A. Letter from the European Community
Geneva, 24 October 2008
Sir,
Following negotiations under Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of the Schedules of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania in the course of their accession to the European Union, the European Community and the Republic of Cuba have agreed as follows:
The European Community will incorporate in its schedule, for the customs territory of the EC-27, the following modification:
|
|
Add a country allocation (for Cuba) of 10 000 tonnes to the current volume of 106 925 tonnes in the EC tariff rate quota for raw cane sugar for refining (CN code 1701 11 10), maintaining the present in-quota rate of 98 EUR/t/net. |
|
|
For marketing year 2008/2009 the country allocation for Cuba will be 20 000 tonnes. As from the marketing year 2009/2010 the country allocation for Cuba will be 10 000 tonnes. |
The Republic of Cuba accepts the European Community approach to netting-out of tariff rate quotas as a way of adjusting the GATT obligations of the EC-25 and those of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania following the recent enlargement of the European Community.
This agreement will enter into force two months after the date of the signed letter from the Republic of Cuba.
On behalf of the European Community
