Indexation and Conversion of Thresholds

1. The calculations described in Article 1002(4) (Scope and

(a) the United States inflation rate shall be measured by the

the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods published by

the United States Department of Commerce; and

to the following formula

T0 x (1+ pi) = T1

T0= threshold value at base period

T1= new threshold value.

2. Mexico and Canada shall calculate and convert the value of the

thresholds specified in paragraph 3 into their national currencies

using the conversion formulas set out in paragraph 3 or 4, as

appropriate. Mexico and Canada shall notify each other and the

United States of the value, in their respective currencies, of the

newly calculated thresholds not less than one month before the

rates of the Bank of Canada. From January 1, 1994 through December

31, 1995, the conversion rate shall be the average of the weekly

values of the Canadian dollars in terms of the U.S. dollars over

the period October 1, 1992 through September 30, 1993. For each

subsequent two-year period, beginning January 1, 1996, the

Canadian dollar in terms of the U.S. dollar over the two-year

period ending September 30 of the year preceding the beginning of

each two-year period.

4. Mexico shall use the conversion rate of the Banco de México.

The conversion rate shall be the existing value of the Mexican peso

in terms of the US dollar as of December 1 and June 1 of each year,

or the 1st working day after. The conversion rate as of December 1

shall apply from January 1 to June 30 of the following year, and as

of June 1 shall apply from July 1 to December 31 of that year.
