    (3) According to that Agreement, participants are to meet to consider any divergence among them in classifying information technology products, beginning with the products specified in Attachment B of the Annex thereto. This procedure brings to the fore changes to be made to the Community's tariff schedule, reproduced in Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87. Once they are agreed to by the participants to the Agreement, the said changes must be implemented as quickly as possible,
