Article 6

1 . Exports of textile products not listed in Annex II to this Agreement may be made subject to quantitative limits by Peru on the conditions laid down in the following paragraphs .

2 .

_ for categories of products in Group I : 0-2 % ,

_ for categories of products in Group II : 1-2 % ,

_ for categories of products in Group III , IV or V : 4 % ,

it may request the opening of consultations in accordance with the procedure described in Article 14 of this Agreement , with a view to reaching agreement on an appropriate restraint level for the products in such category .

3 . Pending a mutually satisfactory solution , Peru undertakes , from the date of notification of the request for consultations , to suspend or limit , at the level indicated by the Community , exports of the category of products in question to the Community or to the region or regions of the Community market specified by the Community .

The Community shall authorize the importation of products of the said category shipped from Peru before the date on which the request for consultations was submitted .

4 . Should the Parties be unable in the course of consultations to reach a satisfactory solution within the period specified in Article 14 of the Agreement , the Community shall have the right to introduce a quantitative limit at an annual level not lower than that reached by imports of the category in question and referred to in the notification of the request for consultations .

The annual level so fixed shall be revised upwards after consultations in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 14 , with a view to fulfilling the conditions set out in paragraph 2 , should the trend of total imports into the Community of the product in question make this necessary .

5 . The limits introduced under paragraph 2 or 4 may in no case be lower than the 1976 level of imports into the Community of products in that category originating in Peru .

6 . Quantitative limits may also be established by the Community on a regional basis in accordance with the provisions of Protocol C .

7 . The annual growth rate for the quantitative limits introduced under this Article shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Protocol D .

8 . The provisions of this Article shall not apply where the percentages specified in paragraph 2 have been reached as a result of a fall in total imports into the Community , and not as a result of an increase in exports of products originating in Peru .

9 . In the event of the provisions of paragraph 2 or 4 being applied , Peru undertakes to issue exports licenses for products covered by contracts concluded before the introduction of the quantitative limit , up to the volume of the quantitative limit fixed for the current year .

4 . Should it be found on analysis of the information exchanged that there are significant discrepancies between the returns for exports and those for imports , consultations may be initiated in accordance with the procedure specified in Article 14 of this Agreement .

Article 8

Any decision relating to the classification of goods or amendment to the Common Customs Tariff or NIMEXE made in accordance with the procedures in force in the Community , concerning the categories of products covered by this Agreement , shall not have the effect of reducing any quantitative limits established in Annex II .

Article 9

Peru shall endeavour to ensure that exports of textile products subject to quantitative limits are spaced out as evenly as possible over the year , due account being taken , in particular , of seasonal factors .

However , should recourse be had to the provisions of Article 19 ( 3 ) , the quantitative limits established in Annex II shall be reduced on a pro rata basis .

Article 10

Should there be an excessive concentration of imports on any product belonging to a category subject to quantitative limits under this Agreement , the Community may request consultations in accordance with the procedure specified in Article 14 with a view to remedying this situation .

It is understood that any reallocation so effected shall not be subject to the limits fixed under the flexibility provisions set out in Article 4 of this Agreement .

2 . Should it appear in any given region of the Community that additional supplies are required , the Community may , where measures taken pursuant to paragraph 1 above are inadequate to cover those requirements , authorize the importation of amounts greater than those stipulated in Annex II .

Article 12

After application of this Agreement for a period of two years , the quantitative limits for categories of products in Group I shall be revised by common accord , upwards or downwards , in the light of consumption in the Community .

Article 14

The special consultation procedures referred to in this Agreement shall be governed by the following rules :

_ any request for consultations shall be notified in writing to the other Party ,

Sir ,

With reference to the Agreement on trade in textile products concluded today between the Government of Peru and the European Economic Community and to the exchange of letters of the same date , I have the honour to inform you that Peru will take steps to ensure that the prices of the products referred to in the said exchange of letters are not lower than the prices charged on the Community market for like imported products or imported products of a comparable quality . Moreover , the prices shall not be significantly lower than those charged for products produced within the Community .

For these purposes , the prices of Peruvian cotton yarn and fabric of Tanguis and Pima quality cotton may be compared to :

_ the prices of like Community products at a comparable stage in the marketing chain , or

_ the prices normally charged for like products by other countries exporting to the Community market in the ordinary course of trade and in conditions of full competition .

The Community may also make reference to any other criterion it considers useful for the purpose of such comparison .

Peru may likewise adduce such criteria to support its case as it considers useful for the purpose of comparison .

In the case of failure to abide by the above conditions , the Community may request that consultations be opened . Such consultations shall be entered into within 15 days of the date of notification of the request for consultations . If no mutually acceptable agreement has been reached within 45 days , the Community may suspend the issue of import authorizations until Peru has taken the necessary measures to ensure that the products in question are exported at prices considered satisfactory by the Community .
