Dear Ambassador Szepesi,
This is in response to your letter of 30 January 2002, requesting further information relating
to Canada’s notification of 2 January 2002, of the quantitative restraints that were in place on31 December 2001, on exports from the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and
Matsu (Chinese Taipei) of certain textile and apparel products to Canada.
Canada wishes to confirm that, further to paragraph 167 of the Report of the Working Party
on the Accession of the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu(WT/ACC/TPKM/18), all of the quantitative restraints with Chinese Taipei notified in Canada’s
notification of 2 January 2002, were notified pursuant to Article 2 of the Agreement on Textiles and
Clothing (ATC).
Canada also wishes to confirm that it eliminated on 1 January 2002, the quantitative restraints
on imports from Chinese Taipei of those products that Canada had integrated during the first three
stages of integration under the ATC.  In addition, as in the case of other WTO Members, Canada didnot adjust downward the levels of those restrain ts against imports from Chinese Taipei where
products had been removed from the coverage of these restraints during the third stage of integration
(i.e., partially integrated restraints).
The limitations on “combined flexibility” indica ted in column “G” in the Annex of Canada’s
2 January 2002, notification were eliminated on 1 January 2002 pursuant to paragraph 16 of Article 2
of the ATC.
With respect to the quota “growth-on-growth” provisions stipulated in paragraphs 13 and 14
of Article 2 of the ATC, Canada increased the growth rate on the remaining restraints with ChineseTaipei by 27 per cent on 1 January 2002.
With regard to the footnotes concerning “extended fibre coverage” for Group I categories in
the above-mentioned Annex, these footnotes relate to the application of the extended fibre coverage
provided for under the Article 24(1) of the Protocol Extending the Arrangement RegardingInternational Trade in Textiles which Canada had invoked before the ATC came into force to include
under its restraints with Chinese Taipei goods containing blends of silk and vegetable fibres which
were directly competitive with other MFA textile and apparel products.G/TMB/N/62/ Add.4/Corr.1

Attached, for the TMB’s information, is a tabl e setting out the restraint levels and growth
rates for 2002, as well as other elements relating to the imports of products remaining under restraint
from Chinese Taipei.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed)
