in das Ausland nicht beeinträchtigt.
 – Der Antrag des Unternehmers hat dabei in schriftlicher Form zu erfolgen, Papierunterlagen sind stets weiterhin im Inland zu führen und aufzubewahren.
 Steuerliche Konsequenzen von Pflichtverletzungen
 Mit dem Tatbestandsmerkmal der fehlenden Beeinträchtigung der Besteuerung wird die Bewilligung der Auslandsbuchführung auch daran gebunden, dass der Steuerpflichtige in der Vergangenheit seinen Pflichten ordnungsgemäß nachgekommen ist. Eine Bewilligung ist demnach u. a. in den Fällen beeinträchtigt, wenn das Abgabeverhalten des Steuerpflichtigen nicht ordnungsgemäß war. Auch kann die Finanzverwaltung die einmal erteilte Bewilligung widerrufen, sofern Umstände bekannt werden, die zu einer Beeinträchtigung der Besteuerung führen. Die Finanzverwaltung kann zudem den Unternehmer auffordern, die elektronische Buchführung unverzüglich in das Inland zurückzuholen, (§ 146 Abs. 2b AO). Die Missachtung einer solchen Aufforderung oder die Verletzung von Mitteilungspflichten kann erhebliche Konsequenzen haben: Es können Verzögerungsgelder zwischen 2.500 Euro und 250.000 Euro festgesetzt werden.

 Publicatieblad Nr. L 123 van 17/05/1994 blz. 0092 - 0119 Bijzondere uitgave in het Fins: Hoofdstuk 11 Deel 31 blz. 0094 Bijzondere uitgave in het Zweeds: Hoofdstuk 11 Deel 31 blz. 0094
 AGREEMENT between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Azerbaijan on trade in textile productsTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,of the one part, andTHE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN,of the other part,DESIRING to promote, with a view to permanent cooperation and in conditions providing every security for trade, the orderly and equitable development of trade in textile products between the European Economic Community (hereinafter referred to as 'the Community') and the Republic of Azerbaijan (hereinafter referred to as 'Azerbaijan'),RESOLVED to take the fullest possible account of the serious economic and social problems at present affecting the textile industry in both importing and exporting countries, and in particular, to eliminate real risks of market disruption on the market of the Community and real risks of disruption to the textile trade of Azerbaijan,HAVE DECIDED to conclude this Agreement and to this end have designated as their plenipotentiaries:THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN,WHO HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:Article 11. Trade in textile products listed in Annex I and originating within the Contracting Parties shall be liberalized for the duration of this Agreement under the conditions set out therein.2. Subject to the provisions of this or any successive Agreement, the Community undertakes, in respect of the products listed in Annex I, to suspend the application of quantitative import restrictions currently in force and not to introduce new quantitative restrictions.Quantitative import restrictions shall be re-introduced in case of denunciation or non-replacement of the present Agreement.3. Measures having equivalent effect to quantitative restrictions on the importation into the Community of the products listed in Annex I shall be prohibited for the duration of this Agreement.Article 21. Exports from Azerbaijan to the Community of products listed in Annex I and originating in Azerbaijan shall, at the time of entry into force of this Agreement, be free from quantitative limits. However, quantitative limits may subsequently be introduced under conditions specified in Article 5.2. Should quantitative limits be introduced, exports of the textile products made subject to quantitative limits shall be subject to a double-checking system as specified in Protocol A.3. At the time of entry into force of this Agreement, exports of products listed in Annex II not subject to quantitative limits shall be subject to the double-checking system referred to in paragraph 2.4. Following consultations in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 15, exports of products in Annex I not subject to quantitative limits other than those listed in Annex II may be subject, subsequently to the entry into force of this Agreement, to the double-checking system referred to in paragraph 2 or to a prior surveillance system introduced by the Community.5. In administering the quantitative limits established under this Agreement, Azerbaijan shall ensure that the Community textile industry shall benefit from utilization of the said limits.More particularly, Azerbaijan undertakes upon request from the Community to reserve to the Community textile industry, as a priority, at least 50 % of the quantitative limits concerned during a period extending between 1 January to 31 May of each year. For this purpose, contracts made with the industry during the period in question shall be taken into consideration.6. To facilitate the implementation of these provisions the Community shall provide the competent Azerbaijani authorities, before the end of each year, with a list of interested Community manufacturers and processors and, if possible, of the quantity of products requested for each firm. To this end, the firms concerned are invited to make direct contact with the relevant Azerbaijani enterprises as early as possible during the reservation period mentioned in this paragraph, in order to make their purchasing intentions known.Article 31. Imports into the Community of textile products covered by this Agreement shall not be subject to the quantitative limits established under this Agreement, provided that they are declared to be for re-export outside the Community in the same state or after processing, within the framework of the administrative system of control which exists within the Community.However, the release for home use of products imported into the Community under the conditions referred to above shall