   THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ALBANIA,
    
   WHO HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

   1.   Trade in textile products listed in Annex I and originating within the Contracting Parties shall be liberalized for the duration of this Agreement under the conditions set out therein.
   2.   Subject to the provisions of this or any successive Agreement, the Community undertakes, in respect of the products listed in Annex I, to suspend the application of quantitative import restrictions currently in force and not to introduce new quantitative restrictions.
   Quantitative import restrictions shall be re-introduced in case of denunciation or non-replacement of the present Agreement.
   3.   Measures having equivalent effect to quantitative restrictions on the importation into the Community of the products listed in Annex I shall be prohibited for the duration of this Agreement.
   Article 2

   2.   Should quantitative limits be introduced, exports of the textile products made subject to quantitative limits shall be subject to a double-checking system as specified in Protocol A.
   3.   At the time of entry into force of this Agreement, exports of products listed in Annex II not subject to quantitative limits shall be subject to the double-checking system referred to in paragraph 2.
   4.   Following consultations in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 15, exports of products in Annex I not subject to quantitative limits other than those listed in Annex II may be subject, subsequently to the entry into force of this Agreement, to the double-checking system referred to in paragraph 2 or to a prior surveillance system introduced by the Community.
   Article 3
   1.   Imports into the Community of textile products covered by this Agreement shall not be subject to the quantitative limits established under this Agreement, provided that they are declared to be for re-export outside the Community in the same state or after processing, within the framework of the administrative system of control which exists within the Community.

         Article 5
   1.   Exports of textile products listed in Annex I to this Agreement may be made subject to quantitative limits on the conditions laid down in the following paragraphs.
   2.   Where the Community finds, under the system of administrative control set up, that the level of imports of products in a given category listed in Annex I originating in Albania exceeds, in relation to the preceding year's total imports into the Community from all sources of products in that category, the following rates:
   
               —
            
            
               1,25 % for categories of products in Group I,
            
         
               —

               —
            
            
               12,5 % for categories of products in Groups III, IV and V,
            
         it may request the opening of consultations in accordance with the procedure described in Article 15 of this Agreement, with a view to reaching agreement on an appropriate restraint level for the products in such category.
   3.   Pending a mutually satisfactory solution, Albania undertakes, from the date of notification of the request for consultations, to suspend or limit at the level indicated by the Community exports of the category of products in question to the Community or to the region or regions of the Community market specified by the Community.
   The Community shall authorize the importation of products of the said category shipped from Albania before the date on which the request for consultations was submitted.
   4.   Should the Contracting Parties be unable in the course of consultations to reach a satisfactory solution within the period specified in Article 15 the Community shall have the right to introduce a definitive quantitative limit at an annual level not lower than the level resulting from the application of the formula set out in paragraph 2, or 106 % of the level of imports reached during the calendar year preceding that in which imports exceeded the level resulting from the application of the formula set out in paragraph 2 and gave rise to the request for consultations, whichever is the higher.
   The annual level so fixed shall be revised upwards after consultations in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 15, with a view to fulfilling the conditions set out in paragraph 2, should the trend of total imports into the Community of the product in question make this necessary.
   5.   The annual growth rate for the quantitative limits introduced under this Article shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Protocol D.
   6.   The provisions of this Article shall not apply where the percentages specified in paragraph 2 have been reached as a result of a fall in total imports into the Community, and not as a result of an increase in exports of products originating in Albania.
   7.   In the event of the provisions of paragraph 2, 3 or 4 being applied, Albania undertakes to issue export licences for products covered by contracts concluded before the introduction of the quantitative limit, up to the volume of the quantitative limit fixed.
   8.   Up to the date of communication of the statistics referred to in Article 12 6., the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article shall apply on the basis of the annual statistics previously communicated by the Community.
   Article 6
   1.   In view of ensuring the effective functioning of this Agreement, the Community and Albania agree to cooperate fully in order to prevent, to investigate and to take any necessary legal and/or administrative action against circumvention by transhipment, re-routing, false declaration concerning the country or place of origin, falsification of documents, false declaration concerning fibre content, quantities description or classification of merchandise any by whatever other means. Accordingly, Albania and the Community agree to establish the necessary legal provisions and administrative procedures permitting effective action to be taken against such circumvention, which shall include the adoption of legally binding corrective measures against exporters and/or importers involved.
   2.   Should the Community believe on the basis of information available that the present Agreement is being circumvented, the Community will consult with Albania with a view to reaching a mutually satisfactory solution. These consultations will be held as early as possible and at the latest within 30 days from the date of request.
   3.   Pending the results of the consultation referred to in paragraph 2, Albania shall, as a precautionary measure, if so requested by the Community, take all necessary measures to ensure that, where sufficient evidence of circumvention is provided, adjustments of quantitative limits established under Article 5 liable to be agreed following the consultations referred to in paragraph 2 may be carried out for the quota year in which the request to open consultations in accordance with paragraph 2 was made, or for the following year if the quota for the current year is exhausted.
   4.   Should the Parties be unable, in the course of the consultation referred to in paragraph 2 to reach a mutually satisfactory solution, the Community shall have the right:
   
