                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
                             -------------------------------- -----    t
 1. By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorised the Commission
      to open negotiations with Macao 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
     Macao from 19.7. to 3.12.1982.
     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 Macao;
     (ii) calls for voluntary restraint, at agreed levels, on exports to
            the Community of certain categories of products covered by thp
            Agreement,
     (iii) provides for a consultation procedure whereby voluntary re­
            straint measures may be introduced for categories of products
            not initially subject to limitation, where certain thresholds
            are exceeded,
     (iv) establishes a double checking system for categories of products
            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 cacfegory, 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 Agreement
     on 3rd december 1982 having noted that it correctly represented the
     results of the negotiations.
 3. In order to ensure that the successful implementation of the Agreement
     should not be put at risk and to prevent a flood of exports preceding
     its entry into force, the Community, following the conclusion 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 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 t;hat the Council :
     (i) 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.

 Dear Mr Krenzler,
 1.   During the negotiation;, leading to our Agreement on trade in
      textile products initialled on 3 . 1 2 . 1 9 8 2 / you explained to
      r,e that the EEC would only have recourse to Article 11/
      paragraph 4 as a last resort, and only if all possibilities
      of reaching an agreed solution are exhausted.
2.    In this connection and with a view to minimizing possible
      recourse to Article 11, paragraph 4, Macao is prepared to
      strengthen cooperation having regard to the administration
      and technical procedures in force in the Community and Macao
      for the implementation of this Agreement.
3.   Your also expressed concern regarding circumvention arising
     from imports into the Community before 1st January 1983.
4.   In this regard, Mac.o aruees that the following shall apply:
     - Requests presentedi efc re 1st January 1983 in respect of which
         consultations are continuing as well as requests after that
        date concerning imp ■'•to from 1st January 1982 shall be dealt
        with under the tern·, of Article 11 of this Agreement;
     - requests presented ,,fter 1st January 1983 concerning imports
        from 1st January 198 /., to 31 December 1981 shall be considered
        in a spirit of goodwill and close cooperation with a view to
        arriving at mutually satisfactory solutions.

Further, I should like to p r o p o s e ’that, should the consultation
period provided for in Article 15, paragraph 1 be insufficient
to complete the examination of the evidence adduced the parties
may agree to extend that period.
I should be grateful for your confirmation of the foregoing and that
this letter should constitute an agreement between us.
Yours sincerely,
