REQUEST FOR CONSULTATIONS FROM THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
UNDER ARTICLE 12.3 OF THE AGREEMENT ON SAFEGUARDS
Imposition of a Safeguard Measure by Argentina
on Imports of Peaches
Supplement
The following communication, dated 29 August 2001, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Argentina.
_______________
Please find herewith a supplement to our note of 21 August, referring to the European
Communities' request for consultations under Article 12.3 of the Agreement on Safeguards in
connection with the decision to apply safeguard measures to imports of peaches preserved in water
containing added sweetening matter, including syrup, preserved in any other form or in water.
In this connection, I would like to inform you that my authorities have notified the Delegation
of the European Commission in Argentina that, following consultation with the competent authority
in the Ministry of the Economy (namely, the Under- Secretariat for Foreign Trade Management), it has
been proposed to hold the aforementioned consultations in the city of Buenos Aires, on a date to be
determined.  This would ensure the presence of all the Government agencies that have taken part in
the process, namely the National Foreign Trade Commission (CNCE), which made the determination
of injury, and the Under-Secretariat of the Ministry of the Economy, which is in charge of the matter.
