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.

declaration has been made for puposes 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  declaration  have
been  made.

6.
In order to facilitate the cooperation foreseen under
this  Article,  Russia  undertakes  to  issue  automatic  export
authorisations  according

legislation  in  respect  of  exports  of  textile  products

the  competent  authorities  of  the  European  Community
will  issue  import  authorisations  only  on  the  presentation
of export authorisations issued by the competent Russian
authorities.

Russsia  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

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  transhipment  of  products  not
originating  in  Russia  the  Parties  will  agree  appropriate
measures  in  order  to  avoid  their  recurrence.

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

7.
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
exported  to  the  Party  making  the  request.

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