               (a)
            
            
               where there is sufficient evidence that products originating in Albania have been imported in circumvention of the present Agreement, to set off the relevant quantities against the quantitative limits established under Article 5;
            
         
               (b)
            
            
               where sufficient evidence shows that false declaration concerning fibre content, quantities, description or classification of products originating in Albania has occured, to refuse to import the products in question;
            
         
               (c)
            
            
               should it appear that the territory of Albania is involved in transhipment or re-routing of products not originating in Albania, to introduce quantitative limits against the same products originating in Albania if they are not already subject to quantitative limits, or to take any other appropriate measures.
            
         5.   The Parties agree to establish a system of administrative cooperation to prevent and to address effectively all problems arising from circumvention in accordance with the provisions of Protocol A to this Agreement.
   Article 7
   1.   The quantitative limits established under this Agreement on imports into the Community of textile products of Albanian origin will not be broken down by the Community into regional shares.
   2.   The Parties shall cooperate in order to prevent sudden and prejudicial changes in traditional trade flows resulting in regional concentration of direct imports into the Community.
   3.   Albania shall monitor its exports of products under restraint or surveillance into the Community. Should a sudden and prejudicial change in traditional trade flows arise, the Community will be entitled to request consultations in order to find a satisfactory solution to those problems. Such consultations must be held within 15 working days of their being requested by the Community.
   4.   Albania shall endeavour to ensure that exports of textile products subject to quantitative limits into the Community are spaced out as evenly as possible over the year due account being taken in particular of seasonal factors.
   Article 8
   In the event of denunciation of this Agreement as provided for in Article 19 (3), the quantitative limits established pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced on a pro rata temporis basis unless the Contracting Parties decide otherwise by common agreement.
   Article 9
   Albania exports of cottage-industry fabrics woven on hand- or foot-operated looms, garments or other made-up articles obtained manually from such fabrics and of traditional folklore handicraft products shall not be subject to quantitative limits, provided that these products originating in Albania meet the conditions laid down in Protocol B.
   Article 10
   1.   Should the Community consider that a textile product covered by this Agreement is being imported into the Community from Albania at a price abnormally lower than the normal competitive level and is for this reason causing or threatening to cause serious injury to Community producers of like or directly competing products, it may request consultations under Article 15, and in that event the following specific provisions shall be applicable.
   2.   If following such consultations it is acknowledged by common accord that the situation described in paragraph 1 exists, Albania shall take, within the limits of its powers, the necessary steps, notably as regards the price at which the product in question will be sold, to remedy the situation.
   3.   In order to determine whether the price of a textile product is abnormally lower than the normal competitive level, it may be compared with:
   
               —
            
            
               the prices generally charged for like products sold under the ordinary conditions by other exporting countries on the market of the importing country,
            
         
               —
            
            
               the prices of like national products at a comparable marketing stage on the market of the importing country,
            
         
               —
            
            
               the lowest prices charged by a third country for the same product in the course of ordinary commercial dealings in the three months preceding the request for consultations, and not having led to the adoption of any measure by the Community.
            
