Litauen deltager i alle aktiviteter under programmerne inden for forebyggelse af aids og andre smitsomme sygdomme, narkotikamisbrug samt lige muligheder for mænd og kvinder, i det følgende benævnt "programmerne", i overensstemmelse med målene, kriterierne, procedurerne og tidsplanerne i Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets afgørelse 647/96/EF af 29. marts 1996 om vedtagelse af et EF-handlingsprogram vedrørende forebyggelse af aids og visse andre smitsomme sygdomme som led i indsatsen inden for folkesundhed (1996-2000)(1), særlig artikel 6, stk. 2, Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets afgørelse 102/97/EF af 16. december 1996 om et EF-handlingsprogram vedrørende forebyggelse af narkotikamisbrug som led i indsatsen inden for folkesundhed (1996-2000)(2), særlig artikel 6, stk. 2, og Rådets afgørelse 95/593/EF af 22. december 1995 om Fællesskabets handlingsprogram på mellemlang sigt for lige muligheder for mænd og kvinder (1996-2000)(3), særlig artikel 6, stk. 1, medmindre andet er fastsat i afgørelsen.2. Vilkårene og betingelserne for indgivelse, vurdering og udvælgelse af ansøgninger fra støtteberettigede institutioner, organisationer og enkeltpersoner i Litauen skal så vidt muligt svare til dem, der gælder for Fællesskabets medlemsstater.3. For at sikre programmernes fællesskabsdimension skal tværnationale projekter og aktiviteter, der foreslås af Litauen, omfatte et mindsteantal partnere fra Fællesskabets medlemsstater. Dette mindsteantal fastlægges i forbindelse med programmernes gennemførelse, idet der


text: tages hensyn til arten af de forskellige aktiviteter, antallet af partnere i et bestemt projekt og antallet af lande, der deltager i programmerne.4. Litauen indbetaler hvert år et bidrag til De Europæiske Fællesskabers almindelige budget til dækning af omkostningerne ved landets deltagelse i programmerne (se bilag II). Associeringsudvalget kan om fornødent justere dette bidrag.5. Fællesskabets medlemsstater og Litauen vil inden for rammerne af de eksisterende bestemmelser gøre alt, hvad der står i deres magt, for at fremme den frie bevægelighed og opholdet for personer, der er berettigede i henhold til programmet, og som rejser mellem Litauen og Fællesskabets medlemsstater i forbindelse med deltagelse i aktiviteter, som er omfattet af afgørelsen.6. Uden at dette berører Kommissionen og Revisionsretten for De Europæiske Fællesskabers ansvar for overvågning og evaluering af programmerne i overensstemmelse med afgørelserne om programmerne inden for forebyggelse af aids og andre smitsomme sygdomme, narkotikamisbrug og lige muligheder for mænd og kvinder (henholdsvis artikel 7, 7 og 11), evalueres Litauens deltagelse i programmerne løbende på grundlag af et partnerskab mellem Litauen og Kommissionen for De Europæiske Fællesskaber. Litauen forelægger Kommissionen de fornødne rapporter og medvirker ved andre særlige aktiviteter, som Fællesskabet tager initiativ til i denne sammenhæng.7. Uden at det berører procedurerne i artikel 5 i afgørelsen om forebyggelse af aids og andre smitsomme sygdomme, artikel 5 i afgørelsen om narkotikamisbrug og artikel 9 i afgørelsen om lige muligheder for mænd og kvinder, indbydes Litauen til koordinationsmøder om alle spørgsmål vedrørende gennemførelsen af afgørelsen forud for de ordinære møder i programudvalgene. Kommissionen informerer Litauen om resultaterne af disse ordinære møder.8. Det sprog, der anvendes i forbindelse med ansøgningsprocessen, kontrakter, rapporter, der skal indgives, og andre administrative arrangementer i forbindelse med programmet, skal være et af Fællesskabets officielle sprog.(1) EFT L 95 af 16.4.1996, s. 16.(2) EFT L 19 af 22.1.1997, s. 25.(3) EFT L 335 af 30.12.1995, s. 37.BILAG IIREPUBLIKKEN LITAUENS FINANSIELLE BIDRAG TIL PROGRAMMERNE INDEN FOR FOREBYGGELSE AF AIDS OG ANDRE SMITSOMME SYGDOMME, NARKOTIKAMISBRUG SAMT LIGE MULIGHEDER FOR MÆND OG KVINDER1. Litauens finansielle bidrag omfatter:- finansiel støtte fra programmerne til litauiske deltagere- supplerende administrationsudgifter i tilknytning til Kommissionens styring af programmerne, der følger af Litauens deltagelse.2. For hvert regnskabsår må summen af tilskud og anden finansiel støtte, som litauiske støttemodtagere opnår fra programmerne, ikke overstige det bidrag, Litauen indbetaler, efter fradrag af de ekstra administrationsomkostninger.Hvis det bidrag, Litauen har betalt til De Europæiske Fællesskabers almindelige budget, efter fradrag af de ekstra administrationsomkostninger viser sig at være større end summen af tilskud og anden finansiel støtte, som litauiske støttemodtagere opnår fra programmerne, fremfører Kommissionen saldoen til det følgende regnskabsår og trækker beløbet fra det følgende års bidrag. Hvis der stadig består en sådan saldo, når programmerne slutter, vil det pågældende beløb blive udbetalt til Litauen.3. Forebyggelse af aids og andre smitsomme sygdommeLitauens årlige bidrag andrager fra 1998 21400 ECU. Af dette beløb dækker 1400 ECU de supplerende administrationsudgifter i forbindelse med Kommissionens forvaltning af programmet som følge af Litauens deltagelse.4. NarkotikamisbrugLitauens årlige bidrag andrager fra 1998 21400 ECU. Af dette beløb

