   in textile products was initialled on 2 7 September 1975 ,
   and the import regime was established by Council Regula­
   tion  ( EEC )  N°  114 / 77 .
2. The said Council Regulation incorporated a quantitative :
    limit for imports        of women 's , girl 's and infants' blouses
   and shirt-blouses , of synthetic' fibres , into the Community
   market in     France .    This had been agreed as a result of
   Consultations held between the Community and Singapore on
   14 and 15 July 1976 , under the provisions of Article 5 ,
   paragraphs 2 and 4 , of the Agreement between the Community
   and Singapore .      This quantitative      limit , which is set out
   under category 5 of Annex B of the said Regulation , ran
   from 1 September       1976 to 31 August      1977 .
3. At the request of the Community , Consultations were held
   on 6 September 1977. with a view to extending this quanti­
   tative   limit until the end of 1977 ,. in view of the fact ,
   that this sector of the         industry  in   France continued to be
   extremely sensitive to market disruption by imports .
4. As a result of the Consultations , the Community and
   Singapore agreed that the said quantitative             limit be ex­
   tended unt i I    31 December    1977 at  a   level  calculated on the
   same basis as the previous          limit plus a growth of 6 % in
   accordance with the provisions of the Multifibre Arrangement