be subject to the production of an export licence issued by the authorities of Azerbaijan, and to proof of origin in accordance with the provisions of Protocol A.2. Where the Community authorities ascertain that imports of textile products have been set off against a quantitative limit established under this Agreement, but that the products have subsequently been re-exported outside the Community, the authorities shall inform the Azerbaijani authorities within four weeks of the quantities involved and authorize imports of identical quantitative limit established under this Agreement for the current or the following year, as appropriate.3. The Community and Azerbaijan recognize the special and differential character of re-imports of textile products into the Community after processing in Azerbaijan as a specific form of industrial and trade cooperation.Should quantitative limits be established under Article 5, provided that they are effected in accordance with the regulations on economic outward processing in force in the Community, these re-imports shall not be subject to these quantitative limits if they are subject to the specific arrangements laid down in Protocol C.Article 4Should quantitative limits be introduced under Article 5, the following provisions shall apply:1. In any Agreement year advance use of a portion of the quantitative limit established for the following Agreement year is authorized for each category of products up to 5 % of the quantitative limit for the current Agreement year.Amounts delivered in advance shall be deducted from the corresponding quantitative limits established for the following Agreement year.2. Carry-over to the corresponding quantitative limit for the following Agreement year of the amounts not used during any Agreement year is authorized for each category of products up to 7 % of the quantitative limit for the current Agreement year.3. Transfers in respect of categories in Group I shall not be made from any category except as follows:- transfers between categories 2 and 3 and from category 1 to categories 2 and 3 may be made up to 4 % of the quantitative limits for the category to which the transfer is made,- transfers between categories 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 may be made up to 4 % of the quantitative limit for the category to which the transfer is made.Transfers into any category in Groups II, III, IV and V may be made from any category or categories in Groups I, II, III, IV and V up to 5 % of the quantitative limit for the category to which the transfer is made.4. The table of equivalence applicable to the transfers referred to above is given in Annex I to this Agreement.5. The increase in any category of products resulting from the cumulative application of the provisions in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above during an Agreement year shall not exceed the following limits:- 13 % for categories of products in Group I,- 13,5 % for categories of products in Groups II, III, IV and V.6. Prior notification shall be given by the Azerbaijani authorities in the event of recourse to the provisions of paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above, at least 15 days in advance.Article 51. Exports of textile products listed in Annex I to this Agreement may be made subject to quantitative limits on the conditions laid down in the following paragraphs.2. Where the Community finds, under the system of administrative control set up, that the level of imports of products in a given category listed in Annex I originating in Azerbaijan exceeds, in relation to the preceding year's total imports into the Community from all sources of products in that category, the following rates:- 0,35 % for categories of products in Group I,- 1,2 % for categories of products in Group II,- 4 % for categories of products in Groups III, IV and V,it may request the opening of consultations in accordance with the procedure described in Article 15 of this Agreement, with a view to reaching agreement on an appropriate restraint level for the products in such category.3. Pending a mutually satisfactory solution, Azerbaijan undertakes, from the date of notification of the request for consultations, to suspend or limit at the level indicated by the Community exports of the category of products in question to the Community or to the region or regions of the Community market specified by the Community.The Community shall authorize the importation of products of the said category shipped from Azerbaijan before the date on which the request for consultations was submitted.4. Should the Contracting Parties be unable in the course of consultations to reach a satisfactory solution within the period specified in Article 15 (2), the Community shall have the right to introduce a definitive quantitative limit at an annual level not lower than the level resulting from the application of the formula set out in paragraph 2, or 106 % of the level of imports reached during the calendar year preceding that in which imports exceeded the level resulting from the application of the formula set out in paragraph 2 and gave rise to the request for consultations, whichever is the higher.The annual level so fixed shall be revised upwards after consultations in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 15, with a view to fulfilling the conditions set out in paragraph 2, should the trend of total imports into the Community of the product in question make this necessary.5. The annual growth rate for the quantitative limits introduced under this Article shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Protocol D.6. The provisions of this Article shall not apply where the percentages specified in paragraph 2 have been reached as a result of a fall in total imports into the Community, and not as a result of an increase in exports of products