COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC ) No 3061/79  of 20 December 1979  on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in the People's Republic of China  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and in particular Article 113 thereof ,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,  Whereas the Community has negotiated an Agreement with the People's Republic of China ( hereinafter referred ro as " China " ) on trade in textile products ;  Whereas the Community and China decided that the provisions of that Agreement will be fully implemented as from 1 January 1980 until 31 December 1983 ;  Whereas it is necessary , with a view to implementing the Agreement and to take account of its particularities , to establish specific common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in China ;  Whereas , in order to apply quantitative limits in conformity with the Agreement negotiated with China , it is necessary to establish a special management procedure ; whereas it is desirable that such common management system be decentralized by allocating the quantitative limits among the Member States , and that the import authorizations be issued by the Member States' authorities in accordance with the double-checking system defined in the Agreement ;  Whereas , in order to ensure the best possible utilization of the quantitative limits , they should be allocated in accordance with the requirements of the Member States and with the quantitative objectives established by the Council ; whereas , however , the extent of the disparities existing in the conditions for imports of these products into the Member States and the particularly sensitive position of the Community textiles industry mean that the said conditions can be standardized only gradually ; whereas for these reasons allocation of supplies cannot immediately be effected on the basis of requirements alone ;  Whereas it is also necessary to introduce efficient and rapid procedures for altering quantitative limits and their allocation to take account of the development of trade flows , needs for additional imports and the Community's obligations under the Agreement with China ;  Whereas , in the case of products not subject to quantitative limitation , the Agreement provides for a consultation procedure whereby , under certain conditions , agreement can be sought with China on the introduction of quantitative limits ; whereas it is necessary to provide a procedure whereby the Community may introduce quantitative limits pending the conclusion of such consultation or as a result of such consultations or where such consultations do not lead to agreement ;  Whereas it is therefore necessary to lay down a rapid and efficient procedure for introducing such quantitative limits and concluding arrangements with China ;  Whereas , for practical reasons , it is convenient to make use , for the purposes enumerated above , of the management committee already set up by Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3059/78 of 21 December 1978 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in third countries ( 1 ) ,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :  Article 1  1 .

The definition of quantitative limits laid down in Annex IV and the categories of products to which they apply shall be adapted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 14 where this proves necessary to ensure that any subsequent amendment to the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff or the nomenclature of goods for the external trade statistics of the Community and the statistics of trade between Member States ( NIMEXE ) does not result in a reduction of such quantitative limits .  5 . Exports of all textile products originating in China , including handloom and folklore products covered by the categories referred to in Article 1 , shall be subject to a double-checking system , as described hereinafter .  6 . Where imports into the Community of textile products listed in Annex I and originating in China are effected at abnormally low prices , the provisions of Annex IX shall apply .  7 .

The release for free circulation of products the import of which was subject to quantitative limitation before 1 January 1980 and which were shipped before the said date shall continue from that date to be subject to the presentation of the same import documents , and to the same import conditions , as before 1 January 1980 .  Article 5  1 . The quantitative limits referred to in Article 3 shall not apply to products admitted into the customs territoty of the Community under the arrangements for inward processing or other suspensive arrangements , provided that they are declared to be for re-export under such a system outside the said territory in the same state or after processing .

Any quantitative limit , except for categories 2 and 3 , established in Annex IV or any level resulting from the application of the rates specified in Article 11 ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) , may be exceeded by 10 % as long as the imports causing this excess are imports of cottage industry and folklore products as defined in Annex VIII , originating in China .  4 . The provisions of the above paragraph shall apply only to products accompanied by a certificate drawn up by the Chinese authorities in conformity with the specimen set out in the appendix to Annex VIII and which fulfil the conditions laid down in Annex VIII .  Article 6  In order that the Community textile and clothing industry may benefit from the utilization of all the quantitative limits established in Annex IV , and in particular those established for categories 2 , 3 and 37 , and in order to contribute to the improvement of supplies to these industries of raw silk , silk waste , angora and cashmere , the Commission shall , at the request of one or more Member States , submit to the Chinese authorities before 1 December of each Agreement year a list of interested manufacturing and processing companies , and , where appropriate , the quantities of products requested by the companies concerned .  Article 7  1 . The quantitative limits introduced pursuant to Article 11 shall be allocated in such a way as to ensure the improved utilization of these quantitative limits and to attain progressively a more balanced penetration of the markets by means of improved burden-sharing between the Member States .  2 . The allocation of the quantitative limits referred to in paragraph 1 shall be adapted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 14 and according to the criteria defined in paragraph 1 where this proves necessary , particularly in view of trends in patterns of trade , in order to ensure their improved utilization .  Article 8  1 . China may , after notifying the Commission in advance , utilize the shares allocated to Member States in the following ways :   ( a ) Advance utilization during any given year of a portion of a share established for the following year shall be authorized for each category of products up to 5 % of the share for the year of actual utilization .  Such advance imports shall be deducted from the corresponding shares established for the following year .   ( b ) Carry-over of amounts not utilized during any given year to the corresponding share for the following year shall be authorized up to 5 % of the share for the year of actual utilization .  However , for each of the categories of products subject to quantitative limitations , carry-over of quantities unused in 1979 shall be authorized up to 10 % of the quantitative limits for 1980 .  For categories to which the arrangement described in the above subparagraph is applied , no advance use shall be authorized during 1980 .   ( c ) Transfers of quantities in Group 1 categories shall be made only as follows :   _ transfers from category 1 to categories 2 and 3 shall be authorized up to 5 % of the share established for the category to which the listed transfer is made ,   _ transfers between categories 2 and 3 are governed by the provisions of the appendix to Annex IV ,   _ transfers between categories 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 and 8 shall be authorized up to 5 % of the share established for the category to which the transfer is made .

