Your Excellency,

The Contracting Parties to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway signed on 14 May 1973, have examined in the Joint Committee the possibility of making certain amendments to Tables I and II annexed to Protocol 2 to the said Agreement. The proposed amendments are set out in Annex I.

I have the honour to confirm to you the agreement of the Community to the amendments and I propose that they enter into force on 1 January 1977. I should be grateful if you would confirm the agreement of your Government to the amendments and to the date proposed for their entry into force.

In addition, I should like to take this opportunity to inform you that since 1 January 1976 non-crystallizable sorbitol has been transferred from heading No 29.04 to heading No 38.19 of the Common Customs Tariff. Since this product is listed in Table I of Protocol 2 to the Agreement between the Community and your country, it would be desirable for practical reasons to adjust the tariff lists in the Agreement. These adjustments are set out in Annex II. This change of heading does not affect in any way the tariff treatment laid down by Protocol 2 for the product in question.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurance of my highest consideration.

On behalf of the Council

of the European Communities