originating in Azerbaijan.7. In the event of the provisions of paragraph 2, 3 or 4 being applied, Azerbaijan undertakes to issue export licences for products covered by contracts concluded before the introduction of the quantitative limit, up to the volume of the quantitative limit fixed.8. Up to the date of communication of the statistics referred to in Article 12 (6), the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article shall apply on the basis of the annual statistics previously communicated by the Community.Article 61. In view of ensuring the effective functioning of this Agreement, the Community and Azerbaijan agree to cooperate fully in order to prevent, to investigate and to take any necessary legal and/or administrative action against circumvention by transhipment, re-routing, false declaration concerning the country or place of origin, falsification of documents, false declaration concerning fibre content, quantities description or classification of merchandise any by whatever other means. Accordingly, Azerbaijan and the Community agree to establish the necessary legal provisions and administrative procedures permitting effective action to be taken against such circumvention, which shall include the adoption of legally binding corrective measures against exporters and/or importers involved.2. Should the Community believe on the basis of information available that the present Agreement is being circumvented, the Community will consult with Azerbaijan with a view to reaching a mutually satisfactory solution. These consultations will be held as early as possible and at the latest within 30 days from the date of request.3. Pending the results of the consultation referred to in paragraph 2, Azerbaijan shall, as a precautionary measure, if so requested by the Community, take all necessary measures to ensure that, where sufficient evidence of circumvention is provided, adjustments of quantitative limits established under Article 5 liable to be agreed following the consultations referred to in paragraph 2 may be carried out for the quota year in which the request to open consultations in accordance with paragraph 2 was made, or for the following year if the quota for the current year is exhausted.4. Should the Parties be unable, in the course of the consultation referred to in paragraph 2 to reach a mutually satisfactory solution, the Community shall have the right:(a) where there is sufficient evidence that products originating in Azerbaijan have been imported in circumvention of the present Agreement, to set off the relevant quantities against the quantitative limits established under Article 5;(b) where sufficient evidence shows that false declaration concerning fibre content, quantities, description or classification of products originating in Azerbaijan has occured, to refuse to import the products in question;(c) should it appear that the territory of Azerbaijan is involved in transhipment or re-routing of products not originating in Azerbaijan, to introduce quantitative limits against the same products originating in Azerbaijan if they are not already subject to quantitative limits, or to take any other appropriate measures.5. The Parties agree to establish a system of administrative cooperation to prevent and to address effectively all problems arising from circumvention in accordance with the provisions of Protocol A to this Agreement.Article 71. The quantitative limits established under this Agreement on imports into the Community of textile products of Azerbaijani origin will not be broken down by the Community into regional shares.2. The Parties shall cooperate in order to prevent sudden and prejudicial changes in traditional trade flows resulting in regional concentration of direct imports into the Community.3. Azerbaijan shall monitor its exports of products under restraint or surveillance into the Community. Should a sudden and prejudicial change in traditional trade flows arise, the Community will be entitled to request consultations in order to find a satisfactory solution to those problems. Such consultations must be held within 15 working days of their being requested by the Community.4. Azerbaijan shall endeavour to ensure that exports of textile products subject to quantitative limits into the Community are spaced out as evenly as possible over the year due account being taken in particular of seasonal factors.Article 8In the event of denunciation of this Agreement as provided for in Article 20 (3), the quantitative limits established pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced on a pro rata temporis basis unless the Contracting Parties decide otherwise by common agreement.Article 9Azerbaijan exports of cottage-industry fabrics woven on hand- or foot-operated looms, garments or other made-up articles obtained manually from such fabrics and of traditional folklore handicraft products shall not be subject to quantitative limits, provided that these products originating in Azerbaijan meet the conditions laid down in Protocol B.Article 101. Should the Community consider that a textile product covered by this Agreement is being imported into the Community from Azerbaijan at a price abnormally lower than the normal competitive level and is for this reason causing or threatening to cause serious injury to Community producers of like or directly competing products, it may request consultations under Article 15, and in that event the following specific provisions shall be applicable.2. If following such consultations it is acknowledged by common accord that the situation described in paragraph 1 exists, Azerbaijan shall take, within the limits of its powers, the necessary steps, notably as regards the price at which the product in question will be sold, to remedy the situation.3. In order to determine whether the price of a textile product is abnormally lower than