                     Proposal for a
               COUNCIL DECISION
      on trade in certain steel products between
       the European Community and Ukraine
            (presented by the Commission)

   The Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Communities and their
   Member States, on the one hand, and Ukraine, on the other hand, provides in Article 22,
   paragraph 1, that trade in some steel products shall be the subject of a specific Agreement on
   quantitative arrangements. The previous bilateral Agreement between the European Coal and
   Steel Community (ECSC) and the Government of Ukraine on trade for certain steel products
   expired on 31 December 2001. After the expiry of the ECSC Treaty, the European
   Community took over all rights and obligations of international Agreements contracted by the
   ECSC.
   In the absence of an Agreement, autonomous measures fixing quantitative limits on the
   imports of certain steel products were taken for the years 2002, 2003 and 2004.
   However, preliminary discussions between the Parties indicate that both have the intention to
   conclude a new Agreement for 2005 and subsequent years.
   Pending the conclusion and entry into force of the new Agreement, autonomous measures
   fixing quantitative limits for the year 2005 are necessary. Given that the conditions that led to
   the fixing of the quantitative limits for 2004 remain in place, it is appropriate to set the
   quantitative limits for the year 2005 at the same level as for the year 2004, but by taking into
   account the EU enlargement fully.
   This Council Decision will be automatically repealed when the new Agreement enters into
   force.

                                        COUNCIL DECISION
                               on trade in certain steel products between
                                 the European Community and Ukraine
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular
   Article 133 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
   Whereas:
   (1)     The Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Communities and
           their Member States, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part1, provides in its
           Article 22 (1), that trade in some steel products shall be the subject of a specific
           Agreement on quantitative arrangements.
   (2)     The previous bilateral Agreement between the European Coal and Steel Community
           (ECSC) and the Government of Ukraine on trade for certain steel products expired on
           31 December 2001.
   (3)     The European Community has taken over the international obligations of the ECSC
           since the expiry of the ECSC Treaty, and measures relating to trade in steel products
           with third countries now fall under the competence of the Community in the field of
           trade policy.
   (4)     Preliminary discussions between the Parties indicate that both have the intention to
           conclude a new Agreement for 2005 and subsequent years.
   (5)     Pending the signature and the entry into force of the new Agreement, quantitative
           limits for the year 2005 should be established.
   (6)     Given that the conditions that led to the fixing of the quantitative limits for 2004
           remain in place, it is appropriate to set the quantitative limits for the year 2005 at the
           same level as for the year 2004, but by taking into account the EU enlargement fully.
   (7)     It is necessary to provide the means to administer this regime within the Community in
           such a way as to facilitate the implementation of the new Agreement by foreseeing as
           much as possible similar provisions.

 ---pagebreak---    (8)  It is necessary to ensure that the origin of the products in question is checked and
        appropriate methods of administrative cooperation are set up to this end.
   (9)  Products placed in a free zone or imported under the arrangements governing customs
        warehouses, temporary importation or inward processing (suspension system) should
        not be counted against the limits established for the products in question.
   (10) The effective application of this Decision requires the introduction of a requirement of
        a Community import licence for the entry into free circulation in the Community of
        the products in question.
   (11) In order to ensure that these quantitative limits are not exceeded, it is necessary to
        establish a management procedure whereby the competent authorities of the Member
        States will not issue import licences before obtaining prior confirmation from the
        Commission that appropriate amounts remain available within the quantitative limit in
        question.
   HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
                                                 Article 1
   1.     This Decision applies from the date of its entry into force until 31 December 2005 to
          imports of steel products listed in Annex I originating in Ukraine.
   2.     The steel products shall be classified in product groups as set out in Annex I.
   3.     The classification of products listed in Annex I shall be based on the combined
          nomenclature (CN) established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/872.
   4.     The origin of the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall be determined in
          accordance with the rules in force in the Community.
                                                 Article 2
   1.     The importation into the Community of the steel products listed in Annex I
          originating in Ukraine shall be subject to the quantitative limits laid down in Annex
          V. The release for free circulation in the Community of the products set out in Annex
          I originating in Ukraine shall be subject to the presentation of an import licence
          issued by the Member States' authorities in accordance with the provisions of
          Article 4.
   2.     In order to ensure that quantities for which import licences are issued do not exceed
          at any moment the total quantitative limits for each product group, the competent
          authorities listed in Annex IV shall issue import licences only upon confirmation by
          the Commission that there are still quantities available within the quantitative limits
          for the relevant product group of steel products in respect of the supplier country, for
          which an importer or importers have submitted applications to the said authorities.

