ANNEX 1a

Argentina intends to maintain restrictions on certain products originating in China, such as textiles and clothing, footwear not used for sporting activities and toys, after the accession of China, as follows:

Specific duties: phasing out will be in line with the following methodology:

1. The base level of specific duties will be that in force at the time of the accession of China and the ad valorem equivalent of each specific duty applied to each tariff position.

2. The transition period will be five years from the date of accession of China, after which a 35% ad valorem duty will apply.

— Sixth year: As of 1 January of the sixth year, the ceiling of the 35% ad valorem equivalent to the minimum specific import duties (DIEMs) will apply.

European Communities: phasing-out timetable of industrial (non-textile) quotas on imports from China

Hungary undertakes to phase out these restrictions by the year 2005. The restraint levels are based on the import data of the year 1999. The annual quota growth and the carry over and carry forward rates in the case of textiles and clothing products are included in the notification.