the normal competitive level, it may be compared with:- the prices generally charged for like products sold under the ordinary conditions by other exporting countries on the market of the importing country,- the prices of like national products at a comparable marketing stage on the market of the importing country,- the lowest prices charged by a third country for the same product in the course of ordinary commercial dealings in the three months preceding the request for consultations, and not having led to the adoption of any measure by the Community.4. Should the consultations referred to in paragraphs 2 above fail to lead to an agreement within 30 days of the Community's request for consultations, the Community may, until these consultations have produced a mutually satisfactory solution, temporarily refuse consignments of the product in question at prices under the conditions referred to in paragraph 1 above.5. In totally exceptional and critical circumstances, where consignments of products are being imported from Azerbaijan into the Community at prices abnormally lower than the normal competitive level, such as to cause injury which it would be difficult to repair, the Community may temporarily suspend imports of the products concerned pending agreement on a solution in the course of consultations, which shall be opened immediately. The Contracting Parties shall do their utmost to reach a mutually acceptable solution within 10 working days' notice of the opening of such consultations.6. Should the Community have recourse to the measures referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 above, Azerbaijan may at any time request the opening of consultations to examine the possibility of eliminating or modifying these measures where the causes which made them necessary no longer exist.Article 111. The classification of the products covered by this Agreement is based on the tariff and statistical nomenclature of the Community (herinafter called the 'combined nomenclature', or in abbreviated for 'CN') and any amendments thereof.Where any decision on classification results in a change of classification practice or a change of category of any product subject to this Agreement the affected products shall follow the trade regime applicable to the practice or category they fall into after such changes.Any amendment to the combined nomenclature (CN) made in accordance with the procedures in force in the Community concerning categories of products covered by this Agreement or any decision relating to the classification of goods shall not have the effect of reducing quantitative limits introduced pursuant to this Agreement.2. The origin of the products covered by this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the rules in force in the Community.Any amendement to these rules of origin shall be communicated to Azerbaijan and shall not have the effect of reducing any quantitative limit established pursuant to this Agreement.The procedures for control of the origin of the products referred to above are laid down in Protocol A.Article 121. Azerbaijan shall supply the Commission with precise statistical information on all export licences issued for categories of textile products subject to the quantitative limits established under this Agreement, or to a double-checking system expressed in quantities and in terms of value and broken down by Member States of the Community, as well as on all certificates issued by the competent Azerbaijani authorities for products referred to in Article 9 and subject to the provisions of Protocol B.2. The Community shall likewise transmit to the Azerbaijani authorities precise statistical information on import authorizations issued by the Community authorities and import statistics for products covered by the system referred to in Article 5 (2).3. The information referred to above shall, for all categories of products, be forwarded before the end of the month following the month to which the statistics relate.4. Upon request by the Community, Azerbaijan shall supply import statistics for all products covered by Annex I.5. Should it be found on analysis of the information exchanged that there are significant discrepancies between the returns for exports and those for imports, consultations may be initiated in accordance with the procedure specified in Article 15 of this Agreement.6. For the purpose of applying the provisions of Article 5, the Community undertakes to provide the Azerbaijani authorities before 15 April of each year with the preceding year's statistics on imports of all textile products covered by this Agreement, broken down by supplying country and Community Member State.Article 131. Azerbaijan shall create favourable conditions for imports of textile products originating in the Community listed in Annex I and, where appropriate inter alia, accord to them non-discriminatory treatment as regards the application of quantitative restrictions, and the granting of licences and the allocation of currency needed to pay for such imports. Azerbaijan will also recommend to its importers to use the possibilities offered by the Community producers of textiles mentioned above while according the highest possible degree of liberalization to those imports taking into account the development of trade between the Contracting Parties.2. Where a need for additional supplies arises and in particular a need leading to the diversification on imports of textile products in Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan shall accord non-discriminatory treatment to imports of textile products originating in the Community.Article 141. The Contracting Parties agree to examine the trend of trade in textile products and garments each year, in the framework of the consultations provided for in Article 15 and on the basis of the statistics referred to in Article 12.2.

