Dear Ambassador Szepesi,
Further to my letter of 28 December 2000 regarding Canada's third stage of integration under
the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC), this is to inform the TMB of a correction of a
typographical error in Canada’s third stage of integration and a separate correction of a computation
error in Canada’s earlier stages of integration.
The total volume imports of ATC products for 1990 reported under “Total ATC Coverage” at
the end of the table attached to my letter of 28 December 2000 should be adjusted to 3,421,389,685SMEs to correct an inadvertent typographical error.  There is no change in the total volume of imports
of ATC products integrated under the third stage, and the percentage of integration remains at
18.03 per cent.
My authorities also wish to inform the TMB of a computation error in the total volume of
imports of ATC products in 1990 and the total volume of imports of ATC products integrated under
the second stage of integration that were reported in Canada’s earlier notifications to the TMB.  In
preparing Canada's third stage of integration, Canadian authorities discovered a computer
computation error that affected the summing of thes e totals reported earlier to the TMB.  The volume
of some individual ATC products were inadvertently omitted when summing these totals.  There areno changes to the volume of imports of individual ATC products.
As a consequence of correcting this computation problem, the total volume of imports of
ATC products in 1990 is, as indicated above, 3,421,389,685 SMEs, and not 3,420,644,346 SMEs as
reported in Canada's letter of 27 May 1997 to the TMB and circulated in WTO documentG/TMB/N/214/Corr.1.  The total volume of imports  of ATC products integrated under the second
stage is 638,628,010 SMEs, and not 636,461,933 SME's as reported in Canada's letter of 23 June 1997
to the TMB and circulated in WTO document G/TMB/N/214/Add.2.   As a result of this computation
correction, the percentage of integration for the second stage is 18.67 per cent.G/TMB/N/2/Corr.3

The original calculation of the total volume of imports of ATC products integrated during the
first stage was not affected by this computation problem and this volume remains unchanged at
559,519,186 SMEs as indicated in WTO document G/TMB/W/2/Corr.2, but the percentage ofintegration in the first phase is adjusted to 16.35%.
