                                            (A) Letter from the European Communities
               Sir ,
               Recognizing the importance of mutually satisfactory solutions in steel trade by the European
               Coal and Steel Community and the European Economic Community (hereinafter referred to
               as 'the EC') and the Government of the United States of America (hereinafter referred to as
               'the US'), as attained by the Arrangement concerning trade in certain steel products between
               the ECSC and the US on 21 October 1982 ( hereinafter referred to as ' 1982 Arrangement'),
               noting the forthcoming reassessment of the EC steel policy in light of the restructuring effort
               already achieved and still continuing, as well as the importance to the US of President
               Reagan's steel programme for stability in world steel trade , we are writing you this letter
               to record agreement on the following complementary Arrangement to the 1982
               Arrangement:
                                                    Complementary Arrangement
               1 . ( a ) The EC will restrain each category of complementary Arrangement products
                           exported to the USA during the restraint period to quantities no greater than the
                           following export ceilings :
                                     Product                                    Export ceiling (short tons)
                                      1 . Alloy wire rod                                    9 241
                                      2 . Round and flat wire                             73 090
                                      3 . Wire products                                     5 164
                                      4 . Black plate                                     23 856
                                      5 . Electrical sheet and strip                      10 870
                                      6 . Tin-free steel                                  17 498
                                      7 . Cold-rolled strip                               13 393
                                      8 . Cold-finished and other bar                     32 275
                                      9 . Bar shapes under 3 inches                         9 212
                                     10 . Concrete reinforcing bars                           780
                                     11 . Rail products                                     2 538
                     ( b ) The specific product export ceilings provided for in subparagraph ( a ) may be
                           adjusted by the EC with notice to the US . Adjustments to increase the volume of one
                           product export ceiling must be offset by an equivalent volume reduction in another
                           product export ceiling under subparagraph ( a ) or Article 4 of the 1982 Arrangement
                           for the same period . Notwithstanding the preceding sentences , no adjustment may be
                           made under this paragraph which results in an increase or a decrease in a specific
                           product export ceiling by more than five ( 5 ) % by volume for the restraint period .
                           The EC and the US may agree to increase the above percentage limit . Normally , only
                           one change in a specific export ceiling may be made during the restraint period by an
                           adjustment under this subparagraph . Accordingly , more than one such change may
                           be made only upon agreement between the EC and the US .
               2 . ( a ) Where complementary Arrangement products imported into the USA are
                           subsequently re-exported therefrom , without having been subject to substantial
                           transformation , the export ceiling for such products shall be increased by the same
                           amount .
                     ( b ) For the purposes of this complementary Arrangement , the USA shall comprise both
                           the US customs territory and US foreign trade zones . In consequence the entry into
                           the US customs territory of Arrangement products which have already entered into a
                           foreign trade zone shall not then be again taken into account as imports of
                           complementary Arrangement products .

            3 . ( a ) By Decisions and Regulations to be published in the Official Journal of the European
                      Communities , the EC will require an export licence for all complementary
                      Arrangement products . Such export licences will be issued in a manner that will
                      avoid abnormal concentrations in exports of complementary Arrangement products
                      to the USA taking into account seasonal trade patterns . The EC shall take such
                      action , including the imposition of penalties , as may be necessary to make effective
                      the obligations resulting from the export licences . The EC will inform the US of any
                      violations concerning the export licences which come to its attention and the action
                      taken with respect thereto .
                      Export licences will provide that shipment must be made within a period of three
                      months . Export licences will be issued against each export ceiling for the restraint
                      period .
                ( b ) The EC will require that complementary Arrangement products shall be
                      accompanied by a certificate substantially in the form set out in Appendix C to the
                      1982 Arrangement, endorsed in relation to such a licence . The US shall require
                      presentation of such certificate as a condition for entry into the USA of the
                      complementary Arrangement products . The US shall prohibit entry of such products
                      not accompanied by such a certificate .
