Turkey shall endeavour to extend to all Member States of the ►M8 European Community ◄ the most favourable treatment which it grants to one or more of them.
Article 10

Article 11
Notwithstanding Article 10 (2) and (3), Turkey shall progressively abolish, over a period of twenty-two years, in accordance with the following timetable, the basic duties in respect of the ►M8 European Community ◄ on the products listed in Annex 3: a reduction of 5 % on each duty shall be made on the entry into force of this Protocol. Three further reductions, each of 5 %, shall be made three, six and ten years later.
Eight further reductions, each of 10 %, shall be made twelve, thirteen, fifteen, seventeen, eighteen, twenty, twenty-one and twenty-two years respectively after the entry into force of this Protocol.
Article 12
Turkey may, during the first eight years of the transitional stage, make the amendments to Annex 3 which are needed to protect the development of a processing industry which did not exist in Turkey at the time of entry into force of this Protocol, or to ensure the expansion in accordance with the Turkish development plan in force at the time, of an existing processing industry. Such amendments may, however, only be made on condition that:
Products added to Annex 3 may- immediately be made liable to duties calculated in accordance with Article 11; those products which are removed from that list shall immediately be made liable to duties calculated in accordance- with the provisions of Article 10.
These tariff measures shall not, for any of the tariff headings which they affect, raise the duty on imports from the ►M8 European Community ◄ to more than 25 % ad valorem.

If the Association Council has not taken a decision under paragraph 4, within six months of a request being made, Turkey may, after informing the Association Council and not earlier than one year after making its request, introduce quotas on the terms indicated in paragraph 4.
All such quotas shall not affect more than 5 % of the total value of imports in 1967 from the ►M8 European Community ◄ as originally constituted. The value of imports in 1967 which are affected by quota measures shall be calculated on the basis of imports from the ►M8 European Community ◄ as originally constituted and shall be charged against the value referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 3.

the total annual value of such quotas does not exceed 10 % of the average value of Turkish imports from third countries during the past three years for which statistics are available, excluding from such imports those which were made with the help of the means referred to in Annex 4.

If one or more Member States do not apply the decision taken by the International Monetary Fund as referred to in the preceding subparagraph, the weight of fine gold contained in the unit of account shall alter in inverse ratio to the change decided by the International Monetary Fund.
