PŘÍLOHA
Your Excellency,
I would like to draw to your attention an error of form in Article 3 of Protoco l No 1 to the Agreement between the
European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway. This Article provi des for a special timetable for the
reduction of customs duties on imports into the Community as originally co nstituted and Ireland of products of
subheading No 76.01 A and of heading No 76.02 or 76.03 of the common Customs T ariff.
Owing to the error, the timetable of Article 3 of Protocol No 1 contains only the schedule of tariff reductions based
on the basic duties – as defined in Article 5 (1) of the Agreement – applied on 1 January 1972 by the Community
asoriginallyconstituted.ThebasicdutiesappliedbyIrelandon1Januar y1972beingdifferent,thescheduleoftariff
reductions for Ireland ought to be mentioned separately, as has been done f or other products in Article 1 (2) and
Article 2 (1) of Protocol No 1.
TheIrishdutyappliedon1January1972toproductsofsubheadingNo76.01a ndofcertainsubheadingsofheading
Nos 76.02 or 76.03 was zero (Annex). According to Article 3 (1) of the Agreem ent these duties will remain zero.
