 PROTOKOL TIL AFTALEN
 mellem Det Europæiske Fællesskab og Kongeriget Danmark om fastsættelse af kriterier og procedurer til afgørelse af, hvilken medlemsstat der er ansvarlig for behandlingen af en asylansøgning, der er indgivet i Danmark eller en anden EU-medlemsstat, og om Eurodac til sammenligning af fingeraftryk med henblik på en effektiv anvendelse af Dublin-konventionen vedrørende adgang til Eurodac med henblik på retshåndhævelse
 DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION, i det følgende benævnt »Unionen«,
 og
 KONGERIGET DANMARK, i det følgende benævnt »Danmark«,
 i det følgende under ét benævnt »parterne«,
 SOM TAGER I BETRAGTNING, at aftalen mellem Det Europæiske Fællesskab og Kongeriget Danmark om fastsættelse af kriterier og procedurer til afgørelse af, hvilken medlemsstat der er ansvarlig for behandlingen af en asylansøgning, der er indgivet i Danmark eller en anden EU-medlemsstat, og om Eurodac til sammenligning af fingeraftryk med henblik på en effektiv anvendelse af Dublin-konventionen (1) (»aftalen af 10. marts 2005«) blev undertegnet den 10. marts 2005.
 SOM MINDER OM, at Unionen den 26. juni 2013 vedtog Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EU) nr. 603/2013 (2).
 SOM HENVISER til protokol nr. 22 om Danmarks stilling, der er knyttet som bilag til traktaten om Den Europæiske Union og til traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions funktionsmåde (TEUF), i medfør af hvilken Danmark ikke deltager i vedtagelsen af forordning (EU) nr. 603/2013, som ikke er bindende for og ikke finder anvendelse i Danmark.
 SOM MINDER OM, at procedurerne for sammenligning og videregivelse af oplysninger med henblik på retshåndhævelse, som fastsat i forordning (EU) nr. 603/2013, ikke udgør en ændring af gældende EU-ret vedrørende Eurodac som omhandlet i aftalen af 10. marts 2005 og derfor falder uden for anvendelsesområdet for aftalen af 10. marts 2005.
 SOM TAGER I BETRAGTNING, at der bør indgås en protokol mellem Unionen og Danmark for at gøre det muligt for Danmark at deltage i retshåndhævelsesaspekterne af Eurodac og således gøre det muligt for udpegede retshåndhævende myndigheder i Danmark at anmode om sammenligning af fingeraftryksoplysninger, som de andre deltagende stater har videregivet til det centrale Eurodac-system.
 SOM TAGER I BETRAGTNING, at anvendelsen af forordning (EU) nr. 603/2013 med henblik på retshåndhævelse på Danmark også bør gøre det muligt for udpegede retshåndhævende myndigheder i de andre deltagende stater og Europol at anmode om sammenligning af fingeraftryksoplysninger, som Danmark har videregivet til det centrale Eurodac-system.
 SOM TAGER I BETRAGTNING, at de deltagende staters udpegede retshåndhævende myndigheders behandling af personoplysninger med henblik på forebyggelse, afsløring eller efterforskning af terrorhandlinger eller andre alvorlige strafbare handlinger i medfør af denne protokol bør være omfattet af en standard for beskyttelse af personoplysninger i henhold til deres nationale ret, som er i overensstemmelse med Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv (EU) 2016/680 (3).
 SOM TAGER I BETRAGTNING, at direktiv (EU) 2016/680 udgør en udvikling af bestemmelserne i Schengenreglerne, jf. tredje del, afsnit V, i TEUF, og at Danmark den 26. oktober 2016 i overensstemmelse med artikel 4 i protokol nr. 22 om Danmarks stilling har meddelt Kommissionen, at det vil gennemføre nævnte direktiv i sin nationale

