Vice-President

of the Commission of the

European Communities

Sir,

At its meeting in Brussels on 3 and 4 November 1981, the Joint Committee established by the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Republic of Romania of 28 July 1980 recommended that inter alia in Annexes I and II to the Protocol on the application of Article 4 of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Republic of Romania on trade in industrial products, the list of products should be extended and some of the amounts relating thereto should be increased.

The recommended amendments are set out in Annex I and Annex II hereto. It was also proposed, within the Joint Committee, that new products be inserted in Annex II (e) to the exchange of letters No 2 attached to the Agreement on trade in industrial products. These products are listed in Annex III attached hereto.

I have the honour to inform you that the Council of the European Communities has stated its agreement on the implementation of these measures from 1 January 1982.

I should be grateful for confirmation of your Government's agreement with the contents of this letter.

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.
