December 1992. The Directorate-General wishes to inform the Mission of the People's Republic of Bangladesh that whilst awaiting the completion of the necessary procedures for the conclusion and the coming into force of the extended Agreement, the Community is prepared to allow the provisions of the Agreement to apply de facto from 1 January 1993. This is on the understanding that either Party may at any time terminate this de facto application of the extended Agreement provided that 120 days' notice is given. The Directorate-General for External Relations would be grateful if the Mission would confirm its Agreement to the foregoing. The Directorate-General for External Relations avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Mission of the People's Republic of Bangladesh to the European Communities the assurance of its highest consideration.
