                                          (A) Letter from the European Communities
             Sir ,
             Recognizing the importance of mutually satisfactory solutions in steel trade by the European
             Coal and Steel Community and the European Economic Community ( hereinafter referred to
             as 'the EC') and the Government of the United States of America ( hereinafter referred to as
             'the US'), as attained by the Arrangement concerning trade in certain steel products between
             the ECSC and the US on 21 October 1982 ( hereinafter referred to as ' 1982 Arrangement'),
             noting the forthcoming reassessment of the EC steel policy in light of the restructuring effort
             already achieved and still continuing , as well as the importance to the US of President
             Reagan's steel programme for stability in world steel trade , we are writing you this letter
             to record agreement on the following complementary Arrangement to the 1982
             Arrangement:
                                                  Complementary Arrangement
             1 . ( a) The EC will restrain each category of complementary Arrangement products
                         exported to the USA during the restraint period to quantities no greater than the
                         following export ceilings :
                                   Product                                    Export ceiling (short tons)
                                    1 . Alloy wire rod                                    9 241
                                    2 . Round and flat wire                             73 090
                                    3 . Wire products                                     5 164
                                    4 . Black plate                                     23 856
                                    5 . Electrical sheet and strip                      10 870
                                    6 . Tin-free steel                                  17 498
                                    7 . Cold-rolled strip                               13 393
                                    8 . Cold-finished and other bar                     32 275
                                    9 . Bar shapes under 3 inches                         9 212
                                   10 . Concrete reinforcing bars                           780
                                   11 . Rail products                                     2 538
                   ( b ) The specific product export ceilings provided for in subparagraph ( a ) may be
                         adjusted by the EC with notice to the US . Adjustments to increase the volume of one
                         product export ceiling must be offset by an equivalent volume reduction in another
                         product export ceiling under subparagraph ( a ) or Article 4 of the 1982 Arrangement
                         for the same period . Notwithstanding the preceding sentences , no adjustment may be
                         made under this paragraph which results in an increase or a decrease in a specific
                         product export ceiling by more than five ( 5 ) % by volume for the restraint period .
                         The EC and the US may agree to increase the above percentage limit . Normally , only
                         one change in a specific export ceiling may be made during the restraint period by an
                         adjustment under this subparagraph . Accordingly , more than one such change may
                         be made only upon agreement between the EC and the US .
             2 . ( a ) Where complementary Arrangement products imported into the USA are
                         subsequently re-exported therefrom , without having been subject to substantial
                         transformation , the export ceiling for such products shall be increased by the same
                         amount .
                   ( b ) For the purposes of this complementary Arrangement , the USA shall comprise both
                         the US customs territory and US foreign trade zones . In consequence the entry into
                         the US customs territory of Arrangement products which have already entered into a
                         foreign trade zone shall not then be again taken into account as imports of
                         complementary Arrangement products .

            3 . ( a ) By Decisions and Regulations to be published in the Official Journal of the European
                       Communities , the EC will require an export licence for all complementary
                       Arrangement products . Such export licences will be issued in a manner that will
                       avoid abnormal concentrations in exports of complementary Arrangement products
                       to the USA taking into account seasonal trade patterns . The EC shall take such
                       action , including the imposition of penalties , as may be necessary to make effective
                       the obligations resulting from the export licences . The EC will inform the US of any
                       violations concerning the export licences which come to its attention and the action
                       taken with respect thereto .
                       Export licences will provide that shipment must be made within a period of three
                       months . Export licences will be issued against each export ceiling for the restraint
                       period .
                 ( b ) The EC will require that complementary Arrangement products shall be
                       accompanied by a certificate substantially in the form set out in Appendix C to the
                       1982 Arrangement , endorsed in relation to such a licence . The US shall require
                       presentation of such certificate as a condition for entry into the USA of the
                       complementary Arrangement products . The US shall prohibit entry of such products
                       not accompanied by such a certificate .
                ( c) Prior to 1 October 1985 , the EC shall not issue export licences and certificates for
                       more than three-fifths of the export ceiling of each complementary Arrangement
                       product .
