Trade Organisation (WTO) (cid:151) first, second and third stage of integration under the agreement on

Following the accession of the separate customs territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu to the
WTO on 1 January 2002, the European Community and the separate customs territory of Taiwan, Penghu,
Kinmen and Matsu have agreed to implement the removal of quantitative restrictions on the textile and
clothing categories related to the first, second and third stage of integration on that same day.

As of that date, the abovementioned categories will no longer require the issue of export licences and will
fall under the general provisions concerning certificates of origin. As a result these products will no longer
require import authorisations for customs clearance, regardless of the date of shipment.
