HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:



Article 1

Objectives

Without prejudice to future negotiations under Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994 and for the purposes of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the Union only, the objective of this Agreement is to agree, subject to Article 2, on the modification of concessions as communicated to WTO Members in document G/SECRET/42/Add.2 and the resulting quantitative commitments of the Union that no longer includes the United Kingdom, in respect of the tariff rate quotas for which Chile has negotiating rights under Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994.


Article 2

Tariff rate quotas of the Union that no longer includes the United Kingdom


1.   In respect of the tariff rate quotas for which Chile has negotiating rights under Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994, Chile agrees with the proposed tariff rate quota quantity commitments as set out in document G/SECRET/42/Add.2 taken on by the Union after the United Kingdom's withdrawal.


2.   Notwithstanding paragraph 1, in respect of tariff rate quota 020 (meat of sheep or goats, fresh, chilled or frozen), Chile and the Union agree to the following change to scheduled commitments: the Union volume of the Chile country specific allocation shall be adjusted to 2 527 tonnes.



Article 3

The Union’s ongoing negotiations under Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994


1.   The Parties acknowledge that the Union is continuing to conduct negotiations and consultations with other WTO Members holding negotiating or consultation rights under Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994 as a consequence of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the Union as communicated to WTO Members.


2.   As a result of those negotiations and consultations, the Union may consider a change to the shares and quantities set out in Article 2 or those in document G/SECRET/42/Add.2. In the event of such a change with regard to a prior tariff rate quota commitment of the Union for which Chile has a negotiating right, the Union shall consult Chile with a view to seeking a mutually satisfactory outcome before proceeding to any such change, without prejudice to each party’s rights under Article XXVIII of the GATT 1994.