                (c ) Prior to 1 October 1985 , the EC shall not issue export licences and certificates for
                      more than three-fifths of the export ceiling of each complementary Arrangement
                      product .
                      However, all complementary Arrangement products exported after 31 July 1985 and
                      before 12 August 1985 shall be permitted to enter the USA upon presentation of
                      certificates issued by the EC after such products were exported . Such certificates , and
                      the licences to which they are endorsed , shall be specially marked. Applications for
                      such licences and certificates must be received by the EC from exporters before
                      15 September 1985 .
                If the quantity of a complementary Arrangement product covered by export licences and
                certificates before 1 October 1985 exceeds three-fifths of the export ceiling for such
                product, then the quantity of such product that exceeds three-fifths of such ceiling shall
                be deducted either from the unexported quantity remaining under the export ceiling for
                such product or from the unexported quantity remaining under the export ceilings for
                other complementary Arrangement products , or from the unexported quantity remaining
                under the export ceilings for Arrangement products under the 1982 Arrangement, or
                from the unexported quantity remaining under the export limit for pipes and tubes under
                the exchange of letters of 10 January 1985 , as determined by the EC and the US at the
                latest by 20 October 1985 .
                The EC will not issue export licences or certificates against the remaining two-fifths of
                the complementary Arrangement product export ceilings until after 20 October 1985
                and will not issue such licences and certificates for any quantities deducted under this
                paragraph .
                 If any exports subject to this complementary Arrangement are not known and accounted
                 for under the procedure of this subparagraph then such exports will be counted against
                 available export ceilings , after consultations , in the same manner as provided in this
                 subparagraph .
            4 . At the request of the EC , the US and the EC will examine the supply and demand
                 situation in the USA for each of the products listed in Appendix A. If the US in
                 consultation with the EC determines that because of abnormal supply or demand
                 factors , the US steel industry will be unable to meet demand in the USA for a particular
                 product ( including substantial objective evidence such as allocation , extended delivery
                periods , or other relevant factors) an additional tonnage shall be allowed for such
                 product or products by a special issue of licences limited to 10 % of the EC's unadjusted
                 export ceiling for that product or products . In extraordinary circumstances as
                 determined by the US in consultation with the EC , the US will increase the allowable
                level of special licences .
                 Each authorized special issue export licence and certificate derived therefrom shall be so
                 marked . Each such licence must be used within 180 days after the start of the quarter
                 when that special issue began.
            5 . The EC will within one month of each quarter and for the first time by 1 September
                  1985 supply the US with such non-confidential information on all export licences issued
 ---pagebreak--- Nr . L 215 / 4                                   De Europæiske Fællesskabers Tidende                                        12 . 8 . 85
                      for complementary Arrangement products as is required for the proper functioning of
                      this complementary Arrangement.
                      The US will collect and transmit quarterly to the EC all non-confidential information
                      relating to certificates received during the preceding quarter or part thereof in respect of
                      the complementary Arrangement products , and relating to actions taken in respect of
                      complementary Arrangement products for violations of customs laws .
                6 . Consultations shall take place between the EC and the US at any time on any matter
                      arising out of the operation of this complementary Arrangement including trends in the
                      importation of certain steel products within the meaning of Article 3 ( b ) of the 1982
                      Arrangement which impair or threaten to impair the attainment of the objectives of this
                      complementary Arrangement . In particular, if imports from the EC of such certain steel
                      products other than Arrangement products within the meaning of Article 1 of the 1982
                      Arrangement , complementary Arrangement products or alloy complementary
                      Arrangement products show a significant increase indicating the possibility of diversion
                      of trade from Arrangement products or complementary Arrangement products to certain
                      steel products other than Arrangement products or complementary Arrangement
                      products or from carbon to alloy within the same complementary Arrangement product,
                      consultations will be held between the US and the EC with the objective of preventing
                      such diversion , taking account of the EC 1981 US market-share levels .
