10 December 1998
Subject:  List of products to be integrated into the GATT 1994
Sir,
I refer to the communication sent by the Textiles Monitoring Body concerning the repetition
of the product identified under heading HS 5901.90 ("Tracing cloth, prepared painting canvas,
stiffened textile fabrics for hat foundations"), which had already been integrated in the first stage.
In order to comply with the second-stage integration obligation of 17 per cent of the total
volume of textile and clothing imports for 1990, we suggest replacing the mentioned product with
heading HS 5515.92 ("Woven fabrics of other synthetic staple fibre, mixed with/wool or fine animal
hair, n.e.s."), for which the volume of imports for 1990 was 8,390 kilogrammes.
I would be grateful if you would transmit the at tached list to the Textiles Monitoring Body.
Accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.
