 ---pagebreak---                                EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.   By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorised the Commission
     to open negotiations with Malaysia with a view to the conclusion of an
     agreement on trade in textile products.
2.   In accordance with that Council Decision, and in consultation with the
    Article    113  Committee,      the  Commission    conducted   negotiations   with
    Malaysia from 7 June to 22 November 1982.
    Following the negotiations, a draft Agreement was drawn up.
    The draft Agreement:
     (i)   covers   all   MFA   products    of wool,    cotton   and man-made   fibres
           originating in Malaysia,
     (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,
                                      l
     (vii) includes    an "anti-fraud"       clause   allowing in   certain   circum­
           stances   the debiting against        the quota of the true country of
           origin of quantities shipped fraudulently,
(viii)    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 .

    The Heads of the Delegation initialled the text of the draft Agreement
    on 22 November    1982,  having noted that it correctly represented the
    results of the negotiations.
3.  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
                                                              ( 2)
    Regulation (EEC) N° 3762/83 of 19 December 1983
4.  The  Commission    considers    that      the    draft   Agreement    embodies   an
    arrangement which is acceptable to the Community. It therefore recom­
    mends that the Council:
    (i)   approve  the Agreement by adopting the regulation,              the draft of
          which is annexed hereto,
    (ii)  pending    approval    of    the      Agreement,      take   the    necessary
          decisions in connection with the signing thereof.

 ---pagebreak--- Dear Mr. Ahmad Saadi,
%
With reference to Article 8 of the Agreement between tho Community and
Malaysia on trade in textile products initialled on 22nd November, 1982
I have the honour to confirm the Community's agreement to the following :
(1) Where the Community invoices the provisions of the basket exit mechanism
in cases of categories which have been transferred from Groups III to V in
the Agreement ending December 1982 to Group II in the Agreement commencing
January 1983, the Community will take into account the basket exit levels which
existed in the Agreement ending in December 1982.
In this regard Malaysia expressod special interest in categories : 3 9 »  73, 81» 83
for which the basket exit levels which existed in the Agreement ending in
December 1982 shall be taken into due account.
 (2) The Community confirms that the levels referred to in paragraph 4   of Article 8
constitute minimum levels which can be increased to take into due account the
most recent import statistics available or other relevant circumstances.
                                                 Yours sincerely,
                                                 Horst G· KRSIZLEFi

During the course of the negotiations for the conclusion ^
of a new bilateral agreement on trade in textile products
between the E .E .C .  and Malaysia, the Community explained
the mechanism proposed for the transfer of proportions of
particular regional quota shares of the Community between the
Asean countries and presented a proposal as annexed conceming-
the application of such a meohaniBm on the import side.
 The Malaysian Delegation expressed its appreciation of the
 Community's efforts in making the proposal and undertook to
 study it.
 The Malaysian Delegation expressed the view that more time was
 needed to e'xamine the implications of the Community's proposal in
 view of the administrative problems involved. It was therefore
'agreed that the two sides Bhould revert to this matter at a later
  stage.
                                       Brussel, 22 November 19Ô2
 ---pagebreak---    Dear Mr. Ahmad Saadi,
   In connection with the Agreement on Trade in Textile Products between
   the European Economic Community and  Malaysia               initialled
   on   22 November 1982         I have the honour to propose the following:
  Transfers into any Category of Group I may be made, after notification,
  up to 5$ of the regional share of a quantitative limit to which the
  transfer is made, provided that an equivalent quantity is deducted from
  the share of the corresponding quantitative limit for the same region
  established in the Community's Agreement with another ASEAN country.
  Transfers into any Category of Groups II and III may be made, after
  notification, up to 10$ of the regional share of a quantitative limit
  to which the transfer is made, provided that an equivalent quantity is
 deducted from the share of the corresponding quantitative limit for
 the same region established in the Community's Agreement with another
 ASEAN country*
 Implementation of such transfers shall be subject to receipt of a
 corresponding notification from the ASEAN country accepting a deduction
 of the quantitative limit concerned.
 Such transfers shall be applicable for the year during which the notifica­
 tion is made.
 I should be grateful for your confirmation that this proposal is
 acceptable to you and that this exchange of letters shall constitute an
 agreement between the European Economic Community and   Malaysia*
Tours faithfully,
H, G· Krenzler
 ---pagebreak---                       AGREED MINUTE
Delegations of the European Economic Community and of Malaysia
met from  16  to    22 November to finalise the negotiations for the
renewal of the bilateral textile agreement which expires on
31  December 1982.
These ne.igotiations led to the initialling of an agreement on 22*
November 1982. On this occasion the following was also agreed:
1.  Carry-over to the quantitative limits for the year   1983 of
    quantities not used in 1982 is authorised up to   5 $ ofi the
    corresponding quantitative limits for   1983»
 ' Advance use of a portion of quintitative limitfc for
    1983 is authorised for any quantitative limit for the year 1982
    up to 5 56, subject to an agreement of the two parties establishing
    the de facto-application of the new bilateral agreement.
    At Malaysia's request, the Community will favourably consider
     additional flexibility (swing) between categories 4 and 5 up to
     5 $ (maximum  10 $
                      >) concerning the Community's region of Germany
                                      v
     and Benelux.
 2.  As regards the consultation period foreseen in Art.   17  § 2,
     Malaysia drew attention to the major practical difficulties to
     which so short a period could give rise in the case of Malaysia.
     The Community expressed understanding for such practical difficulties.

       or made up therefrom, whether sewn by hand or on a hand- or foot-
      operated sewing machine, provided that the process of applying colours
      and shades to the fabrio has been the traditional handicraft batik
      process described at A above, and subject to appropriate certification
      by the competent Malaysian authorities.
 2.   The competent Malaysian authorities will issue certificates conforming
