§ Mr. Mike Nobleasked the Secretary of State for Trade to what extent imports of individual categories of textile goods are to be limited as a result of the controls recently imposed by the EEC on merchandise from Taiwan.
§ Mr. DeakinsNotice to Importers No. 1534, published inTrade and Industry on 16th January, sets out the quota arrangements for textile imports from Taiwan. As stated in the notice, it was necessary to combine the 1975 and 1976 quotas for some categories, because of overshipment in 1975. The approximate balance remaining for these quotas for 1976 is as follows:
Category 1 Nil. Category 4(a) 394 tonnes. Category 4(b) 186 tonnes. Category 6(a) Nil. Category 7(a) 8,144 thousand articles. Category 7(b) Nil. Category 8(a) Nil. Category 8(b) Nil. Category 8(c) Nil. Category 8(d) Nil. Category 8(e) 81 tonnes. Category 9(b) 106 tonnes.
§ Mr. Mike Nobleasked the Secretary of State for Trade what the rate of growth of textile imports, by category, will be from India, Pakistan and the Republic of Korea, for each member State of the EEC in 1975, 1976 and 1977, as a result of the recently concluded agreements on trade in textiles between the EEC and these respective Governments.
§ Mr. DeakinsThe information in the table below is based on data compiled by the EEC Commission. In all cases the percentages represent year-on-year rates of growth in the permitted quota levels. As regards India and Pakistan, no percentage growth rates can be shown for 1975, except where the United Kingdom had a comparable quota in 1974, because insufficient data are available to enable a comparison to be made between quota levels in that year and imports net of re-exports by quota categories in 1974. As regards the Republic of Korea, no percentages are shown for 1975 and 1976 because insufficient data are available to calculate imports net of re-exports by quota categories in 1975. No allowance has been made for flexibility in the use of quotas.
