Brussels, ...
Sir,
I have the honour to refer to the Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters of 2 May 1992 between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland concerning certain agricultural products and to the negotiations which have taken place between the two parties with a view to adapting the said Agreement and establishing trade arrangements for certain agricultural products in the spirit of Article 15 of the EEC-Iceland Free Trade Agreement, consequent on the Accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union.
I hereby confirm that the results of the negotiations were as follows:

1. |
Iceland and the Community agree that, from 1 January 1995, the concessions granted by the Republic of Iceland under the abovementioned exchange of letters shall be extended to the enlarged Community. |

2. |
From 1 January 1995 the Community will open for Iceland the annual tariff quotas set out in Annex I hereto. |
