Dear Mr. Chairman,
Pursuant to the instructions from my authorities, I have to convey that prior to the entering
into force of the WTO Agreement, Pakistan had  never maintained any MFA type import restrictions
on any textiles and clothing product.  The Government of Pakistan has decided to integrate the entire
textiles sector as part of the Stage 3 integration.
Pakistan accordingly notifies to the TMB that the whole of the textiles and clothing sector
shall henceforth be governed by the normal GATT 1994 rules.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed)
Nasim Qureshi