                       However , all complementary Arrangement products exported after 31 July 1985 and
                       before 12 August 1985 shall be permitted to enter the USA upon presentation of
                       certificates issued by the EC after such products were exported . Such certificates , and
                       the licences to which they are endorsed , shall be specially marked . Applications for
                       such licences and certificates must be received by the EC from exporters before
                       15 September 1985 .
                If the quantity of a complementary Arrangement product covered by export licences and
                certificates before 1 October 1985 exceeds three-fifths of the export ceiling for such
                product , then the quantity of such product that exceeds three-fifths of such ceiling shall
                be deducted either from the unexported quantity remaining under the export ceiling for
                such product or from the unexported quantity remaining under the export ceilings for
                other complementary Arrangement products , or from the unexported quantity remaining
                under the export ceilings for Arrangement products under the 1982 Arrangement, or
                from the unexported quantity remaining under the export limit for pipes and tubes under
                the exchange of letters of 10 January 1985 , as determined by the EC and the US at the
                latest by 20 October 1985 .
                The EC will not issue export licences or certificates against the remaining two-fifths of
                the complementary Arrangement product export ceilings until after 20 October 1985
                and will not issue such licences and certificates for any quantities deducted under this
                paragraph .
                If any exports subject to this complementary Arrangement are not known and accounted
                for under the procedure of this subparagraph then such exports will be counted against
                 available export ceilings , after consultations , in the same manner as provided in this
                subparagraph .
            4 . At the request of the EC , the US and the EC will examine the supply and demand
                situation in the USA for each of the products listed in Appendix A. If the US in
                consultation with the EC determines that because of abnormal supply or demand
                factors , the US steel industry will be unable to meet demand in the USA for a particular
                product ( including substantial objective evidence such as allocation , extended delivery
                periods , or other relevant factors) an additional tonnage shall be allowed for such
                product or products by a special issue of licences limited to 10 % of the EC's unadjusted
                export ceiling for that product or products . In extraordinary circumstances as
                determined by the US in consultation with the EC , the US will increase the allowable
                level of special licences .
                Each authorized special issue export licence and certificate derived therefrom shall be so
                marked . Each such licence must be used within 180 days after the start of the quarter
                when that special issue began .
            5 . The EC will within one month of each quarter and for the first time by 1 September
                 1985 supply the US with such non-confidential information on all export licences issued
 ---pagebreak--- N.L 215 / 4                                Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunità europee                                      12 . 8 . 85
                  for complementary Arrangement products as is required for the proper functioning of
                  this complementary Arrangement.
                  The US will collect and transmit quarterly to the EC all non-confidential information
                  relating to certificates received during the preceding quarter or part thereof in respect of
                  the complementary Arrangement products , and relating to actions taken in respect of
                  complementary Arrangement products for violations of customs laws .
            6 . Consultations shall take place between the EC and the US at any time on any matter
                  arising out of the operation of this complementary Arrangement including trends in the
                  importation of certain steel products within the meaning of Article 3 ( b ) of the 1982
                  Arrangement which impair or threaten to impair the attainment of the objectives of this
                  complementary Arrangement . In particular , if imports from the EC of such certain steel
                  products other than Arrangement products within the meaning of Article 1 of the 1982
                  Arrangement, complementary Arrangement products or alloy complementary
                  Arrangement products show a significant increase indicating the possibility of diversion
                  of trade from Arrangement products or complementary Arrangement products to certain
                   steel products other than Arrangement products or complementary Arrangement
                  products or from carbon to alloy within the same complementary Arrangement product ,
                  consultations will be held between the US and the EC with the objective of preventing
                   such diversion , taking account of the EC 1981 US market-share levels .
                   Should these consultations demonstrate that there has indeed been a diversion of trade
                   which is such as to impair the attainment of the objectives of the complementary
                   Arrangement , then within 60 days of the request for consultations both sides will take
                   the necessary measures for the products concerned in order to prevent such a diversion .
                   For alloy complementary Arrangement products , such measures will include the creation
                   of separate products for purposes of paragraph 1 ( a) at the 1981 US market-share level .
                   For certain steel products other than Arrangement products or complementary
                   Arrangement products , such measures may include the creation of products for purposes
                   of paragraph 1 ( a).
                   Consultations will also be held if there are indications that imports from third countries
                   are replacing imports from the EC .