         4.   Should the consultations referred to in paragraph 2 above fail to lead to an agreement within 30 days of the Community's request for consultations, the Community may, until these consultations have produced a mutually satisfactory solution, temporarily refuse consignments of the product in question at prices under the conditions referred to in paragraph 1 above.
   5.   In totally exceptional and critical circumstances, where consignments of products are being imported from Albania into the Community at prices abnormally lower than the normal competitive level, such as to cause injury which it would be difficult to repair, the Community may temporarily suspend imports of the products concerned pending agreement on a solution in the course of consultations, which shall be opened immediately. The Contracting Parties shall do their utmost to reach a mutually acceptable solution within 10 working days' notice of the opening of such consultations.
   6.   Should the Community have recourse to the measures referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 above, Albania may at any time request the opening of consultations to examine the possibility of eliminating or modifying these measures where the causes which made them necessary no longer exist.
   Article 11
   1.   The classification of the products covered by this Agreement is based on the tariff and statistical nomenclature of the Community (herinafter called the „combined nomenclature”, or in abbreviated for „CN”) and any amendments thereof.
   Where any decision on classification results in a change of classification practice or a change of category of any product subject to this Agreement the affected products shall follow the trade regime applicable to the practice or category they fall into after such changes.
   Any amendment to the combined nomenclature (CN) made in accordance with the procedures in force in the Community concerning categories of products covered by this Agreement or any decision relating to the classification of goods shall not have the effect of reducing quantitative limits introduced pursuant to this Agreement.
   2.   The origin of the products covered by this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the rules in force in the Community.
   Any amendement to these rules of origin shall be communicated to Albania and shall not have the effect of reducing any quantitative limit established pursuant to this Agreement.
   The procedures for control of the origin of the products referred to above are laid down in Protocol A.
   Article 12
   1.   Albania shall supply the Commission with precise statistical information on all export licences issued for categories of textile products subject to the quantitative limits established under this Agreement, or to a double-checking system expressed in quantities and in terms of value and broken down by Member States of the Community, as well as on all certificates issued by the competent Albanian authorities for products referred to in Article 9 and subject to the provisions of Protocol B.
   2.   The Community shall likewise transmit to the Albanian authorities precise statistical information on import authorizations issued by the Community authorities and import statistics for products covered by the system referred to in Article 5 (2).
   3.   The information referred to above shall, for all categories of products, be forwarded before the end of the month following the month to which the statistics relate.
   4.   Upon request by the Community, Albania shall supply import statistics for all products covered by Annex I.
   5.   Should it be found on analysis of the information exchanged that there are significant discrepancies between the returns for exports and those for imports, consultations may be initiated in accordance with the procedure specified in Article 15 of this Agreement.
   6.   For the purpose of applying the provisions of Article 5, the Community undertakes to provide the Albanian authorities before 15 April of each year with the preceding year's statistics on imports of all textile products covered by this Agreement, broken down by supplying country and Community Member State.
   Article 13
   1.   Albania shall create favourable conditions for imports of textile products originating in the Community listed in Annex I and, where appropriate inter alia, accord to them non-discriminatory treatment as regards the application of quantitative restrictions, and the granting of licences and the allocation of currency needed to pay for such imports. Albania will also recommend to its importers to use the possibilities offered by the Community producers of textiles mentioned above while according the highest possible degree of liberalization to those imports taking into account the development of trade between the Contracting Parties.
   2.   Where a need for additional supplies arises and in particular a need leading to the diversification on imports of textile products in Albania, Albania shall accord non-discriminatory treatment to imports of textile products originating in the Community.
   Article 14
   1.   The Contracting Parties agree to examine the trend of trade in textile products and garments each year, in the framework of the consultations provided for in Article 15 and on the basis of the statistics referred to in Article 12.

   PROTOCOL A
   TITLE I
   CLASSIFICATION
   Article 1
   1.   The competent authorities of the Community undertake to inform Albania of any changes in the combined nomenclature (CN) before the date of their entry into force in the Community.
   2.   The competent authorities of the Community undertake to inform the competent authorities of Albania of any decisions relating to the classification of products subject to the present Agreement, within one month of their adoption at the latest. Such communication shall include:
   
               (a)
            
            
               a description of the products concerned;
            
         
               (b)
            
            
               the relevant category and the related CN codes;
            
         
               (c)
            
            
               the reasons which have led to the decision.
            
