TEXT OF LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE RECEIVED FROM

THE GOVERNMENT OF OMAN ON 28 NOVEMBER 1994

 

I have the honour to advise you that the Government of Sultanate of Oman wishes to become party to the Agreement Regarding International Trade in Textiles under Article 13(2) and to the Protocol extending that instrument, dated 9 December 1993.

The Government of the Sultanate of Oman accepts without reservation the provisions of the Agreement and the Protocol thereto, and likewise accepts all obligations under the Agreement, including the commitment not to introduce new restrictions on the import of textile products nor intensify existing ones, to the extent that this would be inconsistent with the provisions of the General Agreement.

The Government of the Sultanate of Oman has taken note of the provisions of Article 2(1) of the Agreement and in this respect confirms that upon becoming a party to the Arrangement it will notify in detail to the Textiles Surveillance Body all restrictions applied by it on imports of textiles and clothing covered by the Arrangement.

The Sultanate of Oman is a developing exporting country. Its Government hopes that upon becoming a party to the Arrangement and the Protocol thereto, and in respect of matters covered by those instruments, it will be entitled to receive treatment equivalent to that accorded to other participating countries at a like level of economic development.
