Commission Communication concerning common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in China  


Official Journal L 367 , 31/12/1988 P. 0075 - 0077 





COMMISSION COMMUNICATION  concerning common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in China Following the initialling of a new four year (1989 to 1992) Agreement between the European Economic Community and the People's Republic of China on trade in textile products, the Council of Ministers adopted a Decision on 19 December 1988  concerning the provisional application of the Agreement as from 1 January 1989, pending its formal conclusion.  The Regulation setting out common import rules for Chinese textile products will not have been adopted by the Council by 1 January 1989. This communication therefore sets forth the essential elements required for the provisional implementation of the  Agreement.  The Agreement provides in particular for limits on the export by China of certain textile products. The 1989 quantitative limits, set out by textile category, are annexed hereto, the textile categories referred to being those given in Annex I to Council  Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 of 22 December 1986 (1). Certain categories of products not previously subject to export restraints have, under the new Agreement, been brought under limitation, and these are marked in the Annex to this communication with an  asterisk.  The quantitative limits will, as in the past (2), be subject to a double checking system, i. e. the delivery of import authorizations by the competent authorities in the Member States against valid Chinese export licences.  Pending the publication of common rules for the import of Chinese textile products, information may be obtained from the Commission of the European Communities (Directorate-General for External Relations, Division I-D-1), 200, rue de la Loi, B-1040  Brussels.
