of 22 December 1995
on the arrangements for imports of certain textile products originating  in Taiwan
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113  thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3951/92 of 29 December 1992 on the arrangements for imports of  certain textile products originating in Taiwan (1) laid down the arrangements for the imports into  the Community of the products in question until 31 December 1995;
Whereas these arrangements should be maintained beyond that date until such time as Taiwan accedes  to the World Trade Organization;
Whereas, in order, inter alia, to ensure compliance with the objectives of this Regulation, the  release for free circulation of the products in question should be made subject to import  authorization on presentation of an export document issued in Taiwan by a body affording all the  necessary guarantees;
Whereas it is necessary to provide that neither handicraft or traditional folklore products, for  which an appropriate certification system will be devised, nor products introduced into the customs  territory of the Community under the inward processing rules or under other temporary admission  rules and re-exported from that territory in the same state or after processing are to be set off  against the abovementioned quantitative limits;
Whereas provision should be made for introducing, where certain conditions are fulfilled,  quantitative limits on textile products which are included in the import arrangements applicable to  Taiwan but for which no quantitative limit has been fixed;
Whereas it should be possible, where it is found that products originating in Taiwan and subject to  this Regulation have been imported into the Community in an attempt to evade the provisions of this  Regulation, to deduct the quantity of goods concerned from the appropriate quantitative limits  established under this Regulation;
Whereas it should be possible to introduce specific quantitative limits for products obtained under  the outward processing relief arrangements;
Whereas the import arrangements at present in force expire on 31 December 1995; whereas it is  necessary to provide for transitional arrangements in respect of products shipped before 1 January  1996,
