               In accordance with Article 38 of Annex III to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part (1) (‘the Agreement’), the EU-Chile Association Committee (‘the Association Committee’) may decide to amend the provisions of that Annex.

               (4)
