COMMUNICATION FROM BANGLADESH
With reference to the notification of acceptance, subject to ratification, by Bangladesh of the above-mentioned Agreement which appeared in my letter GLI/303 of 3 May 1994, I have the honour to inform you that on 7 November 1994 I received from the Minister for Commerce of Bangladesh the following communication:
"I have the honour to inform you that I had full authority from the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh to sign the Final Act embodying the results of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations, including the establishment of the World Trade Organization, and that I had accordingly signed the Act in Marrakesh, Morocco, on 15 April 1994.
In view of the position stated above and as per Bangladesh's existing law, I have the pleasure to inform you further that the ratification of the said Act is not necessary for Bangladesh and that the signing of the same by Bangladesh was final and definitive.
Definitive acceptance by Bangladesh of the Final Act as well as of the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization is reconfirmed through this letter."
