ad valorem
terms.
(3)  This concession is only applicable to products not benefiting from any kind of export subsidies and in the case of cereal products (CN chapters 10 and 11), are accompanied by an export licence with an indication to that effect.

(5)  Quantities of goods subject to the existing tariff quota and released for free circulation as from 1 July 2004 before the entry into force of this Protocol shall be fully counted against the quantity provided for in the column concerning the Annual Quantity.
