EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

In accordance with the Council mandate and the negotiating directives of 29 September 2003, 
subsequently  amended  in  November  2004  by  the  133  (Textiles)  Committee,  following  the 
adoption  of  the  EU  twin-track  approach  on  Serbia  and  Montenegro  (General  Affairs  and 
External Relations Council on 11 October 2004), the Commission has negotiated a bilateral 
agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Serbia on trade in textile 
products. 

The  proposed  bilateral  agreement  suspends  the  quotas  in  exchange  for  a  rapid  tariff 
dismantling  by  Serbia.  The  suspended  quotas  will  not  be  subject  to  double-checking 
(surveillance)  due  to  the  end  of  the  Agreement  on  Textiles  and  Clothing.  The  agreement 
includes substantial market access provisions (a tariff dismantling schedule over three years 
and  non-trade  barriers  provisions)  and  a  "snapback"  clause  for  both  Parties  in  case  of  non-
compliance with their respective commitments. 

The  Council  is  invited  to  approve  on  behalf  of  the  Community  this  proposal  for  a  Council 
Decision on the conclusion of this bilateral Agreement between the European Community and 
the Republic of Serbia on trade in textile products.

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY  

AND THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA  

ON TRADE IN TEXTILE PRODUCTS 

THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY, 

of the one part,  

and  

THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA, 

of the other part, 

DESIRING  to  promote,  with  a  view  to  permanent  co-operation  and  in  conditions  providing 
every  security  for  trade,  the  orderly  and  equitable  development  of  trade  in  textile  products 
between  the  European  Community  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  "the Community")  and  the 
Republic of Serbia (hereinafter referred to as “Serbia”), as a further step towards deeper trade 
and political relations including substantial trade liberalisation between the two parties in the 
framework of the Stabilisation and Association process;  

CONSIDERING that United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999) established an 
international civil presence in order to provide an interim administration for Kosovo (United 
Nations  Interim  Administration  Mission  in  Kosovo).  Accordingly,  it  is  not  possible  at  this 
time to apply the obligations undertaken in this Agreement in Kosovo; 

HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 

Article 1 

This agreement establishes the regime applicable to trade of textile products originating in the 
Community and in Serbia listed in Annex I. 

TITLE I - BASIC PROVISIONS 

Article 2  

The Community and Serbia agree that:  

1. 

2. 

1. 

The rates of customs duties applicable in Serbia to textile products originating in the 
Community shall be dismantled according to the schedule in Annex II.  

The  Community  will  continue  to  grant  duty  free  treatment  to  textile  products 
originating in Serbia in accordance with the applicable Community legislation. 

Article 3 

Quantitative restrictions on imports of textile products listed in Annex I into Serbia 
of  goods  originating  in  the  Community  and  measures  having  equivalent  effect,

including  non-tariff  barriers  as  specified,  in  particular,  in  Annex  III,  shall  not  be 
maintained nor introduced from the date of application of this Agreement except as 
provided under Articles 5 and 7. 

Without  prejudice  to  Article  4  paragraph  1,  quantitative  restrictions  on  imports  of 
textile products listed in Annex I into the Community of goods originating in Serbia 
shall be suspended. Measures having equivalent effect, including non-tariff barriers 
as specified, in particular, in Annex III, shall not be maintained nor introduced from 
the date of application of this Agreement, except as provided for under Articles 5, 6 
and 7 of this Agreement.  

Article 4 

The  Community  will  suspend  the  quantitative  restrictions  currently  in  force  for 
categories listed in Annex IV, as soon as Serbia notifies to the Community that it has 
implemented its commitments under Article 2 paragraph 1.  

Title  II  of  this  Agreement  lays  down  the  arrangements  applicable  to  quantitative 
restrictions and the surveillance regime.  

Article 5 

Either Party retains the right to suspend its obligations in Articles 2, 3 and in Article 
4, paragraph 1 should the other Party fail to fulfil its obligations.  

If the Community re-introduces quantitative restrictions, they shall be established at 
the year 2004 levels, increased by annual growth rates as last applied for that year.  

The  Parties  agree  to  consult  with  each  other  before  exercising  their  rights,  in 
accordance with Article 8.  

