In view of ensuring the effective functioning of this Protocol between Bulgaria and the Community, the Parties agree to cooperate 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 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, Bulgaria 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. Should either Party believe on the basis of information available that the present Protocol is being circumvented, that Party will consult with the other Party with a view to reaching a mutually satisfactory solution. These consultations will be held as early as possible and at the latest within 30 days from the date of request.3. Pending the results of the consultations referred to in paragraph 2, either Party shall, as a precautionary measure, if so requested by the other Party, take all necessary measures to ensure that, where sufficient evidence of circumvention is provided, adjustments of quantitative limits liable to be agreed following the consultations referred to in paragraph 2, may be carried out for the quota year in which the request to open consultations in accordance with paragraph 2 was made, or for the following year if the quota for the current year is exhausted.4. Should the Parties be unable, in the course of the consultation referred to in paragraph 2, to reach a mutually satisfactory solution, the initiating Party shall have the right:(a) where there is sufficient evidence that products originating in the other Party have been imported in circumvention of the present Protocol, to set off the relevant quantities against the quantitative limits established under the Protocol;(b) where sufficient evidence shows that false declaration concerning fibre content, quantities, description or classification of products originating in the other Party has occurred, to refuse to import the products in question;(c) should it appear that the territory of the other Party is involved in transhipment or re-routing of products not originating in that Party, to introduce quantitative limits against the same products originating in the other Party if they are not already subject to quantitative limits, or to take any other appropriate measures.5. Without prejudice to Protocol 6 on mutual assistance in customs matters to the Europe Agreement, the Parties agree to establish a system of administrative cooperation to prevent and to address effectively all problems arising from circumvention in accordance with the provisions of Appendix A to this Protocol.Article 121. The quantitative limits established under this Protocol on imports into the Community of textile products of Bulgarian origin will not be broken down by the Community into regional shares.2. The Parties shall cooperate in order to prevent

Bulgaria 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.4. Bulgaria shall endeavour to ensure that exports of textile products subject to quantitative limits into the Community are spaced out as evenly as possible over the year due account being taken in particular of seasonal factors.Article 131. The Parties shall refrain from discrimination in the allocation of the export licences and import authorizations or documents referred to in Appendices A and C.2. Should either Party find that the application of this Protocol or the commercial practices of either Party are disturbing existing commercial relations between the Community and Bulgaria consultations shall be started promptly, in accordance with the procedure specified in Article 14 with a view to remedying this situation.Article 141. Save where it is otherwise provided, the special consultation procedures referred to in this Protocol shall be governed by the following rules:- any request for consultations shall be notified in writing to the other Party,- the request for consultation shall be followed within 15 days of the notification by a statement setting out the reasons and circumstances which, in the opinion of the requesting Party, justify the submission of such a request,- the Parties shall enter into consultations within one month of notification of the request at the latest, with a view to reaching agreement or a mutually acceptable conclusion within one further month at the latest.2. If necessary, at the request of either of the Parties, consultations shall be held on any problems arising from the application of this Protocol. Any consultations held under this Article shall take place in a spirit of cooperation and with a desire to reconcile the differences between the Parties.Article 151. This Protocol shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the date on which the Parties notify each other of the completion of the procedures necessary for that purpose. This Protocol shall apply with effect from the date of entry into force of the Interim Agreement between the European Economic Community and Bulgaria signed on 8 March 1993. It shall expire at the end of the period referred to in Agreed Minute No 5.2. Either Party may at any time propose consultations in accordance with Article 14, with a view to agreeing amendments to this Protocol.3. Either Party may, at any time, denounce this Protocol by notifying the other Party.

The competent authorities of the Community undertake to inform Bulgaria of any changes in the combined nomenclature (CN) before the date of their entry into force in the Community.2. The competent authorities of the Community shall inform the competent authorities of Bulgaria of any decisions relating to the classification of products subject to the present Protocol, within one month of their adoption at the latest. Such communication shall include:(a) a description of the products concerned;(b) the relevant category, related CN codes;(c) the reasons which have led to the decision.3. Where a classification decision results in a change of classification practice or a change in category of any product subject to the present Protocol, the affected products shall follow the trade regime applicable to the practice or category they fall into after such change, as provided for in this Protocol. Any such decision shall enter into force 30


