in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the
Federative Republic of Brazil on arrangements in the area of market access for textile and clothing
products, initialled in Brasilia on 8 August 2002

AGREEMENT

1. Delegations of the European Community and the Federative Republic of Brazil met on 8 August 2002
with a view to discussing improvements in access to the respective markets of both Parties for textile
and clothing products.

2.1. The Federative Republic of Brazil shall not apply tariffs on textiles and clothing at rates higher that

those shown in Annex I.

2.2. The European Community shall suspend the application of the quantitative restrictions currently in
force in respect of imports of textile and clothing products from Brazil, affecting product categories 1,
2, 2A, 3, 4, 6, 6C, 9, 20, 22 and 39.

2.3. The Parties shall exchange the necessary documents proving the implementation of their commit-

ments.

3.

The Parties agree that the European Community retains the right to re-apply the quota regime at the
level applicable for the year in question, at the levels corresponding to their bilateral understanding
notified under the current Agreement on textiles and clothing (ATC) and for a maximum period not
extending beyond the duration of the ATC, in the event that Brazil fails to fulfil any of the obligations
contained in paragraphs 2 and 5 of this Agreement in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding
(hereinafter referred to as the ‘Memorandum of Understanding’). The Parties agree that Brazil retains
the right to suspend the application of its commitments under paragraphs 2 and 5 should the
European Community re-apply quotas in a manner inconsistent with its obligations under this
Memorandum of Understanding or fail to fulfil any of the obligations contained in paragraph 5. The
Parties agree to consult with each other pursuant to paragraph 6 before exercising this right.

4. Without prejudice to paragraph 3 and of the administrative cooperation as provided for in the bilat-
eral textile agreement initialled on 12 September 1986 and its subsequent amendments, and for the
purpose of exchanging information on trade in textiles and clothing in view of combating fraud, the
Parties agree the following:

(a) the products set out in paragraph 2.2 shall be subject to the procedures provided for in the
double-checking system set out in Articles 18 to 24 of Annex III to Council Regulation (EEC) No
3030/93. The double-checking system shall be introduced by the European Community as soon
as the latter has suspended the quotas in accordance with paragraph 2. The Parties agree to keep
the products set out in paragraph 2.2 subject to the double-checking system under review and
may propose changes to it following consultations pursuant to paragraph 6. The European
Community agrees that the products subject to the procedures foreseen in the abovementioned
double-checking system will not, as a consequence of this system, suffer any trade restriction;

(b) The European Union shall closely cooperate with Brazil to ensure the originating status of the

textiles and clothing products covered by this Memorandum of Understanding.

These procedures are subject to the provisions contained in Annex II.

5.

6.

The Parties agree to refrain from adopting any non-tariff measures that could hinder trade in textile
and clothing products, of the kind indicated in the Agreed Minute attached hereto. In this context the
Parties agree that quantitative limits shall not be introduced on the products referred to in paragraph
2 except in the event the European Community exercises the right to re-apply the quota regime
pursuant to paragraph 3.

The parties agree that the balance of this Memorandum of Understanding, forming a package of
mutual concessions freely extended between the Parties, depends on the full and faithful implementa-
tion of all the terms of this Memorandum of Understanding. As a result, the Parties agree to consult
periodically in order to ensure the proper implementation of this Memorandum of Understanding. In
addition, the Parties agree promptly to consult following the request of either Party concerning any
aspect of this Memorandum of Understanding.

L 305/23

In the event that one Party seeks to exercise the right contained in paragraph 3, it shall provide the
other with details of any alleged failure in writing. Consultations with a view to remedying the failure
in question shall be held within 60 days of such a written request unless the Parties agree otherwise.
In the event that the Parties cannot agree on appropriate remedial action within 60 days from the
start of the consultations, the first Party shall have the right to proceed under paragraph 3.

9.

The Parties agree to cooperate fully in respect of obligations inherent to the WTO or any of its
Bodies.

seeking mutual concessions concerning market access from other trading partners in the sector.

The Parties agree that this Memorandum of Understanding is without prejudice to their rights to
invoke the WTO Dispute Settlement Understanding.

10. All agreed minutes and declarations annexed to this Memorandum of Understanding shall form an

integral part of it.

11. The Parties agree that this Memorandum of Understanding shall enter into force on the first day of
the month following the day on which the Parties have notified each other that the internal proce-
dures necessary to this end have been completed. In the meantime, it shall be applied provisionally on
conditions of reciprocity.

ANNEX III

Agreed Minute (referred to in paragraph 5 of the Memorandum of Understanding)

In the context of the Agreement in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding on trade in textile and clothing
products between the European Community and the Federative Republic of Brazil, initialled in Brasilia on 8 August
2002 and more particularly with reference to paragraph 5 thereof, the Parties recorded their understanding that non-
tariff barriers related to all forms of hindrance to trade in the sector are not to be applied by any of the Parties. Bearing
in mind their WTO commitments (rights and obligations), the Parties agree these non-tariff barriers include but are not
limited to matters such as:

— any additional customs duties on the import or sale of products of EU or Brazilian origin in excess of those set out
in the Agreement, or any fees and charges in connection with importation or exportation in excess of the approxi-
mate cost of services rendered (1),