         3.   Where a decision on classification results in a change of classification practice or a change of category of any product subject to the Agreement, the competent authorities of the Community shall provide 30 days' notice, from the date of the Community's communication, before the decision is put into effect. Products shipped before the date of entry into effect of the decision shall remain subject to the earlier classification practice, provided that the goods in the question are presented for importation into the Community within 60 days of that date.
   4.   Where a Community decision on classification resulting in a change of classification practice or a change of categorization of any product subject to the Agreement affects a category subject to quantitative limits, the Contracting Parties agree to enter into consultation in accordance with the procedures described in Article 15 of the Agreement with a view to honouring the obligation under the second subparagraph of Article 11 (1) of the Agreement.
   5.   In case of divergent opinions between Albania and the competent Community authorities at the point of entry into the Community on the classification of products covered by the present Agreement, classification shall provisionally be based on indications provided by the Community, pending consultations in accordance with Article 15 with a view to reaching agreement on definitive classification of the product concerned.
   TITLE II
   ORIGIN
   Article 2
   1.   Products originating in Albania for export to the Community in accordance with the arrangements established by this Agreement shall be accompanied by a certificate of Albanian origin conforming to the model annexed to this Protocol.
   2.   The certificate of origin shall be certified by the competent Albanian organizations authorized under the Albanian legislation if the products in question can be considered products originating in that country within the meaning of the relevant rules in force in the Community.
   3.   However, the products in Groups III, IV and V may be imported into the Community in accordance with the arrangements established by this Agreement on production of a declaration by the exporter on the invoice or other commercial document relating to the products to the effect that the products in question originate in Albania within the meaning of the relevant rules in force in the Community.
   4.   The certificate of origin referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be required for import of goods covered by a certificate of origin Form A or Form APR completed in accordance with the relevant Community rules in order to qualify for generalized tariff preferences.
   Article 3
   The certificate of origin shall be issued only on application having been made in writing by the exporter or, under the exporter's responsibility, by his authorized representative. The competent Albanian organizations authorized under Albanian legislation shall ensure that the certificate of origin is properly completed and for this purpose they shall call for any necessary documentary evidence or carry out any check which they consider appropriate.
   Article 4
   Where different criteria for determining origin are laid down for products falling within the same category, the certificates or declarations of origin must contain a sufficiently detailed description of the goods so as to enable Albanian criterion to be determined, on the basis of which the certificate was issued or the declaration drawn up.
   Article 5
   The discovery of slight discrepancies between the statements made in the certificate of origin and those made in the documents produced to the customs office for the purpose of carrying out the formalities for importing the products shall not ipso facto cast doubt upon the statements in the certificate.
   TITLE III
   DOUBLE-CHECKING SYSTEM
   Section I
   Exportation
   Article 6
   1.   The competent authorities of Albania shall issue an export licence in respect of all consignments from Albania of textile products subject to any definitive or provisional quantitative limits established under Article 5 of the Agreement, up to the relevant quantitative limits as may be modified by Articles 4, 6 and 8 of the Agreement, as well as of all consignments of textile products subject to a double-checking system without quantitative limits as provided for in Article 2 (3) and (4) of the Agreement.
   Article 7
   1.   For products subject to quantitative limits under this Agreement the export licence shall conform to Model 1 annexed to this Protocol and it shall be valid for exports throughout the customs territory to which the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community applies. However, where the Community has made recourse to the provisions of Articles 5 and 7 of the Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Agreed Minute No 1, or to the Agreed Minute No 2, the textile products covered by the export licences can only be put into free circulation in the region(s) of the Community indicated in those licences.
   2.   Where quantitative limits have been introduced pursuant to this Agreement, each export licence must certify inter alia that the quantity of the product in question has been set off against the quantitative limit established for the category of the products concerned and shall only cover one category of products subject to quantitative limits. It may be used for one or more consignments of the products in question.
   3.   For products subject to a double-checking system without quantitative limits the export licence shall conform to Model 2 annexed to this Protocol. It shall only cover one category of products and may be used for one or more consignments of the products in question.
   Article 8
   The competent authorities of the Community must be informed immediately of the withdrawal or modification of any export licence already issued.
   Article 9
   1.   Exports of textile products subject to quantitative limits pursuant to this Agreement shall be set off against the quantitative limits established for the year in which the shipment of the goods has been effected even if the export licence is issued after such shipment.
   2.   For the purpose of applying paragraph 1, shipment of the goods is considered to have taken place on the date of their loading onto the exporting aircraft, vehicule or vessel.
   Article 10
   The presentation of an export licence, in application of Article 12 hereafter, shall be effected not later than 31 March of the year following that in which the goods covered by the licence have been shipped.
   Section II
   Importation
   Article 11
   Importation into the Community of textile products subject to quantitative limits or to a double-checking system pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the presentation of an import authorization.
   Article 12
   1.   The competent authorities of the Community shall issue the import authorization referred to in Article 11 above, within five working days of the presentation by the importer of the original of the corresponding export licence.
   2.   The import authorizations concerning products subject to quantitative limits under this Agreement shall be valid for six months from the date of their issue for imports throughout the customs territory to which the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community is applied. However, where the Community has recourse to the provisions of Articles 5 and 7 of the Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Agreed Minute No 1, or to the Agreed Minute No 2, the products covered by the import licences can only be put into free circulation in the region(s) of the Community indicated in those licences.
   3.   The import authorizations for products subject to a double-checking system without quantitative limits shall be valid for six months from the date of their issue for imports throughout the customs territory to which the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community is applicable.
   4.   The competent authorities of the Community shall cancel the import authorization already issued whenever the corresponding export licence has been withdrawn.
   However, if the competent authorities of the Community are notified of the withdrawal or the cancellation of the export licence only after the importation of the products into the Community, the relevant quantities shall be set off against the quantitative limits established for the category and the quota year concerned.
   Article 13
   1.   If the competent authorities of the Community find that the total quantities covered by export licences issued by the competent authorities of Albania for a particular category in any year exceed the quantitative limit established in accordance with Article 5 of the Agreement for that category, as may be modified by Articles 4, 6 and 8 of the Agreement, the said authorities may suspend the further issue of import authorizations. In this event, the competent authorities of the Community shall immediately inform the authorities of Albania and the special consultation procedure set out in Article 15 of the Agreement shall be initiated forthwith.
   2.   Exports of products of Albanian origin subject to quantitative limits or a double-checking system and not covered by Albanian export licences issued in accordance with the provisions of this Protocol may be refused an import authorization by the competent Community authorities.
   However, without prejudice to Article 6 of the Agreement if the import of such products is allowed into the Community by the competent authorities of the Community, the quantities involved shall not be set off against the appropriate quantitative limits established pursuant to this Agreement, without the express agreement of the competent authorities of Albania.
   TITLE IV

