                        Explanatory Memorandum
   Proposal for a Council Regulation on the opening of supplementary
   quotas for imports into the Community of certain textile products
   originating in certain third countries participating in Trade Fairs
1. Like in previous years the Federal Republic of Germany has
   submitted to the Commission a request for supplementary quotas for
   imports of textile products from certain third countries to be used
   for contracts to be concluded at the Berlin Fairs in 1993. The
   Commission has authorized in the past these supplementary quotas on
   the basis of Art. 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) nr. 4136/86, which
   expired at the end of 1992. Pending a new Council Regulation which
   will cover all management aspects of the extended bilateral
   textiles agreements, the provisional application of which has been
   decided by the Council after conclusion of the negotiations with
   the third countries on 21 December 1992, a specific Council
   Regulation instead of a Commission Regulation is exceptionally
   necessary this year in order to open supplementary quotas for the
   Berlin Fairs in addition to those laid down in Annex II of the
   Council Regulation (EEC)/g6-8/93.
2. It is proposed to accept for this year again the German request
   taking into account in particular that the agreement with the
   biggest textiles and clothing supplier of the Community, the
   People's Republic of China, continues to contain supplementary
   quotas for fairs and that a discrimination of other suppliers
   should be avoided.
   Moreover such supplementary quotas are a demonstration of the
   Community's willingness to promote the development of trade
   relations with the Eastern European countries and with developping
   countr ies.
3. As there have been no requests for supplementary quotas for 1993
   for other fairs in the Community the proposal covers only the
   BerI in Fairs.
4. The level of the proposed supplementary quotas is identical to
   those granted last year, except for Vietnam with which an agreement
   has been concluded in the meantime.
5. Given the Community's textiles regime within the framework of the
   common commercial policy the proposed measure is a matter of
   exclusive Community competence.
