Re:  Notification of the third stage of integration by the Slovak Republic – Corrigendum
Dear Mr. Chairman,
Regarding your letter dated 8 February 2001 requesting some clarifications concerning the
notification of the Slovak Republic of its third stage integration list, I have the honour to offer you the
following explanations.
As for the HS lines ex 4202.22, ex 4202.32 and 4202.92, I can reconfirm that the 1993
imports falling under these ex-HS lines correspond precisely to the product description as contained inthe ATC Annex.  These imports fall under 8-digit Combined Nomenclature CN codes 4202.22.90,
4202.32.90, 4202.32.91 and 4202.32.98 and therefore these shall remain in the notification.
With regard to the other ex-HS lines, namely ex 4202.12, ex 3921.12, ex 3921.13,
ex 3921.90, ex 7019.10 and 7019.20, mentioned in your letter, I am informed that it would be difficultto determine the precise volume of imports of these products as defined in the ATC due to the absence
of relevant statistical data.  In this respect, my authorities decided to withdraw these items accounting
for 4.70 per cent of the 1993 total imports from the previously submitted notification.
At the same time, my authorities decide to withdraw all the 8-digit items from the previous
notification amounting to 3.07 per cent of the 1993 total imports.  These will be included to the last
stage of integration.
All the withdrawn items have been replaced by  the following three lines in the second group
"Fabrics" accounting for 7.77 per cent of the total volume of the 1993 imports.

Due to the extensive changes made in the previous list, I am pleased to attach the revised list
of the third stage of integration.G/TMB/N/378/Rev.1

I am confident, dear Mr. Chairman, that the TMB will find these explanations and changes
satisfactory.