                      Should these consultations demonstrate that there has indeed been a diversion of trade
                      which is such as to impair the attainment of the objectives of the complementary
                      Arrangement , then within 60 days of the request for consultations both sides will take
                      the necessary measures for the products concerned in order to prevent such a diversion .
                      For alloy complementary Arrangement products , such measures will include the creation
                      of separate products for purposes of paragraph 1 ( a ) at the 1981 US market-share level .
                      For certain steel products other than Arrangement products or complementary
                      Arrangement products , such measures may include the creation of products for purposes
                      of paragraph 1 ( a).
                      Consultations will also be held if there are indications that imports from third countries
                      are replacing imports from the EC .
               7 . If, during the restraint period , any petition seeking import relief under US law , including
                      Section 337 ( 1 ) and Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 , Sections 201 or 301 of the Trade
                     Act of 1974 (other than Section 301 petitions relating to third-country sales by US
                     exporters), or Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 , is filed or investigations
                     initiated or litigation ( including anti-trust litigation ) instituted with respect to
                     complementary Arrangement products , then the EC shall be entitled to terminate this
                     Arrangement with respect to some or all of the complementary Arrangement products
                      after consultation with the US , at the earliest, 15 days after such consultations begin .
                8 . This complementary Arrangement shall apply to the US customs territory (except as
                      otherwise provided in paragraph 2 (b)) and to the territories to which the Treaty
                      establishing the European Economic Community as presently constituted applies on the
                      conditions laid down in that Treaty .
               9 . For purpoises of this complementary Arrangement , the term :
                     ( a) 'Complementary Arrangement product' means products described in Appendix A to
                          this complementary Arrangement that are the product of the Community and that
                          are exported to , or destined for consumption in , the USA;
                     (b) 'restraint period' means the period 1 August 1985 through 31 December 1985 ;
                          and
                    ( c) 'USA' shall mean the customs territory of the United States and US foreign trade
                          zones .
                    We hereby confirm the agreement of the EC to the foregoing, and should be grateful if
                    you would acknowledge receipt of this letter and confirm your Government's agreement
                    to its content .
               (') With respect to any Section 337 investigation , the parties shall consult to determine the basis for the

            Sir ,
            I have the honnour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of today's date which reads as
            follows :
                  'Recognizing the importance of mutually satisfactory solutions in steel trade by the
               , European Coal and Steel Community and the European Economic Community
                  ( hereinafter referred to as "the EC") and the Government of the United States of America
                  ( hereinafter referred to as "the US", as attained by the Arrangement concerning trade in
                  certain steel products between the ECSC and the US on 21 October 1982 (hereinafter
                  referred to as " 1982 Arrangement"), noting the forthcoming reassessment of the EC steel
                  policy in light of the restructuring effort already achieved and still continuing , as well as
                  the importance to the US of President Reagan's steel programme for stability in world
                  steel trade , we are writing you this letter to record agreement on the following
                  complementary Arrangement to the 1982 Arrangement:
                                               COMPLEMENTARY ARRANGEMENT
                  1 . ( a ) The EC will restrain each category of complementary Arrangement products
                              exported to the USA during the restraint period to quantities no greater than the
                              following export ceilings:
                                        Product                                Export ceiling (short tons)
                                         1 . Alloy wire rod                                 9 241
                                         2 . Round and flat wire                          73 090
                                         3 . Wire products                                  5 164
                                         4 . Black plate                                  23 856
                                         5 . Electrical sheet and strip                    10 870
                                         6 . Tin-free steel                                17 498
                                         7 . Cold-rolled strip                             13 393
                                         8 . Cold-finished and other bar                  32 275
                                         9 . Bar shapes under 3 inches                      9 212
                                        10 . Concrete reinforcing bars                        780
                                        11 . Rail products                                  2 538
                       ( b ) The specific product export ceilings provided for in subparagraph ( a) may be
                              adjusted by the EC with notice to the US . Adjustments to increase the volume of
                              one product export ceiling must be offset by an equivalent volume reduction in
                              another product export ceiling under subparagraph ( a) or Article 4 of the 1982
                             Arrangement for the same period . Notwithstanding the preceding sentences , no
                             adjustment may be made under this paragraph which results in an increase or a
                             decrease in a specific product export ceiling by more than five ( 5 ) percent by
                             volume for the restraint period .