   TITLE V
   ADMINISTRATIVE COOPERATION
   Article 17
   The Community and Albania shall cooperate closely in the implementation of the provisions of this Protocol. To this end, contacts and exchanges or views, including on technical matters, shall be facilitated by both Parties.
   Article 18
   In order to ensure the correct application of this Protocol, the Community and Albania offer mutual assistance for the checking of the authenticity and the accuracy of export licences and certificates of origin issued or of any declarations made within the terms of this Protocol.
   Article 19
   Albania shall transmit to the Commission of the European Communities the names and addresses of the authorities competent to issue and verify the export licences and the certificates of origin, together with specimens of the stamps used by these authorities and specimen signatures of officials responsible for signing the export licences and the certificates of origin. Albania shall also notify the Community of any change in this information.
   Article 20
   1.   Subsequent verification of certificates of origin or export licences shall be carried out at random, or whenever the competent Community authorities have reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the certificate or licence or as to the accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the products in question.
   2.   In such cases, the competent authorities in the Community shall return the certificate of origin or the export licence or a copy thereof to the competent Albanian authorities, giving, where appropriate, the reasons of form or substance which justify an enquiry. If the invoice has been submitted, such invoice or a copy thereof shall be attached to the certificate or to the licence or their copies. The authorities shall also forward any information that has been obtained suggesting that the particulars given on the said certificate or licence are inaccurate.
   3.   The provisions of paragraph 1 above shall also apply to subsequent verifications of the declarations of origin provided for in Article 2 of this Protocol.
   4.   The results of the subsequent verifications carried out in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 above shall be communicated to the competent authorities of the Community within three months at the latest. The information communicated shall indicate whether the disputed certificate, licence or declaration, applies to the goods actually exported and whether these goods are eligible for export under the arrangements established by the Agreement. The information shall also include, at the request of the Community, copies of all the documentation necessary to fully determine the facts, and in particular the true origin of the goods.
   Should such verifications reveal systematic irregularities in the use of declarations of origin, the Community may subject imports of the products in question to the provisions of Article 2 (1) of this Protocol.
   5.   For the purpose of subsequent verification of certificates of origin, copies of the certificates as well as any export documents referring to them shall be kept for at least two years by the competent Albanian authorities.
   6.   Recourse to the random verification procedure specified in this Article must not constitute an obstacle to the release for home use of the products in question.
   Article 21
   1.   Where the verification procedure referred to in Article 20 or where information available to the competent authorities of the Community or of Albania indicates or appears to indicate that the provisions of this Agreement are being circumvented or infringed, the two Contracting Parties shall cooperate closely and with the appropriate urgency in order to prevent any such circumvention or infringement.
   2.   To this end, the competent authorities of Albania shall, on their own initiative or at the request of the Community, carry out appropriate inquiries, or arrange for such inquiries to be carried out, concerning operations which are, or appear to the Community to be, in circumvention or infringement of this Protocol. Albania shall communicate the results, of these inquiries to the Community, including any other pertinent information enabling the cause of the circumvention or infringement, including the true origin of the goods to be determined.
   3.   By agreement between the Community and Albania, officials designated by the Community may be present at the inquiries referred to in paragraph 2 above.
   4.   Pursuant to the cooperation referred to in paragraph 1 above, the competent authorities of the Community and Albania shall exchange any information considered by either Contracting Party to be of use in preventing circumvention or infringement of the provisions of this Agreement. These exchanges may include information on the production of textile, products in Albania and on the trade in the type of products covered by this Agreement between Albania and third countries, particularly where the Community has reasonable grounds to consider that the products in question may be in transit across the territory of Albania prior to their importation into the Community. This information may include at the request of the Community copies of all available relevant documentation.
   5.   Where sufficient evidence shows that the provisions of this Protocol have been circumvented or infringed, the competent authorities of Albania and the Community may agree to take the measures set out in Article 6 (4) of the Agreement, and any other measures as are necessary to prevent a recurrence of such circumvention or infringement.

