Dear Mr. Chairman,
Pursuant to Article 2.7 and Article 2.11 of the ATC, I have the honour to notify the Textiles
Monitoring Body (TMB) the first, second and thir d stages of the integration programme of the
People's Republic of China under Article 2.6 and Article 2.81 of the ATC, as attached.
The total volume of China's 1990 imports of the products in the Annex of the ATC in HS
terms is not available as the Harmonized System had not been implemented by China until 1992.
Therefore, the total volume of the imports in 1992, which amounts to 3,092.8 thousand tons, is used
as the basis of calculation for the integration programme.
Trade volumes in 1992 of the integrated products in the three stages are 495.0 thousand tons,
534.8 thousand tons and 561.6 thousand tons, accounting for 16.00 per cent, 17.29 per cent and 18.16
per cent of the total volume of the 1992 imports respectively.
I would like to request that the notification be circulated to WTO Members.With my best regards.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed)
