 ---pagebreak---                     EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Under the Act of Accession of Greece to the European Communities
( Article 123 ), it was agreed that the Community would negotiate
protocols of adaptation to the bilateral agreements on trade in
textile products between the Community and third countries .
By Decision of 1 August 1980 the Council authorised the Commission
to open negotiations with Malaysia to conclude an agreement on
such adaptation .
In accordance with that Council Decision and in consultation with
the Article 113 Committee , the Commission conducted negotiations with
Malaysia from 22.9.1980 to 17.12.1980 .
Following the negotiations , a draft Protocol was drawn up extending
the terms of the original bilateral agreement to trade between
Malaysia and the enlarged Community , thus ( inter alia )
- increasing the existing voluntary restraint levels on exports to the
   whole Community to new agreed levels ,
- extending the existing consultation procedures whereby new voluntary
   restraint measures may be introduced for categories of products not
   at present subject to limitation , where certain thresholds are
  exceeded , in respect of both the whole Community and Greece .
The Heads of Delegation initialled the text of the draft Protocol on
17.12.1980 having noted it correctly represented the results of the
negotiations .
The Protocol has already been implemented by Council Regulation ( EEC )
N° 3553 / 80 of 22 December 1980 ( 1 ) amending the existing regime
established by Regulation ( EEC ) N° 3059/ 78 of 21 December 1978 ( 2 ).
 ---pagebreak--- 5 . The Commission considers that the draft Protocol embodies an arrangement
     which is acceptable to the Community . It therefore recommends that the
                     I
     Council  :
     (i)    approve the Protocol by adopting the Regulation , the draft of
            which is annexed hereto ;
     ( ii ) pending approval of the Protocol , take the necessary decisions
            in connection with the signing thereof .
