           in the form of an exchange of letters amending the Agreement between the European Economic
                                   Community and Hong Kong on trade in textile products
                                                           Letter No 1
           Sir ,
           1 . I have the honour to refer to the consultations held on 1 5 and 1 6 July 1 99 1 between our respective
                 delegations for the purpose of amending the Agreement on trade in textile products between the
                 European Economic Community and Hong Kong, initialled on 2 October 1986 and applied since
                 1 January 1987 .
           2. The Parties took accbunt of the fact that the extension of the Arrangement regarding international
                 trade in textiles and its Protocol of 1986 is currently under discussion in Geneva pending the
                 conclusion of the Uruguay Round .
           3 . As a result of these consultations , both Parties agreed to amend Article 16 ( 1 ) of the above
                 Agreement so as to extend the period of application of all the provisions of the Agreement for one
                 more year, i.e. until 31 December 1992 . Consequently , the Parties also agreed to amend Annex II
                 of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits for exports from Hong Kong to the
                 Community of the textile products referred thereto for the year 1992. The modified Annex II is
                 appended to this letter (Appendix ).
           4. The Parties also agreed that as regards Article 12 of the Agreement, the percentage of
                 inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 shall be determined at a later stage .
           5 . Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January 1992
                 and shall remain in force until 31 December 1992 . The Parties agreed that this Agreement shall be
                 applied provisionally from 1 January 1992.
           6. I should be obliged if you would kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government to the
                 foregoing.
           7 . Please accept, Sir , the assurance of my highest consideration.
                                                                                        For the Council

             Sir,
             I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 16 Juli 1991 , which reads as follows:
                  '1 . I have the honour to refer to the consultations held on 15 and 16 July 1991 between our
                        respective delegations for the purpose of amending the Agreement on trade in textile products
                        between the European Economic Community and Hong Kong, initialled on 2 October 1986
                        and applied since 1 January 1987 .
                   2. The Parties took account of the fact that the extension of the Arrangement regarding
                       international trade in textiles and its Protocol of 1986 is currently under discussion in Geneva
                       pending the conclusion of the Uruguay Round .
                   3 . As a result of these consultations , both Parties agreed to amend Article 16 ( 1 ) of the above
                       Agreement so as to extend the period of application of all the provisions of the Agreement for
                       one more year, i.e. until 31 December 1992 . Consequently , the Parties also agreed to amend
                       Annex II of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits for exports from Hong Kong to
                       the Community of the textile products referred thereto for the year 1992 . The modified
                       Annex II is appended to this letter (Appendix ).
                • 4 . The Parties also agreed that as regards Article 12 of the Agreement, the percentage of
                       inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 shall be determined at a later stage.
                  5 . Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January
                       1992 and shall remain in force until 31 December 1992. The Parties agreed that this
                       Agreement shall be applied provisionally from 1 January 1992 .
                  6 . I should be obliged if you would kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government to the
                       foregoing .'
            I have the honour to confirm that my Government is in agreement with the contents of your
            letter .
            Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.
                                                                                For the Government of Hong Kong

           Sir,
           1 . I have the honour to refer to the consultations held on 30 July 1991 between our respective

                European Economic Community and Macao , initialled on 19 July 1986 and applied since 1
                January 1987 .
           2 . As a result of these consultations, both Parties agreed to amend Article 18(1 ) and Protocol F of
                the above Agreement so as to extend the period of application of all the provisions of the
                Agreement for one more year , i.e. until 31 December 1992 . Consequently , the Parties also agreed
                to amend Annex II of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits for exports from Macao to
                the Community of the textile products referred thereto for the year 1992 . The modified Annex II
                is appended to this letter ( Appendix).
           3 . The Parties also agreed that as regards Article 14 ( 3 ) of the Agreement, the percentage of
                inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 shall be determined at a later stage.
           4 . Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January 1992
                and shall remain in force until 31 December 1992 . The Parties agreed that this Agreement shall be
                applied provisionally from 1 January 1992 .
           5 . I should be obliged if you would kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government to the
                foregoing.
           6 . Please accept , Sir , the assurance of my highest consideration .

