COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EC)  No  47/1999

of  22  December  1998

on  the  arrangements  for  imports  of  certain  textile  products  originating  in  Taiwan

THE  COUNCIL  OF  THE  EUROPEAN  UNION,

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

Having  regard  to  the  proposal  from  the  Commission,

Whereas  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  3060/95  of
22  December  1995  on  the  arrangements  for  imports  of
certain  textile  products  originating  in  Taiwan (1)  applies
until  31  December  1998;

Whereas 
these  arrangements  should  be  maintained
beyond  that  date  pending  Taiwan’s  accession  to  the
World  Trade  Organisation;

Whereas,  in  order,  inter  alia,  to  ensure  compliance  with
the  objectives  of  this  Regulation,  the  release  for  free
circulation  of  the  products  in  question  should  be  made
subject  to  import  authorisation  on  presentation  of  an
export  document  issued  in  Taiwan  by  a  body  affording
all  the  necessary  guarantees;

Whereas it is necessary to provide that neither handicraft
or traditional folklore products, for which an appropriate
certification  system  will  be  devised,  nor  products
introduced  into  the  customs  territory  of  the  Community
under  the 
inward  processing  rules  or  under  other
temporary  admission  rules  and  re-exported  from  that
territory in the same state or after processing are to be set
off  against  the  abovementioned  quantitative  limits;

Whereas  provision  should  be  made  for  introducing,
where  certain  conditions  are  fulfilled,  quantitative  limits
on  textile  products  which  are  included  in  the  import
arrangements  applicable  to  Taiwan  but  for  which  no
quantitative  limit  has  been  fixed;

Whereas  it  should  be  possible,  where  it  is  found  that
products  originating  in  Taiwan  and  subject  to  this
Regulation  have  been  imported  into  the  Community  in
an  attempt  to  evade  the  provisions  of  this  Regulation,  to
deduct  the  quantity  of  goods  concerned  from  the
appropriate  quantitative  limits  established  pursuant  to
this  Regulation;

Whereas  it  should  be  possible  to  introduce  specific
quantitative 
limits  for  products  obtained  under  the
outward  processing  relief  arrangements;

Whereas  the  import  arrangements  in  force  at  present
expire  on  31  December  1998;  whereas  it  is  necessary  to
in  respect  of
provide  for  transitional  arrangements 
products  shipped  before  1  January  1999,
