Notice to economic operators — Imports into the Community of textile and clothing products originating in China for the year 2008

(2007/C 304/15)

By the present notice, Community operators are informed of the following practical issues concerning imports of textile and clothing products originating in China for the year 2008.

The current regime of agreed levels of imports for the product categories listed in Annex V to the Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules of imports of certain textile products from third countries (1) will expire on 31 December 2007. A double checking surveillance system for eight product categories, specified below, will be put into place from 1 January 2008 until 31 December 2008. To this end, the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1217/2007 (2) amending Annex III to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 has been adopted.

The double checking surveillance system applies to imports originating in China of textile products category 4 (T-shirts), category 5 (pullovers), category 6 (trousers), category 7 (blouses), category 20 (bed-linen), category 26 (dresses), category 31 (bras), and category 115 (flax/ramie yarn). The two remaining categories subject to the above current regime, 2 and 39, are not included in the double checking system.

The double checking surveillance system will apply for goods shipped from China from 1 January 2008. For the release into free circulation of such goods the import licence will be issued upon presentation of a valid export licence.

For goods shipped during 2007, the following rules apply:

Imports for which applications for import licences are presented before or on 31 March 2008, will be subject to the agreed level set forth in Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93. Such importation will require a valid export licence and the availability of the corresponding amount of goods in the concerned category.

Imports for which applications for imports licences are presented from 1 April 2008 will fall under the provisions of the double surveillance regime described above. An import licence will be issued against the corresponding export licence for goods shipped in accordance with the agreed levels set forth in Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.

For goods shipped from 1 January 2008, the outward processing traffic (OPT) procedure and the import of folklore and handloom products will continue to be subject to the regulations in force in the Community.

Specific provisions to distinguish children's T-shirts in sub-category 4C as applicable under the current regime of agreed levels will no longer apply for goods shipped under the double checking surveillance system.

Import authorizations are issued by import licensing authorities of the Member States listed in Annex I.