Lige muligheder for mænd og kvinderLitauens årlige bidrag andrager fra 1998 25686 ECU. Af dette beløb dækker 1680 ECU de supplerende administrationsudgifter i forbindelse med Kommissionens forvaltning af programmet som følge af Litauens deltagelse.6. Finansforordningen vedrørende De Europæiske Fællesskabers almindelige budget finder anvendelse på forvaltningen af bidraget fra Litauen.Ved afgørelsens ikrafttræden og i begyndelsen af hvert år sender Kommissionen Litauen en indkaldelse af midler svarende til landets bidrag til dækning af udgifterne i henhold til afgørelsen.Dette bidrag udtrykkes i ecu og skal indbetales til en af Kommissionens ecu-bankkonti.Litauen indbetaler senest tre måneder efter, at indkaldelsen af midler er afsendt, sit bidrag til dækning af de årlige udgifter i henhold til afgørelsen i overensstemmelse med indkaldelsen af midler. Enhver forsinkelse ved betalingen af bidraget vil medføre, at Litauen skal betale renter af det udestående beløb fra forfaldsdagen. Rentesatsen svarer til den sats, Den Europæiske Fond for Monetært Samarbejde anvender på sine transaktioner i ecu i den måned, hvor forfaldsdatoen ligger, forhøjet med 1,5 procentpoint.7. Litauen betaler de supplerende administrationsudgifter, der er omtalt under punkt 3, 4 og 5, via sit nationale budget.8. Litauen betaler 10 % (1998), 30 % (1999) og 50 % (2000) af de resterende omkostninger ved landets deltagelse via sit nationale budget.De resterende 90 % (1998), 70 % (1999) og 50 % (2000) betales via Litauens årlige Phare-tildeling, jf. dog Phare's ordinære programmeringsprocedurer.

In administering the quantitative limits established under this Agreement, Moldova shall ensure that the Community textile industry shall benefit from utilization of the said limits.More particularly, Moldova undertakes upon request from the Community to reserve to the Community textile industry, as a priority, at least 50 % of the quantitative limits concerned during a period extending between 1 January to 31 May of each year. For this purpose, contracts made with the industry during the period in question shall be taken into consideration.6. To facilitate the implementation of these provisions the Community shall provide the competent Moldovan authorities, before the end of each year, with a list of interested Community manufacturers and processors and, if possible, of the quantity of products requested for each firm. To this end, the firms concerned are invited to make direct contact with the relevant Moldovan enterprises as early as possible during the reservation period mentioned in this paragraph, in order to make their purchasing intentions known.Article 31. Imports into the Community of textile products covered by this Agreement shall not be subject to the quantitative limits 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 for home use of products imported into the Community under the conditions referred to above shall be subject to the production of an export licence issued by the authorities of Moldova, and to proof of origin in accordance with the provisions of Protocol A.2. Where the Community authorities ascertain that imports of textile products have been set off against a quantitative limit established under this Agreement, but that the products have subsequently been re-exported outside the Community, the authorities shall inform the Moldovan authorities within four weeks of the quantities involved and authorize imports of identical quantitative limit established under this Agreement for the current or the following year, as appropriate.3. The Community and Moldova recognize the special and differential character of re-imports of textile products into the Community after processing in Moldova as a specific form of industrial and trade cooperation.Should quantitative limits be established under Article 5, provided that they are effected in accordance with the regulations on economic outward processing in force in the Community, these re-imports shall not be subject to these quantitative limits if they are subject to the specific arrangements laid down in Protocol C.Article 4Should quantitative limits be introduced under Article 5, the following provisions shall apply:1. In any Agreement year advance use of a portion of the quantitative limit established for the following Agreement year is authorized for each category of products up to 5 % of the quantitative limit for the current Agreement year.Amounts delivered in advance shall be deducted from the corresponding quantitative limits established for the following Agreement year.2. Carry-over to the corresponding quantitative limit for the following

