Dear Ambassador Szepesi,
In accordance with Articles 2.8(b) and 2.11 of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing
(ATC), it is my pleasure to notify the attached list of products to be integrated into GATT 1994 in the
third stage of integration established in the cited Agreement.
The total volume of Korea's 1990 imports of ATC products, as amended, was
440,989,269 kg.  Since the volume of the third stage integration amounts to 80,333,440 kg, the
calculated rate of integration in the third stage is 18.22 per cent.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed)
