ACCESSION OF LATVIA
Communication from Latvia
The following communication, addressed to the Chairman of the Working Party, has been
received from Latvia.
_______________
Reference is made to Latvia's WTO tariff Schedule on Goods, Schedule CXLIII – Republic of
Latvia, which is circulated in document WT/ACC/LVA/32/Add.1 on 30 September 1998 and which
will be annexed to the Protocol of Accession of Latvia.  It is agreed that this Schedule will undergotechnical work by Latvia before 31 December 1998 in order to conform all tariff lines to the 6-digit
(at a minimum) Harmonized System level.  It is understood that the concessions contained therein
would not change, rather the work would be a technical transposition.  The revised Schedule will then
be circulated and follow the procedures for rectification and modification of Schedules as contained in
the "Procedures for Modification and Rectification of Schedules of Tariff Concessions"
(BISD 27S/25).  Thus, Members would have three months to examine the Schedule, and assuming
there are no objections, the Schedule would be appended to the Protocol of Accession of Latvia.