— any taxes which are higher than any such taxes imposed on the production or sale of equivalent domestic goods,

— technical regulations or standards, or conformity assessment or certification rules, procedures or practices going

beyond the purposes for which they are required,

— any indicative values resulting in effective application or minimum prices or arbitrary and fictitious prices or any

customs valuation rules, procedures or practices giving rise to barriers to trade,

— rules, procedures or practices for pre-shipment inspection that are discriminatory, non-transparent, excessively
lengthy or burdensome, and the imposition of customs controls for the clearance of goods to shipments that have
already been subject of pre-shipment inspection,

— excessively burdensome, costly or arbitrary rules, procedures or practices concerning the certification of the origin of

products or requiring direct shipment of goods from the country of origin to the country of destination,

— any non-automatic, discretionary or other licensing requirements, rules, procedures or practices imposing dispropor-
tionate burdens or having restrictive effects on imports. In particular application for automatic licenses submitted in
an appropriate and complete form should be approved immediately on receipt, to the extent administratively
feasible, but within a maximum of 10 working days,

— requirements or practices concerning marking,

labelling, the description of composition of the product or the
description of the manufacturing or products which, either in their formulation or in their application, are in any
form discriminatory as compared with domestic products and not more trade restrictive than necessary to fulfil a
legitimate objective (2),

— unduly long customs clearance delays or excessively burdensome, non-transparent or costly customs procedures,

including inspection requirements, which have an unnecessary restrictive effect on imports,

— subsidies causing injury to the textile and clothing industry of the other Party.

In order to facilitate legitimate trade, notwithstanding the need of effective control, the Parties undertake to:

— cooperate and exchange information on all issues concerning customs legislation and procedures, and in particular

to deal promptly with problems faced by operators arising from measures covered by this Agreement,

— provide effective, non-discriminatory and prompt procedures enabling the right of appeal against customs and other

agency administrative actions, ruling and decisions affecting import or export of goods,

— establish an appropriate consultation mechanism between customs administrations and traders on customs regula-

tions and procedures,

— publish, as far as possible through electronic means, and publicise new legislation and general procedures related to

customs, as well as any modification, no later than the entry into force of any such legislation and procedures,

— cooperate with a view to reaching a common approach to issues relating to customs valuation, in particular the
elaboration of a ‘code of good practices’ in relation to working methods and operational aspects, the use of indicative
or reference indices, appropriate documentation to certify the accuracy of the customs value and the use of securi-
ties. The Parties agree to open negotiations on the ‘code of good practices’ at the entry into force of this Memor-
andum of Understanding and to conclude them as soon as possible.

(1) The Parties understand that the AFRMM is not covered by this provision.
(2) The European Community agrees that eco-labelling requirements in the textile sector will not be applied as an additional hindrance to

imports from Brazil.

Additional Agreed Minute

The European Community notes the commitment by the Government of Brazil to make its best endeavours so that the
additional tax of 1,5 % applied on imports of goods into Brazil and initially expiring on 31 December 2002 will not be
applied beyond that date for the products listed in Annex I to this Memorandum of Understanding. The European
Community considers that the discontinuation of this tax for the products listed in Annex I to this Memorandum of
Understanding from 31 December 2002 is part of the balance of concessions of the Agreement. If, however, this addi-
tional tax of 1,5 % is extended for the products listed in Annex I to this Memorandum of Understanding, the European
Community agrees to grant a maximum period of three months, beginning 1 January 2003, for its expiration. Should
such tax be extended beyond that date, the European Community and the Federative Republic of Brazil agree that the
European Community can reintroduce the quota for either category 2A or for category 9 at the levels corresponding to
their bilateral understanding notified under the current Agreement on textiles and clothing (ATC). Before reintroducing
this quota, the European Community will notify Brazil of its intention of doing so. Brazil and the European Community
agree to hold consultations prior to the reintroduction of such quota within 60 days of the request of either party. In
the event the Parties cannot agree on appropriate remedial action within 60 days from the request for the consultations,
the European Community will have the right to reintroduce the quota as from 1 June 2003 onwards.

Declaration

In the context of the Agreement in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding on trade in textile and clothing
products between the European Community and the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Agreed Minute thereto initi-
alled in Brasilia on 8 August 2002, and more particularly with reference to the possible reintroduction of quotas in the
event of a failure by Brazil to fulfil the obligations referred to in paragraphs 2 and 5 in the same way as Brazil retains
the right to suspend the application of its commitments on paragraphs 2 and 5, should the European Community re-
apply quotas in a manner consistent with its obligations under this Memorandum of Understanding or fail to fulfil any
of the obligations contained in paragraph 5, the Parties declare that the commitments entered into concerning non-tariff
barriers are bilateral commitments entered into between the Parties independently of any multilateral commitments also
applicable to the Parties. In consequence, the Parties agree that the application of these provisions is of a purely bilateral
nature. The Parties further agree that these bilateral commitments are not intended to go beyond or place them under
higher standards or obligations than the level of commitments they have entered into in a multilateral context. This
Memorandum of Understanding is without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the Parties under multilateral agree-
ments to which both are Parties.

With respect to existing taxes, fees or charges applied by any of the two Parties not covered by the Agreed Minute, it is
understood they are subject to WTO rules.