                           (a)
                        
                        
                           fabrics woven on looms operated solely by hand or foot, being fabrics of a kind traditionally made in the cottage industry of Albania;
                        
                     
                           (b)

                           traditional folklore products of Albania made by hand, in a list to be agreed between the Community and Albania.
                        
                     Exemption shall be granted in respect only of products covered by a certificate conforming to the specimen attached to this Protocol and issued by the competent authorities in Albania. These certificates must indicate the reasons justifying their issuance; the competent authorities of the Community will accept them after having checked that the products concerned have fulfilled the conditions established in this Protocol. The certificates concerning the products envisaged in (c) above must bear a stamp „FOLKLORE” marked clearly. In the case of a difference of opinion between the Parties concerning the nature of these products, consultations shall be held within one month in order to resolve these differences.
               Should imports of any product covered by this Protocol reach proportions liable to cause problems within the Community, consultations with Albania shall be initiated as soon as possible, with a view to resolving the situation by the adoption if necessary of a quantitative limit, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 15 of this Agreement.
            
         
               2.
            
            
               The provisions of Titles IV and V of Protocol A shall apply mutatis mutandis to the products covered by paragraph 1 of this Protocol.
            
         Annex to Protocol B

               1.
            
            
               Subject to paragraph 2, only reimports into the Community of products affected by the specific quantitative limits laid down in the Annex to this Protocol shall be considered reimports within the meaning of Article 3 (3) of the Agreement.
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Reimports not covered by the Annex to this Protocol may be made subject to specific quantitative limits following consultations in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 15 of the Agreement, provided the products concerned are subject to quantitative limits pursuant to the Agreement, to a double-checking system or to surveillance measures.
            
         
               3.
            
            
               Having regard to the interests of both Parties, the Community may at its discretion, or in response to a request under Article 15 of the Agreement:
               
                           (a)
                        
                        
                           examine the possibility of transferring from one category to another, using in advance or carrying over from one year to the next, portions of specific quantitative limits;
                        
                     
                           (b)
                        
                        
                           consider the possibility of increasing specific quantitative limits.
                        
                     
         
               4.
            
            
               However, the Community may apply automatically the flexibility rules set out in paragraph 3 above within the following limits:
               
                           (a)
                        
                        
                           transfers between categories may not exceed 20 % the quantity for the category to which the transfer is made;
                        
                     
                           (b)
                        
                        
                           carry-over of a specific quantitative limit from one year to the next may not exceed 10,5 % of the quantity set for the year of actual utilization;
                        
                     
                           (c)
                        
                        
                           advance use of specific quantitative limits from one year to another may not exceed 7,5 % of the quantity set for the year of actual utilization.
                        
                     
         
               5.
            
            
               The Community shall inform Albania of any measures taken pursuant to the preceding paragraphs.
            
