2.6. Should one or more acceding countries not join the European Union the adjustments calculated for this or these countries shall be deducted from the limits set out in the Appendices to this letter and the respective amendments mentioned under point 2.2 shall not enter into force.

2.7. Notwithstanding the modifications referred to under points 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5, during a transitional period that will end on 30 June 1995, the competent authorities of Argentina shall be authorized to continue issuing

the forms that were in use in 1994.

2.8. Should inaccuracies appear in the trade figures used to establish the adjustments contained in Appendices I and II, technical revisions of these adjustments will be made following consultations and provided that the request for consultations is made not later than 28 February 1995.

Sir,

1. I have the honour to refer to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Indonesia on trade in textile products initialled on 28 June 1986, as last amended and extended by the exchange of letters initialled on 27 November 1992.

Should the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing not become applicable in our relationships Annex II of the Agreement which sets out the quantitative restrictions for exports from the Republic of Indonesia to the European Union is replaced for the period 1 January to 31 December 1995 by Appendix II to this letter.

2.2. Article 14, paragraph 2, subparagraph 2, second indent of Protocol A, Title III, Section II should be amended as follows:

"- two letters identifying the intended Member State of customs clearance as follows:

BL = Benelux

DE = Federal Republic of Germany

DK = Denmark

EL = Greece

2.3. The Annex to Protocol A, setting out the model of the certificate of origin, is replaced by Appendix III to this letter.

2.4. The Annex to Protocol A, setting out the model of the export licence, is replaced by Appendix IV to this letter.

2.5. The Annex to Protocol B setting out the model of the certificate applicable to certain cottage industry and folklore products is replaced by Appendix V to this letter.

2.6. Should the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing become applicable in our relationships, as a consequence of the accession of the Republic of Indonesia and the European Community to the WTO, Appendix VI sets out the notional quantitative restrictions for economic outward processing operations for the enlarged Community to be considered, for the purposes of notification to the Textiles Monitoring Body, as those maintained by the enlarged Community and in force before the day of entry into force of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing, within the meaning of Article 2 of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing.

Should the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing not become applicable in our relationships the Annex to Protocol E of the Agreement which sets out the quantitative restrictions for economic outward processing operations is replaced for the period 1 January to 31 December 1995 by Appendix II to this letter.

2.8. Notwithstanding the modifications referred to under points 2.3, and 2.4 and 2.5, during a transitional period that will end on 30 June 1995, the competent authorities of the Republic of India shall be authorized to continue issuing the forms that were in use in 1994.

2.9. Should inaccuracies appear in the trade figures used to establish the adjustments contained in Appendices I, II, VI and VII, technical revisions of these adjustments will be made following consultations and provided that the request for consultations is made not later than 28 February 1995.

Letter from the Council of the European Union

Sir,

1. I have the honour to refer to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Korea on trade in textile products initialled on 7 August 1986, as last amended and extended by the exchange of letters initialled on 18 December 1992.

2. In order to take into account the likely accession of the Republic of

Austria, the Republic of Finland, and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union on 1 January 1995, the European Community considers that the following amendments should be made to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Korea on trade in textile products:

2.1. Should the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing become applicable in our relationships, as a consequence of the accession of the accession of the Republic of South Korea and the European Community to the WTO, Appendix I sets out the notional quantitative restrictions for the enlarged Community to be considered, for the purposes of the notification to the Textiles Monitoring Body, as those maintained by the enlarged Community and in force before the day of entry into force of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing, withing the meaning of Article 2 of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing.

Should the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing not become applicable in our relationships Annex II of the Agreement which sets out the quantitative restrictions for exports from the Republic of Korea to the European Union is replaced for the period 1 January to 31 December 1995 by Appendix II to this letter.

2.2. Article 14, paragraph 2, subparagraph 2, second indent for Protocol A, Title IV, Section II should be amended as follows:

"- two letters identifying the intended Member State of customs clearance as follows:

AT = Austria

BL = Benelux

DE = Federal Republic of Germany

DK = Denmark

EL = Greece

ES = Spain

FI = Finland

FR = France

GB = United Kingdom

IE = Ireland

IT = Italy

PT = Portugal

SE = Sweden"

2.3. The Annex of Protocol A, setting out the model of the certificate of origin is replaced by Appendix III to this letter.

