NOTIFICATION  
The following submission, dated 19 May  2020, is being circulated at the request of the Delegation 
of Norway . The notification concerns imports under tariff quotas ( Table  MA:2 ) during the 
Calendar Year  2019 . 
 
_______________  
 
 
The import data in this document provides the Table MA:2 notification for 2019. Both minimum 
access quotas and current access quotas for cheese, sheep meat, meat to promotional fairs, meat 
of game, apples, pears, hay and turkey roll are i ncluded in the notification. For other current 
access quotas included in Norway's Schedule, as of 2000 the bound MFN tariff has been at the 
level of the in -quota tariff. A tariff -only regime applies to these TRQs from 2000 and onwards. 
Since Norway has ful filled its commitments, for the current access quotas with a tariff -only regime, 
these will not be a part of the notification.
