EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

The  Community’s  Partnership  and  Cooperation  Agreement  (PCA)  with  the  Russian 
Federation provides that trade in certain steel products is governed by an Agreement between 
the Parties. 

A  new  Agreement  has  been  negotiated  and  sets  quantitative  limits  for  imports  into  the 
Community of certain steel products and will apply from the date of entry into force until 31 
December 2006 or until Russia’s accession to the WTO, whichever date is earlier. 

This proposal for a Council Regulation provides for the necessary implementing legislation.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 
133 thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

The Agreement on partnership and cooperation establishing a partnership between the 
European  Communities  and  their  Member  States,  of  the  one  part,  and  the  Russian 
Federation, of the other part1, hereinafter referred to as “the PCA”, entered into force 
on 1 December 1997. 

Article 21(1) of the PCA provides that trade in certain steel products shall be governed 
by  Title  III  of  that  Agreement,  with  the  exception  of  Article  15  thereof,  and  by  the 
provisions of an agreement on quantitative arrangements. 

On  [date],  the  European  Community  and  the  Russian  Federation  concluded  such  an 
Agreement  on  trade  in  certain  steel  products2,  hereinafter  referred  to  as  “the 
Agreement”. 

It is necessary to provide the means to administer the terms of the Agreement within 
the Community, taking into account the experience gained from previous Agreements 
concerning a similar regime. 

It  is  appropriate  to  classify  the  products  in  question  on  the  basis  of  the  combined 
nomenclature (CN) established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 
1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff3.  

It  is  necessary  to  ensure  that  the  origin  of  the  products  in  question  is  checked  and 
appropriate methods of administrative cooperation are set up to this end.

(9) 

The effective application of the Agreement requires the introduction of a requirement 
of a Community import licence for the entry into free circulation in the Community of 
the products in question together with a system for administering the granting of such 
Community import licences. 

Products placed in a free zone or imported under the arrangements governing customs 
warehouses, temporary importation or inward processing (suspension system) should 
not be counted against the limits established for the products in question. 

In  order  to  ensure  that  these  quantitative  limits  are  not  exceeded,  it  is  necessary  to 
establish a management procedure whereby the competent authorities of the Member 
States  will  not  issue  import  licences  before  obtaining  prior  confirmation  from  the 
Commission that appropriate amounts remain available within the quantitative limit in 
question. 

(10)  The Agreement provides for a system of cooperation between the Russian Federation 
and  the  Community  with  the  aim  of  preventing  circumvention  by  means  of 
transhipment,  rerouting  or  other  means.  A  consultation  procedure  should  be 
established under which an agreement can be reached with the country concerned on 
an  equivalent  adjustment  to  the  relevant  quantitative  limit  when  it  appears  that  the 
Agreement  has  been  circumvented.  The  Russian  Federation  has  agreed  to  take  the 
necessary  measures  to  ensure  that  any  adjustments  could  be  rapidly  applied.  In  the 
absence  of  agreement  within  the  time  limit  provided,  the  Community  should,  where 
there is clear evidence of circumvention, have the possibility to apply the equivalent 
adjustment. 

(11)  From  1  January  2005  imports  into  the  Community  of  products  covered  by  this 
Regulation  have  been  subjected  to  a  licence  pursuant  to  Council  Regulation  (EC) 
2267/2004  of  20  December  2004  on  trade  in  certain  steel  products  between  the 
European  Community  and  the  Russian  Federation4.  The  Agreement  provides  that 
those  imports  are  to  be  counted  against  the  limits  established  for  2005  in  this 
Regulation. 

(12)  For reasons of clarity it is therefore necessary to replace Regulation (EC) 2267/2004 

by this Regulation, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  

Chapter I 

General provisions 

Article 1 

1. 

This  Regulation  applies  to  imports  into  the  Community  of  steel  products  listed  in 
Annex I, originating in the Russian Federation.

The steel products shall be classified in product groups as set out in Annex I. 

The  origin  of  the  products  referred  to  in  paragraph  1  shall  be  determined  in 
accordance with the rules in force in the Community. 

The procedures for verification of the origin of the products referred to in paragraph 
1 are laid down in Chapters II and III. 

Article 2 

The importation into the Community of the products listed in Annex I originating in 
the Russian Federation shall be subject to the annual quantitative limits laid down in 
Annex V. The release for free circulation in the Community of the products listed in 
Annex I originating in the Russian Federation shall be subject to the presentation of a 
certificate of origin, set out in Annex II, and of an import authorization issued by the 
Member States' authorities in accordance with the provisions of Article 4. 

The authorized imports shall be counted against the quantitative limits laid down for 
the year in which the products are shipped in the exporting country. 

In  order  to  ensure  that  quantities  for  which  import  authorizations  are  issued  do  not 
exceed  at  any  moment  the  total  quantitative  limits  for  each  product  group,  the 
competent  authorities  of  the  Member  States  shall  issue  import  authorizations  only 
upon confirmation by the Commission that there are still quantities available within 
the quantitative limits for the relevant product group of steel products in respect of 
the supplier country, for which an importer or importers have submitted applications 
to those authorities. The competent authorities of the Member States for the purposes 
of this Regulation are listed in Annex IV. 

