requirements governing the importation into Chile of fresh bananas ( Musa spp.) of any origin, 
amendment of Resolution No. 3920 of 1998 and repeal of Resolution No. 505 of 2010", had to be

shall be scheduled with the respective NPPO to take place within a maximum period of three years 
from the entry i nto force of this Resolution.
