Notifications under Articles 2.8(c) and 2.11 of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing

2.11 by Colombia (G/TMB/N/483) and Sri Lanka (G/TMB/N/484).  Colombia notified that "on 1 
January 2005, it will integrate into the GATT 1994 al l of the textile and clothing products covered by 
the ATC that were not integrated during the first th ree stages of integration established in Article 2.8 
of the ATC.  As of that date, Colombia will thus  have integrated all of the products listed in the 
Annex to the ATC into the GATT 1994".  Sri Lanka notified that "on 1 January 2005, it will integrate 
into the GATT 1994 all of the textile and clothing  products covered by the ATC that were not 
integrated during the first three stages of integration.   As of that date, Sri Lanka will have integrated 
into the GATT 1994 all of the products  listed in the Annex to the ATC". 
6. In reviewing these notifications under Article 2.21, the TMB noted that both Colombia and 
Sri Lanka had confirmed that on the first day of the 121
st month that the WTO Agreement would be in 
effect their respective textiles and clothing sector s shall be integrated into GATT 1994.  The TMB 
reiterated its earlier observation that in order to  inject the necessary tr ansparency into the 
implementation of the ATC, it would be useful to  provide a detailed list of the products to be 
integrated on 1 January 2005.  Accordingly, the TMB had already invited all Members concerned to 
provide such a list.1
