AGREEMENT ON TEXTILES AND CLOTHING
Recalling that Ministers agreed at Punta del Este that "negotiations
in the area of textiles and clothing shall aim to formulate modalities that
would permit the eventual integration of this sector into GATT on the basis
of strengthened GATT rules and disciplines, thereby also contributing to the
objective of further liberalization of trade";
Recalling also that in the April 1989 Decision of the Trade
Negotiations Committee it was agreed that the process of integration should
commence following the conclusion of the Uruguay Round and should be
progressive in character.
Recalling further that it was agreed that special treatment should be
accorded to the least-developed country Members;
Members hereby agree as follows:
Article 1
1. This Agreement sets out provisions to be applied by Members during a
transition period for the integration of the textiles and clothing
sector into the GATT 1994.
2. Members agree to use the provisions of paragraph 18 of Article 2 and
paragraph 6(b) of Article 6 of this Agreement in such a way as to
permit meaningful increases in access possibilities for small
suppliers and the development of commercially significant trading
opportunities for new entrants in the field of textiles and clothing
trade.[1]
3. Members shall have due regard to the situation of those Members which
have not participated in the Protocols extending the Arrangement
Regarding International Trade in Textiles (MFA) since 1986 and, to the
extent possible, shall afford them special treatment in applying the
provisions of this Agreement.
4. Members agree that the particular interests of the cotton producing
exporting Members should, in consultation with them, be reflected in
the implementation of the provisions of this Agreement.
5. In order to facilitate the integration of the textiles and clothing
sector into the GATT 1994, Members should allow for continuous
autonomous industrial adjustment and increased competition in their
markets.
6. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, its provisions shall not
affect the rights and obligations of Members under the provisions of
the Agreement Establishing the MTO and the multilateral trade
agreements annexed thereto.
7. The textile and clothing products to which this Agreement applies are
set out in the Annex to this Agreement (hereafter referred to as the
Annex).
Article 2
1. All quantitative restrictions within bilateral agreements maintained
under Article 4 or notified under Article 7 or 8 of the MFA in force
on the day before the entry into force of this Agreement, shall,
within 60 days following its entry into force, be notified in detail,
including the restraint levels, growth rates and flexibility
provisions, by the Members maintaining such restrictions, to the
Textiles Monitoring Body (herein referred to as the TMB) established
under Article 8. Members agree that as of the date of entry into
force of this Agreement, all such restrictions maintained between GATT
1947 contracting parties, and in place on the day before its entry
into force, shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement.
2. The TMB shall circulate these notifications to all Members for their
information. It is open to any Member to bring to the attention of
the TMB, within 60 days of the circulation of the notifications, any
observations it deems appropriate with regard to such notifications.
Such observations shall be circulated to the other Members for their
information. The TMB may make recommendations, as appropriate, to the
Members concerned.
3. When the twelve-month period of restrictions to be notified under
paragraph 1 above does not coincide with the 12-month period
immediately preceding the entry into force of this Agreement, the
Members concerned should mutually agree on arrangements to bring the
period of restrictions into line with the agreement year[2], and to
establish notional base levels of such restrictions in order to
implement the provisions of this Article. Concerned Members agree to
enter consultations promptly upon request with a view to reaching such
mutual agreement. Any such arrangements shall take into account,
inter alia, seasonal patterns of shipments in recent years. The
results of these consultations shall be notified to the TMB which
shall make such recommendations as it deems appropriate to the Members
concerned.
4. The restrictions notified under paragraph 1 above shall be deemed to
constitute the totality of such restrictions applied by the respective
Members on the day before the entry into force of this Agreement. No
new restrictions in terms of products or Members shall be introduced
except under the provisions of this Agreement or relevant GATT 1994
provisions.[3] Restrictions not notified within 60 days of the entry
into force of this Agreement shall be terminated forthwith.
5. Any unilateral measure taken under Article 3 of the MFA prior to the
date of entry into force of this Agreement may remain in effect for
the duration specified therein, but not exceeding 12 months, if it has
been reviewed by the Textiles Surveillance Body (TSB) established
under the MFA. Should the TSB not have had the opportunity to review
any such unilateral measure, it shall be reviewed by the TMB in
accordance with the rules and procedures governing Article 3 measures
under the MFA. Any measure applied under an MFA Article 4 agreement
prior to the date of entry into force of this Agreement that is the
subject of a dispute which the TSB has not had the opportunity to
review shall also be reviewed by the TMB in accordance with the MFA
rules and procedures applicable for such a review.