The table of equivalence applicable to the abovementioned transfers is given in Annex I .  2 . In the event of recourse by China to the provisions of paragraph 1 , the Commission shall notify the authorities of the Member State concerned which shall authorize the imports in question in accordance with the double-checking system defined in Annexes V and VI .  3 . Where a Member State's share has been increased by the application of paragraph 1 , or of Article 9 , or where further possibilities for imports into that Member State have been created under Article 9 , such increases or further import possibilities shall not be taken into account for the purposes of applying paragraph 1 in the current year or subsequent years .  Article 9  1 . Member States which find that they require additional imports for their internal consumption or which consider that their share may not be fully utilized shall notify the Commission accordingly .  2 . The quantitative limits laid down in Article 3 may be increased in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 14 where it appears that additional imports are required .  3 . At the request of a Member State which finds that it requires additional imports , either on the occasion of fairs of where it has issued import authorizations or equivalent documents for up to 80 % of its national share , the Commission may , after oral or written consultations with the Member States within the Committee referred to in Article 13 , open up additional possibilities for imports into that Member State .  In an emergency , the Commission shall open consultations within the Committee within five working days following receipt of the request from the Member State concerned and shall take a decision within 15 working days calculated from the same date .  Article 10  1 . The authorities of the Member States shall issue the import authorizations or equivalent documents provided for in Article 3 ( 2 ) up to the amount of their shares , taking into account the measures taken pursuant to Articles 5 , 7 , 8 and 9 .  2 . The import authorizations or equivalent documents shall be issued in accordance with Annexes V and VI .  3 . The quantities of products covered by the import authorizations or equivalent documents provided for in Article 3 shall be charged against the share of the Member State which issued those authorizations or documents .  Article 11  1 . The following provisions shall apply , under the conditions enumerated hereinafter , to the importations into the Community of textile products listed in Annex I , originating in China and not subject to the quantitative limits referred to in Article 3 .  2 . The Commission _ on its own initiative or at the request of a Member State _ can request the opening of consultations with China in order to reach agreement on a suitable level of limitation for any category of products when it finds , through the system of double-checking , that the total volume covered by the shipment certificates issued by the Chinese authorities for the category in question in an Agreement year is above to reach or exceed the level resulting from the application of the following percentages :   _ 0 * 2 % if the category is in Group I ,   _ 1 * 5 % if the category is in Group II ,   _ 5 % if the category is in Group III , IV and V ,  to the preceding calendar year's total imports into the Community of products in the same category , subject to the provisions of paragraph 10 .  3 . Such consultation with China can also be requested in order to reach agreement on a suitable level of regional limitation for any category of products when it is found that the total volume covered by shipment certificates issued by the Chinese authorities in an Agreement year for any category of product is about to reach or exceed , in relation to the total quantities calculated for the whole Community according to the percentage specified in paragraph 2 above , the relevant percentages set out for the regions of the Community in the table below :  Germany 28 * 5 %  Benelux 10 * 5 %  France 18 * 5 %  Italy 15 %  Denmark 3 %  Ireland 1 %  United Kingdom 23 * 5 %  4 . For products subject to quota under the autonomous import arrangements in effect at the time of initialling of the Agreement , such consultations shall be initiated within eight days of a request by a Member State .  For other products , the decision to hold consultations shall be taken in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 14 .  This decision must be taken within 15 working days from such a request . Where the outcome of this decision is that consultations should be opened , this shall happen within eight working days of the decision to do so .  5 . Pending the result of the consultations and within five working days from the date on which the request for them was notified to China in accordance with paragraph 8 , a quantitative limit shall be established for imports into the Community or , at the request of Member States , into one or more regions , at a level not lower than that notified in the request for consultations , nor that resulting from the application of the rate referred to in paragraph 2 , nor the level of imports in 1978 of products of the same category originating in China .  Such limits will remain in force until replaced by a definitive limit introduced after the consultation has taken place or until it is decided , after the consultation and in accordance with the provisions of this Article , that no that no definitive limit should be introduced .  6 . The introduction of a quantitative limit does not preclude the import of products covered by this quantitative limit but shipped from China before the date on which  the request for consultations was notified to China . Notice of this date will be given by a Commission communication published without delay in the Official Journal of the European Communities .  7 . In the case of products subject to quota under the autonomous import arrangements in effect at the time of the initialling of the Agreement with China , a Member State may , where the conditions set out in paragraph 3 are fulfilled , suspend the issue of import documents provided that the suspension is brought to the attention of the Commission within seven working days of the date on which such an import document was requested by an importer . The importer must in turn be informed without delay . When the quantitative limit referred to in paragraph 5 is established , the issue of import documents will be resumed within and up to the level of the quantitative limit in question , subject always to the provisions of paragraph 6 .  8 . Where consultations are opened with China , the Commission may request that China with effect from the date of notification of the request for consultations and pending a mutually satisfactory solution suspend or limit at the level indicated by the Commission its exports of the category of products in question to the Community or to one or more regions thereof .  The consultations with China may lead to the conclusion of an arrangement between China and the Community , which shall stipulate that the quantitative limits applied shall be administered in accordance with the double-checking system .  The consultations shall be conducted in accordance with the following rules :   _ the Commission shall notify China of the request for consultations ,   _ the request for consultations shall be followed within a reasonable period and in any event within 15 days of the notifiction , by a report setting out the conditions which , in the Commission's opinion , justify the submission of such a request ,   _ the Commission shall initiate consultations within one month at the latest of notification of the request , with a view to reaching agreement or a mutually acceptable conclusion within one month at the latest .  9 . Should the Community and China fail to reach a satisfactory solution within the time limit set out above , imports of the category of products in question may be made subject to definitive quantitative limits at an annual level not lower than that reached by imports of the said products and indicated in the request for consultations .  10 . Where , for a particular category of products , the provisions of paragraph 2 are applied , the level which shall be taken into consideration shall be the highest level reached in respect of the category of products in question in either of the last two years preceding the year of application of the measure establishing a quantitative limit .  11 . Where the development of total imports into the Community of a product which is subject to a quantitative limit fixed in accordance with paragraphs 5 to 9 renders it necessary , the annual level of that quantitative limit shall be increased , after consultation with China in accordance with the procedure laid down in paragraph 8 , to ensure compliance with the conditions set out in paragraphs 2 and 3 .  12 . Quantitative limits established pursuant to this Article shall be the subject of a Commission Regulation and shall be administered in accordance with Articles 3 to 10 .  Article 12  1 . In respect of each quantitative limit set out in Annex IV , Member States shall notify the Commission , within the first 10 days of each month , of the total quantities , in the appropriate units and by country of origin and category of products , for which import authorizations have been issued during the preceding month .  2 .

