 (b) the Party does not impose a higher price for exports of a good to the other Party than the price charged for such good when consumed domestically, by means of any measure, such as licenses, fees, taxation and minimum price requirements.

(a) the maximum possible reduction or elimination of production and trade-distorting domestic support, including support under “production limiting” or “blue box” programs; 
(b) an overall limit on the amount of domestic support of all types (“green”, “blue” and “amber”); 
(c) a review of the criteria for the “green box” category to ensure that “green” support does not distort production and trade; and 
(d) agreement that “green box” support should not be countervailable. 

3.

The Parties shall begin consultations within 60 days of the request for consultations and shall endeavour to agree on a mutually satisfactory level of restraint on exports of the particular good within 90 days of the request, unless the Parties agree to extend this period. The request for consultations shall be accompanied by specific and relevant factual information, as up to date as possible, particularly in regard to the factors stated in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of this section. The information shall be related, as closely as possible, to identifiable segments of production and to the reference period set out in paragraph 7. The Party taking the action shall also indicate the specific level at which imports of the product in question are proposed to be restrained; such level shall not be lower than the level referred to in paragraph 7. In reaching a mutually satisfactory level of export restraint, the Parties shall:

(a) consider the situation in the market in the importing Party;
(b) consider the history of trade in textile and apparel goods between the Parties, including previous levels of trade; and
(c) seek to ensure that the textile and apparel goods imported from the territory of the exporting Party are accorded equitable treatment as compared with treatment accorded like textile and apparel goods from non-Party suppliers.³

6. If the Parties do not agree on a mutually satisfactory level of export restraint, the Party requesting consultations may impose annual quantitative restrictions on imports of the good from the territory of the other Party, subject to paragraphs 7 through 13.

7. Any quantitative restriction imposed under paragraph 6 shall be no less than the sum of:

(a) the quantity of the good imported into the territory of the Party requesting consultations from the other Party, as reported in general import statistics of the importing Party, during the first 12 of the most recent 14 months preceding the month in which the request for consultations was made; and
(b) 20 per cent of such quantity.

8. The period of any quantitative restriction imposed under paragraph 6 for the first year shall begin on the day after the date on which the request for consultations was made and terminate at the end of the calendar year in which the quantitative restriction is imposed. Any quantitative restriction that is imposed for a period of less than 12 months shall be prorated to correspond to the time remaining in the calendar year in which the restriction is imposed, and the prorated amount may be adjusted in accordance with the flexibility provisions set out in Appendix III.1.5.1.

9. For each successive calendar year that the quantitative restriction imposed under paragraph 6 remains in effect, the Party imposing it shall:

(a) increase it by six per cent; and
(b) accelerate the growth rate for quantitative restrictions on cotton, man-made fibre and non-cotton vegetable fibre textile and apparel goods as required by the WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing;

and the flexibility provisions set out in Appendix III.1.5.1 apply.

10. A quantitative restriction imposed under paragraph 6 before July 1 in any calendar year may remain in effect for the remainder of that year, plus two additional calendar years. Such a restriction imposed on or after July 1 in any calendar year may remain in effect for the remainder of that year, plus three additional calendar years. No such restriction may remain in effect beyond the transition period or one year following the full integration into the WTO.

11. Neither Party may take an emergency action under this section with respect to any particular textile or apparel non-originating good against which a quantitative restriction is in effect.

12. Neither Party may adopt or maintain a quantitative restriction under this section on a particular textile or apparel good that otherwise would be permitted under this Annex, if that Party is required to eliminate such measure under the WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing.

13. Neither Party may take a bilateral emergency action after the expiration of the transition period with respect to cases of serious damage, or actual threat thereof, to domestic industry arising from the operation of this Agreement.

Section 6: Special Provisions

Appendix III.1.6.1 sets out special provisions applicable to certain textile and apparel goods.

Section 7: Definitions

For purposes of this Annex:

average yarn number, as applied to woven fabrics of cotton or man-made fibres, means the average yarn number of the yarns contained therein. In computing the average yarn number, the length of the yarn is considered to be equal to the distance covered by it in the fabric, with all clipped yarn being measured as if continuous and with the count being taken of the total single yarns in the fabric including the single yarns in any multiple (folded) or cabled yarns. The weight shall be taken after any excessive sizing is removed by boiling or other suitable process. Any of the following formulas can be used to determine the average yarn number:

N = BYT ,     100T , BT   or  ST
    1,000        Z'      Z        10 

when:
N is the average yarn number,
B is the breadth (width) of the fabric in centimetres, 
Y is the metres (linear) of the fabric per kilogram, 
T is the total single yarns per square centimetre, 
S is the square metres of fabric per kilogram, 
Z is the grams per linear metre of fabric, and 
Z' is the grams per square metre of fabric. 

Fractions in the resulting "average yarn number" shall be disregarded;

exporting Party means the Party from whose territory a textile or apparel good is exported;

flexibility provisions means the provisions set out in Appendix III.1.5.1;

importing Party means the Party into whose territory a textile or apparel good is imported;

integrated into the WTO means subject to the obligations of the WTO Agreement;

product category means a grouping of textile or apparel goods defined in the Correlation: Textile and Apparel Categories with the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, 1995 (or successor publication), published by the United States Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, Office of Textiles and Apparel, Trade and Data Division, Washington, D.C.;

specific limit means a level of exports for a particular textile or apparel good that may be adjusted in accordance with Appendix III.1.5.1;

square metres equivalent (SME) means that unit of measurement that results from the application of the conversion factors set out in Appendix III.1.6.2 to a primary unit of measure such as unit, dozen or kilogram;

tariff preference level (TPL) means a mechanism that provides for the application customs duty at a preferential rate to imports of a particular good up to a specified quantity, and at a different rate to imports of that good that exceed that quantity; transition period means the seven-year period beginning on the date of entry into force of this Agreement;

wool fabric means:

(a) fabric in chief weight of wool;

(b) woven fabric in chief weight of man-made fibres containing 36 per cent or more by weight of wool; and

(c) knitted or crocheted fabric in chief weight of man-made fibres containing 23 per cent or more by weight of wool; and

WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing means the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing which is part of the WTO Agreement.