      the year in which the products are shipped in the exporting country. Shipment of
      products shall be considered as having taken place on the date on which they were
      loaded onto the exporting means of transport.
                                          Article 3
   1. The quantitative limits referred to in Annex V shall not apply to products placed in a
      free zone or free warehouse or imported under the arrangements governing customs
      warehouses, temporary importation or inward processing (suspension system).
   2. Where the products referred to in paragraph 1 are subsequently released for free
      circulation, either in the unaltered state or after working or processing, Article 2 (2)
      shall apply and the products so released shall be counted against the relevant
      quantitative limit set out in Annex V.
                                          Article 4
   1. For the purpose of applying Article 2 (2), before issuing import licences, the
      competent authorities of the Member States listed in Annex IV shall notify the
      Commission of the amounts of the requests for import licences, supported by original
      export licences, which they have received. By return, the Commission shall notify
      whether the requested amount(s) of quantities are available for importation in the
      chronological order in which the notifications of the Member States have been
      received ('first come, first served basis').
   2. The requests included in the notifications to the Commission shall be valid if they
      establish clearly in each case the exporting country, the product code concerned, the
      amounts to be imported, the number of the export licence, the quota year and the
      Member State in which the products are intended to be put into free circulation.
   3. As far as possible, the Commission shall confirm to the authorities the full amount
      indicated in the requests notified for each group of products.
   4. The competent authorities shall notify the Commission immediately after being
      informed of any quantity that is not used during the duration of validity of the import
      licence. Such unused quantities shall automatically be transferred into the remaining
      quantities of the total Community quantitative limit for each product group.
   5. The notifications referred to in paragraphs 1 to 4 above shall be communicated
      electronically within the integrated network set up for this purpose, unless for
      imperative technical reasons it is necessary to use other means of communication
      temporarily.
   6. The import licences or equivalent documents shall be issued in accordance with
      articles 12 to 16.

 ---pagebreak---    7.      The competent authorities of the Member States shall notify the Commission of any
           cancellation of import licences or equivalent documents already issued in cases
           where the corresponding export licences have been withdrawn or cancelled by the
           competent Ukrainian authorities. However, if the Commission or the competent
           authorities of a Member State have been informed by the competent Ukrainian
           authorities of the withdrawal or cancellation of an export licence after the related
           products have been imported into the Community, the quantities in question shall be
           set off against the quantitative limit for the year during which the shipment of
           products took place.
                                               Article 5
   1.      Where the Commission has indications that products listed in Annex I originating in
           Ukraine have been transhipped, rerouted or otherwise imported into the Community
           through circumvention of the quantitative limits referred to in Article 2 and that there
           is a need for the necessary adjustments to be made, it shall request that consultations
           be opened so that Agreement may be reached on the necessary adjustment of the
           corresponding quantitative limits to be made.
   2.      Pending the outcome of the consultations referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission
           may ask Ukraine to take the necessary precautionary steps to ensure that adjustments
           to the quantitative limits agreed following such consultations may be carried out.
   3.      If the Community and Ukraine fail to arrive at a satisfactory solution and if the
           Commission notes that there is clear evidence of circumvention, it shall deduct from
           the quantitative limits an equivalent volume of products originating in Ukraine.

             Ukraine for a particular product group exceed the quantitative limit established for
             that product group, the competent licence authorities in the Member States shall be
             informed immediately to suspend the further issue of import licences. In this event,

       be printed by printers appointed by the Member State in which they are established.
       In the latter case, reference to the appointment by the Member State must appear on
       each form. Each form shall bear an identification of the printer's name and address or
       a mark enabling the printer to be identified.
   5.  At the time of their issue the import licences or extracts shall be given an issue
       number determined by the competent authorities of the Member State. The import
       licence number shall be notified to the Commission electronically within the
       integrated network set up under Article 4.
   6.  Licences and extracts shall be completed in the official language, or one of the
       official languages, of the Member State of issue.
   7.  In box 10 the competent authorities shall indicate the appropriate steel product group.
   8.  The marks of the issuing agencies and debiting authorities shall be applied by means
       of a stamp. However, an embossing press combined with letters or figures obtained
       by means of perforation, or printing on the licence may be substituted for the issuing
       authority's stamp. The issuing authorities shall use any tamper-proof method to
       record the quantity allocated in such a way as to make it impossible to insert figures
       or references.
   9.  The reverse of copy No 1 and copy No 2 shall bear a box in which quantities may be
       entered, either by the customs authorities when import formalities are completed, or
       by the competent administrative authorities when an extract is issued. If the space set
       aside for debits on a licence or extract thereof is insufficient, the competent
       authorities may attach one or more extension pages bearing boxes matching those on
       the reverse of copy No 1 and copy No 2 of the licence or extract. The debiting
       authorities shall so place their stamp that one half is on the licence or extract thereof
       and the other half is on the extension page. If there is more than one extension page,
       a further stamp shall be placed in like manner across each page and the preceding
       page.
   10. Import licences and extracts issued, and entries and endorsements made, by the
       authorities of one Member State shall have the same legal effect in each of the other
       Member States as documents issued, and entries and endorsements made, by the
       authorities of such Member States.
   11. The competent authorities of the Member States concerned may, where
       indispensable, require the contents of licences or extracts to be translated into the
       official language or one or the official languages of that Member State.
