REGULATION (EU) 2015/936 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 9 June 2015
on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Union import rules
(recast)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 (3) has been substantially amended several times (4). Since further amendments are to be made, that Regulation should be recast in the interests of clarity. |
(2) |
The common commercial policy should be based on uniform principles. |
(3) |
Uniformity in the rules for imports should be ensured by laying down, as far as possible given the particular features of the economic system in the third countries in question, provisions similar to those applied under the common rules for other third countries. |
(4) |
For a limited number of products originating in certain third countries, owing to the sensitivity of the textile sector of the Union, surveillance measures applicable at Union level should be laid down in this Regulation. |
(5) |
Provision should be made for special rules for products re imported under the arrangements for economic outward processing. |
(6) |
Annex III B to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1398/2007 (5) was emptied of its content. Therefore, it is appropriate to delete that Annex entirely. In the interest of clarity, the reference to that Annex in Article 4(2) should also be deleted. |
(7) |
Some imports of certain textile products from certain third countries may have to be subject to Union surveillance, quantitative limits or other appropriate measures. |
(8) |
If Union surveillance is applied, release for free circulation of the products in question should be made subject to presentation of a surveillance document meeting uniform criteria. That document should, on simple application by the importer, be issued by the authorities of the Member States within a certain period but without the importer thereby acquiring any right to import. The document should therefore be valid only during such period as the import rules remain unchanged. |
(9) |
It is in the interests of the Union that the Member States and the Commission should make as full as possible an exchange of information resulting from Union surveillance. |
(10) |
It is necessary to adopt precise criteria for assessing possible injury and initiating an investigations procedure while still allowing the Commission to introduce appropriate measures in urgent cases. |
(11) |
To that end, detailed provisions should be laid down in respect of the initiation of investigations, the checks and inspections required, the hearing of those concerned, the treatment of information obtained and the criteria for assessing injury. |
(12) |
It is necessary to provide for an appropriate system for administering Union quantitative restrictions. |
(13) |
The administrative procedure should ensure that all applicants have fair access to quotas. |
(14) |
In the interests of uniformity of rules for imports, the formalities to be carried out by importers should be... |
