I have the honour to refer to the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement on trade in textile products between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Bulgaria, initialled on 21 April 1993. 2. In order to take into account the likely accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union on 1 January 1995, the European Community considers that the following amendments should be made to the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement on trade in textile products between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Bulgaria: 2.1.

Article 14, paragraph 2, subparagraph 2, second indent of Appendix A, Title IV, should be amended as follows: - AT = Austria BL = Benelux DE = Federal Republic of Germany DK = Denmark EL = Greece ES = Spain FI = Finland FR = France GB = United Kingdom IE = Ireland IT = Italy PT = Portugal SE = Sweden" 2.3. The Annex to Appendix A, setting out the model of the certificate of origin, is replaced by Appendix II to this letter. 2.4. The Annex to Appendix A, setting out the model of the export licence, is replaced by Appendix III to this letter. 2.5. The Annex to Appendix C, setting out the model of the certificate applicable to certain cottage industry and folklore products, is replaced by Appendix IV to this letter. 2.6. The Annex to Appendix B of the Additional Protocol, which sets out the quantitative limits for economic outward processing operations, is replaced by Appendix V to this letter. 2.7. Should one or more acceding countries not join the European Union the adjustments calculated for this or these countries shall be deducted from the "Adjusted limits" set out in the Appendices to this letter and the respective amendments mentioned under point 2.2 shall not enter into force. 2.8. Notwithstanding the modifications referred to under points 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5, during a transitional period that will end on 30 June 1995, the competent authorities of the Republic of Bulgaria shall be authorized to continue issuing the forms that were in use in 1994. 3. I should be obliged if you could kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government of the foregoing. Should this be the case, this Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the day on which the Parties have notified each other that the legal procedures necessary to this end have been completed.
