The present levels of EU textile and clothing quotas have been adjusted to include imports into the 10 new Member States from May 1, 2004, i.e. eight months before the textile and clothing quota dismantling. The basic textiles import Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 has been amended by Council Regulation (EC) 487/2004 to list quota levels applicable from the date of the enlargement. The chosen methodology to amend the quantities takes into account the traditional imports into the new Member States, via a formula consisting of the average of the last three years' imports into the 10 new Member States originating in third countries, adjusted pro rata temporis. The years 2000 to 2002 have been selected as the most significant.