ret. Danmark bør derfor anvende nævnte direktiv og de yderlige betingelser, der er fastsat i forordning (EU) nr. 603/2013, for så vidt angår Danmarks udpegede myndigheders behandling af personoplysninger med henblik på forebyggelse, afsløring eller efterforskning af terrorhandlinger eller andre alvorlige strafbare handlinger.
 SOM TAGER I BETRAGTNING, at de yderligere betingelser, der er fastsat i forordning (EU) nr. 603/2013, for så vidt angår de deltagende staters udpegede myndigheders og Europols behandling af personoplysninger med henblik på forebyggelse, afsløring eller efterforskning af terrorhandlinger eller andre alvorlige lovovertrædelser, også bør finde anvendelse.
 SOM TAGER I BETRAGTNING, at der kun bør gives Danmarks udpegede myndigheder adgang på betingelse af, at sammenligninger med den anmodende stats nationale fingeraftryksdatabaser og med alle andre deltagende staters automatiske fingeraftryksidentifikationssystemer, jf. Rådets afgørelse 2008/615/RIA (4), ikke har ført til fastslåelse af den registreredes identitet. Den betingelse forudsætter, at den anmodende stat foretager sammenligninger med alle øvrige medlemsstaters automatiske fingeraftryksidentifikationssystemer, jf. nævnte afgørelse, som er teknisk tilgængelige, medmindre den anmodende stat kan godtgøre, at der er rimelige grunde til at antage, at det ikke vil føre til identifikation af den registrerede. Der foreligger navnlig sådanne rimelige grunde, når den konkrete sag ikke har nogen operationel eller efterforskningsmæssig forbindelse til en given deltagende stat. Den betingelse forudsætter, at den anmodende medlemsstat retligt og teknisk forudgående har gennemført nævnte afgørelse, for så vidt angår fingeraftryksoplysninger, da det ikke bør være tilladt at foretage en Eurodac-kontrol med henblik på retshåndhævelse, hvis de ovennævnte foranstaltninger ikke først er truffet.
 SOM TAGER I BETRAGTNING, at Danmarks udpegede myndigheder forud for søgningen i Eurodac også, hvis betingelserne for en sammenligning er opfyldt, bør konsultere visuminformationssystemet, jf. Rådets afgørelse 2008/633/RIA (5).
 SOM TAGER I BETRAGTNING, at procedurerne vedrørende ændringer, der er indeholdt i aftalen af 10. marts 2005, bør finde anvendelse på alle ændringer vedrørende adgangen til Eurodac med henblik på retshåndhævelse.
 SOM TAGER I BETRAGTNING, at denne protokol er en del af aftalen af 10. marts 2005,

The parties recognize and confirm that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and without prejudice to their rights and obligations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the conduct of their mutual trade in textile products shall be governed by the provisions of the Geneva Arrangement. 2. In respect of the products covered by this Agreement, the Community undertakes not to introduce quantitative restrictions under Article XIX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade or Article 3 of the Geneva Arrangement. 3. Measures having equivalent effect to quantitative restrictions on the importation into the Community of the products covered by this Agreement shall be prohibited. Article 2 1. This Agreement shall apply to trade in textile products of cotton, wool and man-made fibres originating in Macao which are listed in Annex I. 2. The classification of the products covered by this Agreement is based on the Nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff and on the Nomenclature of Goods for the External Trade Statistics of the Community and the Statistics of Trade between Member States (NIMEXE). From the entry into force of the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) this classification will be based on the harmonized system and on the Community nomenclatures derived from that system. 3. The origin of the products covered by this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the rules in force in the Community. Any amendment to these rules of origin shall be communicated


text: to Macao and shall not have the effect of reducing any quantitative limit established in Annex II. The procedures for control of the origin of the products referred to above are laid down in Protocol A. Article 3 Macao agrees for each Agreement year to restrain its exports to the Community of the products described in Annex II to the limits set out therein. Exports of textile products set out in Annex II shall be subject to a double-checking system specified in Protocol A. Article 4 Macao and the Community recognize the special and differential character of re-imports of textile products into the Community after processing in Macao. Provided that they are effected in accordance with the regulations on economic outward processing in force in the Community, these re-imports are not subject to the quantitative limits set out in Annex II when they are subject to the specific arrangements laid down in Protocol E. Article 5 Exports of cottage industry fabrics woven on hand- or foot-operated looms, garments or other articles obtained manually from such fabrics and traditional folklore handicraft products shall not be subject to quantitative limits, provided that these products meet the conditions laid down in Protocol B. Article 6 1. Imports into the Community of textile products covered by this Agreement shall not be subject to the quantitative limits established in Annex II, 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 under the conditions referred to above shall be subject to the production of an export licence issued by the Macao authorities, and to proof of origin in accordance with the provisions of Protocol A. 2. Where the Community authorities have evidence 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 concerned shall inform the Macao authorities within four weeks of the quantities involved and authorize imports of identical quantities of the same products, which shall not be set off against the quantitative limit established under this Agreement for the current or the following year. Article 7 1. In any one Agreement year advance use of a portion of the quantitative limit established for the following Agreement year may be agreed following consultations in accordance with the procedures referred to in Article 16, paragraph 1 for each category of products between 1 % and 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. Carryover to the corresponding quantitative limit for the following Agreement year of amounts not used during any one Agreement year may be agreed following consultations in accordance with the procedures referred to in Article 16, paragraph 1 for


text: each category of product between 2 % and 7 % of the quantitative limit for the current Agreement year. 3.

