            shall apply only to the following products :
            ( a ) fabrics woven on hand- or foot-operated looms , being fabrics of a kind traditionally made in the
                  cottage industry of Sri Lanka ;
            ( b ) garments or other textile articles of a kind traditionally made in the cottage industry of Sri Lanka
                  obtained manually from the fabrics referred to above and sewn exclusively by hand without the
                  aid of any machine ;
            ( c) traditional folklore textile products of Sri Lanka made by hand in the cottage industry of Sri
                  Lanka as defined in a list to be agreed between both Parties and annexed to this Protocol .
            Exemption shall be granted only for products accompanied by a certificate issued by the competent Sri
            Lanka authorities in accordance with the specimen annexed to this Protocol . Such certificates shall
            state the grounds on which exemption is based and shall be accepted by the competent Community

            out in this Protocol . Certificates covering the products referred to in paragraph ( c) above shall bear a
            conspicuous stamp : 'FOLKLORE'. In case of divergent opinion between Sri Lanka and the competent
            Community authorities at the point of entry into the Community as to the nature of such products ,
            consultations shall be held within one month with a view to resolving such divergences . Should
            imports of any of the above products reach such proportions as to cause difficulties to the Community ,
            the two Parties shall open consultations forthwith in accordance with the procedure laid down in
            Article 17 of the Agreement with a view to finding a quantitative solution to the problem .
            2.      The provisions of Title IV and V of Protocol A shall apply mutatis mutandis to the products
            referred to in paragraph 1 .

            The Community declares that , in accordance with the Community rules on origin referred to in
            Article 2 ( 3 ) of the Agreement , any amendments to the said rules will remain based upon criteria not

            a single complete process .

                                 Joint Declaration concerning batik fabrics and products thereof
            A.      The Community and Sri Lanka agree that batik fabric may not be described as having been
            produced by the traditional handicraft batik process unless , for each of the colours or shades applied
            to the fabric , each of the following three operations has been carried out by hand :
            ( 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).
            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 basic 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 Sri Lanka
                  authorities .
            2 . The competent Sri Lanka 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 .

                                                     Memorandum of Understanding
            In implementation of the licensing arrangements set out in Protocol A , the Community and Sri Lanka
             agree that , as regards exports from Sri Lanka to the Federal Republic of Germany , the system outlined
            in the Annex appended hereto shall apply as from the date of coming into operation of the Agreement .
            The Community will consider the question of extension of this system to exports from Sri Lanka to
            other regions of the Community and will notify Sri Lanka in the event that such extension can be
             agreed .

                      to the Memorandum of Understanding concerning advance notices of issue of export licences
            The competent authorities of Sri Lanka may at their discretion issue , in respect of products subject to quantitative
            limitation which are intended to be exported , an advance notice of issue of export licence conforming to the model
            attached to this Annex . In issuing each such advance notice , the said authorities undertake :
            — to issue , before exportation of the products specified in the advance notice , an export licence conforming to the
                model annexed to Protocol A , and definitively to set off the quantity actually exported against the relevant
                 quantitative limit for the year in which the exportation takes place ,
            — to ensure that the quantity actually exported shall not be greater than that specified in the advance
                notice ,
            — in the event that exportation is not effected within the year specified in the advance notice , to notify the
                competent Community authorities accordingly .
            The competent Community authorities shall , upon presentation of an advance notice of issue of export licence ,
            issue an import authorization or document in accordance with the provisions of Protocol A , and shall set off the
            limit in their records .
            In the event that the quantity actually exported , and therefore specified in an export licence , is less than stated in the
            relevant advance notice or that the competent Community authorities receive notification that exportation of the
            goods specified in an advance notice will not be or has not been effected within the year specified therein , the said
            authorities shall duly adjust their records .
