The number of electric motors of Six County manufacture imported under tariff concession since the concession was granted is 103. The arrangement is confined to motors manufactured by firms established and bona fide owned in the Six Counties and the volume of imports is limited to the level of imports from such firms before the imposition of import duties on these motors in 1958. At the present time, one firm in the Six Counties is availing itself of the tariff concession.
