Hungary :  quantitative restrictions maintained on imports from China (12 July 2000)
Hungary intends to continue the application of quantitative restrictions on imports of footwear
and certain textiles and clothing products (see table below) after China's accession to the WTO.
Hungary is ready to undertake a phasing out of these non-tariff measures by the year 2005.
The restraint levels are to be based on the import data for 1999.  The annual quota growth, the
carry over and carry forward rates in the case of textiles and clothing products and the phasing-out
timetable on these restrictions remain to be negotiated between China and Hungary.
