 ---pagebreak---                                  EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 By Decision of 25 February 1982, the Council authorised the Commission
  to open negotiations with Egypt 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
 Egypt from 22 June to 24 September 1982.
 Following the negotiations, a draft Agreement was drawn up.
 The draft Agreement:
 (i)     covers  p r o d u c t s of c o t t o n O T i g i n a t i n q i n . E g y p t ,
                                      f-
 (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      a    consultation         procedure          whereby        voluntary   re
        straint measures           may be      introduced           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           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,
i)     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 Agreement
     on 24 September 1982, having noted that it correctly represented the
    results of the negotiations.
3.  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 v               .
4.  The   Commission    considers    that       the    draft   Agreement' embodies     an
    arrangement which is acceptable to the Community. It therefore recom
    mends that the Council:
    (i)    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.

    D e a r Mr. Mantawi,
    I have the honour to bring to your attention the following
    elements concerning article 21 of Protocol A of the Agreement,
1 , I understand that in the framework of the close·cooperation
    already existing between Egypt and the Community, Egypt may invite
    i f necessary, competent Community o fficia ls to be
    present at the en<juiries referred to in Article 21, paragraph 2
    of Protocol A,
2 · I understand also that information referred to in artiole 21
    paragraph 4 of Protocol A, may include, i f available and i f needed,
    information on trade between Egypt and other countries in products
    subject to the Agreement, and information on production of such
    products in Egypt«

   Dear Mr· Mantawi,
1« The Community confirme that the levels referred to in Para 4 of
   Article 8 constitute minimum levels which could be increased to take
   into account the most recent import sta tistics available.
2« It is also understood, that the reference to I98O trade levels in Para
   5 of Article 8 represents a minimum level, that could be increased, i f
   the I98O trade performance of Egypt in the category concerned is
   abnormally low as compared with the average Egyptian export levels of the
   category concerned to the Community.
3# In the course of consultations under Article 8 , the Community will
   to the extent possible take into consideration the specific export
   Interests of Egypt when contemplating a mutually acceptable solution
   for an annual restraint level*

      Dear Mr. Maritavi,
     1 have the honour to bring to your attention the following elements
     with regard to Article 9 of the Agreement:
1· Pursuant to Para 10 of the Protocol of Extension of the MFA the Community
     has proposed the provisions of Article 9 of the bilateral Agreement to
     meet a particular concern of the Community, namely to prevent sharp and
     substantial increases in imports. In this way, the Community is seeking
     to eliminate real risk of serious and palpable damage to the domestio
     industry in the Community.
té The Community has noted the oonoern expressed by Egypt concerning the
    possible application of Article 9 of the Agreement."
3« Should a situation arise that could lead to a recourse to the provisions
    of Article 9» i t is understood that the Community would give fu ll consider»
    ation to the maximum extent possible to Egypt's particular situation having
    only few categories subject to (juar.titative limitations.
4· When contemplating possible solutions to problems related to Article 9,
    Egypt's export interests as well as the Community market situation will
    be considered in order to find a mutually satisfactory basis for an agreement,
3 · Given the fact that the Community restraint level for category 4 has for
    the fir st time been agreed for the year 1983, It is understood, that the
           year of application of Article 9 for this category shall be I 984 .
    Furthermore, the Egyptian delegation expressed particular concern about
    certain problems resulting from regional breakdown of the agreed Community
    restraint levels. The EC Delegation expreosed it s understanding of the
    Egyptian point of view and undertook to seek, as far as possible,
    appropriate solutions to enable Egypt to fu lly u tiliz e the agreed Community
    lim its.
