Following the submission of the first Communication, Cuba submit- xxx a claim of interest pursuant to Article XXI:2(a) of the GATS (S/L/ 174) with regard to S/SECRET/8. No claim of interest was submitted with regard to S/SECRET/9. The EC and Cuba entered into negotiations pursuant to Article XXI:2(a) of the GATS with regard to S/SECRET/8. With regard to the procedure initiated by the notification contained in document S/SECRET/8, the initial period for the negotiations, which expired on 26 October 2004, was extended (by mutual agreement) five times (until 26 April 2005, until 27 February 2006, until 1 June 2006, until 1 July and until 17 July 2006). During such negotiations, the EC and Cuba have agreed on compensatory adjustments related to the with- drawals and modifications contained in document S/SECRET/8. The Report on the result of these negotiations, which is attached to this letter, includes (1) the proposed modifications in the notifications referred to above, (2) the agreed compensatory adjustments with regard to the modifications or withdrawals notified in S/SECRET/8, and (3) the draft consolidated schedule of specific commitments that results from merging existing schedules of commitments of the EC and its Member States and from inserting therein both the modifications or withdrawals of commitments notified by the EC under documents S/SECRET/8 and S/SECRET/9 and the compensatory adjustments agreed between the EC and Cuba. This letter and Annex I and II of the report attached to it constitute the Agreement between the EC and Cuba with regard to S/SECRET/8 for purposes of Article XXI:2(a) of the GATS.1) The Agreement shall not be interpreted to modify the Lists of Article II Exemptions of the EC and its Member States. The Agreement shall not be interpreted to affect the Parties’ rights and obligations under Article VIII of the GATS. Pursuant to the procedures referred to in paragraphs 20 to 22 of S/L/ 80, the EC will transmit, to the Secretariat for circulation, the draft con- solidated schedule for certification by 14 September 2006, provided that an agreement has been signed with all affected Members, or the period foreseen in paragraph 7 of S/L/80 has expired, and no arbitration has been requested. The results of the negotiations are to enter into force, after completion of the certification procedures, on a date to be specified by the EC following completion of the EC’s internal approval proce- dures, which the EC endeavours to accelerate as much as possible. The modifications and withdrawals proposed in documents S/SECRET/8 and S/SECRET/9 shall not enter into force until all of the compensatory adjustments indicated in Annex II have entered into force.
