            — to issue , before exportation of the products specified in the advance notice , an export licence conforming to the
                model annexed to Protocol A , and definitively to set off the quantity actually exported against the relevant
                quantitative limit for the year in which the exportation takes place ,
            — to ensure that the quantity actually exported shall not be greater than that specified in the advance
