 ---pagebreak---                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorised the Commis­
   sion to open negotiations with Mexico with a view to the conclusion
   of an agreement on trade in textile products.
2. In accordance with that Council Decision,          and in consultation with
   the Article 113 Committee, the Commission conducted negotiations with
   Mexico from 26 July to 21 October 1982.
   Following the negotiations, a draft Agreement was drawn up.
   The draft Agreement:
    (i)     covers   all MFA products of wool, cotton and man-made fibres
            originating in Mexico,
    (ii)    calls   for voluntary restraint, at agreed levels, on exports
            to the Community of certain categories of products covered by
            the Agreement,
    (iii)   provides    for    a  consultation   procedure   whereby  voluntary
            restraint measures may be introduced for categories of pro­
            ducts    not  initially    subject  to   limitation, where  certain
            thresholds are exceeded,
    (iv)    establishes     a double checking System for categories of pro­
            ducts subject to limitation, and an origin control System for
            all categories covered by the Agreement,
     (v)     includes a       flexibility  clause   allowing the transfer  of a
            certain percentage of the quotas from category to category,
             or from one year to another,
     (vi)    includes an     "anti-surge"  clause allowing in certain circum-
             stances the Suspension of flexibility or the introduction of
             temporary limits within quotas,
     (vii)   includes an     "anti-fraud"  clause allowing in certain circum-
             stances the debiting against the quota of the true country of
             origin of quantities shipped fraudulently,
     (viii)  in exchange     for limitation,   contains an undertaking by the
             Community not to introduce further quantitative restrictions
             under Article XIX of the GATT or Article 3 of the MFA, or to
             measures having an effect equivalent to quantitative restric­
             tions.
                                                                              /-

    The Heads of the Delegation initialled the text of the draft Agree
    ment on 21 October 1982, having noted that it correctly represented
    the results of the negotiations.
3.  In order to ensure that the successful implementation of the Agree­
    ment should not be put at risk        and to prevent a flood of exports
    preceding its entry into force,      the Community, following the conclu­
    sion of the negotiations, proposed to the third countries that until
    such time    as the Agreement entered into force both parties          should
     apply its provisions on an autonomous basis as from 1 January 1983.
    These provisions were put into effect by Council Regulation (EEC) N
     3589/82  of   23 December   1982        making the importation      into the
     Community of textile products originating in certain third         countries
     subject  to authorisation and quantitative limitation, as amended by
                                                                   (2 )
     Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3762/83 of 19 December 1983
4.   The   Commission   considers   that   the   draft  Agreement   embodies   an
     arrangement which is acceptable to the Community. It therefore recom­
     mends that the Council:
      (1)     approve  the Agreement by adopting the regulation,        the draft
              of which is annexed hereto,
      (ii)    pending   approval   of   the    Agreement,  take   the   necessary
              decisions in connection with the signing thereof.

                                       Brussels, October 21, 1982.
               Dear Mr. Krenzler:
                           I refer to the bilateral textile agreement
              between the Community and Mexico initialled on
              October 21, 1982.
                           In this connection, you explained that
              Article 9 of the Agreement was considered by the .
              Community as falling within Paragraph 10 of the 1981
              Protocol of Extension of the MFA.           For my part,
              I placed on record the importance which Mexico attaches
              to conformity of Article 9 of the Agreement with
              Paragraph 10 of the 3981 Protocol of Extension of the MFA.
                           I explained to you that Mexico was ready to
              accept the provisions of Article 9 of the bilateral
              agreement on the understanding that the Community would
              bear in mind Mexico's particular situation, having only
              one category subject to limitation, particularly in cases
              where the Community might contemplate recourse to
              Article 9, Paragraph 4, and only with a view to eliminate
              rea,' risk of serious and palpable damage to domestic
              industry.
                           I should be grateful if you would be good
              enough to confirm the contents of this letter.
                                      Yours fai thf ully,

                                       Brussels, October 21, 1982.
             Dear Mr. Krenzler:
                           I have the honour to refer to the Agreement
             on Trade and Textiles initialled on October 21, 1982.
                           In this connection,    I understood you to make
             the following comments:
             1.            Article 8
                                  If the provisions of Article 8 of the
                                  agreement are invoked in respect of
                                  Category 2 ,  the quantitative limits
                                  existing in respect of that category
                                  under the bilateral textile agreement
                                  expiring on 31 December 1982 will serve
                                  as a basic reference.
                                  In the event of recourse to Article 8,
                                  the Community would not set a definitive
                                  limit until such times as the full import
                                  statistics are available for any preceeding
                                  vear.
              2.            Article 13
                            You explained to me that Article 13, Paragraph 1
                            was a standard provision in the Community s
                            bilateral agreements.      However, it was your
                            understanding that Article 13, Paragraph 1
                            was not necessarily applicable to Mexico.

                                                                          CONFIDENTIAL
                3.               Article 5 / Protocol B
                                 You explained that Article 5 and Protocol B
                                 were inapplicable unless and until the product
                                 concerned was subject to quantitative limitation.
                                 In consequence, in view of past experience and
                                 the actual product under limitation it seemed
                                 unlikely that quantitative limits would be
                                necessary for products covered by A.rticle 5
                                during the new agreement.
               /
               •* .             Article  - ~ , Ptrauraoh 2
                                I understood you to say that this provision was
                                intended to avoid undue delay in the apolication
                                of Article 9.       However, the Community would aive
                                due consideration to the practical difficulties
                                which could arise in reaching agreement within
                                the period specified.
              5.               Article 12
                               Having regard to the implementation of the
                               previous Agreement,     the need for recourse to
                               the provisions of Paragraphs 3 and 4 of this
                               Article seems unlikely.
                               I would be grateful if you would be kind enough
              to confirm the contents of this letter.
                                            Yours faithfully,

                        "At the moment of initialling the Agreement, the Mexican delegation
                        reserved the right for the Mexican Government, should the provisions
                        of Article 9 and/or those concerning unilateral action in Articles
                        8 and 12 be modified in a subsequent agreement providing for quantitative
                         limits concluded by the Community with another exporting country, to
                        replace the present provisions in the Agreement to be signed between
                        Mexico and the Community by the corresponding modified version or
                        versions.                I understand that you do not contest this right."

                                    Brussels, October 21, 1982.
               Dear Mr. Krenzler:
                           At the moment of initialling the Agreement,
               the Mexican delegation reserved the right for the
               Mexican Government, should the provisions of
               Article 9 and/or those concerning unilateral action
               in Articles 8 and 12 be modified in a subsequent
               agreement providing for quantitative limits concluded
               by the Community with another exporting country,
               to replace the present provisions in the Agreement
               to be signed between Mexico and the Community by the
               corresponding modified version or versions.
               I understand that you do not contest this right.
                                     Sincerely yours,
                                 Francisco Cuevas Cancino
                                        Ambassador
