Introduction of electronic licensing for imports of textiles and clothing imports

Introduction of electronic licensing for imports of textiles and clothing imports

(2001/C 308/14)

The new paragraph 3 of Article 11 of Annex III of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 on common
rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries,
introduced by Regulation (EC) No
391/2001 of 26 February 2001 (1) states that (cid:145)where a supplier country has entered into administrative
arrangements with the Community concerning electronic licensing the relevant information may be trans-
mitted by electronic means to replace the grant of export licences in paper form(cid:146).

The Commission has since then engaged in discussions with third countries for the electronic transmission
of data corresponding to export licences, and has entered into the necessary arrangements with the
following: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. For these, from 1 November 2001,
the presentation of the original of the corresponding export licence will no longer be required for the
issuance of import licences by the licensing authorities of Member States, and these can therefore be issued
upon receipt by the competent authorities of Member States of the data transmitted in electronic form by
the supplier countries and confirmation from the Commission that the amounts requested are available
and/or of the validity of the electronic licence. The competent authorities of the supplier third countries
concerned may, however, issue any appropriate documents, including if they consider it appropriate formal
export licences, for the benefit of operators in order to facilitate the transaction.

For any questions, economic operators are invited to contact the licensing authorities of the Member
States, the list of which is published in the Official Journal of the European Communities C 78, 18.3.2000, p. 2.