Article 6 

With a view to ensuring the effective functioning of this Agreement, the Community 
and Serbia agree to co-operate fully in order to prevent, to investigate and to take any 
necessary legal and/or administrative action against circumvention by transhipment, 
re-routing, false declaration concerning the country or place of origin, falsification of 
documents,  false  declaration  concerning  fibre  content,  quantities,  description  or 
classification of merchandise and by whatever other means. Accordingly, Serbia and 
the Community agree to establish the necessary legal provisions and administrative 
procedures permitting effective action to be taken against such circumvention, which 
shall  include  the  adoption  of  legally  binding  corrective  measures  against  exporters 
and/or importers involved. 

2. 

If  it  appears  on  the  basis  of  available  information  that  this  Agreement  is 
circumvented, the Community will consult with Serbia in accordance with Article 8. 

EN

   EN 

3. 

If the Parties fail to reach a mutually satisfactory solution, the Community shall have 
the right: 

4. 

5. 

1. 

2. 

a) 

b) 

to  introduce  quantitative  restrictions  against  the  same  products  originating  in 
Serbia  as  those  involved  in  circumvention  or  to  take  any  other  appropriate 
measures.  

to  set  off  the  relevant  quantities  against  the  quantitative  restrictions  that  are 
established under this Agreement. 

Where  available  information  shows  that  false  declaration  concerning  fibre  content, 
quantities,  description  or  classification  of  products  originating  in  Community  or  in 
Serbia has occurred, both Parties shall have the right to refuse to import the products 
in question. 

The Parties agree to establish a system of administrative co-operation to prevent and 
to address effectively all problems arising from circumvention in accordance with the 
provisions of Annex V of this Agreement. 

Article 7 

Where  as  a  direct  consequence  of  the  application  of  the  liberalisation  measures 
provided  for  in  this  Agreement  any  product  is  being  imported  in  such  increased 
quantities and under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause: 

a) 

b) 

serious injury to domestic producers of like or directly competitive products in 
the territory of the importing Party, or  

serious disturbances in any related sector of the economy or difficulties which 
could bring about deterioration in the economic situation of a region, 

the  Party  concerned  may  take  appropriate  measures  after  consultations  are  held  in 
accordance with Article 8. In case the other Party considers the measure adopted is 
not  justified,  it  shall  be  free  to  suspend  the  application  of  substantially  equivalent 
concessions granted under this Agreement after consultations are held in accordance 
with Article 8.  

The Community and Serbia may request consultations in accordance with Article 8 
when  either  Party  ascertains  that  during  a  particular  year  of  application  of  this 
Agreement  difficulties  arise  in  the  Community  or  in  Serbia  due  to  a  sharp  and 
substantial  increase,  by  comparison  to  the  preceding  year,  in  imports  of  a  given 
category of Group I.  

Article 8 

1. 

The consultation procedures referred to in this Agreement shall be governed by the 
following provisions: 

– 

– 

any request for consultations shall be notified in writing to the other Party, 

the  request  for  consultations  shall  be  followed,  within  a  reasonable  period  of 
time  and  in  any  case  not  later  than  15  days  following  the  notification,  by  a

report  setting  out  the  circumstances  which,  in  the  opinion  of  the  requesting 
Party, justify the submission of such a request, 

– 

the Parties shall enter into consultations within thirty days of notification of the 
request  at  the  latest,  with  a  view  to  reaching  a  mutually  acceptable  solution 
within  a  further  30  day  period  at  the  latest,  unless  this  period  is  extended  by 
common accord. 

At  the  request  of  either  of  the  Parties,  consultations  shall  be  held  on  any  problems 
arising  from  the  application  of  this  Agreement.  Any  consultations  held  under  this 
Article shall take place in a spirit of co-operation and with a desire to reconcile the 
differences between the Parties. 

TITLE II – QUANTITATIVE RESTRICTIONS AND SURVEILLANCE REGIME  

Article 9 

The  classification  of  the  products  covered  by  this  Agreement  is  based  on  the  tariff 
and  statistical  nomenclature  of  the  Community  (hereinafter  called  the  "Combined 
Nomenclature", or in abbreviated form "CN") and any amendments thereof. 

