Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3061/79 of 20 December 1979 (1) e st abl is he d
common rules for imports into the Community of t e x t i l e products ori gi na ti ng
in China.
These rule s were introduced following the conclusion of a b i l a t e r a l agreement,
and are val id u n t i l 31 December 1983.
The agreement concerning t e x t i l e products app lie s u n t i l 31 December 1983 but
i s t a c i t l y extended for a further 5 years unless 6 months' no ti ce of
denunciation i s given by e i t h e r party.          Since i t has not been denounced i t
w i l l continue to apply in 1984.             Quantitative li m i t s covering the Community's
t e x t i l e imports from China have however been s p e c i f i e d in the agreement only
u n t i l 31 December 1983.          Negotiations began on 21 November to consider inter
a l i a the qu a nt i t a ti v e li m it s which should apply from 1     January 1984.
These ne gotiations were suspended on 13 December and wi l l continue in 1984.
In order to ensure, as a matter of p r i o r i t y , that trade in t e x t i l e products
 continues without d is r u p t io n s, and to ensure that there i s no legal void
between the present regime and that which i s currently under n e got ia ti on,
i t appears necessary to extend, for the year 1984 only, the q u ant i ta ti ve
 li m it s already e s ta b li s h e d pursuant to the agreement, as increased by the
 relevant growth ra te s.
This i s without prejudice to the r e s u l t s of the continuing ne goti at io ns
between China and the Community.
 The attached proposal for a Regulation introducing these amended li mi ts
 for the year 1984 i s hereby submitted to the Council for adoption as soon
as p o s s i b l e , but not lat e r than 31 December 1983.
