10 June 1954 CORRIGENDA TO THE CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULES 1. There is herewith circulated to each contracting party a draft of the corrections to be made to the Consolidated Schedules in order to keep them abreast of the legal texts annexed to the General Agreement. 2. It has not been thought necessary to prepare a new page for every change. This procedure would have entailed the risk of introducing further errors. In the case of the Schedule of the Belgian Congo and Ruanda Urundi (Schedule II, Section B), however, where the whole Section has been modified, a new Section has been prepared to replace the original. 3. Accordingly, there has been prepared for each consolidated schedule which requires amendment - as listed overleaf - (i) the items which have been modified or which require substantial amendment and the new items which are to be inserted, (the texts reproduced are to replace the whole of the corresponding items or sub-items in the Consolidated Schedules, unless otherwise indicated), and (ii) a list of alterations, such as changes in punctuation marks or item numbers, deletions of items, changes of single words, etc., which can be made more quickly and conveniently by hand. 4. For changes which arise out of rectifications or modifications contained in protocols, documents, etc., the source can be conveniently traced through the "List of Changes effected by Protocols and Decisions of the CONTRACTING PARTIES" (G/75). 5. Contracting parties are requested to examine the draft and to report any additions, corrections, etc., by 10 July 1954. By that date all contracting parties should indicate the number of photo-offset copies re^ulred-.- M3T/11/54 TABLE OF CONTENTS iÈSS.
