Question posed by the UNITED STATES
concerning the Updating Article XVII Notifications of SLOVENIA1
The following communication, dated 14 May 1999, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of the United States.
_______________
We appreciate Slovenia's comprehensive notifications which should be commended.
However, based on the information provided in Tables I and III, in 1995 and 1996, domestic sales by
Slovenia's Commodity Reserves appeared to be greater than the sum of its imports plus domestic
purchases.  Could Slovenia please clarify whether sales from stocks accumulated in previous years
account for the difference?
