COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1058/2002

of 18 June 2002

authorising transfers between the quantitative limits of textiles and clothing products originating
in the People’s Republic of China

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12
October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile
products from third countries (1), as last amended by Commis-

Whereas:

Article 5 of the agreement between the Community and
the People’s Republic of China on trade in textiles pro-
ducts (3), initialled on 9 December 1988 and approved
by Council Decision 90/647/EEC, as last amended and
extended by an Agreement in the form of an Exchange
of Letters, initialled on 19 May 2000 and approved by
Council Decision 2000/787/EC (4), provides that trans-
fers may be made between quota years.

The People’s Republic of China submitted a request for
transfers between quota years on 5 November 2001 for
additional flexibilities, and most specifically for a carry-
over of quantities from the quantitative limits of year
2001 to year 2002.

The transfers requested by the People’s Republic of China
fall within the limits of the flexibility provisions referred
to in Article 5 of the agreement between the Community

and the People’s Republic of China on trade in textiles
products, initialled on 9 December 1988 and as set out
in Annex VIII of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.

It is, therefore, appropriate to grant the request to the ex-
tent that quantities are available.

It is desirable for this Regulation to enter into force on
the day after its publication in order to allow operators
to benefit from it as soon as possible.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in ac-
cordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
