 ---pagebreak---                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorised the Commission
to open negotiations with Hungary with a view to the conclusion of an
agreement on trade in textile products.
In accordance with that Council Decision, and in consultation with the
Article    113  Committee,      the   Commission     conducted   negotiations   with
Hungary from 1 June to 23 July 1982.
Following the negotiations, a draft Agreement was drawn up.
The draft Agreement:
 (i)   covers   all   MF A   products    of    cotton wool,   fine animal    hair or
       man-made fibres originating in Hungary,
 (ii)  calls   for voluntary restraint, at agreed levels, on exports to
       the Community of certain categories of products covered by the
       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 category, 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   thedebiting against         the   quota of the     true country of
       origin of quantities shipped fraudulently,
i)     includes a price        clause which allows       the Community to request
       consultations     to    deal  with    problems   caused by abnormally     low
                                                                                   I
       export   prices    and    under    certain circumstances      temporarily to
       suspend imports,

   ^ix)        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.
       Following     the     negotiations,       both    parties     further   concluded    an
       Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters that certain products
       of flax and ramie should be subject to quantitative limits under the
       same   conditions,      and    in  accordance       with   the   same  administrative
       arrangements,     as   the   less   sensitive      products    covered  by the draft
       Agreement on textile trade.
  4.   The Heads of the Delegation initialled the text of the draft Agreement
       and the exchange of letters on flax and ramie products on 23 July 1982
       , having    noted    that   they   correctly represented         the results    of the
       negotiations.
  5.  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 (2).
 5.  The Commission considers that the draft Agreement and the exchange of
     letters on flax and ramie products               represent arrangements which are
     acceptable to the Community. It therefore recommends that the Council:
     (i)     approve the Agreement         and the exchange        of letters by adopting
             the regulation, the draft of which is annexed hereto,
     (xi)   pending approval of the Agreement and the exchange of letters,
            take the      necessary     decisions     in   connection    with   the  signing
            thereof.

 ---pagebreak---                                     Article 5
1.   Should a textile product covered by this Agreement be imported into the
Community from Hungary at prices which are lower than the range of prices
charged under normal conditions of competition, and for this reason cause or
threaten to cause serious injury to Community producers of the same product, a
like product,    or a directly competing product, the Community may invoke
paragraph 5 of the Protocol of Hungary's accession to GATT, and in that event
the following specific provisions shall be applicable.
2.    Consultations shall be held at the request of the Community in order to
ascertain whether the situation described in paragraph 1 exists. If agreement
is reached as to the existence of such a situation, Hungary shall take the
necessary steps to remedy it.
3.    If the consultations referred to above fail to produce agreement within
thirty days of the Community's request for such consultations,         and .should
consignments of the product in question continue to be sent at prices which
are lower than the range of prices charged under normal conditions of
competition,   and for this reason cause or threaten to cause serious injury to
the Community producers referred to in paragraph 1,         the Community,   while
continuing   consultations  with  a  view   to  reaching  a   mutually  acceptable
solution, may refuse to import the said consignments.          Such action may be
continued only for as long as is strictly necessary to prevent or remedy the
situation.
4.   In critical circumstances,   where imports of specific textile products at
prices   below  the   range  of  prices   charged  under   normal   conditions  of
competition could cause injury which it would be difficult to repair,          the

    for consultations is made plus the level of exports laid down in paragraph
    2 during the consultation period, whichever is the higher.

concerned.

lower than the level of       imports   in 1980 of  products   in  that   category
originating in Hungary.
8.    The provisions of this Article also apply where the level referred to in
paragraph 1 is exceeded in any of the Community's regions.      In this case, the

                                        Article 16
    The Community and Hungary shall cooperate closely to implement the provisions
   of the Agreement.     To this end, contacts and exchanges of views (including
   those on technical matters) shall be facilitated by both parties.
                                       Article 17
   In order to ensure the proper application of the Agreement,  the Community and
   Hungary shall assist each other in checking the authenticity and accuracy of
  export licences and certificates of origin issued or declarations made under
  this Protocol.
                                       Article 18
  Hungary shall send the Commission of the European Communities the names and
  addresses of the authorities responsible for issuing export licences and
  certificates of origin together with specimens of the stamps used by these
 authorities.      Hungary shall notify the Commission of any change     in this
  information.
                                      Article 19
 1- Subsequent verification of certificates of origin or export licences shall
 be carried out at random, or whenever the competent Community authorities have
 reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the certificate or licence or as to
the accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the products in
question.
2.     In such cases the competent authorities in the Community shall return the
certificate of origin or export licence or a copy thereof to the competent
authority in Hungary, giving, where appropriate, the reasons of form or
 ---pagebreak---                                     - T 3 -
substance for an enquiry.  If the invoice has been submitted, the invoice or a
copy thereof shall be attached to the certificate or licence or its copy.  The
 ---pagebreak---  authorities shall also provide any information that has been obtained
 suggesting that the particulars given on the said certificate or licence are
  inaccurate.
 3.     The provisions of paragraph 1 shall apply to subsequent verifications of
 the declarations of origin referred to in Article 2 of this Protocol.
 4.   The results of the subsequent verifications carried out in accordance with
 paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be communicated to the competent authorities of the
 Community within three months at the latest.          The information communicated
 shall   indicate  whether the    disputed   certificate,    licence  or   declaration
 applies to the goods actually exported and whether these goods are eligible
 for export in accordance with the arrangements established by the Agreement.
 The information shall also include, at the request of the Community, copies of
 all documentation necessary to determine the full facts, in particular the
 true origin of the goods.
 Should such verifications     reveal   systematic   irregularities   in the    use of
 declarations of origin,     the Community may subject imports of the products
 concerned to the provisions of Article 2(1) of this Protocol.
 5.     For the purpose of subsequent verification of certificates of origin or
export licences, copies of the certificates and any export documents referring
to them shall be kept for at least three years by the competent           authority in
Hungary. 6
6.     Recourse to the random verification procedure referred to in this Article
must not constitute an obstacle to the release for home use of the products in
question.
                                      Article 20
1.    Where the verification procedure referred to in Article 19 or information
obtained by the Community or Hungary       indicate or appear to indicate that the
provisions    of  the  Agreement   have  been   contravened,     both  parties   shall
cooperate closely      and   with   the   appropriate    urgency   to   prevent    such
contravention.
 ---pagebreak--- 2.   To this end any necessary enquiries shall be carried out into   operations
which may be considered to be in contravention of the Agreement.    The results
of these enquiries shall be communicated,   together with any other pertinent
information enabling the true origin of the goods to be determined.
3.   In pursuance of the cooperation referred to in paragraph 1, Hungary ahd
the Community shall exchange any information considered by either partner to
be of use in preventing the contravention of the provisions of the Agreement. 4
 4.    Where it is established that the provisions of the Agreement have been
contravened, Hungary and the Community may agree to take such measures as are
necessary to prevent a recurrence of such contravention.

