THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 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 Community import rules, and in particular Article 28 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Montenegro, of the other part, was signed on 15 October 2007. The Interim Agreement on trade and trade related matters will enter into force on 1 January 2008. The Interim Agreement will allow the trade provisions of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement to apply provisionally pending its ratification. Therefore, the Republic of Montenegro should be removed from the scope of application of Regulation (EC) No 517/94 from the date of implementation of the Interim Agreement.

(2) After the removal of all components of the former Yugoslavia from the scope of application of Regulation (EC) No 517/94, Kosovo as defined by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of 10 June 1999 is the only territory in the region subject to textile quotas. Therefore and in view of the lack of textile industry, it is considered appropriate that Kosovo is also excluded from the scope of application of Regulation (EC) No 517/94 in order to avoid any discrimination against this territory.

(3) Regulation (EC) No 517/94 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee established by Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 517/94,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
