# Council Decision of 28 May 1996 on the conclusion of administrative arrangements on trade in textile products between the European Community and certain members of the World Trade Organization (96/415/EC), Division: NOTE VERBALE


The Mission of the Republic of Singapore to the European Communities presents its compliments to the Directorate-General for External Relations of the Commission of the European Communities and has the honour to refer to the Directorate-General's Note verbale No 020827 of 22 December 1993 and to the Agreement on textile products between the Republic of Singapore and the Community applied since 1 January 1987, as extended by the Exchange of Letters applied since 1 January 1992 and as further extended by the Exchange of Letters of 26 November 1992.
The Singapore Trade Development Board noted the Commission's intention to notify the Textile Monitoring Body selected provisions in the abovementioned Agreement on textile products as ‘administrative arrangements’, within the meaning of Article 2 (17) of the Uruguay Round Textile Agreement. The Singapore Trade Development Board is of the view that Article 7 of the abovementioned Agreement should also fall within the meaning of Article 2 (17) of the Uruguay Round Textile Agreement.
The Singapore Trade Development Board understands that the text of the bilateral textile Agreements concluded between the European Communities and the exporting countries are more or less the same. As such, the Singapore Trade Development Board would like to know whether the Commission would be notifying the same provisions in the other bilateral textile Agreements of the Communities to the Textile Monitoring Body. The Singapore Trade Development Board would also be pleased to know the schedule of the notification by the Commission to the Textile Monitoring Body.
The Singapore Trade Development Board would like to reaffirm that the understanding reached between the textile negotiators of the European Community and Singapore with regard to the provisions of Article 12 of the abovementioned Agreement as recorded in the confidential Agreed Minutes signed and Confidential Letters exchanged on 26 November 1992 remain unchanged.
The Mission of the Republic of Singapore avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Directorate-General for External Relations the assurances of its highest consideration.
