Dear Ambassador Szepesi,
Iamwriting further tothenotification on1March 1995under Articles 2and3oftheAgreement
onTextiles andClothing (ATC), ofquantitative restraints maintained byCanada.
Thatnotification inadvertently omitted elements dealing withproduct andfibrecoverage and
certain flexibility provisions thatwere ineffect on31December 1994. Also omitted were certain
restraints onwork gloves thatwere ineffect on31December 1994 butwhich were removed on
1January 1995 under Canada 'sintegration programme; aswellasConsultation Levels withone
non-WTO Member. Moreover, thenotification erroneously indicated agrowth rateof7percentrather
than6percentinAgreement Item2from Bangladesh.
Please findattached (1)anaddendum containing thecorrections tobemade toCanada 's
1March1995notification;(2)asummaryofCanada'sapparelandclothingcategories;(3)anaddendum
thatwasagreed withHong Kong andwhich replicates the1March notification inrespect ofHong Kong
andincludes theelements thatwere omitted from thatnotification.
Yours sincerely,
(signed) JeanSaint-Jacques
