A.   Letter from the Union

Sir,
Following negotiations under Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of the Schedule of the Republic of Croatia in the course of its accession to the European Union, I have the honour to propose the following:
The European Union shall incorporate in its schedule, for the customs territory of the EU 28, the concessions contained in the schedule of the EU 27 with the following modifications:






 


Add 76 tonnes to the country allocated (Uruguay) EU tariff rate quota ‘boneless meat of bovine animals, fresh or chilled; edible offal of bovine animals, thick skirt and thin skirt, fresh or chilled’, tariff item numbers ex 0201 30 00 and ex 0206 10 95, maintaining the present in-quota rate of 20 %. The new tariff rate quota shall be 4 076 tonnes;










 


Add 1 875 tonnes to the EU tariff rate quota ‘Meat of bovine animals, frozen — Edible offal of bovine animals, frozen’, tariff item numbers 0202 and 0206 29 91, maintaining the present in-quota rate of 20 %. The new tariff rate quota shall be 54 875 tonnes.




The European Union and the Eastern Republic of Uruguay shall notify each other of the completion of their internal procedures for the entry into force of the agreement. The agreement shall enter into force 14 days after the date of receipt of the latest notification.
I should be obliged if you would confirm that your Government is in agreement with the above. I have the honour to propose that, if the above is acceptable to your Government, this letter and your confirmation shall together constitute an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Eastern Republic of Uruguay.
Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.