6. On the date of entry into force of this Agreement, each Member shall
integrate into GATT 1994 products which, in 1990, accounted for not
less than 16 per cent of the total volume of imports in 1990 of the
products in the Annex, in terms of HS lines or categories. The
products to be integrated shall encompass products from each of the
following four groups: tops and yarns, fabrics, made-up textile
products, and clothing.
7. Full details of the actions to be taken pursuant to paragraph 6 above
shall be notified by the Members concerned according to the following:
- Members maintaining restrictions falling under paragraph 1 above
undertake, notwithstanding the date of the entry into force of
this Agreement, to notify such details to the GATT Secretariat
not later than (1 July 1992).[4] The GATT Secretariat shall
promptly circulate these notifications to the other Members for
information. These notifications will be made available to the
TMB, when established, for the purposes of paragraph 21 below;
- Members which have, pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 6,
retained the right to use the provisions of Article 6, shall
notify such details to the TMB not later than 60 days following
the entry into force of this Agreement, or, in the case of those
Members covered by paragraph 3 of Article 1, not later than at
the end of the twelfth month that this Agreement is in effect.
The TMB shall circulate these notifications to the other Members
for information and review them as provided in paragraph 21
below.
8. The remaining products, i.e., the products not integrated into GATT
1994 under paragraph 6 above, shall be integrated, in terms of HS
lines or categories, in three stages, as follows:
A. On the first day of the 37th month that this Agreement is in
effect, products which, in 1990, accounted for not less than 17
per cent of the total volume of 1990 imports of the products in
the Annex. The products to be integrated by the Members shall
encompass products from each of the following four groups: tops
and yarns, fabrics, made-up textile products, and clothing.
B. On the first day of the 85th month that this Agreement is in
effect, products which, in 1990, accounted for not less than 18
per cent of the total volume of 1990 imports of the products in
the Annex. The products to be integrated by the Members shall
encompass products from each of the following four groups: tops
and yarns, fabrics, made-up textile products, and clothing.
C. On the first day of the 121st month that the Agreement
Establishing the MTO is in effect, the textiles and clothing
sector shall stand integrated into GATT 1994, all restrictions
under this Agreement having been eliminated.
9. Members which have notified, pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 6,
their intention not to retain the right to use the provisions of
Article 6 shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to have
integrated their textiles and clothing products into the GATT 1994.
Such Members shall, therefore, be exempted from complying with the
provisions of paragraphs 6 to 8 above and 11 below.
10. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent a Member which has submitted
an integration programme pursuant to paragraph 6 or 8 above from
integrating products into the GATT 1994 earlier than provided for in
such a programme. However, any such integration of products shall
take effect at the beginning of an agreement year, and details shall
be notified to the TMB at least three months prior thereto for
circulation to all Members.
11. The respective programmes of integration, in pursuance of paragraph 8
above, shall be notified in detail to the TMB at least 12 months
before their coming into effect and circulated by the TMB to all
Members.
12. The base levels of the restrictions on the remaining products,
mentioned in paragraph 8 above, shall be the restraint levels referred
to in paragraph 1 above.
13. During Stage 1 of this Agreement (from the date of entry into force of
this Agreement to the 36th month that it is in effect, inclusive) the
level of each restriction under MFA bilateral agreements in force for
the 12-month period prior to its entry into force shall be increased
annually by not less than the growth rate established for the
respective restrictions, increased by 16 per cent.
14. Except where the Council for Trade in Goods or the Dispute Settlement
Body decides otherwise under paragraph 12 of Article 8, the level of
each remaining restriction shall be increased annually during
subsequent stages of the Agreement by not less than the following:
(i) for Stage 2 (from the 37th to the 84th month that this Agreement
is in effect, inclusive), the growth rate for the respective
restrictions during Stage 1, increased by 25 per cent;
(ii) for Stage 3 (from the 85th to the 120th month that this Agreement
is in effect, inclusive), the growth rate for the respective
restrictions during Stage 2, increased by 27 per cent.
15. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent a Member from eliminating any
restriction maintained pursuant to this Article, effective at the
beginning of any agreement year during the transition period, provided
the exporting Member concerned and the TMB are notified at least three
months prior to the elimination coming into effect. The period for
prior notification might be shortened to 30 days with the agreement of
the restrained Member. The TMB shall circulate such notifications to
all Members. In considering the elimination of restrictions as
envisaged in this paragraph, the Members concerned shall take into
account the treatment of similar exports from other Members.
