Hvis ændringerne af de bilaterale tekstilaftaler og -arrangementer ikke er trådt i kraft den 1. maj 2004, foretager Unionen de nødvendige tilpasninger af reglerne for import af tekstilvarer og beklædningsgenstande fra tredjelande for at tage hensyn til de nye medlemsstaters tiltrædelse.  
Should the amendments to the bilateral textile agreements and arrangements not have entered into force by 1 May 2004, the Union shall make the necessary adjustments to its rules for the import of textile and clothing products from third countries to take into account the accession of the new Member States.
