The Republic of Korea shall also notify the Commission of any change in this information.Article 201. Subsequent verification of certificates of origin or export licences shall be carried out at random, or whenever the competent Community authorities have reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the certificate or licence or as to accuracy of the information regarding the products in question.2. In such cases the competent authorities in the Community shall return the certificate of origin or export licence or a copy thereof to the competent governmental authority in the Republic of Korea giving, where appropriate, the reasons of form or substance for an enquiry. If the invoice has been submitted, such invoice or a copy thereof shall be attached to the certificate or licence or its copy. The authorities shall also forward any information that has been obtained suggesting that the particulars given on the said certificate or licence are inaccurate.3. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall be applicable to subsequent verifications of the declarations of origin referred to in Article 2 of this Protocol.4. The results of the subsequent verifications carried out in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be communicated to the competent authorities of the Community within three months at the latest. The information communicated shall indicate whether the disputed certificate or licence applied to the goods actually exported and whether these goods are eligible for export in accordance with the arrangements established by this Agreement. The information shall also include, at the request of the Community, copies of all documentation necessary to determine the facts fully and in particular the true origin of the goods.Should such verifications reveal systematic irregularities in the use of declarations of origin, the Community may subject imports of the products in question to the provisions of Article 2 (1) of this Protocol.5. For the purpose of subsequent verification of certificates of origin, copies of the certificates as well as any export documents referring to them shall be kept for at least two years by the competent governmental authority in the Republic of Korea.6. Recourse to the random verification procedure specified in this Article must not constitute an obstacle to the release for home use of the products in question.Article 211. Where the verification procedure referred to in Article 20 or where information available to the Community or to the Republic of Korea indicates or appears to indicate that the provisions of this Agreement are being contravened, both Parties shall cooperate closely and with appropriate urgency to prevent such contravention.2. To this end the Republic of Korea shall on its own initiative or at the request of the Community, carry out appropriate enquiries or arrange for such enquiries to be carried out concerning operations which are, or appear to the Community to be in contravention of this Agreement.

These exchanges may include information on textile production in the Republic of Korea and on trade in textile products of a kind covered by this Agreement, between the Republic of Korea and other countries, particularly where the Community has reasonable grounds to consider that the products in question may be in transit across the territory of the Republic of Korea prior to their importation into the Community. This information shall include at the request of the Community copies of all relevant documentation.5. Where it is established that the provisions of this Agreement have been contravened, the Republic of Korea and the Community may agree to take such measures as are necessary to prevent a recurrence of such contravention.>INÍCIO DE GRÁFICO>>FIM DE GRÁFICO>>INÍCIO DE GRÁFICO>>FIM DE GRÁFICO>PROTOCOL B 1.

Exports of Korean origin not covered by Korean export licences issued in accordance with the provisions of this Protocol may be refused the issue of import authorizations or documents by the competent Community authorities.However, if the import of such products is allowed into the Community by the competent Community authorities, the quantities involved shall not be set off against the appropriate quantitative limits set out in Annex II or established as a result of the application of Article 8 of the Agreement, without the express agreement of the Republic of Korea save as provided for in Article 11 of the Agreement.TITLE IVFORM AND PRODUCTION OF EXPORT CERTIFICATES AND CERTIFICATES OF ORIGIN, AND COMMON PROVISIONSArticle 141.

The Republic of Korea and the Community agree to cooperate fully in preventing the circumvention of this Agreement by transhipment, rerouting or whatever other means.2. Where information available to the Community as a result of the investigations carried out in accordance with the procedures set out in Protocol A constitutes evidence that products of Korean origin subject to quantitative limits established under this Agreement have been transhipped, rerouted or otherwise imported into the Community in circumvention of this Agreement, the Community may request the opening of consultations in accordance with the procedures described in Article 16 (1), with a view to reaching agreement on an equivalent adjustment of the corresponding quantitative limits established under this Agreement.3. Pending the result of the consultations referred to in paragraph 2, the Republic of Korea shall as a precautionary measure, if so requested by the Community, make the necessary arrangements to ensure that adjustments of quantitative limits liable to be agreed following the consultations referred to in paragraph 2, may be carried out for the quota year in which the request to open consultations in accordance with paragraph 2 was made, or for the following year if the quota for the current year is exhausted, where clear evidence of circumvention is provided.4. Should the Parties be unable in the course of consultations to reach a satisfactory solution within the period specified in Article 16, the Community shall have the right, where clear evidence of circumvention has been provided, to deduct from the quantitative limits established under this Agreement amounts equivalent to the products of Korean origin.Article 121. The Republic of Korea shall endeavour to ensure that exports of textile products subject to quantitative limits are spaced out as evenly as possible over an Agreement year, due account being taken, in particular, of seasonal factors.2. Should there be an excessive concentration of imports on any product within a category subject to quantitative limits under this Agreement, the Community may request consultations in accordance with the procedure specified in Article 16 of this Agreement with a view to remedying this situation. Article 13Should recourse be had to the denunciation provisions of Article 18 (4), the quantitative limits established in Annex II shall be adapted on a pro rata basis. Article 141. For the purpose of the administration of this Agreement, the limits referred to in Article 3 are broken down by the Community into shares for each of its Member States.2. Portions of the quantitative limits established in Annex II not used in one Member State of the Community may be reallocated to another Member State in accordance with the procedures in force in the Community.The Community undertakes to examine with care and reply within four weeks to any request made for reallocation by the Republic of Korea. In the event of agreement on such reallocation, the flexibility provisions set out in Article 7 shall continue to be applicable to the levels of the original allocation.If, in the course of the application of this Agreement, the Republic of Korea finds that the break-down of a limit established in Annex II causes particular difficulties, it may request the opening of consultations in accordance with Article 16 with a view to reaching a mutually satisfactory solution.3. After the first of June of each year of application of the Agreement, the Republic of Korea may transfer, subject to prior notification to the Community, the unused quantities of the regional quota-shares of a Community quantitative limit, set out in Annex II, to the quota-shares of the same limit of other regions of the Community provided that the regional quota-share from which the transfer is made is utilized by less than 80 %, and up to the amount of thefollowing percentages of the quota-share to which the transfer is made:- 1 % in the first year of the application of the Agreement,- 2 % in the second year of the application of the Agreement,- 4 % in the third year of the application of the Agreement,- 6 % in the fourth year of the application of the Agreement.The percentage in the fifth year of application of the Agreement shall be determined following consultation between the parties.4.