Flexibility Provisions

Adjustments to annual specific limits (SLs), may be made as follows:

(a) the exporting Party may increase the SL for a calendar year by no more than six per cent ("swing").

(b) in addition to any increase of its SL under subparagraph (a), the exporting Party may increase its unadjusted SL for that year by no more than 11 per cent by allocating to such SL for that calendar year (the "receiving year") an unused portion ("shortfall") of the corresponding SL for the previous calendar year ("carryover") or a portion of the corresponding SL for the following calendar year ("carryforward"), as follows:

(i) subject to subparagraph (iii), the exporting Party may utilize carryover, as available, up to 11 per cent of the unadjusted SL for the receiving year;

(ii) the exporting Party may utilize carryforward charged against the corresponding SL for the following calendar year, up to six per cent of the unadjusted SL for the receiving year;

(iii) the combination of the exporting Party's carryover and carryforward shall not exceed 11 per cent of the unadjusted SL in the receiving year; and

(iv) carryover may be utilized only following confirmation by the importing Party that sufficient shortfall exists. If the importing Party does not consider that sufficient shortfall exists, it shall promptly provide data to the exporting Party to support that view. Where substantial statistical differences exist between the import and export data on which the shortfall is computed, the Parties shall seek to resolve these differences promptly.

Tariff rate quota means a mechanism that provides for the application of a customs duty at a certain rate to imports of a particular good up to a specified quantity (in-quota quantity), and at a different rate to imports of that good that exceed that quantity. The in-quota quantities which are set out in the Annexes correspond to calendar years, except where otherwise indicated. In the year that this Agreement enters into force, the in-quota quantity will be proportional to the number of days remaining in that year.

Annex III.3.2

Special Safeguards

1. Each Party may, for the agricultural goods specified by each Party in Appendix III.3.2.1 adopt a special safeguard in the form of a tariff rate quota if the volume of imports of that good from the other Party exceeds the trigger level for that good specified in Appendix III.3.2.1

2. The trigger levels specified in Appendix III.3.2.1 shall be increased by 5 percent on January 1 of each year for ten years after the year of entry into force of the Agreement unless otherwise provided.

3. Notwithstanding Article III.3 (Tariff Elimination) a Party may not apply an over-quota tariff rate under a special safeguard for a good specified in Appendix III.3.2.1 that exceeds the lesser of: (a) the applied MFN rate as of April 1, 2001; or (b) the MFN rate in effect at the time the special safeguard is implemented.

4. A Party proposing to implement an over-quota tariff under this Annex shall provide the other Party with 15 days advance notice and upon request, shall enter into consultations with that Party within 15 days.

7. Any supplies of the good in question which were en route on the basis of a contract settled before any additional over-quota tariff is imposed shall be exempted from the over-quota tariff, provided that they may be counted in the volume of imports of the product in question during the following year for the purposes of triggering the provisions of paragraph 1 in that year.

8. The provisions of this Annex shall apply to the goods specified in Appendix III.3.2.1 for the duration of the phase-out period of each good.

Chapter III : Footnotes

[1] “Goods of a Party” includes goods produced in the province of that Party.

[2] For the purpose of Article III.3, a good may refer to an originating good or a good which benefits from tariff elimination under a TPL.

[3] This paragraph is not intended to prevent either Party from modifying its tariffs outside this Agreement on goods for which no tariff preference is claimed under this Agreement. This paragraph does not prevent either Party from raising a tariff back to an agreed level in accordance with the phase-out schedule in this Agreement following a unilateral reduction.

[4] Paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article are not intended to prevent either Party from maintaining or increasing a customs duty as may be authorized by any dispute settlement provision of the WTO Agreement or any agreement under the WTO Agreement.

[5] Where another form of monetary security is used, it shall not be more burdensome than the bonding requirement referred to in this subparagraph. Where a Party uses a non-monetary form of security, it shall not be more burdensome than existing forms of security used by that Party.

[6] This paragraph does not cover goods imported in bond, into foreign trade zones, or in similar status, that are exported for repair and are not re-imported in bond, into foreign trade zones, or in similar status.

[7} An operation or process that is part of the production or assembly of an unfinished good into a finished good is not a repair or alteration of the unfinished good; a component of a good is a good that may be subject to repair or alteration.

Annex III.1: Footnotes

 
[1] The general provisions of Chapter II (General Definitions), Chapter III (National Treatment and Market Access of Goods), Chapter IV (Rules of Origin) and Chapter VI (Emergency Action) are subject to the specific rules for textiles and apparel goods set out in this Annex.

[2] For purposes of Sections 4 and 5:

(a) “increased quantities” is intended to be interpreted more broadly than the standard provided in Article VI.2.1 (Bilateral Actions), which considers imports “in absolute terms” only. For purposes of these sections, “increased quantities” is intended to be interpreted in the same manner as this standard is interpreted in the WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing; and

(b) “serious damage” is intended as a less stringent standard than “serious injury” under Article VI.2.1 (Bilateral Actions). The “serious damage” standard is drawn from the WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing. The factors to be considered in determining whether the standard has been met are set out in Section 4.2 and are also drawn from that Agreement. “Serious damage” is to be interpreted in the light of its meaning in that Agreement.[

3] In paragraph 5(c), the term “equitable treatment” is intended to have the same meaning as it has in customary practice under the WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing.
