Swiss Notification to the TMB
Dear Mr. Chairman,
Following your letter dated 30 January 2001, we would like to apologize for having caused
difficulties for the TMB's examination of the Sw iss notification of 21 December 2000.  A technical
problem encountered in formatting the list of products to be integrated for Stage Three resulted inerrors concerning the HS numbers.
We therefore enclose a corrected list of products, to which we have also added the total
volume of trade for 1990.
Please accept, Mr. Chairman, the assurances of our highest consideration.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed)
