RECTIFICATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS OF SCHEDULES
Schedule LXIII - Egypt
The following communication, dated 18 May 1998, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of the Arab Republic of Egypt.
_______________
With reference to the consolidated Schedule LXIII – Egypt annexed to the Marrakesh
Protocol containing the Egyptian commitments on goods resulting from the Uruguay Round
negotiations and according to the Procedures of Rectifications and Modifications of Schedules
contained in the Decision of March 1980, I wish to notify some technical corrections to be made to
the Egyptian schedule.  Most of the errors occurred  during the preparation of Egypt's final version of
its Uruguay Round Schedule.
The rectifications made to the Egyptian schedule are listed in the annex and do not change the
value of the concessions granted by Egypt during the Uruguay Round negotiations.  Many of these
rectifications are made to align the descriptions to the Harmonized System nomenclature.
At the same time, Egypt is submitting a revised consolidated schedule reflecting the changes
which were introduced in the Harmonized System Nomenclature on 1 January 1996.  All changes
resulting either from rectifications or from HS96 changes are indicated in bold characers.
Concordance tables are also submitted.
_______________
If no objection is notified to the Secretariat within three months from the date of this
document, the rectifications and modifications to Schedule LXIII – Egypt w ill be deemed to be
approved and will be formally certified.
Copies of the document (English only) are av ailable in electronic form (Excel) from the
Document Dissemination Facility (DDF) under "Market Access Schedules—Rectifications and
Modifications".  It is also available in paper form from the Market Access Division (Ms. Wood,
Office 3142, Tel 739 50 79).G/MA/TAR/RS/50