Transfers in respect of categories in Group I shall not be made from any category except as follows:- transfers between categories 2 and 3 and from category 1 to categories 2 and 3 may be made up to 4 % of the quantitative limits for the category to which the transfer is made,- transfers between categories 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 may be made up to 4 % of the quantitative limit for the category to which the transfer is made.Transfers into any category in Groups II, III, IV and V may be made from any category or categories in Groups I, II, III, IV and V up to 5 % of the quantitative limit for the category to which the transfer is made.4. The table of equivalence applicable to the transfers referred to above is given in Annex I to this Agreement.5. The increase in any category of products resulting from the cumulative application of the provisions in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above during an Agreement year shall not exceed the following limits:- 13 % for categories of products in Group I,- 13,5 % for categories of products in Groups II, III, IV and V.6. Prior notification shall be given by the Moldovan authorities in the event of recourse to the provisions of paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above, at least 15 days in advance.Article 51. Exports of textile products listed in Annex I to this Agreement may be made subject to quantitative limits on the conditions laid down in the following paragraphs.2. Where the Community finds, under the system of administrative control set up, that the level of imports of products in a given category listed in Annex I originating in Moldova exceeds, in relation to the preceding year's total imports into the Community from all sources of products in that category, the following rates:- 0,35 % for categories of products in Group I,- 1,2 % for categories of products in Group II,- 4 % for categories of products in Groups III, IV and V,it may request the opening of consultations in accordance with the procedure described in Article 15 of this Agreement, with a view to reaching agreement on an appropriate restraint level for the products in such category.3. Pending a mutually satisfactory solution, Moldova undertakes, from the date of notification of the request for consultations, to suspend or limit at the level indicated by the Community exports of the category of products in question to the Community or to the region or regions of the Community market specified by the Community.The Community shall authorize the importation of products of the said category shipped from Moldova before the date on which the request for consultations was submitted.4. Should the Contracting Parties be unable in the course of consultations to reach a satisfactory solution within


text: the period specified in Article 15 (2), the Community shall have the right to introduce a definitive quantitative limit at an annual level not lower than the level resulting from the application of the formula set out in paragraph 2, or 106 % of the level of imports reached during the calendar year preceding that in which imports exceeded the level resulting from the application of the formula set out in paragraph 2 and gave rise to the request for consultations, whichever is the higher.The annual level so fixed shall be revised upwards after consultations in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 15, with a view to fulfilling the conditions set out in paragraph 2, should the trend of total imports into the Community of the product in question make this necessary.5. The annual growth rate for the quantitative limits introduced under this Article shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Protocol D.6. The provisions of this Article shall not apply where the percentages specified in paragraph 2 have been reached as a result of a fall in total imports into the Community, and not as a result of an increase in exports of products originating in Moldova.7. In the event of the provisions of paragraph 2, 3 or 4 being applied, Moldova undertakes to issue export licences for products covered by contracts concluded before the introduction of the quantitative limit, up to the volume of the quantitative limit fixed.8. Up to the date of communication of the statistics referred to in Article 12 (6), the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article shall apply on the basis of the annual statistics previously communicated by the Community.Article 61. In view of ensuring the effective functioning of this Agreement, the Community and Moldova 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 the country or place of origin, falsification of documents, false declaration concerning fibre content, quantities description or classification of merchandise any by whatever other means. Accordingly, Moldova 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 the Community believe on the basis of information available that the present Agreement is being circumvented, the Community will consult with Moldova 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 consultation referred to in paragraph 2, Moldova shall, as a precautionary measure, if so requested by the Community, take all necessary measures to ensure that, where sufficient evidence of circumvention is provided, adjustments of quantitative limits established under Article 5 liable to be agreed following the consultations referred to in paragraph 2 may be carried