Imports  of  products  as  from  1  January  2005,  for  which  a  licence  was  required 
pursuant  to  Regulation  (EC)  2267/2004  shall  be  counted  against  the  relevant  limits 
for 2005 laid down in Annex V. 

For the purposes of this Regulation and as from the date of its application, shipment 
of products shall be considered as having taken place on the date on which they were 
loaded on to the exporting means of transport. 

Article 3 

The quantitative limits referred to in Annex V shall not apply to products placed in a 
free zone or free warehouse or imported under the arrangements governing customs 
warehouses, temporary importation or inward processing (suspension system). 

Where  the  products  referred  to  in  paragraph  1  are  subsequently  released  for  free 
circulation, either in the unaltered state or after working or processing, Article 2(2) 
shall  apply  and  the  products  so  released  shall  be  counted  against  the  relevant 
quantitative limit set out in Annex V.

Article 4 

For  the  purpose  of  applying  Article  2(2),  before  issuing  import  authorizations,  the 
competent  authorities  of  the  Member  States  shall  notify  the  Commission  of  the 
amounts  of  the  requests  for  import  authorizations,  supported  by  original  export 
licences,  which  they  have  received.  By  return,  the  Commission  shall  notify  its 
confirmation that the requested amount(s) of quantities are available for importation 
in the chronological order in which the notifications of the Member States have been 
received. 

The  requests  included  in  the  notifications  to  the  Commission  shall  be  valid  if  they 
establish clearly in each case the exporting country, the product group concerned, the 
amounts  to  be  imported,  the  number  of  the  export  licence,  the  quota  year  and  the 
Member State in which the products are intended to be put into free circulation. 

As  far  as  possible,  the  Commission  shall  confirm  to  the  authorities  of  the  Member 
States  the  full  amount  indicated  in  the  requests  notified  for  each  product  group  of 
products.  Moreover,  the  Commission  shall  contact  the  competent  authorities  of  the 
Russian Federation immediately in cases where requests notified exceed the limits in 
order to seek clarification and a rapid solution. 

The  competent  authorities  of  the  Member  States  shall  notify  the  Commission 
immediately after being informed of any quantity that is not used during the duration 
of validity of the import authorization. Such unused quantities shall automatically be 
transferred into the remaining quantities of the total Community quantitative limit for 
each product group. 

The  notifications  referred  to  in  paragraphs  1  to  4  shall  be  communicated 
electronically  within  the  integrated  network  set  up  for  this  purpose,  unless  for 
imperative  technical  reasons  it  is  necessary  to  use  other  means  of  communication 
temporarily. 

The  import  authorizations  or  equivalent  documents  shall  be  issued  in  accordance 
with Chapter II. 

The competent authorities of the Member States shall notify the Commission of any 
cancellation of import authorizations or equivalent documents already issued in cases 
where  the  corresponding  export  licences  have  been  withdrawn  or  cancelled  by  the 
competent authorities of the Russian Federation. However, if the Commission or the 
competent  authorities  of  a  Member  State  have  been  informed  by  the  competent 
authorities of the Russian Federation of the withdrawal or cancellation of an export 
licence  after  the  related  products  have  been  imported  into  the  Community,  the 
quantities  in  question  shall  be  counted  against  the  quantitative  limit  for  the  year 
during which shipment of products took place.

For  the  purposes  of  applying  Article  3(3)  and  3(4)  of  the  Agreement,  the  Commission  is 
hereby authorised to make the necessary adjustments. 

Article 5 

Article 6 

1.

3. 

Where, following the enquiries carried out in accordance with the procedures set out 
in  Chapter  III,  the  Commission  notes  that  the  information  in  its  possession 
constitutes proof that products listed in Annex I originating in the Russian Federation 
have been transhipped, rerouted or otherwise imported into the Community through 
circumvention  of  the  quantitative  limits  referred  to  in  Article  2  and  that  there  is  a 
need for the necessary adjustments to be made, it shall request that consultations be 
opened  so  that  agreement  may  be  reached  on  an  equivalent  adjustment  of  the 
corresponding quantitative limits. 

Pending the outcome of the consultations referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission 
may ask the Russian Federation concerned to take the necessary precautionary steps 
to  ensure  that  adjustments  to  the  quantitative  limits  agreed  following  such 
consultations may be carried out for the year in which the request for consultations 
was lodged or for the following year, if the quantitative limits for the current year are 
exhausted, where there is clear evidence of circumvention. 

If the Community and the Russian Federation fail to arrive at a satisfactory solution 
and  if  the  Commission  notes  that  there  is  clear  evidence  of  circumvention,  the 
Commission  shall  deduct  from  the  quantitative  limits  an  equivalent  volume  of 
products originating in the Russian Federation. 

This  Regulation  shall  not  constitute  in  any  way  a  derogation  from  the  provisions  of  the 
Agreement which, in all cases of conflict, shall prevail.

itself,  shall  in  addition  have  a  red  printed  guilloche-pattern  background  so  as  to 
reveal any falsification by mechanical or chemical means. 

