substance does not exceed zero. However, in order to satisfy the basic
domestic needs of the Parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5, its
calculated level of production may exceed that limit by up to fifteen per
cent of its calculated level of production for 1989. This paragraph will
apply save to the extent that the Parties decide to permit the level of
production or consumption that is necessary to satisfy uses agreed by them
to be essential.
