Letter  No  1

LETTER  FROM  THE  COUNCIL  OF  THE  EUROPEAN  UNION

Sir,

1.

I have the honour to refer to the negotiations held from 29 to 30 September and from 27
to  29  October  1997  between  our  respective  delegations  with  a  view  to  amending  the
Agreement  between  the  European  Community  and  the  Socialist  Republic  of  Vietnam  on
trade  in  textile  and  clothing  products  initialled  on  15  December  1992  and  applied  from
1 January 1993, as last amended by the Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters
initialled  on  1  August  1995  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  ‘the  Agreement’).

2.

As  a  result  of  those  negotiations  it  was  agreed  to  amend  the  Agreement  as  follows:

2.1

The  text  of  Article  3  is  replaced  by  the  following:

‘Article  3

Vietnam agrees to limit its exports to the Community of products listed in Annex II

1.
to  the  amounts  set  out  therein  for  each  Agreement  year.

In  the  allocation  of  quantities  for  export  to  the  Community,  Vietnam  shall  not
discriminate  against  companies  fully  or  partially  owned  by  Community  investors.

Exports of textile products set out in Annex II shall be subject to a double-checking

2.
system  as  specified  in  Protocol  A.

In  administering  the  quantitative  limits  referred  to  in  paragraph  1,  Vietnam  shall

3.
ensure  that  the  Community  textile  industry  benefits  from  utilisation  of  such  limits.

In particular, Vietnam undertakes to reserve, as a priority, 30 % of the quantitative limits
for  firms  in  that  industry  for  a  period  of  three  months  beginning  on  1  January  of  each
year. For this purpose, contracts made with such firms during the period in question and
submitted  to  the  Vietnamese  authorities  during  the  same  period  shall  be  taken  into
consideration.

4.
To  facilitate  the  implementation  of  these  provisions,  the  Community  shall  provide
the  competent  Vietnamese  authorities,  before  31  October  of  each  year,  with  a  list  of
interested  manufacturers  and  processors  and  of  the  indicative  quantity  of  products
requested  for  each  firm.  To  this  end,  the  firms  concerned  must  make  direct  contact  with
the  relevant  Vietnamese  bodies  during  the  period  specified  in  paragraph  3,  in  order  to
verify  what  quantities  are  available  under  the  reserve  referred  to  in  paragraph  3.

Subject  to  the  provisions  of  this  Agreement,  and  without  prejudice  to  the
5.
quantitative  system  applicable  to  products  subject  to  the  operations  referred  to  in
Article  4,  the  Community  undertakes  to  suspend  the  application  of  quantitative
restrictions  currently  in  force  in  respect  of  products  covered  by  this  Agreement.

6.
Exports of products referred to in Annex IV to the Agreement which are not subject
to  quantitative  limits  shall  be  subject  to  the  double-checking  system  referred  to  in
paragraph 2.’

‘Article  7

Vietnam  shall  ensure  that  the  supply  of  raw  silk  and  silk  waste  to  Community  industry
shall  be  made  at  conditions  not  less  favourable  than  to  Vietnamese  domestic  users.’

2.3

The  text  of  Article  9  is  replaced  by  the  following:

‘Article  9

1.
In any Agreement year, advance use of a portion of the quantitative limit established
in Annex II for the following year shall be authorised for each category of products up to
5 %  of  the  quantitative  limit  for  the  current  year.

Amounts delivered in advance shall be deducted from the corresponding quantitative limit
established  for  the  following  year.

2.
Carryover to the corresponding quantitative limit for the following year of amounts
not  used  during  any  given  Agreement  year  shall  be  authorised  for  each  product  category
up  to  7 %  of  the  specific  quantitative  limit  for  the  current  year.

Transfers  between  categories  4,  5,  6,  7  and  8  shall  be  limited  to  7 %  of  the

3.
quantitative  limit  laid  down  for  the  category  to  which  the  transfer  is  made.

Amounts  may  be  transferred  into  any  category  in  Groups  II,  III,  IV  and  V  from  any
category  in  Groups  I,  II,  III,  IV  and  V  up  to  7 %  of  the  specific  quantitative  limit  laid
down  for  the  category  to  which  the  transfer  is  made.

The  table  of  equivalence  applicable  to  the  transfers  referred  to  above  is  given  in

4.
Annex  I  to  this  Agreement.

5.
The  increase  in  any  category  of  products  resulting  from  the  cumulative  application
of  the  provisons  in  paragraphs  1,  2  and  3  above  during  an  Agreement  year  must  not
exceed  17 %.

The  Vietnamese  authorities  shall  give  the  Community  prior  notification  of  any

6.
recourse  to  the  provisions  of  paragraphs  1,  2  and  3  above.’

2.4

originating  in  Vietnam  exceeds  the  preceding  year’s  total  volume  of  imports  into  the
Community  from  all  sources  of  products  in  that  category  by  the  following  percentage:

— 1 %  for  product  categories  in  Group  I,

it may request the opening of consultations in accordance with the procedure described in
Article  17,  with  a  view  to  reaching  agreement  on  an  appropriate  restraint  level  for  the
products  in  that  category.’

2.5

The  text  of  Article  19  (1)  is  replaced  by  the  following:

‘1.
This  agreement  shall  enter  into  force  on  the  first  day  of  the  month  following  the
date  on  which  the  Contracting  Parties  notify  each  other  of  the  completion  of  the
procedures  necessary  for  this  purpose.  It  shall  be  applicable  until  31  December  2000.
Thereafter, its application shall be automatically extended for a period of one year, unless

LETTER  FROM  THE  GOVERNMENT  OF  THE  SOCIALIST  REPUBLIC  OF  VIETNAM

Letter  No  2

Sir,

I have the honour to ackhnowledge receipt of your letter of 17 November 1997 which reads as
follows:

‘Sir,

1.

I have the honour to refer to the negotiations held from 29 to 30 September and from

the  Agreement  between  the  European  Community  and  the  Socialist  Republic  of
Vietnam on trade in textile and clothing products initialled on 15 December 1992 and
applied  from  1  January  1993,  as  last  amended  by  the  Agreement  in  the  form  of  an
exchange  of  letters  initialled  on  1  August  1995  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  “the
Agreement”).

2.

As  a  result  of  those  negotiations  it  was  agreed  to  amend  the  Agreement  as  follows:

2.1

The  text  of  Article  3  is  replaced  by  the  following:

“Article  3

Vietnam  agrees  to  limit  its  exports  to  the  Community  of  products  listed  in

1.
Annex  II  to  the  amounts  set  out  therein  for  each  Agreement  year.

In  the  allocation  of  quantities  for  export  to  the  Community,  Vietnam  shall  not
discriminate  against  companies  fully  or  partially  owned  by  Community  investors.

Exports  of  textile  products  set  out  in  Annex  II  shall  be  subject  to  a

2.
double-checking  system  as  specified  in  Protocol  A.

In administering the quantitative limits referred to in paragraph 1, Vietnam shall

3.
ensure  that  the  Community  textile  industry  benefits  from  utilisation  of  such  limits.

In  particular,  Vietnam  undertakes  to  reserve,  as  a  priority,  30 %  of  the  quantitative
limits  for  firms  in  that  industry  for  a  period  of  three  months  beginning  on  1  January
of  each  year.  For  this  purpose,  contracts  made  with  such  firms  during  the  period  in
question and submitted to the Vietnamese authorities during the same period shall be
taken  into  consideration.

4.
To  facilitate  the  implementation  of  these  provisions,  the  Community  shall
provide the competent Vietnamese authorities, before 31 October of each year, with a
list  of  interested  manufacturers  and  processors  and  of  the  indicative  quantity  of
products  requested  for  each  firm.  To  this  end,  the  firms  concerned  must  make  direct
in
contact  with  the  relevant  Vietnamese  bodies  during  the  period  specified 
paragraph 3, in order to verify what quantities are available under the reserve referred
to  in  paragraph  3.

Subject  to  the  provisions  of  this  Agreement,  and  without  prejudice  to  the
5.
quantitative  system  applicable  to  products  subject  to  the  operations  referred  to  in
Article  4,  the  Community  undertakes  to  suspend  the  application  of  quantitative
restrictions  currently  in  force  in  respect  of  products  covered  by  this  Agreement.

6.
Exports  of  products  referred  to  in  Annex  IV  to  the  Agreement  which  are  not
subject to quantitative limits shall be subject to the double-checking system referred to
in  paragraph  2.”

ANNEX  G

AGREED  MINUTE

In the implementation of Article 3, Paragraph 1, of the Agreement, the Government of Vietnam
shall  follow  a  quota  allocation  policy  which  avoids  discrimination  against  companies  fully  or
partially  owned  by  Community  investors  operating  in  Vietnam.  In  order  to  increase
transparency  of  the  quota  allocation  policy,  the  Government  of  Vietnam  will  provide  the
Commission  with  the  texts  of  all  relevant  regulations  and  general  administrative  acts  as
promptly  as  they  have  been  adopted.  The  Vietnamese  Government  also  undertakes  to  provide
the Commission with statistics regarding quota allocation. The parties will decide upon content
and  format  of  such  information.

At  the  request  of  either  party  consultation  may  be  held  on  specific  matters  related  to  quota
allocation.
