Article 3 Article 12 of the Additional Protocol shall, from paragraph 4 onwards, be amended as follows: "4. The Association Council may also, during the transition period, decide that the right available to Turkey under paragraph 3 may entitle it to introduce quotas, instead of reintroducing, increasing or imposing customs duties, provided that such quota is not lower than 60 % of the imports from the Community of the product in question during the preceding year. The value of imports from the Community in 1967 of the products affected by these quota measures must be counted against the total value of the imports referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 3. The Association Council shall lay down the conditions governing the application and termination of these measures. 5. Notwithstanding paragraph 4 and for the period during which Turkey applies the degree of consolidated liberalization fixed at 40 % in accordance with Article 22

If the Association Council has not taken a decision under paragraph 4, within six months of a request being made, Turkey may, after informing the Association Council and not earlier than one year after making its request, introduce quotas on the terms indicated in paragraph

1. All such quotas shall not affect more than 5 % of the total value of imports in 1967 from the Community as originally constituted. The value of imports in 1967 which are affected by quota measures shall be calculated on the basis of imports from the Community as originally constituted and shall be charged against the value referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph
2. If, however, these quotas affect products added to the list when the degree of consolidated liberalization was raised in accordance with Article 22

(4), the value of imports shall be calculated on the basis of imports in 1967 from the original Member States and the new Member States. Turkey shall, at the same time, add new products to the list of liberalized products consolidated in accordance with Article 22

(4)in order to ensure that the value of imports from the Community of all the products listed does not fall. Consultations may be held within the Association Council on the progressive elimination of restrictive measures introduced by Turkey pursuant to this paragraph. 6. The Association Council may derogate from paragraphs 1, 3, 4 and 5." Article 4 1. For the purposes of Articles 12, 22

(2)and

(5)and 25 of the Additional Protocol, the level of imports to be taken into consideration from the Community shall, when being calculated, include, among imports from the Community in its original composition, Turkish imports from the new Member States during the period under consideration. However, for the purposes of Article 22

(2)of the Additional Protocol, this rule shall apply only to increases in the degree of consolidated liberalization to be effected by Turkey after 1 January

2. On the entry into force of this Protocol, Turkey may make amendments to the list of liberalized products which it has supplied in accordance with Article 22

(4)of the Additional Protocol, provided that: - these amendments do not affect more than 10 % of the value of imports from the Community in 1967 of products contained in the list, - the value of imports from the Community of all the products contained in the list of liberalized products, calculated as before on the basis of the figures for 1967, does not fall, - for products removed from the list of liberalized products, quotas are opened which are not less than 60 % of imports of these products from the Community during the preceding year, without prejudice to the right of Turkey to apply to these products the provisions of Article 22

(5)of the Additional Protocol. The value of imports from the Community which are affected by these amendments shall be counted against the total value of imports referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 12

(3)of the Additional Protocol. Turkey shall notify the Association Council of measures taken in pursuance of the above provisions. Article 5 The following shall be substituted for Article 29
