 ---pagebreak---                                          Article 3
1. The Parties agree that, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 4, imports of
    textile products from either Party may only be made subject to quantitative
    restraint in accordance with Article 17 of the Partnership and Cooperation
    Agreement.
2. For a period of three years following the date on which this Agreement enters into
    application:
        - the level of any quantitative restraint fixed under the provisions
           referred to in paragraph 1 in respect of imports of textile products shall
           be set at a level not lower than the actual level of exports or imports
           from the Party concerned during the 12-month period terminating two
           months preceding the month in which the request for consultation was
           made or the date on which the measures were introduced:
        - for those categories of textile products previously subject to
           quantitative limits and set out in Annex 2, any quantitative restraint
           fixed under the provisions referred to in paragraph 1 for a category of
           products shall be set at a level not lower than the level of the 1997
           quota for the category in question and shall not be triggered until
           imports into the European Community of products of Russian origin
           of that category have reached 5% of the total imports into the
           European Community for that category.
   3. The Parties agree to consult fully pursuant to Article 5 in the event of the
   application of this Article.
                                        Article 4
   The Parties, agree that circumvention by transhipment, re-routing, false declaration
   concerning country or place or origin, and falsification of official documents,
   frustrates the effective functioning of this Agreement. Accordingly, the Parties
   agree to establish the necessary legal provisions and/or administrative procedures
   to address and take action against such circumvention. The Parties agree further
   that, consistent with their domestic laws and procedures, they will cooperate fully
   to address problems arising from circumvention.
   Should either Party believe that this Agreement is being circumvented by
   transhipment, re-routing, false declaration concerning country or place of origin,
   or falsification of official documents, and that no, or inadequate, measures are
   being applied to address and/or to take action against such circumvention, the
   Party should consult with the other with a view to seeking a mutually satisfactory
   solution. Such consultations should be held promptly, and within 30 days when
   possible.
 ---pagebreak---  The Parlies agree to take necessary action, consistent with their domestic laws and
 procedures, to prevent, to investigate and, where appropriate, to take legal and/or
 administrative action against circumvention practices within their territory. The
 Parties agree to cooperate fully, consistent with their domestic laws and
 procedures, in instances of circumvention or alleged circumvention of this
 Agreement, to establish the relevant facts in the places of import, export and,
 where applicable, transhipment. It is agreed that such cooperation, consistent with
 domestic laws and procedures, will include : investigation of circumvention
 practices which increase restrained exports to the Party maintaining such
 restraints; exchange of documents, correspondence, reports and other relevant
 information to the extent available; and facilitation of plant visits and contacts,
 upon request and on a case-by-case basis. The Party should endeavour to clarify
the circumstances of any such instances of circumvention or alleged
circumvention, including the respective roles of the exporters or importers
 involved.
 Where, as a result of investigation, there is sufficient evidence that circumvention
has occurred (e.g. where evidence is available concerning the country or place of
true origin, and the circumstances of such circumvention) the Parties agree that
appropriate action, to the extent necessary to address the problem, should be
taken. Also, where there is evidence of the involvement of the territory of either
Party through which goods have been transhipped, such action may include the
introduction of restraints with respect to the Party concerned. Any such actions,
together with their timing and scope, may be taken after consultations held with a
view to arriving at a mutually satisfactory solution between the Parties. The
Parties may agree on other remedies in consultation.
The Parties agree that false declaration concerning fibre content, quantities,
description or classification of merchandise also frustrates the objective of this
Agreement. Where there is evidence that any such false declaration has been
made for purposes of circumvention, the Parties agree that appropriate measures,
consistent with domestic laws and procedures, should be taken against the
exporters or importers involved. Should either Party believe that this Agreement
is being circumvented by such false declaration and that no, or inadequate,
administrative measures are being applied to address and/or to take action against
such circumvention, that Party should consult promptly with the other with a view
to seeking a mutually satisfactory solution. This provision is not intended to
prevent Parties from making technical adjustments when inadvertent errors in
declarations have been made.
In order to facilitate the cooperation foreseen under this Article. Russia undertakes
to issue automatic export authorisations according to the relevant Russian
legislation in respect of exports of textile products previously subject to
quantitative limits and set out in Annex 2.
                                           <?
 ---pagebreak---        For those categories subject ^to the issue of export licences the competent
       authorities of the European Community will issue import authorizations only on
       the presentation of export authorizations issued by the competent Russian
       authorities
       Russia undertakes to transmit, on a weekly basis, information on quantities
       covered by the automatic export authorisations referred to above. This may be
       carried out by way of an electronic linkage between the competent Russian
       authorities and the Système Intégré de Gestion de Licenses (hereinafter referred to
       as 'SIGL') as established by the Community. The Community will ensure full
       technical and financial assistance in setting up such linkage, within the limits of
       TACIS programme.
       In case of significant and unjustified discrepancies between the information
       received through the electronic linkage with SIGL and the export authorizations
       submitted to the competent authorities of the European Community, either Party
       may request consultations under Article 5 of the Agreement in order to identify
       the reasons for the discrepancies. Should these discrepancies be due to fraudulent
       transhipment of products not originating in Russia the Parties will agree
       appropriate measures in order to avoid their recurrence.
       This system of double checking shall be maintained for as long as both Parties so
       desire.
       Following a request from one Party the other Party shall provide data on a
       monthly basis in respect of its exports of the specific categories of textile products
       products exported to the Party making the request.
                                           Article 5
    1. Save where it is otherwise provided, the special consultation procedures referred
       to in this Agreement shall be governed by the following rules:
       any request for consultations shall be notified in writing to the other Party,
       the request for consultation shall be followed within 15 days of the notification by
       a statement setting out the reasons and circumstances which, in the opinion of the
       requesting Party, justify the submission of such a request,
       the Parties shall enter into consultations within one month of notification of the
       request at the latest, with a view to reaching agreement or a mutually acceptable
       conclusion within one further month at the latest.
    2. If necessary, at the request of either of the Parties, consultations shall be held on
       any problems arising from the application of this Agreement. Any consultations
       held under this Article shall take place in a spirit of cooperation and with a desire
       to reconcile the differences between the Parties.
