No new quantitative restriction on imports or exports or measure having equivalent effect shall be introduced in trade between the Community and Algeria. 3. Quantitative restrictions on imports or exports and measures having equivalent effect in trade between Algeria and the Community shall be abolished upon the entry into force of this Agreement. 4.
