NOTIFICATION  
The following submission, dated 15 May 2019, 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 2018 . 
 
_______________  
 
 
The import data in this document provides the Table MA:2 notification for 2018. 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 included 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 
fulfilled its commitments, for the current access quotas with a tariff -only regime, these will not be a 
part of the notification.
