Mr. Channon

The information is not available in the form requested. However details of the tariff reductions agreed by the European Community in the Tokyo round of the general agreement on tariffs and trade are available in volume IV of the annex to the Geneva protocol to the general agreement on tariffs and trade. This sets out the rates of duty which will apply under each of the headings of the common customs tariff of the European Community in 1987.
