                                                             Letter No 1

                 Sir,
                 1 . I have the honour to refer to the consultations held on 14 December 1992 between our
                        respective delegations for the purpose of amending the Agreement in the form of an exchange
                        of letters on trade in textile products between the European Economic Community and the
                        Republic of Guatemala, applied since 1 January 1987, as extended by the exchange of letters
                        applied since 1 January 1992.
                 2 . 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 . I should be obliged if you would kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government to the
                     foregoing.
                 5 . Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

                                                                                            For the Council
                                                                                  of the European Communities

             2. 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.

                 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

      etter .
