            in Article 7 ( 1 ) of the Agreement will be applied pro rata .
                    Joint declaration by the Contracting Parties on Article 10 of the Agreement
            The Contracting Parties agree that, without prejudice to the implementation of the first
            subparagraph of Article 22 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, the products listed in

            admitted into the Community during the period for which the reductions in duty are
            applicable free of quantitative restrictions and measures having equivalent effect.
            Furthermore, the Contracting Parties agree that, where reference is made in the
             Agreement to the provisions of Articles 23 to 28 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, the
            Community is referring to the arrangements applicable to third countries at the time of

                As regards veterinary, health and plant health matters, the Contracting Parties shall
                apply their rules in a non-discriminatory fashion and shall refrain from introducing