                   Agreement for the year 1992 shall be 40% .
                   It is understood that if, as a result of the application of the above percentage , serious difficulties,
                   following significant changes in the pattern of trade , occur in certain regions of the Community,
                   both Parties shall hold consultations without delay with a view to reviewing the situation .'

            Sir,
            I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 9 October 1991 , which reads as
            follows :
                 '1 .   I have the honour to refer to the consultations held from 7 to 9 October 1991 between our
                        respective delegations for the purpose of amending the Agreement on trade in textile products
                        between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Thailand , initialled on 28
                        June 1986 and applied since 1 January 1987 .
                  2 . As a result of these consultations , both Parties agreed to amend Article 18(1 ) and Protocol F
                        of the above Agreement so as to extend the period of application of all the provisions of the
                        Agreement for one more year, i.e. until 31 December 1992 . Consequently , the Parties also
                        agreed to amend Annex II and Protocol E of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits
                        for exports from Thailand to the Community of the textile products referred thereto for the
                        year 1992 . The modified Annex II and Protocol E are appended to this letter ( Appendices 1
                        and 2 ).
                  3 . The Parties also agreed that as regards Article 14 (3 ) of the Agreement, the percentage of
                      , inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 is fixed at 40% .
                        It is understood that if as a result of the application of the above percentage serious difficulties ,
                        following significant changes in the pattern of trade, occur in certain regions of the
                        Community , both Parties shall hold consultations without delay with a view to reviewing the
                        situation .
                  4 . Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January
                        1992 and shall remain in force until 31 December 1992 . The Parties agreed that this
                        Agreement shall be applied provisionally from 1 January 1992 .
                  5 . I should be obliged if you would kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government to the
                        foregoing.'
            I have the honour to confirm that my Government is in agreement with the contents of your
            letter .
            Please accept, Sir , the assurance of my highest consideration .
                                                                                         For the Government of the

            in the form of an exchange of letters amending the Agreement between the European Economic
                              Community and the Republic of Korea on trade in textile products

            Sir , .
            1 .. I have the honour to refer to the consultations held on 16 October 1991 between our respective
                 delegations for the purpose of amending the Agreement on trade in textile products between the
                 European Economic Community and the Republic of Korea , initialled on 7 August 1986 and
                 applied since 1 January 1987 .
            2 . As a result of these consultations, both Parties agreed to amend Article 18 ( 1 ) of the above
                 Agreement so as to extend the period of application of all the provisions of the Agreement for one
                 more year , i.e. until 31 December 1992 . Consequently , the Parties also agreed to amend Annex II
                 of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits for exports from the Republic of Korea to the
                 Community of the textile products referred thereto for the year 1992. The modified Annex II is
                 appended to this letter (Appendix).
            3 . The Parties also agreed that as regards Article 14 ( 3 ) of the Agreement, the percentage of
                 inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 is fixed at 40% .
                 It is understood that if as a result of the application of the above percentage serious difficulties ,
                 following significant changes in the pattern of trade, occur in certain regions of the Community ,
                 both Parties shall hold consultations without delay with a view to remedying the situation.
            4 . Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January 1992
                 and shall remain in force until 31 December 1992 . The Parties agreed that this Agreement shall be
                 applied provisionally from 1 January 1992 .
            5 . I should be obliged if you would kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government to the
                 foregoing.
            6 . Please accept, Sir , the assurance of my highest consideration .

           Sir,
           I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 16 October 1991 , which reads as
           follows :
                '1 . I have the honour to refer to the consultations held on 16 October 1991 between our
                      respective delegations for the purpose of amending the Agreement on trade in textile products
                      between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Korea, initialled on 7
                      August 1986 and applied since 1 January 1987 .
                 2 . As a result of these consultations , both Parties agreed to amend Article 18 ( 1 ) of the above
                      Agreement so as to extend the period of application of all the provisions of the Agreement for
                      one more year, i.e. until 31 December 1992 . Consequently , the Parties also agreed to amend
                      Annex II of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits for exports from the Republic of
                      Korea to the Community of the textile products referred thereto for the year 1992 . The
                      modified Annex II is appendecj to this letter (Appendix).
                 3 . The Parties also agreed that as regards Article 14 (3 ) of the Agreement , the percentage of
                      inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 is fixed at 40% .
                      It is understood that if as a result of the application of the above percentage serious difficulties ,
                      following significant changes in the pattern of trade, occur in certain regions of the
                    - Community , both Parties shall hold consultations without delay with a view to remedying the
                      situation .
                 4. Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January
                      1992 and shall remain in force until 31 December 1992 . The Parties agreed that this
                      Agreement shall be applied provisionally from 1 January 1992 .
                 5. I should be obliged if you would kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government to the
                      foregoing.'
           I have the honour to confirm that my Government is in agreement with the contents of your
           letter .
           Please accept, Sir , the assurance of my highest consideration.