Exports of textile products not listed in Annex II to this Agreement may be made subject to quantitative limits by Macao 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 not listed in Annex II originating in Macao exceeds, in relation to the preceding year's total imports into the Community from all sources of products in that category, the following rates: - 0,4 % for categories of products in Group I, - 2 % for categories of products in Group II, - 6 % for categories of products in Group III. It may request the opening of consultations in accordance with the procedure described in Article 16 (1) of this Agreement, with a view to reaching agreement on an appropriate restraint level for the products in such category. The Community shall authorize the importation of products of the said category shipped from Macao before the date on which the request for consultations was submitted. 3. Pending a mutually satisfactory solution, Macao undertakes to limit exports of the products in the category concerned to the Community or to the regions of the Community market specified by the Community for a provisional period of three months from the date on which the request for consultations is made. Such provisional limit shall be established at 25 % 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 consultation


text: or 25 % of the level resulting from the application of the formula set out in paragraph 2, whichever is the higher. However, in exceptionally grave circumstances following a request by the Community and pending a mutually satisfactory solution, Macao undertakes to suspend at a level indicated by the Community exports of the products in the category concerned to the Community or to the regions of the Community market specified by the Community. 4. Should the Parties be unable in the course of consultations to reach a satisfactory solution within the period specified in Article 16 of the Agreement, 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 whith the procedure referred to in Article 16, paragraph 1, 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 limits introduced under paragraph 2 or paragraph 4 may in no case be lower than the level of imports of products in that category originating in Macao in 1986. 6. Quantitative limits may also be established by the Community on a regional basis in accordance with the provisions of Protocol C. 7. The annual growth rate for the quantitative limits introduced under this Article shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Protocol D. 8. 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 or products originating in Macao. 9. In the event of the provisions of paragraph 2, 3 or 4 being applied, Macao 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. 10. Up to the date of communication of the statistics referred to in Article 9 (6), the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article shall apply on the basis of the annual statistics previously communicated by the Community. 11. The provisions of this Agreement which concern exports of products subject to the quantitative limits established in Annex II shall also apply to products for which quantitative limits are introduced under this Article. Article 9 1. Macao undertakes to supply the Community with precise statistical information on all export licences issued by the Macao authorities for all categories of textile products subject to the quantitative limits


text: established under this Agreement. The Community shall likewise supply the Macao authorities precise statistical information on import authorizations or documents issued by the Community authorities in respect of export licences and certificates issued by Macao. 2. The information referred to in paragraph 1 shall, for all categories of products, be forwarded before the end of the second month following the quarter to which the statistics relate. 3. Macao also undertakes to supply the Community with available statistical information on all textile exports by country of destination. The Community shall supply the Macao authorities with import statistics for all products covered by the system of administrative control referred to in Article 8 (2) and for products covered by Article 6 (1). 4. The information referred to in paragraph 3 shall, for all categories of products, be transmitted before the end of the third month following the quarter to which the statistics relate. 5. Should it be found on analysis of the information exchanged 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 16. 6. For the purpose of applying the provisions of Article 8, the Community undertakes to provide the Macao authorities 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 10 1. Should there be divergent opinions between Macao 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 16 with a view to reaching agreement on definitive classification of the product concerned. 2. If the above provisional classification results in provisional debit against a quantitative limit for a category of products other than the category indicated on the export documents issued by the competent Macao authorities, the Community shall inform Macao of such provisional debit within 30 days. 3. The authorities of Macao shall be informed of any amendment to the tariff and statistical nomenclatures in force in the Community or any decision, made in accordance with the procedures in force in the Community, relating to the classification of products covered by this Agreement. Any amendment to the tariff and statistical nomenclatures in force in the Community or any decision which results in a modification of the classification of products covered by this Agreement shall not have the effect of reducing any quantitative limit established in Annex II. The procedures for the application of this paragraph are set out in Protocol A. Article 11 1. Macao and the Community agree to cooperate fully in preventing the circumvention of this Agreement by transhipment, rerouting or whatever other means. 2. Where information available to the Community as a result of the investigations carried out in accordance with the procedures set out in Protocol


