1 . By Decision of 19 October 1977 , the Council authorized the Commission to
     open negotiations with Bulgaria with a view to the conclusion of an
     agreement on trade in textile products .
2 . In accordance with the Council Decision , and in consultation with the
  . Article 113 Committee , the Commission conducted negotiations with Bulgaria
     from October to 9 April 1979 .
     Following the negotiations , a draft Agreement was drawn up .

     i ) covers all MFA products of wool , cotton and man-made fibres originating
         in Bulgaria ;                     N                   ,                1
    ii ) calls for voluntary restraint , at agreed levels , on exports to the
         Community of certain categories of products covered by the Agreement ;
                                                                           /
   lii ) provides for a consultation procedure whereby voluntary restraint
         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 ; 1
     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 ;
                                                                         !

         not to introduce further quantitative restrictions under Article XIX

         equivalent to quantitative restrictions .
 ---pagebreak---            The Heads of the Delegations initialled the text of the draft Agreement
          on 9 April 1979 , having noted that it correctly represented the results
          of the negotiations .
           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 1979 . The provisions of the agreement
           were put into effect for 1979 by Commission Regulation ( EEC ) N° 1829 / 79 of .
           3 August 1979(1 ) amending annexes of Regulation 3059 / 78 of 21 December 1979(2 )
          on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in third
           countries , making the importation into the Community of textile products
           originating in the People 's Republic of Bulgaria subject to authorisation
           and quantitative limitation .
           The Commission considers that the draft Agreement embodies an arrangement
           which is acceptable to the Community . It therefore recommends 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 hereof .