Where any decision on classification results in a change of classification practice or a 
change  of  category  of  any  product  subject  to  this  Agreement  the  affected  products 
shall follow the trade regime applicable to the practice or category they fall into after 
such changes. 

Any  amendment  to  the  Combined  Nomenclature  made  in  accordance  with  the 
procedures in force in the Community concerning categories of products covered by 
this Agreement or any decision relating to the classification of goods shall not have 
the effect of reducing quantitative restrictions introduced pursuant to this Agreement. 

2. 

The  origin  of  the  products  covered  by  this  Agreement  shall  be  determined  in 
accordance with the non-preferential rules of origin in force in the Community. 

The origin of the products subject to the tariff dismantling schedule provided for in 
Article 2 paragraph 1, shall be determined in accordance with Community rules that 
apply  to  autonomous  preferential  tariff  measures for certain  countries  or territories. 
Any amendment to these rules of origin shall be communicated to Serbia. 

The  procedures  for  control  of  the  origin  of  the  products  referred  to  above  are  laid 
down in Annex V. 

Article 10 

1. 

2. 

If quantitative restrictions are re-introduced in accordance with Articles 5 and 6 and 
7 exports of the textile products under quantitative restrictions shall be subject to a 
double-checking system as specified in Annex V. 

Following  consultations  in  accordance  with  the  procedures  set  out  in  Article  8, 
exports of products in Annex I not subject to quantitative restrictions, may be subject 
to the double-checking system referred to in Annex V or to a prior surveillance

Article 11 

1. 

2. 

The  Community  and  Serbia  recognise  that  re-imports  of  textile  products  into  the 
Community after processing in Serbia are a specific form of industrial and trade co-
operation. 

Should quantitative restrictions be established under the conditions specified in this 
Agreement, these re-imports shall not be subject to these quantitative restrictions if 
they are subject to the specific arrangements laid down in Title III. 

Article 12 

Exports  from  Serbia  of  cottage-industry  fabrics  woven  on  hand-  or  foot-operated  looms, 
garments  or  other  made-up  articles  obtained  manually  from  such  fabrics  and  of  traditional 
folklore  handicraft  products  shall  not  be  subject  to  the  quantitative  restrictions  established 
under this Agreement, provided that these products originating in Serbia meet the conditions 
laid down in Annex VI. 

Article 13 

1. 

2. 

Imports into the Community of textile products covered by this Agreement shall not 
be  subject  to  any  quantitative  restrictions  that  may  be  established  under  this 
Agreement,  provided  that  they  are  declared  to  be  for  re-export  outside  the 
Community  in  the  same  state  or  after  processing,  within  the  framework  of  the 
administrative system of control which exists within the Community. 

However, the release into free circulation of products into the Community under the 
conditions  referred  to  above  shall  be  subject  to  the  production  of  an  export  licence 
issued  by  the  Ministry  of  International  Economic  Relations  of  Serbia,  and  to  the 
production of a proof of origin in accordance with the provisions of Annex V. 

Where  the  Community  authorities  ascertain  that  imports  of  textile  products  have 
been  set  off  against  quantitative  restrictions  that  may  have  been  established  under 
this Agreement, but that the products have subsequently been re-exported outside the 
Community,  the  authorities  shall  inform  the  Ministry  of  International  Economic 
Relations  of  Serbia  within  four  weeks  of  the  quantities  involved  and  authorise 
imports of identical quantities of the same products, which shall not be set off against 
the  quantitative  restriction  established  under  this  Agreement  for  the  current  or  the 
following year, as appropriate. 

Article 14 

Should quantitative restrictions be introduced under this Agreement, the following provisions 
shall apply: 

1. 

In any year advance use of a portion of the quantitative restriction established for the 
following  year  is  authorised  for  each  category  of  products  up  to  5%  of  the 
quantitative restriction for the current year. 

Amounts delivered in advance shall be deducted from the corresponding quantitative 
restrictions established for the following year.

6. 

Carryover to the corresponding quantitative restriction for the following year of the 
amounts not used during any year is authorised for each category of products up to 
10% of the quantitative restriction for the current year. 

