Vietnam on trade in textile and clothing products initialled on 15 December 1992, as last
amended by the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters initialled on 17 November 1997

1. Letter from the Council of the European Union

Sir,

1.

I have the honour to refer to the negotiations held from 27 to 31 March 2000 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 17 November 1997 (hereinafter referred to as (cid:145)the
Agreement(cid:146)).

2.

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

2.1. Article 3 of the Agreement shall be replaced by the following:

(cid:145)Article 3

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

1.
amounts set out therein for each Agreement year.

In the allocation of quantities for export to the Community, Vietnam undertakes to ensure that
companies fully or partially owned by Community investors and Vietnamese companies are treated
equally.

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

2.
specified in Protocol A.

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

3.
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 four 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.

To facilitate the implementation of

the Community shall provide the
4.
competent Vietnamese authorities, before 31 October of each year, with a list of
interested
manufacturers and processors and of the 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.

these provisions,

5.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and without prejudice to the 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.

Exports of products referred to in Annex IV to the Agreement which are not subject to

6.
quantitative limits shall be subject to the double-checking system referred to in paragraph 2.

Should the Socialist Republic of Vietnam become a member of the World Trade Organisation
(WTO) before the date of expiry of this Agreement, the restrictions in force shall be phased out in

Accession to the WTO.(cid:146)

2.2. Article 19(1) of the Agreement shall be replaced by the following:

that it does no agree with the extension.

In the event of extension of the Agreement up to 31 December 2003, the quantitative limits for the
categories of products set out in Annex II for the year 2003 shall be the amounts set out in that
Annex for the year 2002 increased by the percentage of growth applied for each category of
products between the years 2001 and 2002.(cid:146)

2.3. Annex I to the Agreement shall be replaced by the text in Annex A to this letter.

2.4. Annex II to the Agreement shall be replaced by the text in Annex B to this letter.

2.6. A Protocol concerning the industry reserve, which appears in Annex D to this letter, is attached to

the Agreement.

2.7. Paragraph 4 of the Protocol of Understanding concerning access to the Vietnamese market for
products of the textile and clothing sectors originating in the European Community shall be replaced
by the text in Annex E to this letter.

2.8. Annex F to this letter shall become Annex III to the Protocol of Understanding concerning access to
the Vietnamese market for products of the textile and clothing sectors originating in the European
Community.

2.9. An Agreed Minute on the reciprocal opening of each Party’s markets, which appears in Annex G to

this letter, shall be attached to the Agreement.

3.

4.

An Agreed Minute on the operation of the industry reserve in 2000, which appears in Annex H to
this letter, is attached to the Agreement.

I should be obliged if you would confirm the agreement of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to the
above amendments. Should this be the case, this letter and its accompanying Annexes, together with
your written confirmation shall constitute an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters
between the European Community and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. This Agreement shall
enter into force on the first day of
the month following the date on which the European
Community and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam notify each other of the completion of the
procedures necessary for that purpose. In the mean time, the amendments to the Agreement shall be
applied provisionally from 1 July 2000, subject to reciprocity.

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

initialled on 17 November 1997, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam took note of concerns expressed by the European
Community regarding the implementation of Article 3(1), (3) and (4) of the Agreement. With a view to strengthening
mutual understanding and cooperation in this field, the following standard procedure for implementation of the
industry reserve was approved by both Parties:

(cid:151) the Vietnamese authorities will take the list of Community enterprises provided by the European Community

authorities as a list of those traders entitled to benefit from the industry reserve,

(cid:151) Community industry will make contact with Vietnamese exporters with a view to entering into contracts with the

Vietnamese manufacturers and exporters,

(cid:151) the Vietnamese manufacturers or exporters will submit applications for use of the industry reserve together with

the contracts to the competent Vietnamese bodies,

(cid:151) within the limits of the reserve, the authorities will grant Vietnamese manufacturers or exporters a quota for the

duration of the reserve, in accordance with the relevant regulations,

(cid:151) thereafter, the competent Vietnamese bodies will issue export licences to allow the Community traders specified in

the lists provided by the Community authorities to complete purchasing contracts.

