While this Agreement is valid upto 30-6-1979 for certain products, it expired on 28-2-1979 for certain other products falling under Groups IV, V, IX and the "Rest Group". It has been decided to prolongate the Agreement upto 30-6-1979 in respect of these groups.

Inviting attention to the Exports (Control) Amendment Order No. E(QO, 1977/AM(104J dated 20-3-1979, on the above subject, tho scheme relating to the exports to Sweden of the products of the above mentioned groups for the quota period upto 30-6-1979, is given below- (In respect of other groups of products for which the Agreement is valid upto 30-6-1979, the scheme of exports has already been announced vide Public Notico No. 22-ETC (PN)/79 dated 22-2-1979).
2. The entire quota available for the period 1-3-1979 to 30-6-1979 will be allocated on flrst-come, first-served basis for ready goods. For all the items specified in the Annexure, quotas will be allocated by the Cotton Textiles Export Promo- tion Council, Bombay (hereafter abbreviated as TEXPROCIL) and necessary certification will also be done by the Texprocil.
3. For garments and knitwear, 20% of tho quota may be allocated for higher value items. For this purpose, there will be two sets of floor prices—one relating to higher value items covored by 20 % allocation and the other basic floor price for items covered by the remaining 80% of the allocation. Quota allocation for cotton garments and knitwear will be made on LC terms. For first-come, first-served ready goods allocation, LC should bo produced at the time of quota endorsement.
4. Shipments against quota allocations on first-come, first-served ready goods basis will have to be effected within 10 days from the date of quota endorsement. However, this period can be extonded in exceptional cases for valid roasons on specific authorisation from the Textilo Commissioner or his representative.
5. Wherever the quotas for cotton, woollen and man-made fibres items are combined appropriate portion of such combined quotas have been reserved each for woollen garments and man-made fibres garments. This is, however, subject to review and, if necessary, a further enhancement or reduction in the reservation for these items may be made by Government. 50 % of the quota has been reserved for handloom items. This is, however, subject to review depending upon the trend of demand.
6. The imports into Sweden will be permitted against the import licence issued to the importer on the basis of the export certificate issued at the time of endorsement by the Texporcil or its authorised up-country representatives on fulfilment of
the terms and conditions laid down for the purpose.
