                                Joint declaration concerning batik fabrics and products thereof
             A. The Community and Malaysia agree that handicraft batik is produced by a traditional process by
                which colours and shades are added to a bleached or white fabric . The process is carried out by
                hand in three stages namely :
                ( a ) waxing ( application of wax by hand to the fabric );
                ( b ) dyeing / painting ( application of colour either by the traditional cottage method of dyeing or
                      by hand painting );
                ( c ) de-waxing ( boiling the fabric to remove the wax ).
                The three stages of the process are repeated on the fabric for each of the colours or shades of the
                design .
             B. The Parties hereby further agree to the following arrangements :
                 1.    The competent Community authorities will accept as traditional folklore handicraft textile
                products within the meaning of Article 1 ( c ) of Protocol B all batik fabrics , irrespective of the
                method of manufacture of the batik fabric , and all products made or made up therefrom , whether
                sewn by hand or on a hand- or foot-operated sewing machine , provided that the process of
                applying colours and shades to the fabric has been the traditional handicraft batik process
                described at A above , and subject to appropriate certification by the competent Malaysian
                authorities .
                2.     The competent Malaysian authorities will issue certificates conforming to the model
                annexed to Protocol B for batik fabrics or products thereof only when such fabrics or products
                have been produced by the processes , including in particular the traditional handicraft batik
                process , specified in the preceding paragraph .
