Additional Info MTN.SB/6 (12/07/1988) SB Meeting on 21 June 1988: US "had told the Surveillance Body that since Greece had lifted the ban, the notification was now withdrawn." Annex: US referring to its notification MTN.SB/SN/10 (19/04/1988) Standstill Notification to the Surveillance Body [MTN.SB/SN/10/Add.1 Note by the Secretariat] "welcomed the news, as reflected in the copy of letters from the Greek authorities to the European Communities, informing the Community that as of 29 April 1988, imports of almonds were not subject to quantitative restrictions." The notification from the US was then no longer on the table of the Surveillance Body.
