 I. HT TRODU CTIOÎT
 1 . It was agreed when the regulations on the implementation of the generalized,
      preference scheme for 197& were adopted that the 1977 arrangements for textile
      products should "be extended for six months , owing to uncertainty over the
      negotiations in connection with the renewal of the MFA .
                                                                                        2
 2 . This Commission proposal to the Council provides for the application of the GSP
      scheme for textiles for the second half of this year to enter into force on
      1 July .
II . TK5 SITUATION AFTER THE MFA NEGOTIATION'S     :
3 . The-'bilateral negotiations with the Community 1 s various suppliers of textile
     ■products were concluded in December 1 977 • In the same month , agreement was
      reached in Geneva on the renewal of the MFA .
      The Community should therefore be able to talce a decision on arrangements for
      textile products under the GSP to be applied from 1 July, taking into account
      the results of the above-mentioned negotiations .
4 . The arrangements for importation of textile products resulting from the MFA ,
      bilateral negotiations radically change the system of product classification .
      It would appear desirable that an effort should be made to harmonize with the
      GSP arrangements currently in force . In addition , taking advantage of the leeway
      given him in the negotiating mandate with regard to certain developing countries ,
      the Community 's negotiator undertook on behalf of the Community to carry out
      on his own a review of the quantitative base of the preferential arrangements ,
      in order to secure a positive outcome for the bilateral negotiations .
5 . The introduction of GSP arrangements for textiles aligned on the MFA system
      and with an enlarged quantitative base is , however , a task of some complexity .
      It calls for a thorough study of the specific rules to be applied and their
      incidence on trade in textile products in general , and preferential : imports in
      particular . Furthermore , such a study would require a knowledge of various
      factors involved in the application of the new MFA arrangements , particularly
      in relation to the operation of the surveillance system set up to ensure the
      smooth running of the agreements .
6 . Since not all this information is yet available and the time for decision is
      limited – the Council 's decision is needed six weeks before 1 July to allow
      the Member States Customs Services to implement the regulation – the Commission
      does not think that it would be possible for a decision on modified GSP arrange­
      ments for textiles to be reached before the deadline .

7 . Regulation
    The Commissionopening,
                        therefore proposes that the Council should extend the current
                               allocating and providing for the administration of
    Community tariff preferences for textile products originating in developing
    countries and territories , for a further six months from ,1 July , on the same
    conditions .      '                    '   ,       ■
    This renewal is proposed solely in view .of the impossibility of introducing new
    arrangements by 1 July and in order to allow the developing countries to benefit
    without interruption from preferential advantages for textile products .      The
    Commission intends to submit to the Council , in the context of its proposals
    for the application of the GSP in 1 979 » a proposal designed to bring the GSP
    textiles arrangements into line with MFA arrangements and provide for a larger
    volume of preferential imports , in order to take account of promises made to
    secure bilateral agreements under the MPA.

   THF. COUNCIL OF THF, EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
   Economic Community, and in particular Article 1 13
• thereof,
   Having regard to the pronosaT from the Commission,
  Whereas, within the context of UNCTAD , the Euro­
  pean Economic Community offered to grant tariff pre­
  ferences on finished and semi-finished products coming
  from developing countries; whereas the preferential '
  treatment proposed in that offer covers, generally
  speaking, all- finished and semi-finished industrial pro­
  ducts covered by Chapters 25 to 99 of the Common
  Customs Tariff which originate in developing countries;
  whereas the preference consists in the granting of cx- v
  emption from customs duties; whereas preferential
  imports arc effected up to the level of ceilings calculated
  by value in respect of each product on the basis of fac­
  tors which arc uniform for all the products; whereas, in
  order that the preferences granted to the most competi­
  tive developing country or countries should be restricted
  and that a substantial share should be reserved for the
  least competitive, preferential imports from any one
  developing country in respect of a given product should
  not, as a general rule, exceed 50% of the ceiling fixed
  for that product;
  Whereas, in the offer made by the Community, the
  annual ceilings should normally be calculated on the
  basis of the total value for IV6# ofpf imports from the
  countries benefiting from this scheme excluding those
  already enjoying various preferential tariff arrangements
  granted by the Community ( basic amount), plus 5% of
  the value of cif imports from other countries and from
  the countries already enjoying such arrangements (addi­
  tional amount);
