Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into France of textile products of category 20 originating in Pakistan have exceeded the level referred to in paragraph 3 of the said Article;

Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82, Pakistan was notified on 7 June 1984 of a request for consultations;

Whereas, pending the outcome of the requested consultations, imports into France were made subject to a provisional quantitative limit by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1689/84 (3);

Whereas, as a result of these consultations, it was agreed to make the textile products in question subject to quantitative limits for the period 15 August to 31 December 1984 and for the years 1985 and 1986;

Whereas paragraph 13 of the said Article 11 provides for compliance with the quantitative limits to be ensured by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 3589/82;

Whereas the products in question exported from Pakistan between 15 August 1984 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limit for the period 15 August to 31 December 1984;

Whereas this quantitative limit should not prevent the importation of products covered by it shipped from Pakistan before the date of entry into force of this Regulation;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