16. Flexibility provisions, i.e., swing, carryover and carry forward,
applicable to all quantitative restrictions in force in accordance
with the provisions of this Article, shall be the same as those
provided for in MFA bilateral agreements for the 12-month period prior
to the entry into force of this Agreement. No quantitative limits
shall be placed or maintained on the combined use of swing, carryover
and carry forward.
17. Administrative arrangements, as deemed necessary in relation to the
implementation of any provision of this Article, shall be a matter for
agreement between the Members concerned. Any such arrangements shall
be notified to the TMB.
18. As regards those Members whose exports are subject to restrictions on
the day before the entry into force of this Agreement and whose
restrictions represent 1.2 per cent or less of the total volume of the
restrictions applied by an importing Member as of 31 December 1991 and
notified under this Article, meaningful improvement in access for
their exports shall be provided at the entry into force of this
Agreement and for its duration through advancement by one stage of the
growth rates set out in paragraphs 13 and 14 above, or through at
least equivalent changes as may be mutually agreed with respect to a
different mix of base levels, growth and flexibility provisions. Such
improvements shall be notified to the TMB.
19. In any case, during the validity of this Agreement, in which a
safeguard measure is initiated by a Member under Article XIX of the
GATT 1994 in respect of a particular product during a period of one
year immediately following the integration of that product into GATT
1994 in accordance with the provisions of this Article, the provisions
of Article XIX, as interpreted by the Agreement on Safeguards, will
apply save as set out in paragraph 20 below.
20. Where such a measure is applied using non-tariff means, the importing
Member concerned shall apply the measure in a manner as set forth in
paragraph 2(d) of Article XIII of the GATT 1994 at the request of any
exporting Member whose exports of such products were subject to
restrictions under this Agreement at any time in the one-year period
immediately prior to the initiation of the safeguard measure. The
concerned exporting Member shall administer such a measure. The
applicable level shall not reduce the relevant exports below the level
of a recent representative period, which shall normally be the average
of exports from the concerned Member in the last three representative
years for which statistics are available. Further, when the safeguard
measure is applied for more than one year, the applicable level shall
be progressively liberalised at regular intervals during the period of
application. In such cases the concerned exporting Member shall not
exercise the right of suspending substantially equivalent concessions
or other obligations under the GATT 1994 as provided for under
paragraph 3(a) of Article XIX of the GATT 1994.
21. The TMB shall keep under review the implementation of this Article.
It shall, at the request of any Member, review any particular matter
with reference to the implementation of the provisions of this
Article. It shall make appropriate recommendations or findings within
30 days to the Member or Members concerned, after inviting the
participation of such Members.
Article 3
1. Within 60 days following the entry into force of this Agreement,
Members maintaining restrictions[5] on textile and clothing products
(other than restrictions maintained under the MFA and covered by the
provisions of Article 2), whether consistent with GATT 1994 or not,
shall (a) notify them in detail to the TMB, or (b) provide to the TMB
notifications with respect to them which have been submitted to any
other MTO body. The notifications should, wherever applicable,
provide information with respect to any GATT 1994 justification for
the restrictions, including GATT 1994 provisions on which they are
based.
2. All restrictions falling under paragraph 1 above, except those
justified under a GATT 1994 provision, shall be either:
(a) brought into conformity with the GATT 1994 within one year
following the entry into force of this Agreement, and be notified
to the TMB for its information; or
(b) phased out progressively according to a programme to be presented
to the TMB by the Member maintaining the restrictions not later
than six months after the date of entry into force of this
Agreement. This programme shall provide for all restrictions to
be phased out within a period not exceeding the duration of this
Agreement. The TMB may make recommendations to the Member
concerned with respect to such a programme.
3. During the validity of this Agreement, Members shall provide to the
TMB, for its information, notifications submitted to any other MTO
bodies with respect to any new restrictions or changes in existing
restrictions on textile and clothing products, taken under any GATT
1994 provision, within 60 days of their coming into effect.
4. It shall be open to any Member to make reverse notifications to the
TMB, for its information, in regard to the GATT 1994 justification, or
in regard to any restrictions that may not have been notified under
the provisions of this Article. Actions with respect to such
notifications may be pursued by any Member under relevant GATT 1994
provisions or procedures in the appropriate MTO body.