The Community may request consultations in accordance with paragraph 1 when it ascertains that during a particular year of application of the Agreement difficulties arise in the Community or one of its regions due to a sharp and substantial increase, by comparison to the preceding year, in imports of a given category of Group I subject to the quantitative limits established pursuant to this Agreement.3. At the request of either of the Contracting Parties, consultations shall be held on any problems arising from the application of this Agreement. Any consultations held under this Article shall take place in a spirit of cooperation and with a desire to reconcile the differences between the Contracting Parties.Article 16The Contracting Parties undertake to promote the exchange of visits by persons, groups and delegations from business, trade and industry, to facilitate contacts in the industrial, commercial and technical fields connected with trade and cooperation in textile industry and textile products and garments, and to assist in the organization of fairs and exhibitions of mutual interest.Article 171.

The competent Azerbaijani authorities shall ensure that the certificate of origin is properly completed and for this purpose they shall call for any necessary documentary evidence or carry out any check which they consider appropriate.Article 4Where different criteria for determining origin are laid down for products falling within the same category, the certificates or declarations of origin must contain a sufficiently detailed description of the goods so as to enable Azerbaijani criterion to be determined, on the basis of which the certificate was issued or the declaration drawn up.Article 5The discovery of slight discrepancies between the statements made in the certificate of origin and those made in the documents produced to the customs office for the purpose of carrying out the formalities for importing the products shall not ipso facto cast doubt upon the statements in the certificate.TITLE III DOUBLE-CHECKING SYSTEM Section I Exportation Article 61. The competent authorities of Azerbaijan shall issue an export licence in respect of all consignments from Azerbaijan of textile products subject to any definitive or provisional quantitative limits established under Article 5 of the Agreement, up to the relevant quantitative limits as may be modified by Articles 4, 6 and 8 of the Agreement, as well as of all consignments of textile products subject to a double-checking system without quantitative limits as provided for in Article 2 (3) and (4) of the Agreement.Article 71.

However, where the Community has made recourse to the provisions of Articles 5 and 7 of the Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Agreed Minute No 1, or to the Agreed Minute No 2, the textile products covered by the export licences can only be put into free circulation in the region(s) of the Community indicated in those licences.2. Where quantitative limits have been introduced pursuant to this Agreement, each export licence must certify inter alia that the quantity of the product in question has been set off against the quantitative limit established for the category of the products concerned and shall only cover one category of products subject to quantitative limits. It may be used for one or more consignments of the products in question.3. For products subject to a double-checking system without quantitative limits the export licence shall conform to Model 2 annexed to this Protocol.

However, where the Community has recourse to the provisions of Articles 5 and 7 of the Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Agreed Minute No 1, or to the Agreed Minute No 2, the products covered by the import licences can only be put into free circulation in the region(s) of the Community indicated in those licences.3. The import authorizations for products subject to a double-checking system without quantitative limits shall be valid for six months from the date of their issue for imports throughout the customs territory to which the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community is applicable.4. The competent authorities of the Community shall cancel the import authorization already issued whenever the corresponding export licence has been withdrawn.However, if the competent authorities of the Community are notified of the withdrawal or the cancellation of the export licence only after the importation of the products into the Community, the relevant quantities shall be set off against the quantitative limits established for the category and the quota year concerned.Article 131. If the competent authorities of the Community find that the total quantities covered by export licences issued by the competent authorities of Azerbaijan for a particular category in any year exceed the quantitative limit established in accordance with Article 5 of the Agreement for that category, as may be modified by Articles 4, 6 and 8 of the Agreement, the said authorities may suspend the further issue of import authorizations. In this event, the competent authorities of the Community shall immediately inform the authorities of Azerbaijan and the special consultation procedure set out in Article 15 of the Agreement shall be initiated forthwith.2. Exports of products of Azerbaijani origin subject to quantitative limits or a double-checking system and not covered by Azerbaijani export licences issued in accordance with the provisions of this Protocol may be refused an import authorization by the competent Community authorities.However, without prejudice to Article 6 of the Agreement if the import of such products is allowed into the Community by the competent authorities of the Community, the quantities involved shall not be set off against the appropriate quantitative limits established pursuant to this Agreement, without the express agreement of the competent authorities of Azerbaijan.TITLE IV FORM AND PRODUCTION OF EXPORT CERTIFICATES AND CERTIFICATES OF ORIGIN, AND COMMON PROVISIONS CONCERNING EXPORTS TO THE COMMUNITY Article 141.

