Geneva ,

Sir ,

With reference to the exchange of letters initialled this day by our delegations concerning the threshold prices and free-at-Spanish frontier prices to be observed for certain cheeses , I note that , with regard to tariff subheading 04.04 G1 b3 ( Edam , Gouda , etc. ) the preferential margin between the threshold price applicable in respect of non-Community countries and that applicable in respect of the Community has not been modified and is maintained at 630 pesetas/100 kg . The corresponding free-at-Spanish frontier price to be observed by the Community is consequently fixed at 9 763 pesetas/100 kg .
