Mr. András Szepesi
Chairman
Textiles Monitoring Body
World Trade Organization
Dear Mr. Szepesi,
In accordance with Article 2.8 of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing of the World Trade
Organization (WTO), please find attached our integration programme for the third stage.
Bearing in mind that the textiles import statistics for 1990 contain many tariff classification
errors owing to the transposition of the NAUCA II nomenclature to the Central American
Harmonized System (SAC), the attached list was drawn up on the basis of 1995 textiles and clothingimport statistics.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed) Lester Mejía Solís
Ambassador
Permanent RepresentativeG/TMB/N/361
