COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 821/95 of 12 April 1995 on the opening of additional quotas for  imports into the Community of certain textile products originating in certain third countries  participating in trade fairs organized in 1995 in the European Community
THE  COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports  of certain textile products from third countries  (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation  (EC) No 3169/94  (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas additional quotas to those indicated in Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 may be  opened when required under special circumstances; that the Commission has received a request to  open additional quotas in view of trade fairs to be held in 1995;
Whereas additional quotas have already been opened for trade fairs in previous years for certain  third countries;
Whereas additional quotas for imports of textile products originating in the People's Republic of  China have already been established for European trade fairs and it is therefore appropriate to  limit the opening of those additional quotas for 1995 to products originating in third countries  other than China;
Whereas access to the additional quotas should be limited to products which have been exhibited by  the exporting countries at the relevant fair and for the quantities agreed to by sales contracts,  as certified by the competent authorities of the Member State where the fair is taking place;
Whereas in order to avoid an over-utilization of these additional quotas it appears appropriate to  request the Member State of the territory in which the fair is taking place, on the one hand, to  ensure that the total amounts covered by certified contracts do not exceed the limits set for these  additional quotas and, on the other hand, to inform the Commission after closure of the fair of the  total quantities covered by such certified contracts;
Whereas it seems appropriate to apply to imports into the Community of products for which the  additional quotas are opened the provision of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 which are applicable to  imports of products subject to quantitative limits set out in Annex V of the said Regulation, with  the exception of those relating to flexibilities;
Whereas requests for import authorizations should moreover be accompanied by the contract signed at  the relevant fair, as certified by the competent authorities of the Member State where it is held;
Whereas in order to ensure the smooth management of additional quotas, the validity of import  authorizations should not extend beyond 12 months from the date of closure of the fair;
Whereas in order to avoid circumvention, issue of import authorizations should only cover products  shipped in the supplier country in which they originate no earlier than 30 days after the closure  of the relevant fair;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in conformity with the opinion of the  Textile Committee,
