Paragraph 6 Statistical verification of carry-over

Hong Kong shall provide the Community with export data showing the amounts of carry-over available in any given year. If substantial statistical differences exist between the export data from which the amount to be carried over is calculated and the Community's data the Community may, within the first 120 days of the following year, request consultations in accordance with the procedures referred to in Article 12 (1) of these administrative arrangements on the amounts involved. Any such request shall be accompanied by full particulars of the alleged statistical differences. Where such a request is made, the portions carried over shall not be used until the parties have completed consultations. If no such request is made within a 120-day period, the portion carried over shall be presumed to have been calculated correctly.
