textile  products  from  either  Party  may  only  be  made  subject  to  quantitative 
restraint  in  accordance  with  Article  17  of  the  Partnership  and  Cooperation 
Agreement. 

2.  For a period  of three years following  the date on which  this Agreement enters  into

- 

- 

the  level  of  any  quantitative  restraint  fixed  under  the  provisions 
referred  to in paragraph  1 in respect of imports of textile  products shall 
be  set  at  a  level  not  lower  than  the  actual  level  of  exports  or  imports 
from  the  Party  concerned  during  the  12-month  period  terminating two 
months preceding  the month  in which  the  request  for consultation  was 
made or the date on which the measures  were  introduced: 

those  categories  of 

textile  products  previously  subject 

for 
to 
quantitative  limits  and  set  out  in  Annex  2,  any  quantitative  restraint 
fixed  under  the  provisions  referred  to  in  paragraph  1 for a category  of 
products  shall  be  set  at  a  level  not  lower  than  the  level  of  the  1997 
quota  for  the  category  in  question  and  shall  not  be  triggered  until 
imports  into  the  European  Community  of  products  of  Russian  origin 
of  that  category  have  reached  5%  of  the  total  imports  into  the 
European  Community  for that category. 

3.  The  Parties  agree  to  consult  fully  pursuant  to  Article  5  in  the  event  of  the 
application  of this Article. 

Article 4 

The  Parties, agree that circumvention  by transhipment,  re-routing, false  declaration 
concerning  country  or  place  or  origin,  and  falsification  of  official  documents, 
frustrates  the  effective  functioning  of  this  Agreement.  Accordingly,  the  Parties 
agree  to establish  the  necessary  legal  provisions  and/or  administrative  procedures 
to  address  and  take  action  against  such  circumvention.  The  Parties  agree  further 
that, consistent  with  their domestic  laws and  procedures, they  will  cooperate  fully 
to address problems arising  from  circumvention. 

Should  either  Party  believe  that  this  Agreement  is  being  circumvented  by 
transhipment,  re-routing,  false  declaration  concerning  country  or  place  of  origin, 
or  falsification  of  official  documents,  and  that  no,  or  inadequate,  measures  are 
being  applied  to  address  and/or  to  take  action  against  such  circumvention,  the 
Party  should  consult  with  the other  with  a view  to  seeking  a mutually  satisfactory 
solution.  Such  consultations  should  be  held  promptly,  and  within  30 days  when 
possible. 

The  Parlies agree to take necessary  action, consistent  with  their domestic  laws and 
procedures,  to  prevent,  to  investigate  and,  where  appropriate,  to take  legal  and/or 
administrative  action  against  circumvention  practices  within  their  territory.  The 
Parties  agree  to  cooperate  fully,  consistent  with 
their  domestic  laws  and 
procedures,  in  instances  of  circumvention  or  alleged  circumvention  of  this 
Agreement,  to  establish  the  relevant  facts  in  the  places  of  import,  export  and, 
where applicable, transhipment.  It is agreed  that such  cooperation, consistent  with 
domestic  laws  and  procedures,  will  include  :  investigation  of  circumvention 
practices  which 
to  the  Party  maintaining  such 
restraints;  exchange  of  documents,  correspondence,  reports  and  other  relevant 
information  to  the  extent  available;  and  facilitation  of  plant  visits  and  contacts, 
upon  request  and  on  a case-by-case  basis.  The  Party  should  endeavour  to  clarify 
the  circumstances  of  any  such 
instances  of  circumvention  or  alleged 
circumvention,  including  the  respective  roles  of  the  exporters  or  importers 
involved. 

increase  restrained  exports 

Where, as a result  of  investigation,  there  is sufficient  evidence  that  circumvention 
has  occurred  (e.g.  where  evidence  is available  concerning  the country  or  place  of 
true  origin,  and  the  circumstances  of  such  circumvention)  the  Parties  agree  that 
appropriate  action,  to  the  extent  necessary  to  address  the  problem,  should  be 
taken.  Also,  where  there  is evidence  of  the  involvement  of  the territory  of  either 
Party  through  which  goods  have  been  transhipped,  such  action  may  include  the 
introduction  of  restraints  with  respect  to  the  Party  concerned.  Any  such  actions, 
together  with  their  timing  and  scope, may  be taken  after  consultations  held  with a 
view  to  arriving  at  a  mutually  satisfactory  solution  between  the  Parties.  The 
Parties may agree on other remedies in consultation. 

