 ---pagebreak---                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorise,            lie Commission
  to open negotiations with Poland with a view to the conclusion of an
 agreement on trade in textile products.
 In accordance with that Council Decision, and in consultation with the
 Article    113  Committee,     the   Commission   conducted    negotiations  with
 Poland from 29 June to 7 July 1982.
 Following the negotiations, a draft Agreement was drawn up.
 The draft Agreement:
 (i)    covers   all   MFA   products   of   cotton wool,   fine animal hair or
        man-made fibres originating in Poland,
 (ii)   calls   for voluntary restraint, at agreed levels, on exports to
        the Community of certain categories of products covered by the
        Agreement,
 (iii) provides     for   r   consultation    procedure   whereby   voluntary  re
        straint measures may be        in reduced for categories of products
        not   initially subject to limitation,         where certain thresholds
        are exceeded,
 (iv)   establishes a double checking system for categories of products
        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    offlexibility 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,
i)     includes    a price clause whtch allows         the Community to request
       consultations     to   deal  with   problems  caused by abnormally low
       export   prices    and   under  certain   circumstances     temporarily to
       suspend imports,
 ---pagebreak---                                              - 2-
  (ix)       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.
  3.  Following     the    negotiations,       both   parties     further     concluded    an
      Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters that certain products
      of flax and ramie should be subject to quantitative limits under the
      same   conditions,     and    in   accordance     with   the    same   administrative
      arrangements,     as  the   less    sensitive    products    covered    by the draft
      Agreement on textile trade.
 4.   The Heads of the Delegation initialled the text of the draft Agreement
      and the exchange of letters on flax and ramie products on 7 July 1982,
      having   noted    that   they    correctly    represented      the   results    of  the
      negotiations.
 5.   In order to ensure that the successful implementation of the Agreement
      should not be put at risk and to prevent a flood of exports preceding
      its entry into force,       the Community, following the conclusion 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  Council
     Regulation (EEC) N° 3762/83 of 19 December 1983
6.   The Commission considers that the draft Agreement and the exchange of
     letters on flax and ramie products represent arrangements which are
     acceptable to the Community. It therefore recommends that the Council:
     (i)    approve the Agreement and the exchange of letters by adopting
            the regulation, the draft of which is annexed hereto,
     (ii)   pending approval of the Agreement and the exchange of letters,
            take   the   necessary     decisions    in   connection     with   the  signing
            thereof.

1.     Should the Community consider that a textile product covered by this
Agreement   is  being     imported     into    the  Community   from   Poland   at   a   price
abnormally lower than the normal competi ti ve level,             and is for this reason
causing or threatening to cause serious injury to Community prod uce rs of like
or directly competing products,           it may request consultations under Article 15
of this Agreement,      and in that event the following specific pr ov isions shall
be applicable.
2.    If following such consultations it is ac kn owl ed ged by common ac cord that
the situation de scribed in paragraph 1 exists, Poland shall take the nece ssa ry
steps,   notably as regards the price at which the product in ques tio n is sold,
to remedy the situation.
3.  In order to d e t e rmi ne w h et her the price of a textile product is ab no rma ll y
lower than the normal competitive level, it may be compared with:
- the prices of like national prod uct s at           a comparable mark eti ng stage on the
market of the importing country,
- the prices    ge nerally     charged     for   like products   sold under    the ordi nar y
conditions   by  other     expo rti ng    countries    on  the  market   of   the   importing
country,
- the lowest prices charged by a third country for the same product                     in the
course of ordi nar y     commercial      deal ing s  in the three months      prec edi ng  the
request for consultations,         and not having led to the adop tio n of any meas ure
by the Community.

4.      Should the    consultations referred      to in paragraph 2 fail to lead to
agreement within 30 days of the Community's request for consultations,                   the
Community may, until these consultations have produced a mutually satisfactory
solution,     temporarily refuse co nsignments of the products in question at the
prices and conditions referred to in paragraph 1.
5.     In totally exceptional and critical circumstances,           where consignments of
products    are   being     imported   from   Poland    into  the    Community   at  prices
ab no rmally lower than the normal competitive level,            such as to cause injury
which it would be difficult to repair,           the Community may temporarily suspend
 imports of the products        concerned pending      agreement   on a solution    in the

the accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the products in
question.
2.   In such cases the competent authorities in the Community shall return the
certificate of origin or export    licence or a copy thereof to the competent
authority in Poland,    giving,   where appropriate,        the reasons of form or
substance for an enquiry.   If the invoice has been submitted, the invoice or a

 The information shall also include, at the request of the Community, copies of
 all documentation necessary to determine the full facts,           in particular the
 true origin of the goods.
 Should such verifications     reveal   systematic   irregularities    in the   use of
 declarations of origin,     the Community may subject imports of the products
 concerned to the provisions of Article 2(1) of this Protocol.
 5.    For the purpose of subsequent verification of certificates of origin or
export licences, copies of the certificates and any export documents referring