                 to amend Annex II and Protocol E of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits for exports
                 from Malaysia to the Community of the textile products referred thereto for the year 1992 . The

                 inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 is fixed at 40% .

                 following significant changes in the pattern of trade, occur in certain regions of the Community ,
                 both Parties shall hold consultations without delay with a view to reviewing the situation .
            4 . Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January 1992
                 and shall remain in force until 31 December 1992 . The Parties agreed that this Agreement shall be

             Sir,
             I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 8 November 1991 , which reads as
             follows :
                 '1 . I have the honour to refer to the consultations held on 7 and 8 November 1991 between our
                       respective delegations for the purpose of amending the Agreement on trade in textile products
                       between the European Economic Community and Malaysia , initialled on 28 June 1986 and
                       applied since 1 January 1987 .
                  2 . As a result of these consultations , both Parties agreed to amend Article 18(1 ) and Protocol F
                      of the above Agreement so as to extend the period of application of all the provisions of the
                      Agreement for one more year, i.e until 31 December 1992 . Consequently, the Parties also
                      agreed to amend Annex II and Protocol E of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits
                      for exports from Malaysia to the Community of the textile products referred thereto for the
                      year 1992 . The modified Annex II and Protocol E are appended to this letter (Appendices 1
                      and 2 ).
                  3 . The Parties also agreed that as regards Article 14 ( 3 ) of the Agreement, the percentage of
                      inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 is fixed at 40% .
                      It is understood that if as a result of the application of the above percentage serious difficulties ,
                      following significant changes in the pattern of trade , occur in certain regions of the
                      Community , both Parties shall hold consultations without delay with a view to reviewing the
                      situation .
                  4 . Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January
                      1992 and shall remain in force until 31 December 1992 . The Parties agreed that this
                      Agreement shall be applied provisionally from 1 January 1992 .
                  5 . I should be obliged if you would kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government to the
                      foregoing.'
            I have the honour to confirm that my Government is in agreement with the contents of your
            letter .
            Please accept , Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration .

           Sir,
           1 . I have the honour to refer to the consultations held on 23 and 24 September 1991 between our
                respective delegations for the purpose of amending the Agreement on trade in textile products
                between the European Economic Community and the Republic of the Philippines , initialled on

           2 . As a result of these consultations, both Parties agreed to amend Article 18(1 ) and Protocol F of
                the above Agreement so as to extend the period of application of all the provisions of the
                Agreement for one more year, i.e. until 31 December 1992 . Consequently, the Parties also agreed
                to amend Annex II and Protocol E of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits for exports
                from the Philippines to the Community of the textile products referred thereto for the year 1992 ..
                The modified Annex II and Protocol E are appended to this letter (Appendices 1 and 2).
           3 . The Parties also agreed that as regards Article 14 (3 ) of the Agreement, the percentage of
                inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 is fixed at 40% .
                It is understood that if as a result of the application of the above percentage serious difficulties ,
                following significant changes in the pattern of trade , occur in certain regions of the Community ,
                both Parties shall hold consultations without delay with a view to reviewing the situation .
           4 . Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January 1992