text: days after it has been notified to the other Party.The Contracting Parties agree to enter into consultation in accordance with the procedures described in Article 14 of the Protocol with a view to honouring the obligation under Article 2 (2) of the Protocol.Products shipped before the date of the application of the decision shall remain subject to the earlier classification practice, provided that the goods in question are presented for importation within 60 days of that date.4. In case of divergent opinions between Bulgaria and the competent Community authorities at the point of entry into the Community on the classification of products covered by the present Protocol, classification shall provisionally be based on indications provided by the importing Party, pending consultations in accordance with Article 14 with a view to reaching agreement on the classification concerned. In case no agreement can be reached, the classification of the goods is to be submitted to the Nomenclature Committee for a definitive classification in the combined nomenclature.TITLE IIORIGINArticle 21. Products originating in Bulgaria for export to the Community in accordance with the arrangements established by this Protocol shall be accompanied by a certificate of Bulgarian origin conforming to the model annexed to this Protocol.2. However, products in Group III can be imported into the Community under the regime established by this Protocol on the presentation of a declaration of the exporter on the invoice or another commercial document, attesting that the products in question originate in Bulgaria in accordance with the relevant provisions in force in the Community.3. The certificate of origin referred to in paragraph 1 above is not required for the importation of goods covered by a movement certificate EUR 1 or a form EUR 2 issued in conformity with Protocol 4 of the Europe Agreement.Article 3The certificate of origin is issued to the exporter only on receipt of a written request from either him or his representative. The competent authorities of Bulgaria are obliged to ensure that the certificates of origin are correctly filled out; to this end they shall call for any necessary document, any evidence or carry out any check which they consider appropriate.Article 4Where 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 so as to enable the criterion to be determined, on the basis of which the certificate was issued or the declaration drawn up.Article 5The discovery of slight discrepancies between details on the certificate of origin and those on the documents produced at the customs office when going through the import formalities for the goods, does not, ipso facto, cast doubt upon the statements in the certificate.TITLE IIIDOUBLE-CHECKING SYSTEM FOR THE CATEGORIES OF PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO COMMUNITY QUANTITATIVE LIMITSSection IExportationArticle 6The competent authorities of Bulgaria shall issue an export licence in respect of all consignments from Bulgaria of textile products referred to in Annex II, up to the relevant quantitative limits as may be


text: modified under the provisions of this Protocol and of textile products subject to any quantitative limits or surveillance system established as a result of the application of Articles 7 and 8 of the Protocol.Article 71. The export licence shall conform to the model annexed to this Appendix and it shall be valid for exports throughout the customs territory to which the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community is applied. However, where the Community has made recourse to the provisions of Articles 7 and 8 in accordance with the provision of the Agreed Minute No 1, or to the Agreed Minute No 2, the textile products covered by the export lincences can only be put into free circulation in the region(s) of the Community indicated in those licences.2. Each export licence must certify, inter alia, that the quantity of product in question has been set off against the quantitative limit established for the category of the product concerned and shall only cover one of the categories of products listed in Annex II to the Protocol. It is to be used for one or more consignments of the products in question.3. Where the conversion rate provided for in Annex II is applied, the following note must be inserted in box 9 of the export licence: "Conversion rate for garments of a commercial size not exceeding 130 cm is to be applied".Article 8The competent authorities of the Community must be informed immediately of the withdrawal or modification of any export licence already delivered.Article 91. Exports shall be set off against the quantitative limits established for the year in which the shipment of the goods has been effected even if the export licence is issued in accordance with this Protocol after such shipment.2. For the purpose of applying paragraph 1, shipment of the goods is considered to have taken place on the date of their loading onto the exporting aircraft, vehicle or vessel.Article 10The presentation of an export licence, in application of Article 12 hereafter, shall be effected not later than 31 March of the year following that in which the goods covered by the licence were shipped.Section IIImportationArticle 11Importation into the Community of textile products subject to quantitative limits shall be subject to the presentation of an import authorization or document.Article 121.

However, where the Community has recourse to the provisions of Articles 7 and 8 in accordance with the provisions of the Agreed Minute No 1, or to the Agreed Minute No 2, the products covered by the import licences can only be put into free circulation in the


text: region(s) of the Community indicated in those licences.3. The competent authorities of the Community shall cancel the authorization or import document 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 limits established for the category and the quota year concerned.Article 131. If the competent authorities of the Community find that the total quantities covered by export licences issued by Bulgaria for a particular category in any year exceed the quantitative limit established for that category established in Annex II for that category as may be modified in accordance with the provisions of this Protocol, or any quantitative limit established in accordance with Article 8 of this Protocol, the said authorities may suspend the further issue of import authorizations or documents. In this event, the competent authorities of the Community shall immediately inform the authorities of Bulgaria and the special consultation procedure set out in Article 14 of this Protocol shall be initiated forthwith.2. Exports of products of Bulgarian origin subject to quantitative limits or a surveillance system not covered by Bulgarian export licences issued in accordance with the provisions of this Appendix may be refused an import authorization or document by the competent Community authorities.However, 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 limits established in Annex II, or established by virtue of Article 8 of the Protocol, without the express agreement of the competent authorities of Bulgaria, save as provided for in Article 11 of the Protocol.TITLE IVFORM AND PRODUCTION OF EXPORT CERTIFICATES AND CERTIFICATES OF ORIGIN, AND COMMON PROVISIONS CONCERNING EXPORTS TO THE COMMUNITYArticle 141.

