NOTIFICATION 
 
  The following submission, dated 13 November 2008,  is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Norway .  The notification concerns imports under tariff quotas ( Table MA:2 ) for 
2005 , 2006  and 2007 . 
 
_______________ 
  
 The import data in this document provides the MA:2 notification for 2005, 2006 and 2007.  Both minimum access quotas and cu rrent access quotas for ch eese, sheep meat, meat to promotional 
fairs, meat of game, apples, pears and turkey roll are included in the notification.  Minimum access quotas are listed first.  For other current access quotas  included in the Norwegian 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.