             Sir,
             I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 12 November 1991 , which reads as
             follows:
                 '1 . I have the honour to refer to the consultations held on 23 and 24 September 1991 between our
                      respective delegations for the purpose of amending the Agreement on trade in textile products
                      between the European Economic Community and the Republic of the Philippines, initialled
                      on 28 June 1986 and applied since 1 January 1987 .
                  2 . As a result of these consultations, both Parties agreed to amend Article 18(1 ) and Protocol F
                      of the above Agreement so as to extend the period of application of all the provisions of the
                      Agreement for one more year, i.e. until 31 December 1992 . Consequently , the Parties also
                      agreed to amend Annex II and Protocol E of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits
                      for exports from the Philippines to the Community of the textile products referred thereto for
                      the year 1992 . The modified Annex II and Protocol E are appended to this letter
                      (Appendices 1 and 2).
                  3 . The Parties also agreed that as regards Article 14 ( 3 ) of the Agreement, the percentage of
                      inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 is fixed at 40% .
                      It is understood that if as a result of the application of the above percentage serious difficulties,
                      following significant changes in the pattern of trade , occur in certain regions of the
                      Community , both Parties shall hold consultations without delay with a view to reviewing the
                      situation .
                  4 . Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January
                      1992 and shall remain in force until 31 December 1992 . The Parties agreed that this
                      Agreement shall be applied provisionally from 1 January 1992 .
                  5 . I should be obliged if you would kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government to the
                      foregoing .''
            I have the honour to confirm that my Government is in agreement with the contents of your
            letter.
            Please accept, Sir , the assurance of my highest consideration .
                                                                                       For the Government of the

             Sir ,
             I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of today's date, which reads as follows:
                  ' 1 . I have the honour to refer to the consultations held on 21 November 1991 between our
                         respective delegations for the purpose of amending the Agreement on trade in textile products
                         between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Bulgaria, initialled on
                         11 July 1986 and applied since 1 January 1987 , amended by the Agreed Minute initialled on
                        28 November 1990 and applied since 1 January 1992 .
                   2 . As a result of these consultations , both Parties agreed to amend Article 17 ( 1 ) of the above
                        Agreement so as to extend the period of application of all the provisions of the Agreement for
                        one more year , i.e. until 31 December 1992 . Consequently, the Parties also agreed to amend
                        the following provisions:
                        — Annex II of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits for exports from the Republic
                              of Bulgaria to the Community of the textile products referred thereto ,
                        — the Annex of Protocol E of the Agreement, as regards the quantitative limits for reimports
                              into the Community of textile products after processing , manufacturing or working in
                              Bulgaria.
                        The amended Annexes are appended as Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 respectively .
                   3 . The Parties also agreed that as regards Article 13 ( 3 ) of the Agreement , the percentage of
                        inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 is fixed at 40% .
                        It is understood that if as a result of the application of the above percentage serious difficulties,
                        following significant changes in the pattern of trade, occur in certain regions of the
                        Community, both Parties shall hold consultations without delay with a view to reviewing the
                        situation .
                   4 . Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January
                        1992 and shall remain in force until 31 December 1992 . The Parties agreed that this
                        Agreement shall be applied provisionally from 1 January 1992 .
                   5 . I should be obliged if you would kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government to the
                        foregoing.'

           Sir,
           I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 15 December 1991 , Which reads as
           follows :
               ' 1 . I have the honour to refer to the consultations held on 15 December 1991 between our
                       respective delegations for the purpose of amending the Agreement on trade in textile products
                       between the European Economic Community and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan , initialled
                       on 12 September 1986 and applied since 1 January 1987 .
                 2 . As a result of these consultations , both Parties agreed to amend Article 18 ( 1 ) of the above
                       Agreement so.as to extend the period of application of all the provisions of the Agreement for
                       one more year , i.e. until 31 December 1992 . Consequently , the Parties also agreed to amend
                       Annex II of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits for exports from Pakistan to the
                       Community of the textile products referred thereto for the year 1992 . The modified Annex II
                       and Protocol E are appended to this letter (Appendices 1 and 2 ).
                3 . The Parties also agreed that as regards Article 14 ( 3 ) of the Agreement, the percentage of
                       inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 is fixed at 40% .
                     . It is understood that if as a result of the application of the above percentage serious difficulties ,
                       following significant changes in the pattern of trade, occur in certain regions, of the
                       Community , both Parties shall hold consultations without delay with a view to reviewing the
                       situation .
                4 . Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January
                       1992 and shall remain in force until 31 December 1992 . The Parties agreed that this
                       Agreement shall be applied provisionally from 1 January 1992.
                5 . I should be obliged if you would kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government to the
                       foregoing .'
           I have the honour to confirm that my Government is in agreement with the contents of your
           letter .
           Please accept , Sir , the assurance of my highest consideration .
