    Brussels, ...

    Your Excellency,

    Article 1 (1) of Protocol 6 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland signed on 22 July 1972 provides for a progressive reduction of the customs duty of 15 % applied to imports of fish fillets falling within subheading 03.01 B II b) of the Common Customs Tariff.

    Following a decision adopted in 1972 by the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature, frozen raw fish fillets coated with breadcrumbs now fall within subheadings 16.04 C and G (prepared or preserved fish).

These amendments, which are set out in the Annex, are applicable as from 1 July 1976.

    Please accept, your Excellency, the assurance of my highest consideration.
