Under the terms of the Anglo-Irish Free Trade Area Agreement provision was made for the immediate removal of certain quota restrictions and the temporary retention of others. The quota restrictions on leather footwear will be removed on 1st July, 1970. The provisions of the agreement will then apply to quota restrictions on electric filament lamps, women's stockings, sparking plugs, laminated springs and brushes. Under these provisions, the quota restrictions on electric filament lamps fall to be abolished on 1st July, 1971 and the quota restrictions on the remaining commodities will, subject to substantial annual increases in the meantime, be abolished on 1st July, 1975—