Transfers  in  respect  of  categories  in  group  I  shall  not  be  made  from  any  category 
except as follows: 

– 

– 

transfers  between  categories 1,  2  and 3  may  be  made  up  to  12%  of  the 
quantitative restrictions for the category to which the transfer is made, 

transfers  between  categories  4,  5,  6,  7  and  8  may  be  made  up  to  12%  of  the 
quantitative restriction for the category to which the transfer is made. 

Transfers into any category in groups II and III may be made from any category or 
categories  in  groups  I,  II  and  III  up  to  12%  of  the  quantitative  restriction  for  the 
category to which the transfer is made. 

The  table  of  equivalence  applicable  to  the  transfers  referred  to  above  is  given  in 
Annex I to this Agreement. 

The increase in any category of products resulting from the cumulative application of 
the provisions in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above during a year shall not exceed 17%. 

Prior notification shall be given by the Ministry of International Economic Relations 
of Serbia in the event of recourse to the provisions of paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above, at 
least 15 days in advance. 

Article 15 

The annual growth rate for the quantitative restrictions which may be introduced as provided 
for by this Agreement for the products covered by this Agreement shall be fixed by agreement 
between the Parties in accordance with the consultation procedures established in Article 8 of 
this Agreement. 

Article 16 

1. 

2. 

3. 

The  Ministry  of  International  Economic  Relations  of  Serbia  shall  supply  the 
Commission  with  precise  statistical  information  on  all  export  licences  issued  for 
categories of textile products subject to the quantitative restrictions established under 
this Agreement or to a double-checking system, expressed in quantities and in terms 
of  value  and  broken  down  by  Member  States  of  the  Community,  as  well  as  on  all 
certificates issued by the Customs Administration of Serbia for products referred to 
in Article 12 and subject to the provisions of Annex VI. 

The  Community  shall  likewise  transmit  to  the  Ministry  of  International  Economic 
Relations of Serbia precise statistical information on import authorisations issued by 
the Community authorities and import statistics for textile products. 

The information referred to above shall, for all categories of products, be forwarded 
before the end of the month following the month to which the statistics relate.

2. 

Upon request by the Community, the Ministry of International Economic Relations 
of Serbia shall supply import statistics for all products covered by Annex I. 

If  on  the  basis  of  the  information  exchanged  it  appears  that  there  are  significant 
discrepancies  between  the  returns  for  exports  and  those  for  imports,  consultations 
may  be  initiated  in  accordance  with  the  procedure  specified  in  Article  8  of  this 
Agreement. 

For  the  purpose  of  applying  the  provisions  of  this  Agreement,  the  Community 
undertakes  to  provide  the  Ministry  of  International  Economic  Relations  of  Serbia 
before  15  April  of  each  year  with  the  preceding  year’s  statistics  on  imports  of  all 
textile products covered by this Agreement, broken down by supplying country and 
Community Member State. 

Article 17 

Serbia  shall  monitor  its  exports  of  products  under  restraint  or  surveillance  into  the 
Community. Should a sudden and prejudicial change in traditional trade flows arise, 
the Community will be entitled to request consultations in order to find a satisfactory 
solution to those problems. Such consultations must be held within 15 working days 
of their being requested by the Community. 

Serbia  shall  endeavour  to  ensure  that  exports  of  textile  products  subject  to 
quantitative  restrictions,  which  may  be  established  under  this  Agreement  into  the 
Community  are  spaced  out  as  evenly  as  possible  over  the  year,  due  account  being 
taken in particular of seasonal factors. 

Article 18 

In  the  event  of  denunciation  of  this  Agreement,  the  quantitative  restrictions  that  may  be 
established pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced on a pro rata temporis basis unless 
the Parties decide otherwise by common agreement. 

Serbia and the Community undertake to refrain from discrimination in the allocation of export 
licences and import authorisations or documents referred to in Annexes V and VI. 

Article 19 

TITLE III – OUTWARD PROCESS TRAFFIC (OPT) 

Article 20  

Reimports  into  the  Community,  within  the  meaning  of  Article  11,  shall  be  subject  to  the 
provisions of this Agreement, unless the special provisions below provide otherwise, 

1. 

