Summary: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 February 2017 amending Regulation (EU) 2015/936 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Union import rules. Further information: Recognizing the positive political developments in relations between the European Union and Belarus, and in order to further improve bilateral relations, in February 2016 the European Commission proposed to abolish the autonomous quotas on imports of textiles and clothing originating in Belarus, also considering their limited use. To that effect, Annexes II and III of Regulation (EU) 2015/936 should be amended accordingly. Background: The release of political prisoners in August 2015 and other positive initiatives undertaken by the Republic of Belarus over the last two years contributed to improved relations between the European Union and Belarus. The abolition of quotas on imports of textiles and clothing originating in Belarus will contribute among other measures to further improve relations. |
