NOTIFICATION  
The following submission, dated 30  April 2018, 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 2017.  
 
_______________  
 
 
The import data in this document provides the Table MA:2 notification for 2017. 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 not ification. 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 commitm ents, for the current access quotas with a tariff -only regime, 
these will not be a part of the notification.