            7 . If, during the restraint period , any petition seeking import relief under US law , including
                  Section 337 ( 1 ) and Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 , Sections 201 or 301 of the Trade
                  Act of 1974 ( other than Section 301 petitions relating to third-country sales by US
                  exporters), or Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 , is filed or investigations
                  initiated or litigation ( including anti-trust litigation ) instituted with respect to
                  complementary Arrangement products , then the EC shall be entitled to terminate this

                  'Recognizing the importance of mutually satisfactory solutions in steel trade by the
                  European Coal and Steel Community and the European Economic Community
                  (hereinafter referred to as "the EC") and the Government of the United States of America
                  ( hereinafter referred to as "the US", as attained by the Arrangement concerning trade in
                  certain steel products between the ECSC and the US on 21 October 1982 (hereinafter
                  referred to as " 1982 Arrangement"), noting the forthcoming reassessment of the EC steel
                  policy in light of the restructuring effort already achieved and still continuing , as well as
                  the importance to the US of President Reagan's steel programme for stability in world
                  steel trade , we are writing you this letter to record agreement on the following
                  complementary Arrangement to the 1982 Arrangement:
                                               COMPLEMENTARY ARRANGEMENT
                  1 . ( a ) The EC will restrain each category of complementary Arrangement products
                             exported to the USA during the restraint period to quantities no greater than the
                             following export ceilings :
                                       Product                                Export ceiling (short tons)
                                         1 . Alloy wire rod                                9 241
                                         2 . Round and flat wire                         73 090
                                         3 . Wire products                                 5 164
                                         4 . Black plate                                 23 856
                                         5 . Electrical sheet and strip                   10 870
                                         6 . Tin-free steel                               17 498
                                         7 . Cold-rolled strip                            13 393
                                         8 . Cold-finished and other bar                 32 275
                                         9 . Bar shapes under 3 inches                     9 212
                                       10 . Concrete reinforcing bars                        780

                       ( b ) The specific product export ceilings provided for in subparagraph ( a ) may be
                             adjusted by the EC with notice to the US . Adjustments to increase the volume of
                             one product export ceiling must be offset by an equivalent volume reduction in
                             another product export ceiling under subparagraph ( a) or Article 4 of the 1982
                             Arrangement for the same period . Notwithstanding the preceding sentences , no
                             adjustment may be made under this paragraph which results in an increase or a
                             decrease in a specific product export ceiling by more than five ( 5 ) percent by
                             volume for the restraint period .
                             The EC and the US may agree to increase the above percentage limit . Normally,
                             only one change in a specific export ceiling may be made during the restraint
                             period by an adjustment under this suparagraph . Accordingly, more than one
                             such change may be made only upon agreement between the EC and the US .
                  2 . ( a ) Where complementary Arrangement products imported into the USA are
                             subsequently re-exported therefrom , without having been subject to substantial
                             transformation , the export ceiling for such products shall be increased by the
                             same amount .
                       (b ) For the purposes of this complementary Arrangement, the USA shall comprise
                             both the US customs territory and US foreign trade zones. In consequence the
                             entry into the US customs territory of Arrangement products, which have already
                             entered into a foreign trade zone shall not then be again taken into account as
                             imports of complementary Arrangement products .

             3 . ( a) By Decisions and Regulations to be published in the Official Journal of the
                       European Communities, the EC will require an export licence for all
                       complementary Arrangement products . Such export licences will be issued in a
                       manner that will avoid abnormal concentrations in exports of Complementary
                       Arrangement products to the USA taking into account seasonal trade patterns .
                       The EC shall take such action , including the imposition of penalties , as may be
                       necessary to make effective the obligations resulting from the export licences. The
                       EC will inform the US of any violations concerning the export licences which
                       come to its attention and the action taken with respect thereto .
                       Export licences will provide that shipment must be made within a period of three
                       months. Export licences will be issued against each export ceiling for the restraint
                       period .
                  (b) The EC will require that complementary Arrangement products shall be
                       accompanied by a certificate substantially in the form set out in Appendix C to
                       the 1982 Arrangement, endorsed in relation to such a licence . The US shall
                       require presentation of such certificate as a condition for entry into the USA of
                       the complementary Arrangement products . The US shall prohibit entry of such
                       products not accompanied by such a certificate .
                  ( c) Prior to 1 October 1985 , the EC shall not issue export licences and certificates
                       for more than three-fifths of the export ceiling of each complementary
                       Arrangement product .
                       However, all complementary Arrangement products exported after 31 July 1985
                       and before 12 August 1985 shall be permitted to enter the USA upon
                       presentation of certificates issued by the EC after such products were exported .
                        Such certificates , and the licences to which they are endorsed , shall be specially
                        marked . Applications for such licences and certificates must be received by the
                       EC from exporters before 15 September 1985 .
                       If the quantity of a complementary Arrangement product covered by export
                       licences and certificates before 1 October 1985 exceeds three-fifths of the export
                        ceiling for such product, then the quantity of such product that exceeds three­
                       fifths of such ceiling shall be deducted either from the unexported quantity
                       remaining under the export ceiling for such product or from the unexported
                        quantity remaining under the export ceilings for other complementary
                        Arrangement products , or from the unexported quantity remaining under the
                       export ceilings for Arrangement products under the 1982 Arrangement , or from
                       the unexported quantity remaining under the export limit for pipes and tubes
                        under the exchange of letters of 10 January 1985 , as determined by the EC and
                        the US at the latest by 20 October 1985 .
