b) i) Nonostante le disposizioni del paragrafo 1 dell'articolo I dell'Accordo generale, il presente Protocollo non comporterà, in materia di dazi o di tasse all'importazione, la soppressione da parte della Repubblica araba unita, delle preferenze da essa accordate esclusivamente ad uno o più dei seguenti paesi: Giordania, Siria, Irak, Libano, Libia, Arabia Saudita e Yemen, a condizione tuttavia che tali preferenze non superino i livelli del 13 novembre 1962;

ii) il paragrafo che precede sarà considerato come decisione delle parti contraenti presa ai sensi dell'articolo XXV, paragrafo 5, dell'Accordo generale, come se si trattasse di una decisione presa ai sensi del paragrafo 3 dell'articolo I;

iii) qualora la Repubblica araba unita desiderasse in un secondo tempo modificare le preferenze di cui al precedente comma i), in particolare aggiungendovi prodotti che non sono attualmente oggetto di preferenze, la questione sarà discussa dalle parti contraenti conformemente al paragrafo 3 dell'articolo I dell'Accordo generale;

iv) le disposizioni di cui ai precedenti punti i), ii) e iii) lasciano impregiudicato il diritto della Repubblica araba unita di beneficiare delle disposizioni dell'Accordo generale relativo alla creazione di un'unione doganale o di una zona di libero scambio.

c) In tutti i casi in cui il paragrafo 6 dell'articolo V, il comma d) del paragrafo 4 dell'articolo VII e il comma c) del paragrafo 3 dell'articolo X dell'Accordo generale facciano riferimento alla data di detto Accordo, la data applicabile per quanto concerne la Repubblica araba unita sarà il 13 novembre 1962, data della dichiarazione concernente l'accesso provvisorio della Repubblica araba unita all'Accordo generale.