5. The TMB shall circulate the notifications made pursuant to this
Article to all Members for their information.
Article 4
1. Restrictions referred to in Article 2, and those applied under Article
6, shall be administered by the exporting Members. Importing Members
shall not be obliged to accept shipments in excess of the restrictions
notified under Article 2, and of restrictions applied pursuant to
Article 6.
2. Members agree that the introduction of changes, such as changes in
practices, rules, procedures and categorization of textile and
clothing products, including those changes relating to the Harmonized
System, in the implementation or administration of those restrictions
notified or applied under this Agreement should not upset the balance
of rights and obligations between the Members concerned under this
Agreement; adversely affect the access available to a Member;
impede the full utilization of such access; or disrupt trade under
this Agreement.
3. If a product which constitutes only part of a restriction is notified
for integration pursuant to the provisions of Article 2, Members agree
that any change in the level of that restriction shall not upset the
balance of rights and obligations between the Members concerned under
this Agreement.
4. When changes mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3 above are necessary,
however, Members agree that the Member initiating such changes shall
inform and, wherever possible, initiate consultations with the
affected Member or Members prior to the implementation of such
changes, with a view to reaching a mutually acceptable solution
regarding appropriate and equitable adjustment. Members further agree
that where consultation prior to implementation is not feasible, the
Member initiating such changes will, at the request of the affected
Member, consult within 60 days if possible, with the Members concerned
with a view to reaching a mutually satisfactory solution regarding
appropriate and equitable adjustments. If a mutually satisfactory
solution is not reached, any Member involved may refer the matter to
the TMB for recommendations as provided in Article 8. Should the TSB
not have had the opportunity to review a dispute concerning such
changes introduced prior to the entry into force of this Agreement, it
shall be reviewed by the TMB in accordance with the rules and
procedures of the MFA applicable for such a review.
Article 5
1. Members agree that circumvention by transshipment, rerouting, false
declaration concerning country or place of origin, and falsification
of official documents, frustrates the implementation of this Agreement
to integrate the textiles and clothing sector into the GATT 1994.
Accordingly, Members should establish the necessary legal provisions
and/or administrative procedures to address and take action against
such circumvention. Members further agree that, consistent with their
domestic laws and procedures, they will cooperate fully to address
problems arising from circumvention.
2. Should any Member believe that this Agreement is being circumvented by
transshipment, re-routing, false declaration concerning country or
place of origin, or falsification of official documents, and that no,
or inadequate, measures are being applied to address or to take action
against such circumvention, that Member should consult with the Member
or Members concerned with a view to seeking a mutually satisfactory
solution. Such consultations should be held promptly, and within 30
days when possible. If a mutually satisfactory solution is not
reached, the matter may be referred by any Member involved to the TMB
for recommendations.
3. Members agree to take necessary action, consistent with their domestic
laws and procedures, to prevent, to investigate and, where
appropriate, to take legal and/or administrative action against
circumvention practices within their territory. Members agree to
cooperate fully, consistent with their domestic laws and procedures,
in instances of circumvention or alleged circumvention of this
Agreement, to establish the relevant facts in the places of import,
export and, where applicable, transshipment. It is agreed that such
cooperation, consistent with domestic laws and procedures, will
include investigation of circumvention practices which increase
restrained exports to the Member maintaining such restraints;
exchange of documents, correspondence, reports and other relevant
information to the extent available; and facilitation of plant visits
and contacts, upon request and on a case-by-case basis. Members
should endeavour to clarify the circumstances of any such instances of
circumvention or alleged circumvention, including the respective roles
of the exporters or importers involved.
4. Where, as a result of investigation, there is sufficient evidence that
circumvention has occurred (e.g., where evidence is available
concerning the country or place of true origin, and the circumstances
of such circumvention) Members agree that appropriate action, to the
extent necessary to address the problem, should be taken. Such action
may include the denial of entry of goods or, where goods have entered,
having due regard to the actual circumstances and the involvement of
the country or place of true origin, the adjustment of charges to
restraint levels to reflect the true country or place of origin.
Also, where there is evidence of the involvement of the territories of
the Members through which the goods have been transshipped, such
action may include the introduction of restraints with respect to such
Members. Any such actions, together with their timing and scope, may
be taken after consultations held with a view to arriving at a
mutually satisfactory solution between the concerned Members and shall
be notified to the TMB with full justification. The Members concerned
may agree on other remedies in consultation. Any such agreement shall
also be notified to the TMB, and the TMB may make such recommendations
to the Members concerned as it deems appropriate. If a mutually
satisfactory solution is not reached, any Member concerned may refer
the matter to the TMB for prompt review and recommendations.
