             Sir ,
             I have the honour to refer to the Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European
             Economic Community and the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic on trade in textile products,
             consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community
             initialled on 27 November 1985 .
             In order to take account of the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the
             Community , the Community and Czechoslovakia have further agreed in the course of negotiations on
             the said Additional Protocol , that the provisions of the Exchange of Letters between Czechoslovakia
             and the Community concerning exports of certain products of flax and ramie from Czechoslovakia to
             the Community shall also apply to exports of these products from Czechoslovakia 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 in Annex II to the
             Exchange of Letters . The modified limits are annexed to this letter .
             The entry into force and duration of these arrangements shall be identical to those of the