Member States shall be responsible for having the forms printed. The forms may also 
be printed by printers appointed by the Member State in which they are established. 
In the latter case, reference to the appointment by the Member State must appear on 
each form. Each form shall bear the printer's name and address or a mark enabling 
the printer to be identified. 

At  the  time  of  their  issue  the  import  licences  or  extracts  shall  be  given  an  issue 
number  determined  by  the  competent  authorities  of  the  Member  State.  The  import 
licence  number  shall  be  notified  to  the  Commission  electronically  within  the 
integrated network set up under Article 4.

Licences  and  extracts  shall  be  completed  in  the  official  language,  or  one  of  the 
official languages, of the Member State of issue. 

In box 10 the competent authorities shall indicate the appropriate steel product group. 

The marks of the issuing agencies and debiting authorities shall be applied by means 
of a stamp. However, an embossing press combined with letters or figures obtained 
by means of perforation, or printing on the licence may be substituted for the issuing 
authority's  stamp.  The  issuing  authorities  shall  use  any  tamper-proof  method  to 
record the quantity allocated in such a way as to make it impossible to insert figures 
or references. 

The reverse of copy No 1 and copy No 2 shall bear a box in which quantities may be 
entered, either by the customs authorities when import formalities are completed, or 
by the competent administrative authorities when an extract is issued. If the space set 
aside  for  debits  on  a  licence  or  extract  thereof  is  insufficient,  the  competent 
authorities may attach one or more extension pages bearing boxes matching those on 
the  reverse  of  copy  No  1  and  copy  No  2  of  the  licence  or  extract.  The  debiting 
authorities shall place their stamp so that one half is on the licence or extract thereof 
and the other half is on the extension page. If there is more than one extension page, 
a  further  stamp  shall  be  placed  in  like  manner  across  each  page  and  the  preceding 
page. 

Import  licences  and  extracts  issued,  and  entries  and  endorsements  made,  by  the 
authorities of one Member State shall have the same legal effect in each of the other 
Member  States  as  documents  issued,  and  entries  and  endorsements  made,  by  the 
authorities of such Member States. 

The  competent  authorities  of 
the  Member  States  concerned  may,  where 
indispensable,  require  the  contents  of  licences  or  extracts  to  be  translated  into  the 
official language or one of the official languages of that Member State.  

Chapter III 

Administrative cooperation 

Article 29 

The Commission shall supply the Member States' authorities with the names and addresses of 
authorities  in  the  Russian  Federation  competent  to  issue  certificates  of  origin  and  export 
licences together with specimens of the stamps used by these authorities. 

Article 30 

1. 

Subsequent verification of certificates of origin or export licences shall be carried out 
at  random,  or  whenever  the  competent  authorities  of  the  Member  States  have 
reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the certificate of origin or export licence or 

EN 

15 

   EN 

 
as  to  the  accuracy  of  the  information  regarding  the  true  origin  of  the  products  in 
question. 

In such cases the competent authorities of the Community shall return the certificate 
of origin or the export licence or a copy thereof to the competent authorities of the 
Russian Federation, giving, where appropriate, the reasons of form or substance for 
an enquiry. If the invoice has been submitted, such invoice or a copy thereof shall be 
attached to the certificate of origin or export licence or copy thereof. The competent 
authorities shall also  forward any information that has been offered suggesting that 
the particulars given on the certificate of origin or the export licence are inaccurate. 

The  provisions  of  paragraph  1  shall  also  apply  to  subsequent  verifications  of 
declarations of origin. 

The results of the subsequent verifications carried out in accordance with paragraph 
1 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 the goods are eligible for export to the Community under this Chapter. The 
the  Community  may  also  request  copies  of  all 
competent  authorities  of 
documentation  necessary  to  determine  the  facts  fully,  including,  in  particular,  the 
origin of the goods. 

Should  such  verifications  reveal  abuse  or  major  irregularities  in  the  use  of 
declarations of origin, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission of 
this fact. The Commission shall pass the information on to the other Member States. 

Random  recourse  to  the  procedure  specified  in  this  Article  shall  not  constitute  an 
obstacle to the release for free circulation of the products in question. 

Article 31 

Where  the  verification  procedure  referred  to  in  Article  30  or  where  information 
available to the competent authorities of the Community indicates that the provisions 
of this Chapter are being contravened, the said authorities shall request the Russian 
Federation  to  carry  out  appropriate  enquiries  or  arrange  for  such  enquiries  to  be 
carried out concerning operations which are or appear to be in contravention of the 
provisions of this Chapter. The results of these enquiries shall be communicated to 
the  competent  authorities  of  the  Community  together  with  any  other  pertinent 
information enabling the true origin of the goods to be determined. 

In  pursuance of the action  taken in accordance with the provisions of this  Chapter, 
the competent authorities of the Community may exchange any information with the 
competent authorities of the Russian Federation which is considered to be of use in 
preventing the contravention of the provisions of this Chapter. 

Where it is established that the provisions of this Chapter have been contravened, the 
Commission may take such measures as are necessary to prevent recurrence of such 
contravention.
