  Dear Chairman,  
 Pursuant to Article 2 of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC), I have the honour to 
notify that on 1 January 2005, the European Commun ity will integrate into GATT 1994 all textile and 
clothing products to which the ATC applies, as listed in the Annex of the ATC, that were not 
integrated during the first three stages of integra tion under the ATC.  On this date, the European 
Community will eliminate all remaining restricti ons under the ATC on such products, and thus the 
European Community will have integrated into GATT 1994 all products listed in the Annex of the 
ATC. 
   Sincerely yours,
