Regulation (EC) No 1518/2003 is hereby amended as follows:
(a) in Article 2(1) the following subparagraph is added:"However, for products falling within CN code 0203, export licences issued in February 2004 shall be valid only until the end of the second month following that of their issue and those issued in March 2004 shall be valid only until the end of the month following that of their issue."
