                                      RECOMMENDATION FOR A COUNCIL REGULATION
                concerning the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Economic
                Community and the Federal Republic of Brazil on trade in textile product
                                   (submitted to the Council by the Commission)
             C0M(84) 333 final
 ---pagebreak---                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorised the Commis
   sion to open negotiations with Brazil with a view to the conclusion
   of an agreement on trade in textile products.
2. In accordance with that Council Decision,      and in consultation with
   the Article 113 Committee, the Commission conducted negotiations with
   Brazil from 6 July to 24 November 1982,
   Following the negotiations, a draft Agreement was drawn up.
   The draft Agreement:
    (i)     covers all MFA products of wool, cotton and man-made fibres
            originating in Brazil,
    (ii)    calls for voluntary restraint, at agreed levels, on exports
            to the Comnunity of certain categories of products covered by
            the Agreement,
    (iii)   provides for    a  consultation  procedure   whereby   voluntary
            restraint measures may be introduced for categories of pro
            ducts   not  initially  subject  to  limitation,  where  certain
            thresholds are exceeded,
    (iv)    establishes a double checking system for categories of pro
            ducts subject to limitation, and an origin control system for
            all categories covered by the Agreement,
    (v)     includes a     flexibility  clause  allowing the  transfer  of a
            certain percentage of the quotas from category to category,
            or from one year to another,
    (vi)     includes an   "anti-surge" clause allowing in   certain circum
            stances the suspension of flexibility or the introduction of
             temporary limits within quotas,
     (vii)   includes an   "anti-fraud" clause allowing in   certain circum
             stances the debiting against the quota of the true country of
             origin of quantities shipped fraudulently,
     (viii)  in exchange for limitation,    contains an undertaking by the
             Community not to introduce further quantitative restrictions
            under Article XIX of the GATT or Article 3 of the MFA, or to
             measures having an effect equivalent to quantitative restric
             tions.
                                                                           /-

    The Heads of the Delegation initialled the text of the draft Agree
    ment on 24 November 1982, having noted that it correctly represented
    the results of the negotiations.
3.  In order to ensure that the successful implementation of the Agree
    ment should not be put at risk and to prevent a flood of exports
    preceding its entry into force,     the Community, following the conclu
    sion of the negotiations, proposed to the third countries that until
    such time as the Agreement entered       into force both parties     should
    apply its provisions on an autonomous basis as from 1 January 1983.
    These provisions were put into effect by Council Regulation (EEC) N°
    3589/82  of 23  December  1982         making the importation     into the
    Community of textile products originating in certain third       countries
    subject to authorisation and quantitative limitation, as amended by
                                                                 (2)
    Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3762/83 of 19 December 1983
4.  The  Commission  considers   that    the   draft  Agreement   embodies   an
    arrangement which is acceptable to the Community. It therefore recom
    mends that the Council:
    (1)     approve the Agreement by adopting the regulation,        the draft
            of which is annexed hereto,
    (ii)    pending  approval   of    the   Agreement,   take   the  necessary
            decisions in connection with the signing thereof.

          of on Agreement on trade in textiles between Brasil and the 'Commuait; ,
          you informed me of your concern on security of accesa·                          As rerards
          Article 7 in particular, you referred to the possibility that Brasilian
          exports might reach the levels specified in Article 7, paragraph 2
         without this causing'or threatening to cause market disruption or real
         risk thereof in the Community (or in any of its regions)·                            In this

                     Sir,                                                    t
                     I refer to the bilateral textile agreement between the
  Community and Brazil on trade in textiles products initialled by us today.
                     In this connection, you explained that Article 8 of the
  Agreement was considered by the Community to be consistent with the 1981
  Protocol of Extension of the MFA. For my part, I placed on record the
  importance which Brazil attaches to conformity of Article 8 of the Agreement
  with the 1981 Protocol of Extension of the MFA.
                     I explained to you that Bra'zil was ready to accept the
  provisions of Article 8 of the bilateral agreement on the understanding that
  the Community would only invoke the provisions of this article with a view
  to eliminating real risk of serious and palpable damage to domestic industry
  as provided for in the MFA.
                      I understood that in the event of recourse by the Community
  to Article 8 of the Agreement, the Community would make an offer of equitable
  and quantifiable compensation proportionate to the adverse effects caused to
  Brazil. You also explained that such an offer would take into account any
  difficulties currently experienced by the Community in any particular
   categories of products. The compensation which provides for effective and
   practical export opportunities for Brazil would take account of conversion
   factors set out in Annex I of the Agreement as well as the differences in
   degree of sensitivities of those products.

 ---pagebreak---                  Finnaly, with reference to Article 16, paragraph 2 of the
Agreement, you explained that this provision was intended to avoid undue
delay in the application of Article 8. However, the Community would give due
consideration to the practical difficulties which could arise in complying
fully with the time limits specified.
                 In any event, it is our understanding that every effort will
be made to avoid recourse to the provisions of Article 8, paragraph 4 of the
Agreement.

the contents of this letter.

                  Ambassador,
                  I refer to paragraph 2, Article l3of Protocol A of the bilateral
                 agreement between Brazil and the Community on trade in textile products
                 initialled by us today, and confirm that the Community accepts that
                 Brazil, in view of its already established control system, is unable to
                 indicate when the numbering system referred to in this paragraph will
                 be introduced.
                As regards Article 9 of the above mentioned Protocol A, I confirm the
                deadline of 31 March for the presentation of export licences, except in
                 a case of force majeure as laid down in thè international conventions.

                    Ambassador,
                    X refer to the Agreement on trade in textile products initialled by us
                    today and confirm that having regard to the implementation of the
                    previous agreement, the need for recourse to the provisions of
                    paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 11 seems unlike.y.                In the unlikely event
                   of such need arising the Community will explore with Brazil all possible
                   avenues of*finding             a mutually satisfactory solution as provided for in
                   paragraph 14 of the Protocol of Extension of the 6eneva Arrangement of
                   22 December 1981.
