(1) In accordance with the Council negotiating directives of September 1997, the
    Commission has negotiated an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters
    amending the existing Agreement between the European Community and the
    Socialist Republic of Vietnam on trade in textile and clothing products. This
    Agreement provides, on the one hand, for the removal of certain quantitative
    limits, the raising of other quantitative limits hitherto maintained by the
    Community on imports from Vietnam and the establishment of a double-checking
    system for certain products and, on the other hand, for better access for
    Community textile and clothing products to the Vietnamese market.
(2) The Commission initialled this Agreement on 17 November 1997.
(3) The Council is therefore invited to approve on behalf of the Community this
    proposal for a Council Decision on the provisional application of the Agreement
    in the form of an Exchange of Letters amending the existing Agreement
    between the European Community and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on
    trade in textile and clothing products pending the formal conclusion of that
    Agreement on behalf of the Community.

                         LETTER FROM THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
     Sir, •
     1.      I have the honour to refer to the negotiations held from 29 to 31 September and from 27
             to 29 October 1997 between our respective delegations with a view to amending the
            Agreement between the European Community and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam

            from 1 January 1993, as last amended by the Agreement in the form of an exchange of
             letters initialled on 1 August 1995 (hereinafter referred to as "the Agreement").
     2.     As a result of those negotiations it was agreed to amend the Agreement as follows:
     2.1    The text of Article 3 is replaced by the following:
                                                   "Article 3
             1. Viet Nam agrees to limit its exports to the Community of products listed in Annex II to
            the amounts set out therein for each Agreement year.
            In the allocation of quantities for export to the Community, Viet Nam shall not
            discriminate against companies fully or partially owned by Community investors.
            2. Exports of textile products set out in Annex II shall be subject to a double-checking
            system as specified in Protocol A.
            3. In administering the quantitative limits referred to in paragraph 1, Viet Nam shall
            ensure that the Community textile industry benefits from utilisation of such limits.
            In particular, Viet Nam undertakes to reserve, as a priority, 30% of the quantitative limits
            for firms in that industry for a period of three months beginning on 1 January of each
            year. For this purpose, contracts made with such firms during the period in question and
            submitted to the Vietnamese authorities during the same period shall be taken into
            consideration.
            4. To facilitate the implementation of these provisions, the Community shall provide the
            competent Vietnamese authorities, before 31 October of each year, with a list of
            interested manufacturers and processors and of the indicative quantity of products
            requested for each firm. To this end, the firms concerned must make direct contact with
            the relevant Vietnamese bodies during the period specified in paragraph 3, in order to
            verify what quantities are available under the reserve referred to in paragraph 3.
            5. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and without prejudice to the quantitative
            system applicable to products subject to the operations referred to in Article 4, the
            Community undertakes to suspend the application of quantitative restrictions currently
            in force in respect of products covered by this Agreement.
            6. Exports of products referred to in Annex IV to the Agreement which are not subject
            to quantitative limits shall be subject to the double-checking system referred to in
            paragraph 2."

       LETTER FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF THE SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF VIET NAM
  Sir,
  I have the honour to ackhnowledge receipt of your letter of                which reads as follows:
« Sir,
  1.      I have the honour to refer to the negotiations held from 29 to 31 September and from 27
         to 29 October 1997 between our respective delegations with a view to amending the
         Agreement between the European Community and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam
         on trade in textile and clothing products initialled on 15 December 1992 and applied
         from 1 January 1993, as last amended by the Agreement in the form of an exchange of
          letters initialled on 1 August 1995 (hereinafter referred to as "the Agreement").
  2.     As a result of those negotiations it was agreed to amend the Agreement as follows:
  2.1    The text of Article 3 is replaced by the following:
                                                "Article 3
          1. Viet Nam agrees to limit its exports to the Community of products listed in Annex II to
         the amounts set out therein for each Agreement year.
         In the allocation of quantities for export to the Community, Viet Nam shall not
         discriminate against companies fully or partially owned by Community investors.
         2. Exports of textile products set out in Annex II shall be subject to a double-checking
         system as specified in Protocol A.
         3. In administering the quantitative limits referred to in paragraph 1, Viet Nam shall
         ensure that the Community textile industry benefits from utilisation of such limits.
         In particular, Viet Nam undertakes to reserve, as a priority, 30% of the quantitative limits
         for firms in that industry for a period of three months beginning on 1 January of each
         year. For this purpose, contracts made with such firms during the period in question and
         submitted to the Vietnamese authorities during the same period shall be taken into
         consideration.
         4. To facilitate the implementation of these provisions, the Community shall provide the
         competent Vietnamese authorities, before 31 October of each year, with a list of
         interested manufacturers and processors and of the indicative quantity of products
         requested for each firm. To this end, the firms concerned must make direct contact with
         the relevant Vietnamese bodies during the period specified in paragraph 3, in order to
         verify what quantities are available under the reserve referred to in paragraph 3.
         5. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and without prejudice to the quantitative
         system applicable to products subject to the operations referred to in Article 4, the
         Community undertakes to suspend the application of quantitative restrictions currently
         in force in respect of products covered by this Agreement.