The statistical data relating to the production and consumption of each product shall be forwarded under arrangements to be determined subsequently pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article 14 .  5 . Where the nature of the products or particular circumstances so require , the Commission may , at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative , alter the time limits for communicating the abovementioned information under the procedure laid down in Article 14 .  6 . Member States shall notify the Commission , under conditions set in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 14 of all other particulars deemed under that procedure to be necessary in order to ensure compliance with the obligations agreed between the Community and China .

Where different criteria for determining origin are fixed in respect of products falling within a single category and a single tariff heading , the certificate or declaration must include a description of the goods which is sufficiently detailed to allow assessment of the criterion on the basis of which the certificate was issued or the declaration made .  Article 2  The discovery of slight discrepancies between the entries 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 .  Article 3  1 . Subsequent verification of certificates of origin shall be carried out at random , or whenever the competent Community authorities have reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the certificate or as to the accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the products in question .

The decision shall be taken in accordance with the procedure specified in Article 14 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 802/68 .  5 . 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 of China .  6 . Random recourse to the procedure specified in this Article must not constitute an obstacle to the release for home use of the products in question .  Article 4  1 . The movement certificates and Forms EUR.1 and EUR.2 and the certificates of origin Form A and Forms APR presented at the time of importation into the Community in order to obtain a tariff preference shall be accepted in place of the proof of origin stipulated in Article 1 .  2 .
