Should one or more acceding countries not join the European Union the adjustments calculated for this or these countries shall be deducted from the "Adjusted limits 1995, 1996 and 1997" set out in Appendices I and V to this letter and the respective amendments mentioned under point 2.3 shall not enter into force. 2.9. Notwithstanding the modifications referred to under points 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6, during a transitional period that will end on 30 June 1995, the competent authorities of Mongolia shall be authorized to continue issuing the forms that were in use in 1994. 2.10. Should inaccuracies appear in the trade figures used to establish the adjustments contained in Appendices I and V, technical revisions of these adjustments will be made following consultations and provided that the request for consultations is made not later than 28 February 1995. 3.
