      COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1478/2005
   of 12 September 2005
   amending Annexes V, VII and VIII to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries (1), and in particular Articles 8 and 19 thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               On 10 June 2005, the European Commission and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce agreed on a Memorandum of Understanding on the export of certain Chinese textile and clothing products to the European Union. In order to take account of this Memorandum of Understanding the Commission subsequently adopted Regulation (EC) No 1084/2005.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               It is necessary to clarify the destination of shipments to the Community indicated in footnote 3 of the table shown under (b) in Annex V of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, as well as a specific conversion rate for children’s garments for textiles category 4.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               It is necessary to provide for arrangements for the treatment of goods sent out from the Community to China for Processing Traffic (OPT).
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               These arrangements on OPT should be reflected in Annex VII of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               The quantitative limits laid down in the Memorandum of Understanding have been reached for several product categories. As a consequence, a considerable amount of goods are blocked at the Community ports which creates unexpected difficulties for the normal conduct of trade.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               On 5 September 2005, the European Commission and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce concluded consultations on how to deal with the problems caused by exports of textile and clothing from China in excess of the quantities established in the Memorandum of Understanding. As a result it was agreed to provide for additional quantities for the categories concerned and to introduce certain flexibilities.
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               In order to take into account of the arrangement agreed by the European Commission and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce it is necessary to adjust the quantitative limits for imports of textile and clothing products originating in China for 2005 and 2006 and to provide for certain flexibilities. Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               In addition, given the particular circumstances of this situation, it is appropriate to provide for additional quantities in order to allow for the release of all textile and clothing products which are currently blocked.
            
         
               (9)
            
            
               In view of the urgency of the matter, the Regulation should enter into force without delay.
            
         
               (10)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee set up by Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93,

                                 For the purpose of setting off exports against the agreed levels a conversion rate of five garments (other than babies' garments) of a maximum commercial size of 130 cm for three garments whose commercial size exceeds 130 cm may be applied for up to 5 % of the agreed levels.
                                 The export licence concerning these products must bear, in box 9, the words “The conversion rate for garments of a commercial size of not more than 130 cm must be applied”.’
                              
                           
               
            
         (1)  Quantitative restrictions for Serbia do not apply pursuant to the Agreement between the European Community and Serbia on trade in textile products (OJ L 90, 8.4.2005, p. 36). The European Community retains the right to reapply quantitative restrictions under certain circumstances.
      
         (2)  Quantitative restrictions for Vietnam are suspended pursuant to the Agreement between the European Community and the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on market access (OJ L 75, 22.3.2005, p. 35). The European Community retains the right to reapply quantitative restrictions under certain circumstances.
      
         (3)  Imports into the Community of products which were shipped to the Community before 11 June 2005 but presented for free circulation on or after that date shall not be subject to quantitative limits. Import authorisations for such products shall be granted automatically and without quantitative limits by the competent authorities of the Member States, upon adequate proof, such as the bill of lading, and the presentation of a signed declaration by the importer, that the goods have been shipped to the Community before that date. By way of derogation of Article 2(2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, imports of goods shipped before 11 June 2005 shall also be released for free circulation upon the presentation of a surveillance document issued in accordance with Article 10a(2a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.
      Import authorisations for goods shipped to the Community between 11 June 2005 and 12 July shall be granted automatically and cannot be denied on the grounds that there are no quantities available within the 2005 quantitative limits. However, the import of all products shipped from 11 June 2005 will be counted against the 2005 quantitative limits.
      The granting of import authorisations will not require the presentation of the corresponding export licenses for goods shipped to the Community before China has put in place its export licensing system (20 July 2005).
      Applications for import licences for the import, from the date of entry into force of this Regulation, of goods that have been shipped between 11 June 2005 and 19 July 2005 (inclusive) shall be presented to the competent authorities of a Member State no later than 20 September 2005.
      Goods shipped before 12 July do not need to have been shipped directly to the Community to benefit from the exemption of quantitative limits, although the competent authorities of the Community may deny such benefits if they have reasons to suspect that they have been shipped to another destination before 12 July in order to circumvent this Regulation, in case such transactions do not respond to normal business practices or purely logistical reasons. By way of example, are considered as corresponding to a normal conduct of business goods shipped to distribution centres for the importing companies, or when the importer can present a contract or letter of credit preceding the date of shipment, or when the goods have been transhipped outside China onto another means of transport within a reasonably short period of time.
      The increases to the agreed levels introduced by the Regulation (EC) No 1478/2005 are made available to enable the issuance of import licences for goods shipped to the Community between 13 and 19 July 2005, or for goods shipped to the Community after 20 July 2005 with a valid Chinese export licence, which are in excess of the agreed levels introduced by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1084/2005 in Annex V to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.
      Should any goods shipped to the Community between 13 and 19 July 2005 exceed these levels, the Commission may authorise the issuance of further import licences after informing the Textiles Committee, and after effecting the transfer of 2 072 924 kg of products of category 2 as provided for in Annex VIII.
