With reference to his public notice, issued today, of inten tion to negotiate a trade agreement with the Government of Turkey, the Secretary of State announces that, unless sup plementary announcement is made, the granting of conces sions by the United States will be considered only with re spect to the articles listed below. However, interested per sons may present to the Committee for Reciprocity Informa tion information or views concerning concessions on any article imported into the United States from Turkey, or concerning any article imported into that country from the United States.
The attached list is not a list of articles on which con cessions-are proposed, but rather a list of articles which will come under consideration for the possible granting of con cessions. Their publication enables interested persons to learn whether or not products in which they are interested may be considered for the granting of concessions to the Government of Turkey. Concessions will not be granted on any article not covered by the present or supplementary listing, and decision to grant a concession on any article covered in the listing will not be made until after the dates set by the Committee for Reciprocity Information for the presentation of briefs and for supplementary oral hearings.
Some of the products listed may not be the subject of any concession under th e terms of the agreement, and the import duties on those items which are included in the agreement as finally negotiated may o r may not be changed.
For the purpose of facilitating identification of the articles listed, reference is made in the list to the paragraph numbers of the tariff schedules in the Tariff Act of 1930. The de scriptive phraseology is however in many cases limited to a narrower field than th at covered by the numbered tariff paragraph. In such cases only the articles covered by the descriptive phraseology of the list will come under con sideration for the granting of concessions. Concessions ul timately granted may cover articles as described in the list, or may be limited to certain specific commodities or groups of commodities falling within the limits of the descriptive phraseology of the list.