Azerbaijan shall also notify the Community of any change in this information.Article 201. Subsequent verification of certificates of origin or export licences shall be carried out at random, or whenever the competent Community authorities have reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the certificate or licence or as to the accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the products in question.2. In such cases, the competent authorities in the Community shall return the certificate of origin or the export licence or a copy thereof to the competent Azerbaijani authorities, giving, where appropriate, the reasons of form or substance which justify an enquiry. If the invoice has been submitted, such invoice or a copy thereof shall be attached to the certificate or to the licence or their copies. The authorities shall also forward any information that has been obtained suggesting that the particulars given on the said certificate or licence are inaccurate.3. The provisions of paragraph 1 above shall also apply to subsequent verifications of the declarations of origin provided for in Article 2 of this Protocol.4.

The information shall also include, at the request of the Community, copies of all the documentation necessary to fully determine the facts, and in particular the true origin of the goods.Should such verifications reveal systematic irregularities in the use of declarations of origin, the Community may subject imports of the products in question to the provisions of Article 2 (1) of this Protocol.5. For the purpose of subsequent verification of certificates of origin, copies of the certificates as well as any export documents referring to them shall be kept for at least two years by the competent Azerbaijani authorities.6. Recourse to the random verification procedure specified in this Article must not constitute an obstacle to the release for home use of the products in question.Article 211. Where the verification procedure referred to in Article 20 or where information available to the competent authorities of the Community or of Azerbaijan indicates or appears to indicate that the provisions of this Agreement are being circumvented or infringed, the two Contracting Parties shall cooperate closely and with the appropriate urgency in order to prevent any such circumvention or infringement.2. To this end, the competent authorities of Azerbaijan shall, on their own initiative or at the request of the Community, carry out appropriate inquiries, or arrange for such inquiries to be carried out, concerning operations which are, or appear to the Community to be, in circumvention or infringement of this Protocol. Azerbaijan shall communicate the results, of these inquiries to the Community, including any other pertinent information enabling the cause of the circumvention or infringement, including the true origin of the goods to be determined.3.

In the case of a difference of opinion between the Parties concerning the nature of these products, consultations shall be held within one month in order to resolve these differences.Should imports of any product covered by this Protocol reach proportions liable to cause problems within the Community, consultations with Azerbaijan shall be initiated as soon as possible, with a view to resolving the situation by the adoption if necessary of a quantitative limit, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 15 of this Agreement.2. The provisions of Titles IV and V of Protocol A shall apply mutatis mutandis to the products covered by paragraph 1 of this Protocol.Annex to Protocol B >REFERENTIE NAAR EEN FILM>PROTOCOL C Reimports into the Community, within the meaning of Article 3 (3) of this Agreement, of products listed in the Annex to this Protocol shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement, unless the special provisions below provide otherwise:1.

Reimports not covered by the Annex to this Protocol may be made subject to specific quantitative limits following consultations in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 15 of the Agreement, provided the products concerned are subject to quantitative limits pursuant to the Agreement, to a double-checking system or to surveillance measures.3. Having regard to the interests of both Parties, the Community may at its discretion, or in response to a request under Article 15 of the Agreement:(a) examine the possibility of transferring from one category to another, using in advance or carrying over from one year to the next, portions of specific quantitative limits;(b) consider the possibility of increasing specific quantitative limits.4.

