As a result of these consultations, both Parties agreed to amend point '8. Duration` of the  above Agreement. Point 8 will now read: 'It shall be applicable until 31 December 1994. Thereafter,  the application of all the provisions of this Agreement shall be extended automatically for a  period of one more year until 31 December 1995, unless either Party notifies the other at least six  months before 31 December 1994 that it does not agree with this extension. However, if the  Agreement on trade in textiles and clothing products resulting from the Uruguay Round GATT trade  negotiations is concluded and enters into force at an earlier date, this Agreement shall be  automatically terminated as of the date agreed for the implementation of the results of the Uruguay  Round GATT trade negotiations.`3. Both Parties agreed that this extension of the Agreement shall  enter into force on 1 January 1993 and shall be applied provisionally from that date. 4.