Reimports  into  the  Community  within  the  meaning  of  Article  11  may  be  made 
subject  to  specific  quantitative  restrictions  following  consultations  in  accordance 
with  the  procedures  set  out  in  Article  8  of  this  Agreement,  provided  the  products 
concerned  are  subject  to  quantitative  restrictions  pursuant  to  this  Agreement,  to  a 
double-checking system or to surveillance measures.

   EN 

2. 

Having regard to the interests of both Parties, the Community may at its discretion, 
or in response to a request under Article 8 of this Agreement: 

a) 

examine the possibility of transferring from one category to another, using in 
advance  or  carrying  over  from  one  year  to  the  next,  portions  of  specific 
quantitative restrictions; 

b) 

consider the possibility of increasing specific quantitative restrictions. 

3. 

However,  the  Community  may  apply  automatically  the  flexibility  rules  set  out  in 
paragraph 2 within the following restrictions: 

a) 

b) 

c) 

transfers  between  categories  may  not  exceed  25%  of  the  quantity  for  the 
category to which the transfer is made; 

carry-over of a specific quantitative restriction from one year to the next may 
not exceed 13.5 % of the quantity set for the year of actual utilisation ; 

advance use of specific quantitative restrictions from one year to another may 
not exceed 7.5 % of the quantity set for the year of actual utilisation. 

The Community shall inform Serbia of any measures taken pursuant to the preceding 
paragraphs. 

The  competent  authorities  in  the  Community  shall  debit  the  specific  quantitative 
restrictions referred to in paragraph 1 at the time of issue of the prior authorisation 
required  by  the  relevant  Community  legislation  which  governs  economic  outward 
processing  arrangements.  A  specific  quantitative  restriction  shall  be  debited  for  the 
year in which a prior authorisation is issued. 

A  certificate  of  origin  made  out  by  the  organisations  authorised  to  do  so  under  the 
law of Serbia shall be issued, in accordance with Annex V to this Agreement, for all 
products  covered  by  this  Title.  This  certificate  shall  bear  a  reference  to  the  prior 
authorisation mentioned in paragraph 5 as evidence that the processing operation it 
describes has been carried out in Serbia. 

The  Community  shall  provide  Serbia  with  the  names  and  addresses  of,  and 
specimens of the stamps used by, the competent authorities of the Community, which 
issue the prior authorisations referred to in paragraph 5 above.

4. 

Without prejudice to the rules for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature, 
the wording of the description of goods is considered to be of indicative value only, 
since the products  covered by each category are determined, within this Annex, by 
CN  codes.  Where  there  is  an  “ex”  symbol  in  front  of  a  CN  code,  the  products 
covered in each category are determined by the scope of the CN code and by that of 
the corresponding description. 

When  the  constitutive  material  of  the  products  of  categories  1  to  114  is  not 
specifically mentioned, these products are to be taken to be made exclusively of wool 
or of fine hair, of cotton or of man-made fibres. 

Garments which are not recognizable as being garments for men or boys or as being 
garments for women or girls are classified with the latter. 

Where the expression “babies” garments” is used, this is meant to cover garments up 
to and including commercial size 86.

AGREED MINUTE ON MARKET ACCESS 

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. 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  Community  or 
Serbia origin in excess of those set out in this Agreement, or any fees and charges in 
connection  with  importation  or  exportation  in  excess  of  the  approximate  cost  of 
services rendered; 

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 further barriers and controls within the territory of each Party hampering the free 
movement of goods after customs clearance and their release into free circulation. 

any  indicative  values  resulting  in  effective  application  of  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  disproportionate  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  of  products 
which,  either  in  their  formulation  or  in  their  application,  are  in  any  form 
discriminatory  as  compared  with  domestic  products  and  non  more  trade  restrictive 
than necessary to fulfil a legitimate objective; 

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 textiles and clothing industry of the other Party.

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 regulations and procedures; 

publish,  as  far  as  possible  through  electronic  means,  and  publicise  new  legislation

co-operate 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 
securities.  The  Parties  agree  to  open  negotiations  on  the  "code  of  good  practices" 
upon application of the present Agreement and to conclude them as soon as possible.

