           shall apply only to the following products :
           ( a ) fabrics woven on hand- ór foot-operated looms , being fabrics of a kind traditionally made in the
                 cottage industry of Singapore ;

           ( c) traditional folklore textile products of Singapore made by hand in the cottage industry of
                 Singapore as defined in a list to be agreed between both parties .
           Exemption shall be granted only for products accompanied by a certificate issued by the competent
           Singapore authorities in accordance with the specimen annexed to this Protocol . Such certificates shall
           state the ground on which exemption is based and shall be accepted by the competent Community

           out in this Protocol . Certificates covering the products referred to in paragraph ( c ) above shall bear a

           consultations shall be held within one month with a view to resolving such divergences . Should
           imports of any of the above products reach such proportions as to cause difficulties to the Community ,

           Article 16 of the Agreement with a view to finding a quantitative solution to the problem .
