Notes: 
1. Switzerland, in accordance with the foot note to Part IV, Section II, of Schedule LIX Switzerland-Liechtenstein, reserves the  right to take such fluctuations into account when 
implementing its commitments with regard to  fruit with multi-year production cycles. 
2. As a result of an inconsistency between national legislatio n and export subsidy commitments (Part IV, Section II, of Switzer land's Schedule LIX), this tariff line has been 
partially eligible for export drawbacks.  Switzerland has amended the national legislation in question to bring itself into lin e with its obligations.
