Brussels, ...

Your Excellency,

Article 1 (1) of Protocol 6 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland signed on 22 July 1972 provides for a progressive reduction of the customs duty of 15 % applied to imports of fish fillets falling within subheading 03.01 B II b) of the Common Customs Tariff.

Following a decision adopted in 1972 by the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature, frozen raw fish fillets coated with breadcrumbs now fall within subheadings 16.04 C and G (prepared or preserved fish).

In order to avoid fish fillets coated with breadcrumbs falling within subheadings 16.04 C and G being excluded, as a result of this amendment, from the benefit of the said Article, amendments of form should be made to the text of that Article. These amendments, which are set out in the Annex, are applicable as from 1 July 1976.

I should be grateful if you would kindly confirm the agreement of your Government to these amendments.

Please accept, your Excellency, the assurance of my highest consideration.

On behalf of the Council of the European Communities