5. Members note that some cases of circumvention may involve shipments
transiting through countries or places with no changes or alterations
made to the goods contained in such shipments in the places of
transit. They note that it may not be generally practicable for such
places of transit to exercise control over such shipments.
6. Members agree that false declaration concerning fibre content,
quantities, description or classification of merchandise also
frustrates the objective of this Agreement. Where there is evidence
that any such false declaration has been made for purposes of
circumvention, Members agree that appropriate measures, consistent
with domestic laws and procedures, should be taken against the
exporters or importers involved. Should any Member believe that this
Agreement is being circumvented by such false declaration and that no,
or inadequate, administrative measures are being applied to address
and/or to take action against such circumvention, that Member should
consult promptly with the Member involved with a view to seeking a
mutually satisfactory solution. If such a solution is not reached,
the matter may be referred by any Member involved to the TMB for
recommendations. This provision is not intended to prevent Members
from making technical adjustments when inadvertent errors in
declarations have been made.
Article 6
1. Members recognise that during the transition period it may be
necessary to apply a specific transitional safeguard mechanism
(hereinafter referred to as "transitional safeguard"). The
transitional safeguard may be applied by any Member, to products
covered by the Annex to this Agreement, except those integrated into
the GATT 1994 under the provisions of Article 2. Members not
maintaining restrictions falling under Article 2 shall notify the TMB
within 60 days following the entry into force of this Agreement,
whether or not they wish to retain the right to use the provisions of
this Article. Members which have not participated in the Protocols
extending the MFA since 1986, shall make such notification within 6
months following the entry into force of this Agreement. The
transitional safeguard should be applied as sparingly as possible,
consistently with the provisions of this Article and the effective
implementation of the integration process under this Agreement.
2. Safeguard action may be taken under this Article when, on the basis of
a determination by a Member[6], it is demonstrated that a particular
product is being imported into its territory in such increased
quantities as to cause serious damage, or actual threat thereof, to
the domestic industry producing like and/or directly competitive
products. Serious damage or actual threat thereof must demonstrably
be caused by such increased quantities in total imports of that
product and not by such other factors as technological changes or
changes in consumer preference.
3. In making a determination of serious damage, or actual threat thereof,
as referred to in paragraph 2 above, the Member shall examine the
effect of those imports on the state of the particular industry, as
reflected in changes in such relevant economic variables as output,
productivity, utilization of capacity, inventories, market share,
exports, wages, employment, domestic prices, profits and investment;
none of which, either alone or combined with other factors, can
necessarily give decisive guidance.
4. Any measure invoked pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall
be applied on a Member-by-Member basis. The Member or Members to whom
serious damage, or actual threat thereof, referred to in paragraphs 2
and 3 above, is attributed, shall be determined on the basis of a
sharp and substantial increase in imports, actual or imminent[7], from
such a Member or Members individually, and on the basis of the level
of imports as compared with imports from other sources, market share,
and import and domestic prices at a comparable stage of commercial
transaction; none of these factors, either alone or combined with
other factors, can necessarily give decisive guidance. Such safeguard
measure shall not be applied to the exports of any Member whose
exports of the particular product are already under restraint under
this Agreement.
5. The period of validity of a determination of serious damage or actual
threat thereof for the purpose of invoking safeguard action shall not
exceed 90 days from the date of initial notification as set forth in
paragraph 7 below.
6. In the application of the transitional safeguard, particular account
shall be taken of the interests of exporting Members as set out below:
(a) Least-developed country Members shall be accorded treatment
significantly more favourable than that provided to the other
groups of Members referred to in this paragraph, preferably in
all its elements but, at least, on overall terms.
(b) Members whose total volume of textile and clothing exports is
small in comparison with the total volume of exports of other
Members and who account for only a small percentage of total
imports of that product into the importing Member shall be
accorded differential and more favourable treatment in the fixing
of the economic terms provided in paragraphs 8, 13 and 14 below.
For those suppliers, due account will be taken, pursuant to
paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 1, of the future possibilities for
the development of their trade and the need to allow commercial
quantities of imports from them.
