             Exemption shall be granted only for products accompanied by a certificate issued by the
             competent Colombian authorities in accordance with the specimen annexed to this Protocol .
             Such certificates shall state the grounds on which exemption is based and shall be accepted by

             products reach such proportions as to cause difficulties to the Community, the two Parties shall
             open consultations forthwith in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17 of the
             Agreement with a view to finding a quantitative solution to the problem .
