AGREEMENT in the form of an exchange of letters amending the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on trade in textile products

Letter No 1

Sir,

1. I have the honour to refer to the consultations held on 15 December 1991 between our respective delegations for the purpose of amending the Agreement on trade in textile products between the European Economic Community and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, initialled on 12 September 1986 and applied since 1 January 1987.

2. As a result of these consultations, both Parties agreed to amend Article 18 (1) of the above Agreement so as to extend the period of application of all the provisions of the Agreement for one more year, i.e. until 31 December 1992. Consequently, the Parties also agreed to amend Annex II and Protocol E of the Agreement as regards the quantitative limits for exports from Pakistan to the Community of the textile products referred thereto for the year 1992. The modified Annex II and Protocol E are appended to this letter (Appendices 1 and 2).

3. The Parties also agreed that as regards Article 14 (3) of the Agreement, the percentage of inter-regional transfers for the year 1992 is fixed at 40 %.

It is understood that if as a result of the application of the above percentage serious difficulties, following significant changes in the pattern of trade, occur in certain regions of the Community, both Parties shall hold consultations without delay with a view to reviewing the situation.

4. Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January 1992 and shall remain in force until 31 December 1992. The Parties agreed that this Agreement shall be applied provisionally from 1 January 1992.

5. I should be obliged if you would kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government to the foregoing.
