Dear Ambassador Szepesi,
I have pleasure in enclosing herewith the notifications under Articles 2.6, 2.7(b), 2.8(a),
2.8(b) and 2.11
1 of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing.
The enclosed lists of the first, second and third stages of integration programmes are based on
the total volume of our imports of the products lis ted in the Annex to the Agreement on Textiles and
Clothing for the year 1990. The products integrated within the first stage of the integration
programme represents 16.05 percent of the total textiles imports of 1990, while the integrated
products of the second and the third stages represent 17.15 percent and 18.36 percent respectively.
It would be appreciated if the TMB could circulate the above notifications to the Members of
the WTO accordingly.
Please accept, Ambassador, the assurance of my highest consideration.
Sincerely yours
(Signed)