(c) With respect to wool products from wool producing developing
Members whose economy and textiles and clothing trade are
dependent on the wool sector, whose total textile and clothing
exports consist almost exclusively of wool products, and whose
volume of textiles and clothing trade is comparatively small in
the markets of the importing Members, special consideration shall
be given to the export needs of such Members when considering
quota levels, growth rates and flexibility.
(d) More favourable treatment shall be accorded to reimports by a
Member of textile and clothing products which that Member has
exported to another Member for processing and subsequent
reimportation, as defined by the laws and practices of the
importing Member, and subject to satisfactory control and
certification procedures, when these products are imported from a
Member for which this type of trade represents a significant
proportion of its total exports of textiles and clothing.
7. The Member proposing to take safeguard action shall seek consultations
with the Member or Members which would be affected by such action.
The request for consultations shall be accompanied by specific and
relevant factual information, as up-to-date as possible, particularly
in regard to: (a) the factors, referred to in paragraph 3 above, on
which the Member invoking the action has based its determination of
the existence of serious damage or actual threat thereof; and (b) the
factors, referred to in paragraph 4 above, on the basis of which it
proposes to invoke the safeguard action with respect to the Member or
Members concerned. In respect of requests made under this paragraph,
the information shall be related, as closely as possible, to
identifiable segments of production and to the reference period set
out in paragraph 8 below. The Member invoking the action shall also
indicate the specific level at which imports of the product in
question from the Member or Members concerned are proposed to be
restrained; such level shall not be lower than the level referred to
in paragraph 8 below. The Member seeking consultations shall, at the
same time, communicate to the Chairman of the TMB the request for
consultations, including all the relevant factual data outlined in
paragraphs 3 and 4 above, together with the proposed restraint level.
The Chairman shall inform the members of the TMB of the request for
consultations, indicating the requesting Member, the product in
question and the Member having received the request. The Member or
Members concerned shall respond to this request promptly and the
consultations shall be held without delay and normally be completed
within 60 days of the date on which the request has been received.
8. If, in the consultations, there is mutual understanding that the
situation calls for restraint on the exports of the particular product
from the Member or Members concerned, the level of such restraint
shall be fixed at a level not lower than the actual level of exports
or imports from the Member concerned during the twelve-month period
terminating two months preceding the month in which the request for
consultation was made.
9. Details of the agreed restraint measure shall be communicated to the
TMB within 60 days from the date of conclusion of the agreement. The
TMB shall determine whether the agreement is justified in accordance
with the provisions of this Article. In order to make its
determination, the TMB shall have available to it the factual data
provided to the Chairman of the TMB, referred to in paragraph 7 above,
as well as any other relevant information provided by the Members
concerned. The TMB may make such recommendations as it deems
appropriate to the Members concerned.
10. If, however, after the expiry of the period of 60 days from the date
on which the request for consultations was received, there has been no
agreement between the Members, the Member which proposed to take
safeguard action may apply the restraint by date of import or date of
export, in accordance with the provisions of this Article, within 30
days following the 60 days period for consultations, and at the same
time refer the matter to the TMB. It shall be open to either Member
to refer the matter to the TMB before the expiry of the period of 60
days. In either case, the TMB shall promptly conduct an examination
of the matter including the determination of serious damage, or actual
threat thereof, and its causes, and make appropriate recommendations
to the Members concerned within 30 days. In order to conduct such
examination, the TMB shall have available to it the factual data
provided to the Chairman of the TMB, referred to in paragraph 7 above,
as well as any other relevant information provided by the Members
concerned.
11. In highly unusual and critical circumstances, where delay would cause
damage which would be difficult to repair, action under paragraph 10
above may be taken provisionally on the condition that the request for
consultations and notification to the TMB shall be effected within no
more than 5 working days after taking the action. In the case that
consultations do not produce agreement, the TMB shall be notified at
the conclusion of consultations, but in any case no later than 60 days
from the date of the implementation of the action. The TMB shall
promptly conduct an examination of the matter, and make appropriate
recommendations to the Members concerned within 30 days. In the case
that consultations do produce agreement, Members shall notify the TMB
upon conclusion but, in any case, no later than 90 days from the date
of the implementation of the action. The TMB may make such
recommendations as it deems appropriate to the Members concerned.
12. Measures invoked pursuant to the provisions of this Article may remain
in place: (a) for up to three years without extension, or (b) until
the product is integrated into GATT 1994, whichever comes first.