         
               6.
            
            
               The competent authorities in the Community shall debit the specific quantitative limits referred to in paragraph 1 at the time of issue of the prior authorization required by Council Regulation (EEC) No 636/82 which governs economic outward processing arrangements. A specific quantitative limit shall be debited for the year in which a prior authorization is issued.
            
         
               7.
            
            
               A certificate of origin made out by the organizations authorized to do so under Albanian law shall be issued, in accordance with Protocol A to the Agreement, for all products covered by this Protocol. This certificate shall bear a reference to the prior authorization mentioned in paragraph 6 above as evidence that the processing operation it describes has been carried out in Albania.
            
         
               8.
            
            
               The Community shall provide Albania with the names and addresses of, and specimens of the stamps used by, the competent authorities of the Community which issue the prior authorizations referred to in paragraph 6 above.
            
         
               9.
            
            
               Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraphs 1 to 8 above, Albania and the Community shall continue consultations with a view to seek a mutually acceptable solution enabling both Contracting Parties to benefit from the Agreement's provisions on outward processing traffic and so ensure the effective development of trade in textile products between Albania and the Community.

   The annual growth rate for the quantitative limits which may be introduced under Article 5 of the Agreement for the products covered by the Agreement shall be fixed by Agreement between the Parties in accordance with the consultation procedures established in Article 15 of the Agreement.
   Agreed Minute No 1
   In the context of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Albania on trade in textile and clothing products, initialled at Brussels on 15 June 1993, the Parties agreed that Article 5 of the Agreement does not preclude the Community, if the conditions are fulfilled, from applying the safeguard measures for one or more of its regions in conformity with the principles of the internal market.
   In such an event, Albania shall be informed in advance of the relevant provisions of Protocol A to the Agreement to be applied, as appropriate.
   
      
         
            For the Government of the Republic of Albania
         
      
      
         
            For the Council of the European Communities
         
      
   
   Agreed Minute No 2
   Nothwithstanding Article 7 (1) of this Agreement, for imperative technical or administrative reasons or to find a solution to economic problems resulting from regional concentration of imports, or in order to combat circumvention and fraud of the provisions of this Agreement, the Community will establish for a limited period of time a specific management system in conformity with the principles of the internal market.
   However, if the Parties are unable to reach a satisfactory solution during the consultations provided for in Article 7 (3), Albania undertakes, if so requested by the Community, to respect temporary export limits for one or more regions of the Community. In such a case, these limits shall not preclude the importation into the region(s) concerned of products which were shipped from Albania on the basis of export licences obtained before the date of formal notification to Albania by the Community about the introduction of the above limits.
   The Community shall inform Albania of the technical and administrative measures, such as defined in the attached note verbale, that need to be introduced by both Parties in order to implement the above paragraphs in conformity with the principles of the internal market.

   Agreed Minute No 3
   In the context of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Albania on trade in textile and clothing products, initialled at Brussels on 15 June 1993, the Parties agreed that Albania shall endeavour not to deprive certain regions of the Community which have traditionally had relatively small shares of Community quotas of imports of products serving as inputs for their processing industry.
   The Community and Albania further agreed to hold consultations, should the need arise, in order to avert any problems which might occur in this respect.
   
      
         
            For the Government of the Republic of Albania

   Agreed Minute No 4
   In the context of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Albania on trade in textile and clothing products, initialled at Brussels on 15 June 1993, Albania agreed that, from the date of request for and pending the consultations referred to in Article 7 (3), it shall cooperate by not issuing export licences that would further aggravate the problems resulting from the regional concentration of direct imports into the Community.
   
      
         
            For the Government of the Republic Albania

   Exchange of notes
   The Directorate-General for External Relations of the Commission of the European Communities presents its compliments to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Albania and has the honour to refer to the Agreement on textile products between Albania and the Community initialled at Brussels on 15 June 1993.
   The Directorate-General wishes to inform the Ministry that whilst awaiting the completion of the necessary procedures for the conclusion and the coming into force of the Agreement, the Community is prepared to allow the provisions of the Agreement to apply de facto from 1 January 1993. This is on the understanding that either Party may at any time terminate this de facto application of the Agreement provided that 120 days' notice is given.
   The Directorate-General for External Relations would be grateful if the Ministry would confirm its Agreement to the foregoing.
   The Directorate-General for External Relations avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Albania the assurance of its highest consideration.
