THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

Whereas:

(1)

the Agreement between the European
Article 5 of
Community and the People's Republic of China on trade
in textile products, initialled on 9 December 1988 and
approved by Council Decision 90/647/EEC (3), as last
amended and extended by an Agreement in the form of
an Exchange of Letters, initialled on 19 May 2000 and
approved by Decision 2000/787/EC (4), and Article 8 of
