Complaint by Hong Kong.
On 12 February 1996, Hong Kong requested
consultations with Turkey concerning Turkey’s quantitative
restrictions on imports of textile and clothing products. Hong Kong
claimed that those measures are in violation of GATT Articles XI and
XIII. The background to this dispute is a recently concluded customs
union agreement between Turkey and the European Communities. Hong Kong
claimed that GATT Article XXIV does not entitle Turkey to impose new
quantitative restrictions in the present case.