The  competent  authorities  of  the  Community  undertake  to  inform  Serbia  of  any 
changes in the Combined Nomenclature (CN) before the date of their entry into force 
in the Community. 

The  competent  authorities  of  the  Community  undertake  to  inform  the  competent 
authorities of Serbia of any decisions relating to the classification of products subject 
to  the  present  Agreement,  within  one  month  of  their  adoption  at  the  latest.  Such 
communication shall include: 

a) 

b) 

c) 

a description of the products concerned; 

the relevant category and the related CN codes; 

the reasons which have led to the decision. 

Where a decision on classification results in a change of classification practice or a 
change  of  category  of  any  product  subject  to  this  Agreement,  the  competent 
authorities  of  the  Community  shall  provide  30  days’  notice,  from  the  date  of  the 
Community’s communication, before the decision is put into effect. 

Products  shipped  before  the  date  of  entry  into  effect  of  the  decision  shall  remain 
subject to the earlier classification practice, provided that the goods in question are 
presented for importation into the Community within 60 days of that date. 

Where a Community decision on classification resulting in a change of classification 
practice  or  a  change  of  categorisation  of  any  product  subject  to  this  Agreement 
affects  a  category  subject  to  quantitative  restrictions,  the  Parties  agree  to  enter  into 
consultation  in  accordance  with  the  procedures  described  in  Article  8  of  this 
Agreement with a view to honouring the obligation under the third subparagraph of 
Article 9(1) of this Agreement. 

In  case  of  divergent  opinions  between  Serbia  and  the  competent  Community 
authorities at the point of entry into the Community on the classification of products 
covered by this Agreement, classification shall provisionally be based on indications 
provided by the Community, pending consultations in accordance with Article 8 of 
this Agreement with a view to reaching agreement on definitive classification of the 
product concerned.

4. 

Products  originating  in  Serbia  for  export  to  the  Community  in  accordance  with  the 
arrangements  set  out  in  this  Agreement  shall  be  accompanied  by  a  certificate  of 
origin  issued  by  the  Customs  Administration  of  Serbia  conforming  to  the  model 
annexed to this Annex. 

The certificate of origin shall be certified by the Customs Administration of Serbia, if 
the products in question can be considered products originating in Serbia within the 
meaning of the relevant rules in force in the Community. 

However,  the  products  in  Group  III  may  be  imported  into  the  Community  in 
accordance with the arrangements established by this Agreement on production of a 
declaration by the exporter on the invoice or other commercial document relating to 
the products to the effect that the products in question originate in Serbia within the 
meaning of the relevant rules in force in the Community. 

The certificate of origin referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be required for imports of 
goods  covered  by  a  movement  certificate  EUR.1  issued  in  accordance  with  the 
relevant  provisions  of  the  autonomous  tariff  regime  granted  to  Serbia  by  the 
Community. 

Article 3 

The certificate of origin shall be issued only on application having been made in writing by 
the  exporter  or,  under  the  exporter’s  responsibility,  by  his  authorised  representative.  The 
Customs  Administration  of  Serbia  shall  ensure  that  the  certificate  of  origin  is  properly 
completed  and  for  this  purpose  they  shall  call  for  any  necessary  documentary  evidence  or 
carry out any check which they consider appropriate. 

Article 4 

Where different criteria for determining origin are laid down for products falling within the 
same  category,  the  certificates  or  declarations  of  origin  must  contain  a  sufficiently  detailed 
description  of  the  goods  on  the  basis  of  which  the  certificate  was  issued  or  the  declaration 
drawn up. 

Article 5 

The discovery of slight discrepancies between the statements made in the certificate of origin 
and those made in the documents produced to the Customs Administration of Serbia for the 
purpose  of  carrying  out  the  formalities  for  importing  the  products  shall  not  ipso  facto  cast 
doubt upon the statements in the certificate.

respect  of  all  consignments  from  Serbia  of  textile  products  subject  to  any  definitive  or 
provisional  quantitative  restrictions  established  under  this  Agreement,  up  to  the  relevant 
quantitative restrictions as may be modified by this Agreement, as well as of all consignments 
of  textile  products  subject  to  a  double-checking  system  without  quantitative  restrictions  as

licence shall conform to the Model 1 annexed to this Annex and it shall be valid for 
exports  throughout  the  customs  territory  to  which  the  Treaty  establishing  the 
Community applies. 

