wo goverments (the agreement), which provides that:
〞A schedule of handicraft and art articles which shall be exem-
pt from the limitations of this Agreement shall be developed by

Pursuant to the aforesaid paragraph of the Agreement, I propose
on behalf of my government that the following be incorporated i-
nto the Agreement as Annex C.

ured in the Republic of China, shall be exempt from the limitat-
ions of the Agreement:

b Embroideries (needlework), of man-made fabrics with design em-
broidered with wool thread;
c Handmade carpets, i.e., in which the pile was inserted or kno-
tted by hand;
d Christmas tree or Easter ornaments having a non-textile core
or a non-textile structured frame and man-made fiber textile
covering; and
e Toy animals, birds or insects with a plastic, wire, or other

hread or fiber.
