             Sir ,
             I have the honour to refer to the Additional Protocol to the Agreement on trade in textile products
             consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community ,
             initialled on 10 December 1985 .
             In order to take account of the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the
             Community , the Community and the Socialist Republic of Romania have further agreed in the course
             of the negotiations on the said Additional Protocol that the provisions of the Agreement in the form of
             an Exchange of Letters between Romania and the Community concerning exports of products of flax
             and ramie to the Community shall also apply to exports of these products from Romania to Spain and
             Portugal under the same conditions as those set out in the Additional Protocol .
             It is therefore necessary to modify the Community quantitative limits fixed for 1986 as indicated in the
             Annex to this letter .
             The entry into force and duration of these arrangements shall be identical to those of the
             abovementioned Additional Protocol .
             Please accept, Sir , the assurance of my highest consideration .

             Sir ,
             I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of today's date , which reads as follows:
                   'I have the honour to refer to the Additional Protocol to the Agreement on trade in textile products
                   consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the
                   Community , initialled on 10 December 1985 .
                   In order to take account of the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to
                   the Community , the Community and the Socialist Republic of Romania have further agreed in the
                   course of the negotiations on the said Additional Protocol that the provisions of the Agreement in
                   the Form of an Exchange of Letters between Romania and the Community concerning exports of
                   products of flax and ramie to the Community shall also apply to exports of these products from
                   Romania to Spain and Portugal under the same conditions as those set out in the Additional
                  Protocol .
                  It is therefore necessary to modify the Community quantitative limits fixed for 1986 as indicated in
                  the Annex to this letter .
                  The entry into force and duration of these arrangements shall be identical to those of the
                  abovementioned Additional Protocol .'.
             I have the honour to inform the Community that my Government confirms that the foregoing is in
             accordance with the conclusions reached following the negotiations on this matter between the
             European Economic Community and the Socialist Republic of Romania .
             Please accept , Sir , the assurance of my highest consideration .
                                                                                        For the Government of the