2.4. The Annex to Protocol A setting out the mondel of the export licence is replaced by Appendix IV to this letter.

2.5. The Annex to Protocol B setting out the model of the certificate applicable to certain cottage industry and folklore products is replaced by Appendix V to this letter.

2.6. Should one or more acceding countries not join the European Union the adjustments calculated for this or these countries shall be deducted from the "Limits" set out in the Appendices I and II to this letter and the respective amendments mentioned under point 2.2 shall not enter into force.

2.7. Notwithstanding the modifications referred to under points 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5, during a transitional period that will end on 30 June 1995, the

competent authorities of the Republic of Korea shall be authorized to continue issuing the forms that were in use in 1994.

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

2.1. Should the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing become applicable in our relationships, as a consequence of the accession of the accession of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and the European Community to the WTO, Appendix I sets out the notional quantitative restrictions for the enlarged Community to be considered, for the purposes of the notifying to the Textiles Monitoring Body, as those maintained by the enlarged Community and in force before the day of entry into force of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing, withing the meaning of Article 2 of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing.

Should the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing not become applicable in our relationships Annex II of the Agreement which sets out the quantitative restrictions for exports from the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka to the European Union is replaced for the period 1 January to 31 December 1995 by Appendix II to this letter.

ES = Spain

FI = Finland

FR = France

GB = United Kingdom

IE = Ireland

IT = Italy

PT = Portugal

SE = Sweden"

2.3. The Annex of Protocol A, setting out the model of the certificate of origin is replaced by Appendix III to this letter.

2.4. The Annex to Protocol A setting out the mondel of the export licence is replaced by Appendix IV to this letter.

2.5. The Annex to Protocol B setting out the model of the certificate applicable to certain cottage industry and folklore products is replaced by Appendix V to this letter.

2.6. Should the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing become applicable in our relationships, as a consequence of the accession of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and the European Community to the WTO, Appendix VI sets out the notional quantitative restrictions for economic outward processing operations for the enlarged Community to be considered, for the purposes of notifying to the Textiles Monitoring Body, as those maintained by the enlarged Community and in force before the day of entry into force of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing, within the meaning of Article 2 of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing.

2.8. Notwithstanding the modifications referred to under points 2.3, and 2.4 and 2.5, during a transitional period that will end on 30 June 1995, the competent authorities of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka shall be authorized to continue issuing the forms that were in use in 1994.

Sir,

2.1. The following text is added after Article 10, paragraph 2:

"For the purposes of applying the provisions of paragraph 2 in the year 1995, the preceding year's total imports from all third countries shall be calculated on the basis of imports into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1994 and of imports into Austria, Finland and Sweden. Trade between the Community, Austria, Finland and Sweden, or between Austria, Finland, and Sweden shall be excluded from this total".

2.3. Article 14, paragraph 2, subparagraph 2, second indent of Protocol A, Title IV, should be amended as follows:

"- two letters identifying the intended Member State of customs clearance as follows:

AT = Austria

BL = Benelux

DE = Federal Republic of Germany

DK = Denmark

EL = Greece

ES = Spain

FI = Finland

FR = France

GB = United Kingdom

IE = Ireland

IT = Italy

PT = Portugal

SE = Sweden"

2.4. The Annex to Protocol A, setting out the model of the certificate of origin is replaced by Appendix II to this letter.

2.5. The Annex to Protocol A setting out the model of the export licence is

replaced by Appendix III to this letter.

2.6. The Annex to Agreed minute No 5 setting out the model of the certificate applicable to certain cottage industry and folklore products is replaced by Appendix IV to this letter.

2.8. Should one are more acceding countries not join the European Union the adjustments calculated for this or these countries shall be deducted from the "Adjusted limits 1995, 1996 and 1997" set out in Appendices I and V to this letter and the respective amendments mentioned under point 2.3 shall not enter into force.

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

For the Government

of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
