Dear Mr. Chairman,
In reply to your letter of 31 July 2002, I was instructed by my government to provide the
following information to the TMB.
With respect to Turkey's additional notification (G/TMB/N/422/Add.2), China would like to
draw the attention of the TMB to China's notific ation of 19 April 2002 (G/TMB/N/447) and would
like to stress again that because Turkey failed to notify the appropriate growth rates and to use it as
bases for applying the growth-on-growth factors, the quota levels enjoyed by China for the year 2002
are lower than they should have been calculated based on the growth rates applied in 2001.
Please accept, Mr. Chairman, the assurances of my highest consideration.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed)
SUN Zhenyu