1.    The exemption provided for in Article 3 of the Agreement in respect of
cottage industry products shall apply only to the following products:
(a) fabrics woven on hand- or foot-operated looms,               being fabrics of a kind
traditionally made in the cottage industry of Hungary;

and appended to this Protocol.
Exemption     shall be granted only for products           accompanied by a certificate
issued by the competent Hungarian authorities in accordance with the specimen
annexed to this Protocol.           Such certificates must state the grounds on which
exemption is based and shall be accepted                   by the competent Community
authorities provided that they           are satisfied      that  the   products  concerned
conform to the conditions set out in this Protocol.                   Certificates for the
products referred to in paragraph (c) must be clearly marked 'FOLKLORE*.                 In
the event of a difference of opinion between                  Hungary    and the competent
 Community authorities at the point of entry into the Community concerning the
nature of the products, consultations shall be held within a month in order to
 settle the difference.        Should imports of any of the above products reach such
proportions as to cause difficulties to the Community, the two Parties shall
enter into consultations in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article
 15 of the Agreement with a view to              finding a quantitative solution to the
 problem.

 At the initialling of the textile Agreement between the European
 Economic Community and the Hungarian People's Republic on trade in
 textile products the Community indicated that special arrangements
 applied to imports into Greece of category 8 products, in accordance
 with the Act of Accession of Greece to the Communities.
 The Hungarian side maintained that the Community could not invoke
 such a provision against Hungary.
 The parties agreed to hold consultations on the matter early in 1983.

  Having regard to Protocol A concerning the procedure for the issue of
  export licences, the Parties have agreed that from the date of entry into
  force of the Agreement, the provisions set out in the attached Annex will
  be applied to Hungary's exports to the Federal Republic of Germany. The
  Community will give consideration to the question of extending the said
 provisions to Hungary's exports to other regions of the Community, and
 will notify Hungary without delay of any measures adopted in this sphere.

              Annex to the Joint Declaration concerning the procedure
                          for the issue of export licences
 1. The competent Hungarian authorities may, at their discretion, issue an
 advance notice of exportation conforming to the specimen mentioned below for
 each contract for the supply of products subject to quantitative limitation
 which are to be exported. The said authorities undertake:
 - to issue, before the shipment of products covered by an advance notice,
    an export licence/export licences, conforming to the specimen annexed
    to Protocol A, and to set off definitively the quantity of goods
    exported against the quantitative limit for the year in which
    exportation takes place,
 - to ensure that the quantity exported does not exceed that specified in
    the advance notice,
- where exportation of goods covered by an advance notice does not take
    place in the course of the year specified in the said notice, to inform
    the competent authorities in the Community of this fact.
2. Where an advance notice has been issued, the number of such notice
shall be indicated on each corresponding export licence.
3. On presentation of an advance notice of exportation, the competent
authorities in the Community shall issue an import authorization or document
in accordance with the provisions of Protocol A, and shall set off the
quantity in question against the corresponding quantitative limit.
4. Where the total quantity or products exported, as indicated in the
export licence(s), is lower than that shown in the corresponding advance
notice, or where goods covered by an advance notice have not been or will
not be exported in the course of the year specified in that notice, the
competent authorities in the Community are required to take account of
such circumstances for the purpose of calculating the imports to be set off
against the relevant quantitative limits.

In answer to a question from the Hungarian delegation concerning
the breakdown of quantitative limits into quota shares for the
Community Member States, the Community delegation w o u l d stress
that the general consultation clause in Article 15(3) can also
be invoked in connection with a modification of the regional
allocation of quantitative limits, as indicated in Article        14(2)
of the Agreement.

 In the course of the negotiations bet w e e n the Community a nd Hung a r y

region of the Community, namely France.