In such a case, these limits shall not preclude the importation into the region(s) concerned of products which were shipped from Azerbaijan on the basis of export licences obtained before the date of formal notification to Azerbaijan by the Community about the introduction of the above limits.The Community shall inform Azerbaijan of the technical and administrative measures, such as defined in the attached note verbale, that need to be introduced by both Parties in order to implement the above paragraphs in conformity with the principles of the internal market.For the Government of the Republic of AzerbaijanFor the Council of the European CommunitiesAgreed Minute No 3 In the context of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Azerbaijan on trade in textile and clothing products, initialled at Brussels on 20 September 1993, the Parties agreed that Azerbaijan shall endeavour not to deprive certain regions of the Community which have traditionally had relatively small shares of Community quotas of imports of products serving as inputs for their processing industry.The Community and Azerbaijan further agreed to hold consultations, should the need arise, in order to avert any problems which might occur in this respect.For the Government of the Republic of AzerbaijanFor the Council of the European CommunitiesAgreed Minute No 4 In the context of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Azerbaijan on trade in textile and clothing products, initialled at Brussels on 20 September 1993, Azerbaijan agreed that, from the date of request for and pending the consultations referred to in Article 7 (3), it shall cooperate by not issuing export licences that would further aggravate the problems resulting from the regional concentration of direct imports into the Community.For the Government of the Republic AzerbaijanFor the Council of the European CommunitiesExchange of notes The Directorate-General for External Economic Relations of the Commission of the European Communities presents its compliments to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan and has the honour to refer to the Agreement on textile products between Azerbaijan and the Community initialled at Brussels on 20 September 1993.The Directorate-General wishes to inform the Ministry that whilst awaiting the completion of the necessary procedures for the conclusion and the coming into force of the Agreement, the Community is prepared to allow the provisions of the Agreement to apply de facto from 1 January 1993. This is on the understanding that either Party may at any time terminate this de facto application of the Agreement provided that 120 days' notice is given.The Directorate-General for External Economic Relations would be grateful if the Ministry would confirm its Agreement to the foregoing.The Directorate-General for External Economic Relations avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan the assurance of its highest consideration.Exchange of notes The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan presents its compliments to the Directorate-General for External Economic Relations of the Commission of the European Communities and has the honour to refer to the Agreement on textile products between Azerbaijan and the Community initialled at Brussels on 20 September 1993.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan wishes to confirm to the Directorate-General that whilst awaiting the completion of the necessary procedures for the conclusion and the coming into force of the Agreement, the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan is prepared to allow the provisions of the Agreement to apply de facto from 1 January 1993.

 1 . Por Decisión de 1 de abril de 1987 ( C0M(87 ) PV 868 ) la Comisión dló
 instrucciones a sus servicios de que procedieran a la codificación
 constitutiva de los actos Jurídicos , como máx I mo trás su décima
 modificación . Esta decisión respondía al deseo manifestado en
 repetidas ocasiones por el Parlamento Europeo , entre otros , de
 conseguir que el Derecho comunitario sea más transparente y
 accesible para el ciudadano , ya que la Comisión consideraba como un
 deber reconocer la necesidad de codificar y simplificar la normativa
 comunitaria en los diferentes campos .
 2 . Se trata de una codificación constitutiva en el sentido de que el
 nuevo Reglamento sustituirá a los distintos Reglamentos que son
 objeto de dicha operación de codificación . Tal operación respeta
 totalmente el fondo de los textos codificados , limitándose a
 reagruparlos y añadiendo solamente las modificaciones formales que
 la propia operación de codificación Implica .
 Como en anteriores ocasiones , la presente propuesta de Reglamento ha
 sido elaborada a partir de los textos publicados en el Diario
 Oficial -, el texto fotocoplado permite una visión Inmediata de las
 eventuales mejoras de redacción .
 3 . La propuesta de codificación del Reglamento ( CEE ) n° 354/ 79 del
 Consejo , de 5 de febrero de 1979 , por el que se establecen las
 normas generales para la Importación de los vinos , zumos y mostos de
 uva , se inscribe en un programa más amplio de codificación de la
 normativa del sector vitivinícola . En efecto , aunque el citado
 Reglamento no haya sido objeto de muchas modificaciones , su
 estructura originaria se ha modificado de tal modo que ha parecido
 conveniente recogerlo en un texto coordinado , con objeto de
 simplificar la aplicación del mismo por parte de los medios
 profesionales Interesados .