13. Should the restraint measure remain in force for a period exceeding
one year, the level for subsequent years shall be the level specified
for the first year increased by a growth rate of not less than 6 per
cent per annum, unless otherwise justified to the TMB. The restraint
level for the product concerned may be exceeded in either year of any
two subsequent years by carry forward and/or carryover of 10 per cent
of which carry forward shall not represent more than 5 per cent. No
quantitative limits shall be placed on the combined use of carryover,
carry forward and the provision of paragraph 14 below.
14. When more than one product from another Member is placed under
restraint under this Article by a Member, the level of restraint
agreed, pursuant to the provisions of this Article, for each of these
products may be exceeded by 7 per cent, provided that the total
exports subject to restraint do not exceed the total of the levels for
all products so restrained under this Article, on the basis of agreed
common units. Where the periods of application of restraints of these
products do not coincide with each other, this provision shall be
applied to any overlapping period on a pro rata basis.
15. If a safeguard action is applied under this Article to a product for
which a restraint was previously in place under the MFA during the
12-month period prior to the entry into force of this Agreement, or
pursuant to the provisions of Article 2 or 6 of this Agreement, the
level of the new restraint shall be the level provided for in
paragraph 8 of this Article unless the new restraint comes into force
within one year of:
(a) the date of notification referred to in paragraph 15 of Article 2
for the elimination of the previous restraint; or
(b) the date of removal of the previous restraint put in place
pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of the MFA
in which case the level shall not be less than the higher of (i) the
level of restraint for the last twelve-month period during which the
product was under restraint, or (ii) the level of restraint provided
for in paragraph 8 of this Article.
16. When a Member which is not maintaining a restraint under Article 2
decides to apply a restraint pursuant to the provisions of this
Article, it shall establish appropriate arrangements which: (a) take
full account of such factors as established tariff classification and
quantitative units based on normal commercial practices in export and
import transactions, both as regards fibre composition and in terms of
competing for the same segment of its domestic market, and (b) avoid
over-categorisation. The request for consultations referred to in
paragraph 7 or 11 above shall include full information on such
arrangements.
Article 7
1. As part of the integration process and with reference to the specific
commitments undertaken by the Members as a result of the Uruguay
Round, all Members shall take such actions as may be necessary to
abide by GATT 1994 rules and disciplines so as to:
(i) achieve improved access to markets for textile and clothing
products through such measures as tariff reductions and bindings,
reduction or elimination of non-tariff barriers, and facilitation
of customs, administrative and licensing formalities;
(ii) ensure the application of policies relating to fair and equitable
trading conditions as regards textiles and clothing in such areas
as dumping and anti-dumping rules and procedures, subsidies and
countervailing measures, and protection of intellectual property
rights; and
(iii) avoid discrimination against imports in the textiles and
clothing sector when taking measures for general trade policy
reasons.
Such actions shall be without prejudice to the rights and obligations
of Members under GATT 1994.
2. Members shall notify to the TMB the actions referred to in paragraph 1
above which have a bearing on the implementation of this Agreement.
To the extent that these have been notified to other MTO committees or
bodies, a summary, with reference to the original notification, shall
be sufficient to fulfil the requirements under this paragraph. It
shall be open to any Member to make reverse notifications to the TMB.
3. Where any Member considers that another Member has not taken the
actions referred to in paragraph 1 above, and that the balance of
rights and obligations under this Agreement has been upset, that
Member may bring the matter before the relevant MTO committees and
bodies and inform the TMB. Any subsequent findings or conclusions by
the MTO committees and bodies concerned shall form a part of the TMB's
comprehensive report.
Article 8
1. In order to supervise the implementation of this Agreement, to examine
all measures taken under its provisions and their conformity
therewith, and to take the actions specifically required of it in the
Articles of this Agreement, there shall be established by the Council
for Trade in Goods a Textiles Monitoring Body (TMB). The TMB shall
consist of a Chairman and 10 members. Its membership shall be
balanced and broadly representative of the Members and shall provide
for rotation of its members at appropriate intervals. The members
shall be appointed by Members designated by the Council for Trade in
Goods to serve on the TMB, discharging their function on an ad
personam basis.
2. The TMB will develop its own working procedures. It is understood,
however, that consensus within the TMB does not require the assent or
concurrence of members appointed by Members involved in an unresolved
issue under review by the Body.