text: A constitutes evidence that products of Macao origin subject to quantitative limits established under this Agreement have been transhipped, rerouted or otherwise imported into the Community in circumvention of this Agreement, the Community may request the opening of consultations in accordance with the procedures described in Article 16 (1), with a view to reaching agreement on an equivalent adjustment of the corresponding quantitative limits established under this Agreement. 3. Pending the result of the consultations referred to in paragraph 2, Macao shall as a precautionary measure, if so requested by the Community, make the necessary arrangements to ensure that 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, where clear evidence of circumvention is provided. 4. Should the parties be unable in the course of consultations to reach a satisfactory solution within the period specified in Article 16, the Community shall have the right, where clear evidence of circumvention has been provided, to deduct from the quantitative limits established under this Agreement amounts equivalent to the products of Macao origin. Article 12 1. Macao shall endeavour to ensure that exports of textile products subject to quantitative limits are spaced out as evenly as possible over an Agreement year, due account being taken, in particular, of seasonal factors. 2. Should there be an excessive concentration of imports on any product within a category subject to quantitative limits under this Agreement, the Community may request consultations in accordance with the procedure specified in Article 16 of this Agreement with a view to remedying this situation. Article 13 Should recourse be had to the denunciation provisions of Article 18 (4), the quantitative limits established in Annex II shall be adapted on a pro rata basis. Article 14 1. For the purpose of the administration of this Agreement, the limits referred to in Article 3 are broken down by the Community into shares for each of its Member States. 2. Portions of the quantitative limits established in Annex II not used in one Member State of the Community may be reallocated to another Member State in accordance with the procedures in force in the Community. The Community undertakes to examine with care and reply within four weeks to any request made for reallocation by Macao. In the event of agreement on such reallocation, the flexibility provisions set out in Article 7 shall continue to be applicable to the levels of the original allocation. If, in the course of the application of this Agreement, Macao finds that the break-down of a limit established in Annex II causes particular difficulties, it may request the opening of consultations in accordance with Article 16 with a view to reaching a mutually satisfactory solution. 3. After the first of June of each year of application of


text: the Agreement, Macao may transfer, subject to prior notification to the Community, the unused quantities of the regional quota-shares of a Community quantitative limit, set out in Annex II, to the quota-shares of the same limit of other regions of the Community provided that the regional quota-share from which the transfer is made is utilised by less than 80 %, and up to the amount of the following percentages of the quota-share to which the transfer is made: - 1 % in the first year of the application of the Agreement, - 2 % in the second year of the application of the Agreement, - 4 % in the third year of the application of the Agreement, - 6 % in the fourth year of the application of the Agreement. 4. Should it appear in any given region of the Community that additional supplies are required, the Community may, where measures taken pursuant to paragraph 1 are inadequate to cover those requirements, authorize the importation of amounts greater than those stipulated in Annex II. Article 15 1. Macao and the Community undertake to refrain from discrimination in the allocation of export licences and import authorizations or documents referred to in Protocol A. 2. In implementing this Agreement, the Contracting Parties shall take care to maintain the traditional commercial practices and trade flows between the Community and Macao. 3.

The Community may request consultations in accordance with paragraph 1 when it ascertains that during a particular year of application of the Agreement difficulties arise in the Community or one of its regions from a sharp and substantial increase, by comparison to the preceding year, in imports of a given category of Group I subject to the quantitative limits set out in Annex II. 3. If necessary, at the request of either of the Parties and in conformity with the provisions of the Geneva Arrangement, consultations shall be held on any problems arising from the application of this Agreement. Any consultations held under this Article shall be approached by


text: both Parties in a spirit of cooperation and with a desire to reconcile the difference between them.

