Ref:  Textiles Notification
Sir,
I have the honour to refer to your note of 5 April 2001 in which you asked for clarification
concerning the notification made by Paraguay in the note MPG/OI/MOC/N °20/011, dated
14 March 2001.
In the aforementioned note, you informed me th at the Textiles Monitoring Body (TMB) was
unclear as to whether the notification made by Paraguay contained products from the four categories,
as is required under Article 2.8(b) of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC), and requested
that Paraguay clarify above all whether the said notification contains products corresponding to thecategory 'tops and yarns'.
Given that the notification was made in conformity with Article 2.8(b) of the ATC, Paraguay
considers itself to have complied with the requirements laid down in this Article.  If the TMB, given
its in-depth knowledge of the subject and the expertise of its members, considers any of the fourcategories stated in Article 2.8(b) to be absent from Paraguay's notification, I should be grateful if you
would kindly notify this Permanent Mission accordingly.
Accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.
(Signed)
Doctor Luis María RAMIREZ BOETTNER