                             The EC and the US may agree to increase the above percentage limit. Normally ,
                             only one change in a specific export ceiling may be made during the restraint
                             period by an adjustment under this suparagraph . Accordingly, more than one
                             such change may be made only upon agreement between the EC and the US .
                  2 . ( a ) Where complementary Arrangement products imported into the USA are
                             subsequently re-exported therefrom , without having been subject to substantial
                             transformation , the export ceiling for such products shall be increased by the
                             same amount .
                      ( b ) For the purposes of this complementary Arrangement , the USA shall comprise
                             both the US customs territory and US foreign trade zones. In consequence the
                             entry into the US customs territory of Arrangement products which have already
                             entered into a foreign trade zone shall not then be again taken into account as
                             imports of complementary Arrangement products .

              3 . ( a ) By Decisions and Regulations to be published in the Official Journal of the
                        European Communities, the EC will require an export licence for all
                        complementary Arrangement products . Such export licences will be issued in a
                        manner that will avoid abnormal concentrations in exports of Complementary
                        Arrangement products to the USA taking into account seasonal trade patterns.
                        The EC shall take such action , including the imposition of penalties, as may be
                        necessary to make effective the obligations resulting from the export licences. The
                        EC will inform the US of any violations concerning the export licences which
                        come to its attention and the action taken with respect thereto .
                        Export licences will provide that shipment must be made within a period of three
                        months . Export licences will be issued against each export ceiling for the restraint
                        period .
                  (b ) The EC will require that complementary Arrangement products shall be
                        accompanied by a certificate substantially in the form set out in Appendix C to
                        the 1982 Arrangement , endorsed in relation to such a licence. The US shall
                        require presentation of such certificate as a condition for entry into the USA of
                        the complementary Arrangement products . The US shall prohibit entry of such
                        products not accompanied by such a certificate.
                   (c) Prior to 1 October 1985 , the EC shall not issue export licences and certificates
                        for more than three-fifths of the export ceiling of each complementary
                        Arrangement product .
                        However, all complementary Arrangement products exported after 31 July 1985
                        and before 12 August 1985 shall be permitted to enter the USA upon
                        presentation of certificates issued by the EC after such products were exported .
                        Such certificates , and the licences to which they are endorsed , shall be specially
                        marked . Applications for such licences and certificates must be received by the
                        EC from exporters before 15 September 1985 .
                        If the quantity of a complementary Arrangement product covered by export
                        licences and certificates before 1 October 1985 exceeds three-fifths of the export
                        ceiling for such product , then the quantity of such product , that exceeds three­
                        fifths of such ceiling shall be deducted either from the unexported quantity
                        remaining under the export ceiling for such product or from the unexported
                        quantity remaining under the export ceilings for other complementary
                        Arrangement products , or from the unexported quantity remaining under the
                        export ceilings for Arrangement products under the 1982 Arrangement, or from
                        the unexported quantity remaining under the export limit for pipes and tubes
                        under the exchange of letters of 10 January 1985 , as determined by the EC and
                        the US at the latest by 20 October 1985 .
                        The EC will not issue export licences or certificates against the remaining two­
                        fifths of the complementary Arrangement product export ceilings until after
                        20 October 1985 and will not issue such licences and certificates for any
                        quantities deducted under this paragraph .
                        If any exports subject to this Complementary Arrangement are not known and
                        accounted for under the procedure of this subparagraph , then such exports will
                        be counted against available export ceilings , after consultations , in the same
                        manner as provided in this subparagraph .
