       United Kingdom of certain textile products originating in

1 . During the year 1975 "the Commission adopted several protective measures
with regard to imports of textile products originating in the Republic of Korea
and in Taiwan a-.ongst which vrere yarns of synthetic textile fibres ^"^ and
                  (9)
synthetic socks . The measures which concerned these two products were
limited to the narkets most affected, i.e. for synthetic yarns to the
German market and for the socks to the Benelux and German markets .
2o     Since the adoption of these measures , and apparently in response to
them , the Asian exporters have diversified the destinations of their exports
in such a way that they have now affected the French market for socks and the
French and British markets for synthetic yarn .
3o     In the circumstances , and in view of the tardiness of the Korean represent­
atives in pursuing and concluding negotiations for self-restraint in the
context of the Arrangement Regarding International Trade in Textiles , the
French and the British authorities made formal requests for the urgent
establishment by the Commission of quotas for these products .
4.    At the meeting of the competent Advisory Committee on 31.10.75 "the
Commission 's services explained that in the present state of affairs and
in view of the imminent re-opening of negotiations with Korea, a protective
measure consisting- in the establishment of quantifetive quotas would be
premature and untimely . They therefore proposed, as a compromise solution ,
the adoption of a temporary holding measure consisting in the suspension of
the issue of .-new import authorisations until the end of Hie year , it being-
understood that imports covered by documents already granted could be affected
freely . This solution was approved by all delegations .
5°    For these reasons the Commission adopted Regulation (EEC ) No . 2930/75
establishing interim protective measures regarding imports into France and
the United Kingdom of certain textile products originating in the Republic of
Korea and in Taiwan .
