COMMISSION  OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 

C0M(91)518  f l n al 

Brussels,  9  December  1991 

Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 

amending  Regulation  (EEC) No 4134/86 
on the arrangements  for  imports of certain  textile products 
originating  in Taiwan 

(presented  by  the  Commission) 

^ 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

1. The Council  Regulation  establishing  autonomous  arrangements  for  imports 

of  textile products  from  Taiwan  expires  on  31  December  1991. 

2.  In the  light of overall  Community  commercial  policy  for  textiles,  the 

import  arrangements  for  Taiwan  should  be  maintained. 

Since  1982, with  regard  to  trade  in textiles,  the economic  provisions 
and  duration of  the Community  arrangements  for  Taiwan  have  been  no 
different  than  those  for  equivalent  suppliers  (Hong  Kong,  South  Korea), 
and  the Regulation  should  therefore  have  carried  over  1991  arrangements 
into  1992 unchanged,  as had  been  decided  for  other  MFA  suppliers. 

3. However, on  1 April  1991, Taiwan  brought  In  liberalized  arrangements  for 
alcohol  and  spirits which  discriminate  against  the Community.  The  tax 
level  for  whiskies  from  the Community  is double  that  for other  whiskies 
(United  States).  In addition,  liberalization  for  other  spirits, 
including  brandies, will  not  occur  until  1 September  1992.  In order  to 
exert  pressure  on  the Taiwanese  authorities,  as  in 1987, and  in 
accordance  with  the  information given  to  them  several  months  ago,  it  is 
proposed  that  the original  quotas  for  1992 be  reduced  by  5%. 

4.  If Taiwan  returns  to a situation of  non-discrimination,  the  quotas 

initially estabIished  for  1992 will  be  restored  as soon  as  possible. 

5. The  attached  draft  Regulation  amends  Regulation  (EEC) No 4134/86,1  with 
the aim of  extending  its validity  and  laying  down  quantitative  limits 
for  1992. 

6. The Commission  is accordingly  requested  to adopt  the attached  draft 

Regulation  before  1 January  1992.

Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) No 
of 

amending Regulation  (EEC) No 4134/86 
on the arrangements  for  imports of certain  textile products 
originating  in Taiwan 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES, 

Having  regard  to the Treaty establishing  the European Economic  Community 
and  in particular  Article  113 thereof, 

Having  regard  to the proposal  from  the  Commission, 

Whereas Council  Regulation  (EEC) No 4134/86 of 22 December  1986 on the 
arrangements for  imports of certain  textile products originating  in 
Taiwan,1  as  last amended by Regulation  (EEC) No 3059/90,2 a I locates 
shares of  the Community  quantitative quotas on  imports and  lays down the 
arrangements for  imports  into the Community  of  the products  in question up 
to 31 December  1991 ; 

Whereas the arrangements should be maintained  beyond  that date and 
adjusted as part of the revision of overall  Community  commercial  policy 
for textile products; 

Whereas  in the  light of the continuing uncertainty  surrounding  the 
treatment  Taiwan applies to products originating  in the Community,  1992 
quotas should be set at  the  levels  laid down  in Annex  II-, whereas  these 
levels may, however, be adjusted  to take account  of changes  in the 
situation and restore  the quotas originally established; 

Whereas,  in order  to ensure  the best  possible utilization of  the Community 
quantitative  limits, they should be allocated  in accordance with  the 
requirements of  the Member  States; 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 of 
supplies cannot  immediately  be effected on the basis of  requirements 
alone; whereas the Member  States' shares of  the Community  quantitative 
limits for  1992 should be estabIished; 

Whereas  the  import  arrangements currently  in force expire on 31  December 
1991-, whereas  it  is necessary  to provide  for  transitional  arrangements  in 
respect  of products shipped before  1 January  1992; 

1  OJ L 386. 31.12.1986, p.1. 
2  OJ L 294, 25.10.1990, p.18. 

-'T 
Whereas Regulation  (EEC) No 4134/86 should  be amended  in order  to maintain 
its provisions  in force, and whereas Annex  II to that  Regulation should be 
amended  in order  to  lay down  the quantitative  limits for 1992, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

Article 1 

Regulation  (EEC) No 4134/86  is hereby  amended  as follows: 

1. Article  1(1)  is replaced  by  the  following: 

"1.  From  1 January  1992 to 31 December  1992,  imports  into the  Community 
of products of  the categories  listed  in Annex  I shall  be governed  by the 
provisions of  this Regulation." 

2. Article 2(1) and 2(4) are replaced  by the following: 

"1.  For  1992,  imports  into the Community  of  textile products  listed  in 
Annex  II and originating  in Taiwan shall  be subject  to quantitative 
quotas broken down  in a manner  which will  bring  about  an orderly 
expansion and development  of  the market  for  textiles and a gradual 
adjustment  to the supply needs of  the markets, allowing  for  carry-over 
and advance drawing  between one year  and another  and  for  transfers 
between categories. 

The quotas for  the period  from  1 January  to 31 December  1992 are shown 
in Annex  II." 

"4.  After  1 January  1992, the release  for  free circulation  in the 
Community  of  the products covered  by this Regulation  shall  be subject  to 
the  import  arrangements  in force before  that  date provided  the products 
were  loaded  in Taiwan before  1 January  1992." 

3. Article 2(7), 2(8) and 2(9), added by Regulation  (EEC) No 1653/88,3 are 

hereby  repealed. 

4.  In Article 6(2), 1 January  1983  Is replaced  by  1 January 1987. 

5. Article  13  is replaced  by  the following: 

"Article 13 

This Regulation  shall  enter  into force on  1 January  1992.  It shall 
apply until  31 December  1992." 

6. The descriptions and codes contained  in Annex  I to this Regulation 

replace  the descriptions and codes contained  in Annex  I for  the same 
categories. 

3  OJ L 153, 18.6.1988. p.1. 

7. Annex  II  is replaced  by  Annex  II  to  this  Régulation. 

Article  2 

This Regulation  shall  enter  into  force on  1 January  1992. 

This  Regulation  shall  be  binding  in  its entirety  and  directly  applicable  in 
a 11 Member  States.
