                                                          PROTOCOL B
             The annual growth rate for the quantitative limits intrgduced under Article 7 of the Agreement shall be
             determined as follows :
            For products in categories falling within Group I , II or III , the growth rate shall be fixed by agreement
             between the Parties in accordance with the consultation procedure established in Article 14 of the
            Agreement. Such growth rate may in no case be lower than the highest rate applied to corresponding
            products under bilateral agreements concluded under the Geneva Arrangement between the
            Community and other third countries having a level of trade equal to or comparable with that of Hong
            Kong.
                                             Joint Declaration concerning Article 10
             1.     The Community and Hong Kong note the well-established and close cooperation which exists
            between the two parties in preventing and dealing with problems relating to the contravention through
            circumvention of the provisions of previous Agreements between the Community and Hong Kong,
            and , in particular, the mutually satisfactory solutions which have been reached on equivalent debiting
            of the corresponding quantitative limits established under those previous Agreements.
            2.      The two parties reaffirm their willingness to strengthen this cooperation in all its aspects having
            regard to the administrative and technical procedures in force in the Community and Hong Kong for
            the implementation of this Agreement.
            3.      Hong Kong confirms that its export control system permits the prompt debiting of circumvented
            amounts to the appropriate quantitative limits established under this and previous Agreements
            between the Community and Hong Kong.
            4.      In agreeing to the provisions of Article 10, the Community and Hong Kong also agree, in the
            light of the foregoing, that for practical and specific reasons, paragraph 3 of that Article shall , as a
            general rule, be implemented in the following manner:
            — where the evidence provided clearly establishes that the provisions of this Agreement have been
                 circumvented, Hong Kong undertakes, at the request of the Community, to debit the
                 circumvented amounts tó the appropriate quantitative limits for the year in which the
                 circumvention took place or for subsequent years, the timing and apportioning of such debiting
                 being decided in consultation with the Community, to ensure that, where appropriate, such
                 debiting may be satisfactorily implemented .
            5.      In respect of circumvention arising from imports into the Community before 1 January 1987 ,
            the following shall apply:
            — requests concerning imports from 1 January 1983 shall be dealt with under the terms of Article 1 0
                 of this Agreement and this Joint Declaration .
            6.      Should the consultation period provided for in Article 14 ( 1 ) be insufficient to complete the
            examination of the evidence adduced the parties may agree to extend that period .
                                      Declaration concerning Article 2 ( 3 ) of the Agreement
            The Community declares that, if any amendment is made to the rules of origin referred to in Article 2
            (3 ) of the Agreement, the Community shall , with the agreement of Hong Kong, take appropriate

              measures to avoid any possible consequent reduction of Hong Kong's ability to use the quantitative
              limits established in Annex II of the present Agreement.
              The Community further declares that any amendment made to the abovementioned rules shall
              continue to be based on criteria not requiring, in order to confer originating status , more extensive
              operations than those constituting a single complete process.
                                                            Agreed Minute
              With reference to Article 12 ( 3 ) of the Agreement on trade in textiles between the European Economic
              Community and Hong Kong initialled on 2 October 1986 , it is understood that the percentage for the
              fifth year of the application of the Agreement will be at least equal to the percentage applicable in the
              fourth year.

                                                            Agreed Minute
              The Community and Hong Kong agree that:
              — carryover to the quantitative limits for the year 1987 of quantities not used in 1986 is authorized
                   up to 2 % on the corresponding quantitative limits for 1987 for Group I and up to 3 % for other
                   Groups ,
              — advance use of a portion of quantitative limits for 1987 is authorized for any quantitative limit for
                   the year 1986 up to 2 % for Group I and up to 3 % for other Groups , subject to an agreement of the
                   two Parties establishing the de /tfcfo-application  of the new bilateral agreement .