In this regard, the Vietnamese authorities undertake:

(cid:151) to operate the system promptly and in a non-discriminatory manner,

(cid:151) to provide the names and addresses of the competent Vietnamese bodies,

(cid:151) to provide texts of the relevant regulations as soon as they are available,

(cid:151) to ensure that export licences issued under this system are identified as (cid:145)industry reserve(cid:146),

(cid:151) to supply separate statistical information concerning licences applied for and issued pursuant to these provisions by

1 April of each year,

(cid:151) to cooperate with the European Community authorities to ensure that licences issued pursuant to these provisions

are identified within the exchanges of information via the SIGL network.

The Parties agreed that, in the event of any difficulties in the application of the provisions relating to the industry
reserve, consultations may be held with a view to finding a mutually satisfactory solution.

2. Letter from the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam

Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of (cid:133) which reads as follows:

(cid:145)1.

I have the honour to refer to the negotiations held from 27 to 31 March 2000 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 17 November 1997 (hereinafter
referred to as (cid:147)the Agreement(cid:148)).

2.

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

2.1. Article 3 of the Agreement shall be replaced by the following:

(cid:147)Article 3

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

1.
amounts set out therein for each Agreement year.

In the allocation of quantities for export to the Community, Vietnam undertakes to ensure that
companies fully or partially owned by the Community investors and Vietnamese companies are
treated equally.

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

2.
as specified in Protocol A.

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

3.
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 four 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 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.

5.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and without prejudice to the 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.

Exports of products referred to in Annex IV to the Agreement which are not subject to

6.
quantitative limits shall be subject to the double-checking system referred to in paragraph 2.

Should the Socialist Republic of Vietnam become a member of

7.
the World Trade
Organisation (WTO) before the date of expiry of this Agreement, the restrictions in force shall
be phased out in the framework of the WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing and Vietnam’s
Protocol of Accession to the WTO.(cid:148)

2.2. Article 19(1) of the Agreement shall be replaced by the following:

(cid:147)1.
This Agreement shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the date on
which the Parties notify each other of the completion of the procedures necessary for that
purpose. It shall be applicable until 31 December 2002. Thereafter,
its application shall be
automatically extended for a period of one year, unless either Party notifies the other by 30 June
2002 at the latest that it does no agree with the extension.

In the event of extension of the Agreement up to 31 December 2003, the quantitative limits for
the categories of products set out in Annex II for the year 2003 shall be the amounts set out in
that Annex for the year 2002 increased by the percentage of growth applied for each category
of products between the years 2001 and 2002.(cid:148)

2.3. Annex I to the Agreement shall be replaced by the text in Annex A to this letter.

2.4. Annex II to the Agreement shall be replaced by the text in Annex B to this letter.

2.5. The Annex to Protocol B of the Agreement shall be replaced by the text in Annex C to this

letter.

2.6. A Protocol concerning the industry reserve, which appears in Annex D to this letter, is attached

to the Agreement.

2.7. Paragraph 4 of the Protocol of Understanding concerning access to the Vietnamese market for
products of the textile and clothing sector originating in the European Community shall be
replaced by the text in Annex E to this letter.

2.8. Annex F to this letter shall become Annex III to the Protocol of Understanding concerning
access to the Vietnamese market for products of the textile and clothing sector originating in the
European Community.

2.9. An Agreed Minute on the reciprocal opening of each Party’s markets, which appears in Annex G

to this letter, shall be attached to the Agreement.

3.

4.

An Agreed Minute on the operation of the industry reserve in 2000, which appears in Annex H
to this letter, is attached to the Agreement.

I should be obliged if you would confirm the agreement of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to
the above amendments. Should this be the case, this letter and its accompanying Annexes,
together with your written confirmation shall constitute an Agreement
in the form of an
Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
This Agreement shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the date on which
the European Community and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam notify each other of
the
completion of the procedures necessary for that purpose. In the mean time, the amendments to
the Agreement shall be applied provisionally from 1 July 2000, subject to reciprocity.(cid:146)

I have the honour to confirm that my Government is in agreement with the contents of your letter.

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

For the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