                        The EC will not issue export licences or certificates against the remaining two­
                       fifths of the complementary Arrangement product export ceilings until after
                        20 October 1985 and will not issue such licences and certificates for any
                        quantities deducted under this paragraph .
                       If any exports subject to this Complementary Arrangement are not known and
                        accounted for under the procedure of this subparagraph , then such exports will
                        be counted against available export ceilings , after consultations , in the same
                        manner as provided in this subparagraph .
             4 . At the request of the EC , the US and the EC will examine the supply and demand
                  situation in the USA for each of the products listed in Appendix A. If the US in
                  consultation with the EC determines that because of abnormal supply or demand
                  factors , the US steel industry will be unable to meet demand in the USA for a
                  particular product ( including substantial objective evidence such as allocation ,
                  extended delivery periods , or other relevant factors) an additional tonnage shall be
                  allowed for such product or products by a special issue of licences limited to 10 % of
                  the EC's unadjusted export ceiling for that product or products . In extraordinary
                  circumstances as determined by the US in consultation with the EC , the US will
                  increase the allowable level of special licences .
                  Each authorized special issue export licence and certificate derived therefrom shall be
                  so marked . Each such licence must be used within 180 days after the start of the
                  quarter when that special issue began .

             5 . The EC will within one month of each quarter and for the first time by
                    1 September 1985 supply the US with such non-confidential information an all
                   export licences issued for complementary Arrangement products as is required for the
                   proper functioning of this complementary Arrangement.
                   The US will collect and transmit quarterly to the EC all non-confidential information
                   relating to certificates received during the preceding quarter or part thereof in respect
                   of the complementary Arrangement products , and relating to actions taken in respect
                   of complementary Arrangement products for violations of customs laws .
             6 . Consultations shall take place between the EC and the US at any time on any matter
                   arising out of the operation of this complementary Arrangement including trends in
                   the importation of certain steel products within the meaning of Article 3 (b ) of the
                    1982 Arrangement which impair or threaten to impair the attainment of the
                   objectives of this complementary Arrangement . In particular , if imports from the EC
                   of such certain steel products other than Arrangement products within the meaning
                   of Article 1 of the 1982 Arrangement , complementary Arrangement products or
                   alloy complementary Arrangement products show a significant increase indicating
                   the possibility of diversion of trade from Arrangement products Or complementary
                   Arrangement products to certain steel products other than Arrangement products or
                   complementary Arrangement products or from carbon to alloy within the same
                   complementary Arrangement product , consultations will be held between the US and
                   the EC with the objective of preventing such diversion , taking account of the EC
                    1981 US market-share levels .
                   Should these consultations demonstrate that there has indeed been a diversion of
                   trade which is such as to impair the attainment of the objectives of the
                   complementary Arrangement, then within 60 days of the request for consultations
                   both sides will take the necessary measures for the products concerned in order to
                   prevent such a diversion . For alloy complementary Arrangement products , such
                   measures will include the creation of separate products for purposes of paragraph 1
                    ( a) at the 1981 US market-share level . For certain steel products other than
                   Arrangement products or complementary Arrangement products , such measures may
                   include the creation of products for purposes of paragraph 1 ( a ).
                   Consultations will also be held if there are indications that imports from third
                   countries are replacing imports from the EC .
             7 . If, during the restraint period , any petition seeking import relief under US law,
                   including Section 337 I 1 ) and Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 , Section 201 or 301
                   of the Trade Act of 1974 ( other than Section 301 petitions relating to third-country
                   sales by US exporters), or Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 , is filed
                   or investigations initiated or litigation ( including anti-trust litigation) instituted with
                   respect to complementary Arrangement products , then the EC shall be entitled to
                   terminate this Arrangement with respect to some or all of the complementary
                   Arrangement products after consultation with the US , at the earliest, 15 days after
                   such consultations begin .
             8 . This complementary Arrangement shall apply to the US customs territory ( except
                   as otherwise provided in paragraph 2 ( b )) and to the territories to which the Treaty
                   establishing the European Economic Community as presently constituted applies on
                   the conditions laid down in that Treaty .
             9 . For purposes of this complementary Arrangement , the term
                   ( a ) "complementary Arrangement product" means products described in
                         Appendix A to this complementary Arrangement that are the product of the
                         Community and that are exported to , or destined for consumption in , the
                         USA ;
                   ( b ) "restraint period" means the period 1 August 1985 through 31 December
                         1985 ;
