Consultations
The Republic of South Africa undertakes that it shall not make any claim, request or referral nor modify or withdraw any concession pursuant to GATT Articles XXIV.6 and XXVIII in relation to the enlargement of the Community. Until the end of July 2004, the Community would, however, be willing to consider holding further consultations under Article 22(2) of the TDCA.
Goods en route or in temporary storage
1. The provisions of the Agreement shall be applied to goods exported from either South Africa to one of the new Member States or from one of the new Member States to South Africa, which comply with the provisions of Protocol 1 to the TDCA and which on the date of accession are either en route or in temporary storage, in a customs warehouse or in a free zone in South Africa or in that new Member State.
2. Preferential treatment shall be granted in such cases, subject to the submission to the customs authorities of the importing country, within four months from the date of accession, of a proof of origin issued retrospectively by the customs authorities of the exporting country.
Quotas in 2004
For the year 2004, the increases in the volumes of existing tariff quotas shall be calculated as a pro rata of the basic volumes, taking into account the part of the period elapsed before 1 May 2004.