              4 . At the request of the EC , the US and the EC will examine the supply and demand
                   situation in the USA for each of the products listed in Appendix A. If the US in
                   consultation with the EC determines that because of abnormal supply or demand
                  factors , the US steel industry will be unable to meet demand in the USA for a
                  particular product ( including substantial objective evidence such as allocation ,
                  extended delivery periods, or other relevant factors ) an additional tonnage shall be
                  allowed for such product or products by a special issue of licences limited to 10 % of
                  the EC's unadjusted export ceiling for that product or products. In extraordinary
                  circumstances as determined by the US in consultation with the EC , the US will
                  increase the allowable level of special licences .
                  Each authorized special issue export licence and certificate derived therefrom shall be
                  so marked . Each such licence must be used within 180 days after the start of the
                  quarter when that special issue began .
 ---pagebreak--- 12 . 8 . 85                             De Europæiske Fællesskabers Tidende                                      Nr . L 215 / 7
            5 . The EC will within one month of each quarter and for the first time by
                 1 September 1985 supply the US with such non-confidential information an all
                 export licences issued for complementary Arrangement products as is required for the
                 proper functioning of this complementary Arrangement.
                 The US will collect and transmit quarterly to the EC all non-confidential information
                 relating to certificates received during the preceding quarter or part thereof in respect
                 of the complementary Arrangement products , and relating to actions taken in respect
                 of complementary Arrangement products for violations of customs laws .
            6 . Consultations shall take place between the EC and the US at any time on any matter
                 arising out of the operation of this complementary Arrangement including trends in
                 the importation of certain steel products within the meaning of Article 3 (b ) of the
                  1982 Arrangement which impair or threaten to impair the attainment of the
                 objectives of this complementary Arrangement. In particular , if imports from the EC
                 of such certain steel products other than Arrangement products within the meaning
                 of Article 1 of the 1982 Arrangement , complementary Arrangement products or
                 alloy complementary Arrangement products show a significant increase indicating
                 the possibility of diversion of trade from Arrangement products or complementary
                 Arrangement products to certain steel products other than Arrangement products or
                 complementary Arrangement products or from carbon to alloy within the same
                 complementary Arrangement product , consultations will be held between the US and
                 the EC with the objective of preventing such diversion , taking account of the EC
                  1981 US market-share levels .
                 Should these consultations demonstrate that there has indeed been a diversion of
                 trade which is such as to impair the attainment of the objectives of the
                 complementary Arrangement , then within 60 days of the request for consultations
                 both sides will take the necessary measures for the products concerned in order to
                 prevent such a diversion . For alloy complementary Arrangement products , such
                 measures will include the creation of separate products for purposes of paragraph 1
                 ( a ) at the 1981 US market-share level . For certain steel products other than
                 Arrangement products or complementary Arrangement products , such measures may
                 include the creation of products for purposes of paragraph 1 ( a).
                 Consultations will also be held if there are indications that imports from third
                 countries are replacing imports from the EC .
            7 . If, during the restraint period , any petition seeking import relief under US law,
                 including Section 337 ( J ) and Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 , Section 201 or 301
                 of the Trade Act of 1974 ( other than Section 301 petitions relating to third-country
                 sales by US exporters ), or Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 , is filed
                 or investigations initiated or litigation ( including anti-trust litigation) instituted with
                 respect to complementary Arrangement products , then the EC shall be entitled to
                 terminate this Arrangement with respect to some or all of the complementary
                 Arrangement products after consultation with the US , at the earliest , 15 days after
                 such consultations begin .
            8 . This complementary Arrangement shall apply to the US customs territory ( except
                 as otherwise provided in paragraph 2 ( b )) and to the territories to which the Treaty
                 establishing the European Economic Community as presently constituted applies on
                 the conditions laid down in that Treaty .
            9 . For purposes of this complementary Arrangement , the term
                 ( a ) "complementary Arrangement product" means products described in
                       Appendix A to this complementary Arrangement that are the product of the
                       Community and that are exported to , or destined for consumption in , the
                       USA ;
                 ( b ) "restraint period" means the period 1 August 1985 through 31 December