 EL CONSEJO DE LAS COMUNIDADES EUROPEAS,
 Visto el Tratado constitutivo de la Comunidad Económica Europea ,
 Visto el Reglamento ( CEE ) nQ 822 /87 del Consejo, de 16 de marzo de 1987, por el
 que se establece la organización común del mercado vitivinicola ( 1 ), cuya última
 modificación la constituye el Reglamento ( CEE ) nQ 4250 /88 ( 2 ), y, en particular,
 el apartado 2 de su articulo 70,
 Vista la propuesta de la Comisión,
 Considerando que las normas generales para la importación de los vinos , zumos y
 mostos de uva establecidas por el Reglamento ( CEE ) nQ 354 / 79 del Consejo ( 3 ), cu¬
 ya última modificación la constituye el Reglamento ( CEE ) nQ 222 / 89 ( 4), han sido
 modificadas de forma sustancial ; que , como consecuencia de las numerosas y suce¬
 sivas operaciones de codificación que se han producido en la normativa comunita¬
 ria del sector vitivinicola , conviene en aras de una mayor claridad, proceder a
 la codificación de dicho Reglamento ;
 Considerando que el apartado 1 del articulo 70 del Reglamento ( CEE ) nQ 822 / 87
 prevé que los productos importados contemplados en dicho articulo deben ir acom¬
 pañados de un certificado y de un boletin de análisis extendidos por un organis¬

 paises en pequeños envases y transportados en cantidades limitadas ; que , para
 facilitar el control de este seguido requisito, puede considerarse el mismo cumplido ,
 cuando se trate de importaciones de terceros paises cuyas exportaciones anuales
 a la Comunidad sean ya globalmente muy escasas ; que , en este caso, para evitar
 desviaciones de tráfico , los vinos deberán ser no sólo originarios sino también
 procedentes de los paises de que se trate ,
 Considerando que determinados terceros países que han sometido a sus productores
 de vino a un sistema eficaz de control ejercido por los organismos o servicios de
 dichos paises , a que se refiere la letra a ) del apartado 1 del articulo 70 del Re¬
 glamento ( CEE ) nQ 822/ 87, han manifestado su interés en autorizar que los producto¬
 res de vino extiendan ellos mismos el certificado y el boletin de análisis dispues¬
 tos en dicha letra ; que, para facilitar los intercambios con dichos terceros paises ,
 siempre que éstos hayan celebrado con la Comunidad compromisos que incluyan cláusu¬
 las relativas al refuerzo de la colaboración en materia de represión del fraude y
 mantengan buenas relaciones comerciales con la Comunidad , es conveniente permitir
 que , de manera análoga a lo que está previsto para los vinos de origen comunitario ,
 los documentos extendidos por los productores puedan considerarse como documentos
 emitidos por dichos organismos o servicios , siempre que éstos ofrezcan garantías
 adecuadas y ejerzan un control eficaz sobre la expedición de tales documentos ;
 Considerando que,, para medir la eficacia de esta nueva disposición es conveniente prever
 Jesde este momento que tales normas sólo serán aplicables durante un periodo de
 prueba ;
 Considerando que , vista la necesidad de asegurar una protección rápida y eficaz
 de los consumidores , parece indispensable prever la posibilidad de suspender la
 aplicación de estas nuevas medidas en caso de peligro para la salud de los consu¬
 midores o en caso de fraude y ello sin que sea necesario esperar al final del
 periodo de prueba ;
 Considerando que para facilitar los intercambios con terceros paises capaces de
 ofrecer garantías adecuadas en materia de elaboración de vinos , conviene prever
 que , en lo relativo a los vinos originarios de estos paises terceros , puedan dar ¬

 La présente proposition de la Commission répond au souci maintes fols
 exprimé par les Etats membres et le Parlement européen afin que des
 mesures soient prises pour accélérer la codification et la simpli ¬
 fication du droit communautaire . Cette proposition ne contient aucune
 disposition nouve Ile par rapport au droit existant ; elle n' a donc pas
 d' effet particulier sur les P.M.E. , mais II convient de le signaler ,
 car l' objectif de la transparence du droit communautaire s' impose , en
 particulier , dans les intérêts à long terme desdites P.M.E.
