                                                        PROTOCOL B
              1.    The exemption provided for in Article 5 of the Agreement in respect of cottage industry
             products shall apply only to the following products :
             ( a) fabrics woven on hand- or foot-operated looms , being fabrics of a kind traditionally made
                  in the cottage industry of Uruguay ;
             (b ) garments or other textile articles of a kind traditionally made in the cottage industry of
                   Uruguay obtained manually from the fabrics referred to above and sewn exclusively by
                  hand without the aid of any machine ;
             ( c) traditional folklore textile products of Uruguay made by hand in the cottage industry of
                  Uruguay as defined in a list to be agreed between both Parties and annexed to this
                  Protocol .
             Exemption shall be granted only for products accompanied by a certificate issued by the
             competent Uruguayan 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
             the competent Community authorities provided that they are satisfied that the products
             concerned conform to the conditions set out in this Protocol . Certificates covering the products
             referred to in paragraph ( c ) shall bear a conspicuous stamp : 'FOLKLORE'. Should there be a
             divergence of opinion between Uruguay and the competent Community authorities at the point
             of entry into the Community as to the nature of such products , 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 , 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 .
             2.     The provisions of Titles IV and V of Protocol A shall apply mutatis mutandis to the
             products referred to in paragraph 1 .