Where  quantitative  restrictions  have  been  introduced  pursuant  to  this  Agreement, 
each export licence must certify inter alia that the quantity of the product in question 
has been set off against the quantitative restriction established for the category of the 
products  concerned  and  shall  only  cover  one  category  of  products  subject  to 
quantitative  restrictions.  It  may  be  used  for  one  or  more  consignments  of  the 
products in question. 

For  products  subject  to  a  double-checking  system  without  quantitative  restrictions 
the export licence shall conform to the Model 2 annexed to this Annex. It shall only 
cover one category of products and may be used for one or more consignments of the 
products in question. 

The  competent  authorities  of  the  Community  must  be  informed  immediately  of  the

Article 12 

The  competent  authorities  of  the  Community  shall  issue  the  import  authorisation 
referred to in Article 11 of this Annex, within five working days of the presentation 
by the importer of the original of the corresponding export licence. 

The  import  authorisations  concerning  products  subject  to  quantitative  restrictions 
under  this  Agreement  shall  be  valid  for  six months  from  the  date  of  their  issue  for 
imports  throughout  the  customs  territory  to  which  the  Treaty  establishing  the 
Community is applicable. 

The import authorisations for products subject to a double-checking system without 
quantitative  restrictions  shall  be  valid  for  six  months  from  the  date  of  issue  for 
imports  throughout  the  customs  territory  to  which  the  Treaty  establishing  the 
Community is applicable. 

The  competent  authorities  of  the  Community  shall  cancel  the  import  authorisation 
already issued whenever the corresponding export licence has been withdrawn. 

However,  if  the  competent  authorities  of  the  Community  are  notified  of  the 
withdrawal or the cancellation of the export licence only after the importation of the 
products  into  the  Community,  the  relevant  quantities  shall  be  set  off  against  the 
quantitative restrictions established for the category and the quota year concerned. 

Article 13 

If the competent authorities of the Community find that the total quantities covered 
by  export  licences  issued  by  the  Ministry  of  International  Economic  Relations  of 
Serbia  for  a  particular  category  in  any  year  exceed  the  quantitative  restriction  that 
may  be  established  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this  Agreement  for  that 
category, as may be modified by the relevant provisions of this Agreement, the said 
authorities may suspend the further issue of import authorisations. In this event, the 
competent  authorities  of  the  Community  shall  immediately  inform  the  Ministry  for 
International  Economic  Relations  of  Serbia  and  the  special  consultation  procedure 
set out in Article 8 of this Agreement shall be initiated forthwith.

competent Community authorities. 

However,  without  prejudice  to  Article  6  of  this  Agreement,  if  the  import  of  such 
products  is  allowed  into  the  Community  by  the  competent  authorities  of  the 
Community,  the  quantities  involved  shall  not  be  set  off  against  the  appropriate 
quantitative restrictions established pursuant to this Agreement, without the express 
agreement of the Ministry for International Economic Relations of Serbia.

TITLE V 

ADMINISTRATIVE COOPERATION 

Article 17 

The Community and Serbia shall co-operate closely in the implementation of the provisions 
of this Annex. To this end, contacts and exchanges of views, including on technical matters, 
shall be facilitated by both Parties. 

Article 18 

In  order  to  ensure  the  correct  application  of  this  Annex,  the  Community  and  Serbia  offer 
mutual assistance for the checking of the authenticity and the accuracy of export licences and 
certificates of origin issued or of any declarations made within the terms of this Annex. 

Article 19 

Serbia shall transmit to the Community the names and addresses of the authorities competent 
to issue and verify the export licences and the certificates of origin, together with specimens 
of  the  stamps  used  by  these  authorities  and  specimen  signatures  of  officials  responsible  for 
signing  the  export  licences  and  the  certificates  of  origin.  Serbia  shall  also  notify  the 
Community of any change in this information. 