TITLE II ORIGIN Article 2 1. Products originating in Macao for export to the Community in accordance with the arrangements established by this Agreement shall be accompanied by a certificate of Macao origin conforming to the model annexed to this Protocol. 2. The certificate of origin shall be issued by the competent governmental authorities of Macao if the products in question can be considered products originating in that country within the meaning of the relevant rules in force in the Community. 3. The certificate of origin referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be required for import of goods covered by a certificate of origin Form A or Form APR completed in accordance with the relevant Community rules in order to qualify for generalized tariff preferences. 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 authorized representative. The competent governmental authorities of Macao 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, certificates of origin shall contain a sufficiently detailed description of the goods to enable the criterion to be determined on the basis of which the certificate was issued. 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 office for the purpose of carrying out the formalities for importing the product shall not ipso facto cast doubt upon the statements in the certificate. TITLE III DOUBLE-CHECKING SYSTEM FOR CATEGORIES OF PRODUCTS WITH QUANTITATIVE LIMITS Section I Exportation Article 6 The competent authorities of Macao shall issue an export licence in respect of all consignments from Macao of textile products referred to in Annex II, up to the relevant quantitative limits as may

It must certify, inter alia, that the quantity of the product in question has been set off against the quantitative limit prescribed for the category of the product in question. 2. Each export licence shall only cover one of the categories of products listed in Annex II of this Agreement. It may be used for one or more consignments of the products in question. 3.

Article 8 The competent Community authorities must be notified forthwith of the withdrawal or alteration of any export licence already issued. Article 9 1. Exports shall be set off against the quantitative limits established for the year in which shipment of the goods has been effected, even if the export licence is issued 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 on to the exporting aircraft, vehicle or vessel.

The import authorization or document shall be valid for six months. 2. The competent Community authorities shall cancel the already issued import authorization or document if the corresponding export licence has been withdrawn. However, if the competent Community authorities have not been notified of the withdrawal or cancellation of the export licence until after the products have been imported into the Community, the quantities involved shall be set off against the quantitative limit for the category and the quota year in question. Article 13 1. If the competent Community authorities find that the total quantities covered by export licences issued by Macao for a particular category in any Agreement year exceed the quantitative limit established in Annex II for that category, as may be modified by Articles 7, 13 and 14 of the Agreement, or any definitive or provisional limit established under Article 8 of the Agreement, the said authorities may suspend the further issue of import authorizations


text: or documents. In this event, the competent Community authorities shall immediately inform the authorities of Macao and the special consultation procedure set out in Article 16 of the Agreement shall be initiated forthwith. 2. Exports of Macao origin not covered by Macao export licences issued in accordance with the provisions of this Protocol may be refused the issue of import authorizations or documents by the competent Community authorities.

Article 18 In order to ensure that the Agreement is properly applied, the Community and Macao shall assist each other in checking the authenticity and accuracy of export licences and certificates of origin issued or declarations made under this Protocol. Article 19 Macao shall send the Commission of the European Communities the names and addresses of the governmental authorities competent for the issue and verification of export licences and certificates of origin together with specimens of the stamps used by these authorities. Macao shall also notify the Commission of any change in this information. Article 20 1. 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 accuracy of the information regarding the products in question. 2. In such cases the competent authorities in the Community shall return the certificate of origin or export licence or a copy thereof to the competent governmental authority in Macao 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 or licence or its copy. The authorities shall also forward any information that has been obtained suggesting that the particulars given on the said certificate or licence are inaccurate. 3. 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 shall also include, at the request of the Community, copies of all documentation necessary to determine the facts fully and in particular the true origin of the goods. 4. 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 competent governmental authority in Macao. 5. 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 21 1. Where the verification procedure referred to in Article 20 or where information


text: available to the Community or to Macao indicates or appears to indicate that the provisions of this Agreement are being contravened, both parties shall cooperate closely and with appropriate urgency to prevent such contravention. 2. To this end Macao shall on its own initiative or at the request of the Community, carry out appropriate enquiries or arrange for such enquiries to be carried out concerning operations which are, or appear to the Community to be in contravention of this Agreement. Macao shall communicate the results of these enquiries to the Community together with any other pertinent information enabling the true origin of the goods to be determined. 3. By agreement between the competent Community authorities and the competent Macao authorities, officials designated by the Community may be present at the enquiries referred to above. 4. In pursuance of the cooperation referred to in paragraph 1, Macao and the Community shall exchange any information considered by either party to be of use in preventing the contravention of the provisions of the Agreement. These exchanges may include information on textile production in Macao and on trade in textile products of a kind covered by this Agreement between Macao and other countries, particularly where the Community has reasonable grounds to consider that the products in question may be in transit across the territory of Macao and prior to their importation into the Community. This information shall include at the request of the Community copies of all relevant documentation. 5. Where it is established that the provisions of this Agreement have been contravened, Macao and the Community may agree to take such measures as are necessary to prevent a recurrence of such contravention.