The  Parties  agree  that  false  declaration  concerning  fibre  content,  quantities, 
description  or  classification  of  merchandise  also  frustrates  the  objective  of  this 
Agreement.  Where  there  is  evidence  that  any  such  false  declaration  has  been 
made  for  purposes  of  circumvention,  the  Parties  agree  that  appropriate  measures, 
consistent  with  domestic  laws  and  procedures,  should  be  taken  against  the 
exporters  or  importers  involved.  Should  either  Party  believe  that  this  Agreement 
is  being  circumvented  by  such  false  declaration  and  that  no,  or  inadequate, 
administrative  measures  are  being  applied  to  address  and/or  to take action  against 
such circumvention,  that  Party should  consult  promptly  with  the other with a view 
to  seeking  a  mutually  satisfactory  solution.  This  provision  is  not  intended  to 
prevent  Parties  from  making  technical  adjustments  when  inadvertent  errors  in 
declarations  have been  made. 

In order  to  facilitate  the cooperation  foreseen  under  this Article.  Russia  undertakes 
to  the  relevant  Russian 
to  issue  automatic  export  authorisations  according 
to 
legislation 
quantitative  limits and set out  in Annex 2. 

in  respect  of  exports  of  textile  products  previously  subject 

<? 

For  those  categories  subject  ^to  the  issue  of  export  licences  the  competent 
authorities  of  the  European  Community  will  issue  import  authorizations  only  on 
the  presentation  of  export  authorizations  issued  by  the  competent  Russian 
authorities 

Russia  undertakes  to  transmit,  on  a  weekly  basis,  information  on  quantities 
covered  by  the  automatic  export  authorisations  referred  to  above.  This  may  be 
carried  out  by  way  of  an  electronic  linkage  between  the  competent  Russian 
authorities and the Système  Intégré de Gestion  de  Licenses (hereinafter  referred  to 
as  'SIGL')  as  established  by  the  Community.  The  Community  will  ensure  full 
technical  and  financial  assistance  in  setting  up  such  linkage,  within  the  limits  of 
TACIS  programme. 

In  case  of  significant  and  unjustified  discrepancies  between  the  information 
received  through  the  electronic  linkage  with  SIGL  and  the  export  authorizations 
submitted  to  the  competent  authorities  of  the  European  Community,  either  Party 
may  request  consultations  under  Article  5  of  the  Agreement  in  order  to  identify 
the  reasons  for  the discrepancies.  Should  these  discrepancies  be due  to  fraudulent 
in  Russia  the  Parties  will  agree 
transhipment  of  products  not  originating 
appropriate  measures  in order to avoid their  recurrence. 

This  system  of double  checking  shall  be maintained  for  as  long as  both  Parties  so 
desire. 

Following  a  request  from  one  Party  the  other  Party  shall  provide  data  on  a 
monthly  basis in respect of its exports of the specific  categories of textile  products 
products exported  to the Party making the request. 

Article 5

to in this Agreement shall be governed by the following  rules: 

any request for consultations  shall be notified  in writing to the other  Party, 

the request  for consultation  shall be followed  within  15 days of the  notification  by 
a statement  setting out the reasons and circumstances  which,  in the opinion  of the 
requesting  Party, justify  the submission of such a request, 

the  Parties  shall  enter  into  consultations  within  one  month  of  notification  of  the 
request  at  the  latest,  with  a  view  to  reaching  agreement  or  a  mutually  acceptable 
conclusion  within one further  month at the  latest. 

2.  If  necessary,  at  the  request  of  either  of  the  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 Parties.
