COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC ) No 3061/79

of 20 December 1979

on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in the People's Republic of China

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and in particular Article 113 thereof ,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,

Whereas the Community has negotiated an Agreement with the People's Republic of China ( hereinafter referred ro as " China " ) on trade in textile products ;

Whereas the Community and China decided that the provisions of that Agreement will be fully implemented as from 1 January 1980 until 31 December 1983 ;

Whereas it is necessary , with a view to implementing the Agreement and to take account of its particularities , to establish specific common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in China ;

Whereas , in order to apply quantitative limits in conformity with the Agreement negotiated with China , it is necessary to establish a special management procedure ; whereas it is desirable that such common management system be decentralized by allocating the quantitative limits among the Member States , and that the import authorizations be issued by the Member States' authorities in accordance with the double-checking system defined in the Agreement ;

Whereas , in order to ensure the best possible utilization of the quantitative limits , they should be allocated in accordance with the requirements of the Member States and with the quantitative objectives established by the Council ; whereas , however , the extent of the disparities existing in the conditions for imports of these products into the Member States and the particularly sensitive position of the Community textiles industry mean that the said conditions can be standardized only gradually ; whereas for these reasons allocation of supplies cannot immediately be effected on the basis of requirements alone ;

Whereas it is also necessary to introduce efficient and rapid procedures for altering quantitative limits and their allocation to take account of the development of trade flows , needs for additional imports and the Community's obligations under the Agreement with China ;

Whereas , in the case of products not subject to quantitative limitation , the Agreement provides for a consultation procedure whereby , under certain conditions , agreement can be sought with China on the introduction of quantitative limits ; whereas it is necessary to provide a procedure whereby the Community may introduce quantitative limits pending the conclusion of such consultation or as a result of such consultations or where such consultations do not lead to agreement ;

Whereas it is therefore necessary to lay down a rapid and efficient procedure for introducing such quantitative limits and concluding arrangements with China ;

Whereas , for practical reasons , it is convenient to make use , for the purposes enumerated above , of the management committee already set up by Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3059/78 of 21 December 1978 on common rules for imports of certain textile products originating in third countries ( 1 ) ,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :

Article 1

3 . Subject to provisions of this Regulation the import into the Community of the textile products referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be subject to quantitative restrictions or measures having equivalent effect to such restrictions .

5 . Exports of all textile products originating in China , including handloom and folklore products covered by the categories referred to in Article 1 , shall be subject to a double-checking system , as described hereinafter .

6 . Where imports into the Community of textile products listed in Annex I and originating in China are effected at abnormally low prices , the provisions of Annex IX shall apply .

_ 0 * 2 % if the category is in Group I ,

_ 1 * 5 % if the category is in Group II ,

Such limits will remain in force until replaced by a definitive limit introduced after the consultation has taken place or until it is decided , after the consultation and in accordance with the provisions of this Article , that no that no definitive limit should be introduced .

The consultations shall be conducted in accordance with the following rules :

11 .

5 . For the purpose of subsequent verification of certificates of origin , copies of the certificates as well as any export documents referring to them shall be kept for at least two years by the competent governmental authority of China .
