MPC 597/98
22 November 1998
Dear Mr. Szepesi,
As I informed you in my communication 596/981, the Colombian Government considers itself
unable to conform with the recommendations of the TMB because the measure adopted is consistentwith the requirements of Article 6 of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing.
This being the case, I consider it important to inform you that, following the completion of
consultations with the United States, my Government found that no damage was attributable to
imports from the United States.  The level of imports from the United States is lower than wasoriginally estimated, owing to an error in th e customs documentation prepared by the importer.
Yours faithfully,
(Signed) Nestor Osorio Londoño
