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 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


text: 3Macao 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 4Macao 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 5Exports 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 61. 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 71. 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 each category of product between 2 % and 7 % of the quantitative limit for the current Agreement year.3. Transfers in respect of categories in Group I shall not be made from any categories except as follows:- transfers between categories 2 and 3 may be made for any Agreement year up


text: to 4 % of the quantitative limit for the category to which the transfer is made,- transfers between categories 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 may be made for any Agreement year up to 4 % of the quantitative limit for the category to which the transfer is made.Transfers into any category in Groups II and III may be made from any category or categories in Groups I, II and III for any Agreement year up to 5 % of the quantitative limit for the category to which the transfer is made.The table of equivalence applicable to such transfers is given in Annex I to this Agreement.4. 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 12 %.5. Prior notification shall be given by the authorities of Macao in the event of recourse to the provisions of paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above.Article 81. 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 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 followinga 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


text: 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 91. 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 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


text: 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 betweenthe 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 101. 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 111. 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 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


text: 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 121. 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 13Should 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 141. 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.