In such cases they must bear the endorsement "délivréa posteriori" or the endorsement "issued retrospectively".Article 161. In the event of a theft, loss or destruction of an export licence or a certificate of origin, the exporter may apply to the competent governmental authority which issued the document for a duplicate to be made out on the basis of the export documents in his possession. The duplicate of any such certificate or licence so issued shall bear the endorsement "duplicata" or "duplicate".2. The duplicate shall bear the date of the original export licence or certificate of origin.TITLE VPROVISIONS CONCERNING COMMUNITY EXPORTS TO BULGARIAArticle 17Should it be necessary, either Party may request consultations in accordance with Article 14 of the Protocol, in order to establish specific administrative provisions concerning Community exports to Bulgaria.Such provisions shall afford the same or equivalent degree of protection to Community exporters as is provided for Bulgarian exporters under this Protocol.TITLE VIADMINISTRATIVE COOPERATIONArticle 18The Community and Bulgaria shall cooperate fully in the implementation of the provisions of this Protocol. To this end, contacts and exchanges of views, including on technical matters, shall be facilitated by both Parties.Article 19In order to ensure the correct application of this Appendix, the Community and Bulgaria offer mutual assistance for the checking of the authenticity and the veracity of export licences and certificates of origin issued or of any declarations made within the terms of this Appendix.Article 20Bulgaria shall transmit to the Commission of the European Communities 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.Article 211. 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.2. 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 competent Bulgarian authority, giving, where appropriate, 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


text: also forward any information that has been obtained suggesting that the particulars given on the said certificate or licence are inaccurate.3. The provisions of paragraph 1 above shall also apply to subsequent verifications of the declarations of origin provided for in Article 2 of this Appendix.4. The results of the subsequent verifications carried out in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 above 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 Protocol. 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 Appendix.5. 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 three years by the competent Bulgarian authorities.6. Recourse to the random verification procedure specified in this Article must not constitute an obstacle to the release for home use of the products in question.Article 221. Where the verification procedure referred to in Article 21 or where information available to the competent authorities of the Community or of Bulgaria indicates or appears to indicate that the provisions of this Protocol are being circumvented or infringed, the two Parties shall cooperate closely and with the appropriate urgency in order to prevent any such circumvention or infringement.2. To this end, the competent authorities of Bulgaria 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 Protocol. Bulgaria 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.3. By agreement between the Community and Bulgaria, officials designated by the Community may be present at the inquiries referred to in paragraph 2 above.4. Pursuant to the cooperation referred to in paragraph 1 above, the competent authorities of the Community and Bulgaria shall exchange any information considered by either Party to be of use in preventing circumvention or infringement of the provisions of this Protocol. These exchanges may include information on the production of textile products in Bulgaria and on the trade in the type of products covered by this Protocol between Bulgaria 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 Bulgaria prior


text: to their importation into the Community. This information may include at the request of the Community copies of all available relevant documentation.5. Where sufficient evidence shows that the provisions of this Protocol have been circumvented or infringed, the competent authorities of Bulgaria and the Community may agree to take the measures set out in Article 11 (4) of the Protocol, and any other measures as are necessary to prevent a recurrence of such circumvention or infringement.Annex referred to in Article 2 (1) of Appendix A+++++ TIFF +++++Annex referred to in Article 7 (1) of Appendix A+++++ TIFF +++++--------------------------------------------------APPENDIX BOUTWARD PROCESSING TRAFFICReimports into the Community, within the meaning of Article 4 (2) of this Protocol, of products listed in the Annex to this Appendix shall be subject to the provisions of this Protocol, unless the special provisions below provide otherwise:1.

A specific quantitative limit shall be debited for the year in which a prior authorization is issued.7. Transfers from one category to another and combined debits from the quantitative limit for products of Groups II and III will be calculated in accordance with the table of equivalence in Annex I to the Agreement.8. A certificate of origin made out by


text: the organizations authorized to do so under Bulgarian law shall be issued, in accordance with Appendix A to the Protocol, for all products covered by this Appendix.