Article 20 

1. 

2. 

Subsequent verification of certificates of origin or export licences shall be carried out 
at random, or whenever the competent Community authorities have reasonable doubt 
as  to  the  authenticity  of  the  certificate  or  licence  or  as  to  the  accuracy  of  the 
information regarding the true origin of the products in question. 

In such cases, the competent authorities in the Community shall return the certificate 
of  origin  or  the  export  licence  or  a  copy  thereof  to  the  Ministry  for  International 
Economic  Relations  of  Serbia  in  case  of  an  export  licence,  or  to  the  Customs 
Administration of Serbia, in case of a certificate of origin, giving, where appropriate, 

EN 

35 

   EN 

the  reasons  of  form  or  substance  which  justify  an  enquiry.  If  the  invoice  has  been 
submitted, such invoice or a copy thereof shall be attached to the certificate or to the 
licence  or  their  copies.  The  authorities  shall  also  forward  any  information  that  has 
been obtained suggesting that the particulars given on the said certificate or licence 
are inaccurate. 

The provisions of paragraph 1 above shall also apply to subsequent verifications of 
the declarations of origin provided for in Article 2 of this Annex. 

The results of the subsequent verifications carried out in accordance with paragraphs 
1 and 2 shall be communicated to the competent authorities of the Community within 
three months at the latest. The information communicated shall indicate whether the 
disputed certificate, licence or declaration applies to the goods actually exported and 
whether  these  goods  are  eligible  for  export  under  the  arrangements  established  by 
this Agreement. The information shall also include at the request of the Community, 
copies  of  all  the  documentation  necessary  to  fully  determine  the  facts,  and  in 
particular the true origin of the goods. 

Should such verifications reveal systematic irregularities in the use of declarations of 
origin,  the  Community  may  subject  imports  of  the  products  in  question  to  the 
provisions of Article 2(1) of this Annex. For the purpose of subsequent verification 
of  certificates  of  origin,  copies  of  the  certificates  as  well  as  any  export  documents 
referring to them shall be kept for at least two years by the issuing authority. 

Recourse  to  the  random  verification  procedure  specified  in  this  Article  must  not 
constitute an obstacle to the release into free circulation of the products in question. 

Article 21 

Where  the  verification  procedure  referred  to  in  Article  20  of  this  Annex  or  where 
information  available  to  the  competent  authorities  of  the  Community  or  of  Serbia 
indicates  or  appears  to  indicate  that  the  provisions  of  this  Agreement  are  being 
circumvented  or  infringed,  the  two  Parties  shall  co-operate  closely  and  with  the 
appropriate urgency in order to prevent any such circumvention or infringement. 

To this end, the Ministry for International Economic Relations of Serbia in case of an 
export  licence,  or  the  Customs  Administration  of  Serbia,  in  case  of  a  certificate  of 
origin,  shall,  on  their  own  initiative  or  at  the  request  of  the  Community,  carry  out 
appropriate  inquiries,  or  arrange  for  such  inquiries  to  be  carried  out,  concerning 
operations  which  are,  or  appear  to  the  Community  to  be,  in  circumvention  or 
infringement of this Annex. Serbia shall communicate the results of these inquiries to 
the Community, including any other pertinent information enabling the cause of the 
circumvention  or  infringement,  including  the  true  origin  of  the  goods  to  be 
determined. 

By  agreement  between  the  Community  and  Serbia,  officials  designated  by  the 
Community may be present at the inquiries referred to in paragraph 2. 

In pursuance of the cooperation referred to in paragraph 1, the competent authorities 
of  the  Community  and  Serbia  shall  exchange  any  information  considered  by  either 
Party to be of use in preventing circumvention or infringement of the provisions of 
this  Agreement.  These  exchanges  may  include  information  on  the  production  of

Agreement  between  Serbia  and  third  countries,  particularly  where  the  Community 
has  reasonable  grounds  to  consider  that  the  products  in  question  may  be  in  transit 
across  the  territory  of  Serbia  prior  to  their  importation  into  the  Community.  This 
information  may  include  at  the  request  of  the  Community  copies  of  all  available 
relevant documentation.