3. The TMB shall be considered as a standing body and shall meet as
necessary to carry out the functions required of it under this
Agreement. It shall rely on notifications and information supplied by
the Members under the relevant Articles of this Agreement,
supplemented by any additional information or necessary details they
may submit or it may decide to seek from them. It may also rely on
notifications to and reports from other MTO committees and bodies and
from such other sources as it may deem appropriate.
4. Members shall afford to each other adequate opportunity for
consultations with respect to any matters affecting the operation of
this Agreement.
5. In the absence of any mutually agreed solution in the bilateral
consultations provided for in this Agreement, the TMB shall, at the
request of either Member, and following a thorough and prompt
consideration of the matter, make recommendations to the Members
concerned.
6. At the request of any Member, the TMB shall review promptly any
particular matter which that Member considers to be detrimental to its
interests under this Agreement and where consultations between it and
the Member or Members concerned have failed to produce a mutually
satisfactory solution. On such matters, the TMB may make such
observations as it deems appropriate to the Members concerned and for
the purposes of the review provided for in paragraph 11 below.
7. Before formulating its recommendations or observations, the TMB shall
invite participation of such Members as may be directly affected by
the matter in question.
8. Whenever the TMB is called upon to make recommendations or findings,
it shall do so, preferably within a period of 30 days, unless a
different time period is specified in this Agreement. All such
recommendations or findings shall be communicated to the Members
directly concerned. All such recommendations or findings shall also
be communicated to the Council for Trade in Goods for its information.
9. The Members shall endeavour to accept in full the recommendations of
the TMB, which shall exercise proper surveillance of the
implementation of such recommendations.
10. If a Member considers itself unable to conform with the
recommendations of the TMB, it shall provide the TMB with the reasons
therefor not later than one month after receipt of such
recommendations. Following thorough consideration of the reasons
given, the TMB shall issue any further recommendations it considers
appropriate forthwith. If, after such further recommendations, the
matter remains unresolved, either Member may bring the matter before
the Dispute Settlement Body and invoke paragraph 2 of Article XXIII of
GATT 1994 and the relevant provisions of the Understanding on Rules
and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes.
11. In order to oversee the implementation of the Agreement, the Council
for Trade in Goods shall conduct a major review before the end of each
stage of the integration process. To assist in this review, the TMB
shall, at least five months before the end of each stage, transmit to
the Council for Trade in Goods a comprehensive report on the
implementation of this Agreement during the stage under review, in
particular in matters with regard to the integration process, the
application of the transitional safeguard mechanism, and relating to
the application of GATT 1994 rules and disciplines as defined in
Articles 2, 3, 6 and 7 of this Agreement, respectively. The TMB's
comprehensive report may include any recommendation as deemed
appropriate by the TMB to the Council for Trade in Goods.
12. In the light of its review the Council for Trade in Goods shall by
consensus take such decisions as it deems appropriate to ensure that
the balance of rights and obligations embodied in this Agreement is
not being impaired. For the resolution of any disputes that may arise
with respect to matters referred to in Article 7 of this Agreement,
the Dispute Settlement Body may authorize, without prejudice to the
final dates set out under Article 9 of this Agreement, an adjustment
to paragraph 14 of Article 2, for the stage subsequent to the review,
with respect to any Member found not to be complying with its
obligations under this Agreement.
Article 9
1. This Agreement and all restrictions thereunder shall stand terminated
on the first day of the 121st month that the Agreement Establishing
the MTO is in effect, on which date the textiles and clothing sector
shall be fully integrated into the GATT 1994. There shall be no
extension of this Agreement.
ANNEX
LIST OF PRODUCTS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT
1. This Annex lists textile and clothing products identified by
Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) codes at the
six digit level.
2. Actions under the safeguard provisions in Article 6 will be taken on
particular textile and clothing products and not on the basis of the
HS lines per se.
Note:
Actions under the safeguard provisions in Article 6 of this Agreement shall
not apply to:
1. developing Members' exports of handloom fabrics of the cottage
industry, or hand-made cottage industry products made of such handloom
fabrics, or traditional folklore handicraft textile and clothing
products, provided that such products are properly certified under
arrangements established between the Members concerned;
2. historically traded textile products which were internationally traded
in commercially significant quantities prior to 1982, such as bags,
sacks, carpetbacking, cordage, luggage, mats, mattings and carpets
typically made from fibres such as jute, coir, sisal, abaca, maguey
and henequen;
3. products made of pure silk.
For such products, the provisions of Article XIX of the GATT 1994, as
interpreted by the Agreement on Safeguards, shall be applicable.
