                   The Community took note of this concern .

                                                    Article 19 of the Agreement
                8 . As regards the duration of the Agreement (Article 19(1 )), India and the Comunity agreed
                    that during the last year of application of the Agreement , consultations may be held
                    between the Parties with a view to considering an extension of the Agreement for a further
                    period of one year up to 31 December 1987 in the light of any successor arrangement to
                    the Geneva Arrangement.
                9 . Concerning the possible application of Article 1 9 ( 3 ) , India expressed its intention to seek
                    a major review of the Agreement during the first half of 1985 . The Community took note
                    of India's intention .
                                                     Protocol A, Article 8
             10 . As regards Article 8 ( 2 ) of Protocol A , India pointed out that an Indian exporter had no
                    control over the precise timing of departure of goods from India once they had been
                    handed over to the carrier. This is because of the many internal transit stages through
                    which such goods may pass in a country as large as India and also because of shortage of
                    cargo space and transporting capacity .
             The Community expressed understanding for these problems and undertook , that , if these
             difficulties gave rise to quota accounting problems in respect of the passage from one quota year
             to the next , the Community would enter into consultations in a constructive spirit with a view
             to finding a mutually acceptable solution .
                                                     Protocol A, Article 13
             11 . As regards Article 13 ( 2 ) of Protocol A , India indicated that a different numbering system
                    had recently been introduced in India and that the system had been computerized at
                    considerable expense . India was therefore unable to indicate when the new system could
                    be introduced . The Community took note .