text: 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 Community shall have the right:(a) where there is sufficient evidence that products originating in Moldova have been imported in circumvention of the present Agreement, to set off the relevant quantities against the quantitative limits established under Article 5;(b) where sufficient evidence shows that false declaration concerning fibre content, quantities, description or classification of products originating in Moldova has occured, to refuse to import the products in question;(c) should it appear that the territory of Moldova is involved in transhipment or re-routing of products not originating in Moldova, to introduce quantitative limits against the same products originating in Moldova if they are not already subject to quantitative limits, or to take any other appropriate measures.5. 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 Protocol A to this Agreement.Article 71. The quantitative limits established under this Agreement on imports into the Community of textile products of Moldovan origin will not be broken down by the Community into regional shares.2. The Parties shall cooperate in order to prevent sudden and prejudicial changes in traditional trade flows resulting in regional concentration of direct imports into the Community.3. Moldova 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. Moldova 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 8In the event of denunciation of this Agreement as provided for in Article 20 (3), the quantitative limits established pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced on a pro rata temporis basis unless the Contracting Parties decide otherwise by common agreement.Article 9Moldova exports 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 quantitative limits, provided that these products originating in Moldova meet the conditions laid down in Protocol B.Article 101. Should the Community consider that a textile product covered by this Agreement is being imported into the Community from Moldova at a price abnormally lower than the normal competitive level and is for this reason causing or threatening to cause serious injury to Community producers of like or directly competing products, it may request consultations under


text: Article 15, and in that event the following specific provisions shall be applicable.2. If following such consultations it is acknowledged by common accord that the situation described in paragraph 1 exists, Moldova shall take, within the limits of its powers, the necessary steps, notably as regards the price at which the product in question will be sold, to remedy the situation.3. In order to determine whether the price of a textile product is abnormally lower than the normal competitive level, it may be compared with:- the prices generally charged for like products sold under the ordinary conditions by other exporting countries on the market of the importing country,- the prices of like national products at a comparable marketing stage on the market of the importing country,- the lowest prices charged by a third country for the same product in the course of ordinary commercial dealings in the three months preceding the request for consultations, and not having led to the adoption of any measure by the Community.4. Should the consultations referred to in paragraph 2 above fail to lead to an agreement within 30 days of the Community's request for consultations, the Community may, until these consultations have produced a mutually satisfactory solution, temporarily refuse consignments of the product in question at prices under the conditions referred to in paragraph 1 above.5. In totally exceptional and critical circumstances, where consignments of products are being imported from Moldova into the Community at prices abnormally lower than the normal competitive level, such as to cause injury which it would be difficult to repair, the Community may temporarily suspend imports of the products concerned pending agreement on a solution in the course of consultations, which shall be opened immediately. The Contracting Parties shall do their utmost to reach a mutually acceptable solution within 10 working days' notice of the opening of such consultations.6. Should the Community have recourse to the measures referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 above, Moldova may at any time request the opening of consultations to examine the possibility of eliminating or modifying these measures where the causes which made them necessary no longer exist.Article 111. The classification of the products covered by this Agreement is based on the tariff and statistical nomenclature of the Community (herinafter called the 'combined nomenclature', or in abbreviated for '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 (CN) 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 limits introduced pursuant to this Agreement.2. The origin of the products covered by this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the rules in


text: force in the Community.Any amendement to these rules of origin shall be communicated to Moldova and shall not have the effect of reducing any quantitative limit established pursuant to this Agreement.The procedures for control of the origin of the products referred to above are laid down in Protocol A.Article 121. Moldova shall supply the Commission with precise statistical information on all export licences issued for categories of textile products subject to the quantitative limits 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 competent Moldovan authorities for products referred to in Article 9 and subject to the provisions of Protocol B.2.

Where a need for additional supplies arises and in particular a need leading to the diversification on imports of textile products in Moldova, Moldova shall accord non-discriminatory treatment to imports of textile products originating in the Community.Article 141. The Contracting Parties agree to examine the trend of trade in textile products and garments each year, in the framework of the consultations provided for in Article 15 and on the basis of the statistics referred to in Article 12.2.
