OF FINLAND

Dear Sir,

I have the honour to refer to the Memorandum of

Understanding concerning trade in certain textile products

between Hong Kong and Finland done in Hong Kong on 2 July

1980, as amended by our exchange of notes in January 1981.

I have the honour to refer further to consultations between

the two Governments which have taken place in Helsinki on

10 November 1981.

As a result of the above-mentioned consultations, I

propose on behalf of the Government of Finland that the

Memorandum of Understanding be further amended as follows:

(i) As of 1 October 1981, Category E6 (blouses, not

knitted or crocheted, wholly or mainly by weight

of cotton or of man-made fibres, women's and girls'

wear) shall be removed from the list of products

in Annex II to the Memorandum of Understanding.

The Government of Hong Kong may continue to issue

export licences against export authorizations

approved prior to 1 October 1981, subject to

sub-paragraph (iii) below.

(iii) For the purposes of applying paragraph 5 of the

Memorandum of Understanding, Hong Kong shall

debit all exports of Category E6 since 1 August

1981, licenced against export authorisations

approved prior to 1 October 1981, to the restraint

limit for Category 5 for the period 1 August 1981 ·

of paragraph 6 of the Memorandum of Understanding,

Finland shall admit such exports of Category E6.

If the foregoing proposal is acceptable to the Government

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest
